Should the IFA allow individual players to choose whether or not to they wear a poppy on their shirt during the upcoming World cup qualifier?

The build up is underway to Northern Ireland's two crucial qualifying matches against Switzerland next week.

And after a climb-down by FIFA, it's expected that the players will be allowed to wear poppies on their shirts during the games.

Last year, when NI hosted Azerbaijan on November 11th, a FIFA ruling meant that the team wore black armbands, but did not display poppies.

Now the rule's been changed, should all players be expected to wear the symbol?
