Stadium stewards destroyed my flag so I'm very weary about bringing the replacement...more hassle getting it back at different times as well. Just bring it to away games now

Been saying it for ages the FAI should be encouraging fans to bring their flags and turn the place into a Giants stadium but sure what do we know


indeed we need a sea of green - did nt see the Richard Dunne flag either sunday

The Richard Dunne flag has been gone for over two years.

Got lost after the Poland friendly that time.

They just could not give less of a f**k about atmosphere etc and look upon the dedicated irish support with disgust, they don't even try to hide it anymore. i sometimes get desensitised to the whole thing  until it hits me again that this is the association and its leader charged with promoting the sport in the f**king country
No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough

The FAI are going ridiculously overboard since the USA match and now they are absolutly taking the piss.
Not aloud hang flags of any kind now? Sure why not go all the way and ban us from singing, shouting or god forbid supporting the team in any way shape or form.
They couldnt give a sh*te as long as the dictator is happy.

How would it look if the fans left their flags at home on Saturday and all arrived in the SS in white or black......silent first 15 minutes and then chants of Peaceful Protest......JD out....Time for Change.....

The way i see it is very simple....the FAI know they can treat you like sh*t on Sunday and there will still be fools willing to give up their free time to decorate the stadium the next Saturday......if i was in Abbottown I would be laughing all day long knowing that i am getting away with the sh*t.

Any way of getting the Gardai on our side? Just ignore the stewards and tell them to f**k right off with themselves.

As someone who works in Security in a Stadium I always play the Ground regulations card to solve an argument, as far as I'm aware there's no ground regulations at the Aviva which involve not being able to bring a type of flag to the stadium so it might be a valid argument to throw back at them.

The only regulation I'm aware of is the flagpole has to be plastic and less than 1 meter

I think someone should get onto the minister for sport Paschal Donohoe, just a quick email explaining the situation to see what he has to say about it.

Could act as the middle man.

Also, Joe Duffy. NEVER thought id say that seriously, but all the middle aged aul wan / aul fellas / taximen would be in uproar.

Mmmmmmmm so if I had a flag on 20mm plastic conduit about 900mm long I would be fine ?

Cos a bloody gard confiscated it before the Poland game ( the pole not the flag) (the pole being the conduit not a person)

I reckon we all bring in a flag each with nothing to do with anti JD/FAI and hold them up at the se time, say the 5th minute and everyone shush at the same time. Something like that..

How many of us have our own flags other then YBIG flags? 

The whole premium and upper section should be decked out them.

A lot of us that have flags don't even bother taking them to home games as to much hassle getting them up. It's easier to get our flags hung in foreign stadiums than it is our own they say can't cover sponsors yet in Poland for the euros hundreds of irish flags covered sponsors such as coca cola with no issue and I'm sure they paid Uefa a lot more money than our sponsors are paying the fai

Really in two minds whether to bring my flag Saturday or not a steward ripped it at the fai cup final in November and because its was fully stitched over in England cost me 40 quid to get it repaired and sent over and back. England end looked well decked out with their flags. Had less issue hanging a flag at the Euros then in the aviva.

What can the stewards do if you just tell them to f**k off, they cant physically carry lads out? There is more fans than them scumbags.
