Randle P McMurphy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 According to the Sunday Times the stewards removed an Irish flag from hobo fans during the game at m/well. Obviously septic fans will be treated the same on their next visit there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Its not the merits of having the flags I am on about, its just the double standards of how fans outwith the OF are treated differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teepee Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Its not the merits of having the flags I am on about, its just the double standards of how fans outwith the OF are treated differently. No argument there..the simple fact is that no matter how much every other fan in scotland complains its never going to change...they have and alway have had the authorities in their back pocket, both SFA and policing..the simple fact that thier collective term comes from them stitching up games to ensure re-plays and collecting more cash from their adoring masses just goes to show that nothing has ever changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too to be honest. It's a pretty complicated question. The same wavy thing can in some circumstances be excellent and in others detestable. There are so many factors involved. It would actually be nice to have a reasoned debate on here about those wavy things in general but I guess it will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morry Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hibernian does mean Ireland? Therefore I do see why it would be appropriate for Hibs fans to pretend their Irish like how Obama and McCain claim to be Scottish! Smeltic and Hibs can both justify their roots however it's a little ironic that the team that started the tattie league DUFC (formerly Dundee Hibernians) are the team that doesn't bang on about their Irish roots if at all?! Yet Hibs and especially Smeltic ram it in our faces like we care. Why is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Its as bad as the union flag wavers at the Hearts games. Both teams are guilty of having a minority of supporters who do their best to tarnish the good name of the club. Its something which will unfortunately never go away as long as these people continue to follow the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Don Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It seems that when certain hearts fans wave Union Flags they and eventually all of us are labelled as sectarian, bigots, mini huns etc etc etc. When the vermin do it its them "Celebrating their traditions" and its their heritage. Complete tripe. Were all classed as being secatarian and so should that lot be to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, why does anyone get offended by some ned waving a tricolour at them? Never mind feel such indignation that they feel the need to go home, get a Union flag and wave it right back at the, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
