Just read online that the SFA are trying to ban the Irish flag from Hampden Park if it’s not the right size or the material is wrong.
After refusing tifo access for Sunday, Hampden have advised that they will now enforce strict conditions on entry of flags. This will include 1 flag per person as well as size and material restrictions.
Back in the early fifties the SFA almost brought Scottish football to its knees when they tried to ban the Irish tri-colour from flying above the enclosure at Celtic Park.
How ludicrous is that.
Acknowledging and celebrating the founder fathers of their club, Celtic stood firm against the ban before the SFA realised that this was no bluff and called off the ban.
I personally have no objection to the Irish flag being flown as It’s the flag of a Country, nothing else.
It’s not a political/religious or any other type of statement, It’s just a flag, full stop.
