Malvern 11,329 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 When I tried to post this as my concern I got a server error, anyone else have an issue?What I put forward was;"This is in reference to the parade in Glasgow tomorrow concerning the march of football fans tomorrow on the 26th.I am wondering as the Red Hand of Ulster was confiscated at Ibrox today if the Tricolor will be confiscated tomorrow as deemed to be potentially offensive to some inhabitants of Glasgow or if this will now pass to allow this rally to happen? Surely it can be confiscated as it is deemed potentially offensive to be under the offensive behavour act also, like some songs at football matches are.The Red hand of ulster was a flag of the union until 1972, if I believe correctly, and is an associated flag of the provinces of Northern Ireland yet the Tricolor is only recoignised as a flag of a state outwith the UK.I also highly object to not being able to declare myself as "White - British" and not "white - Other British" on your online form as I have every right to class myself as a proud British person and a Scot.I look forward to your reply to my concerns to this display and I hope it is not the same as other privious incidents in Amsterdam, Dundee or Dingwall which are all in the public domain.With Rgds," Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Is this not just 'whataboutery?'How about asking them not to confiscate any flags in the first place instead of pointing fingers at 'the other side...?' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ 743 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 ffs it's hardly the sameWhy? If the Police state that bottles of juice are not permitted in the stadium and if they also state that the RHOU flags are not permitted, the refusal of either is the same. My point might be made in jest but it is simply put that if an item is not permitted at Ibrox, then unless the club push to change that, the club don't want it in the stadium either.

What is offensive about national flags?One is a British flag, one is a European flag.and nah not desperate, want to know why the ploice would want to take a perfectly legitimate flag from a game but will let in an Eire one? let's not even mention the cell block H one as it is still under "investigation".Edit: Phrase comes to mind, From small Acorns Oaks grow.
