    The waving of any national flag is political to some degree. UEFA have a problem here, they openly encourage naked nationalism in international competition yet have a thing about politics when it doesn’t suit their agenda. Methinks it might be because they’re scared of potential issues with sponsors rather than some high minded moral position

    And all you scotnats need a look at yourselves. How many SNP adverts are there round grounds in Scotland. Should clubs be allowed to take advertising money from political parties?

    Really ? A lot of Rangers fans are proud to be British which I see nothing wrong as a lot are royalists which once again I see nothing wrong in.
    What about Dundee, East Fife, St Mirren, Airdrie, Hearts, Dumbarton , Stirling Albion etc fans waving a Union flag ? Do you find that political ?

    A very interesting statement that reveals much about the inside of the average scotnat’s ‘mind’

    Regarding your last question, no I don't think they should. It boils my p1ss when a I see SNP adverts at our grounds. And I would say the same about any political party but the SNP have billboards up in many grounds. Get them to phuck, there is no place in a football ground for that. I'm there to watch a game of football, I don't want to read billboards of a political party

    The huns use the butcher's apron as a symbol of hatred towards Ireland, that is a fact.

    The truth is the union flag does not represent either a nation or a people. It represents a political construct. A gimmick A contrivance. It stands for the British state. Like it or not, the union flag is the emblem of a political cause - the cause of preserving the structures of power and privilege which define the British state.

    The truth is the French flag does not represent either a nation or a people. It represents a political construct. A gimmick A contrivance. It stands for the French state.

    so when Rangers fans did their officially sanctioned 300 years of Union display should they have been hammered?

    Were you up in arms when Rangers fans did this?
