A few more Dub -v- Kerry Pics

jameshayes

Here's a few pics I took... I'm not as good as the pro in the other thread, or was my seat as good but i did try...

Nalced_irl

Very good pics man. The second last one is very nice. You obviously have quite a good zoom on your camera You can see in the first pic, about half way up the right post, the collection of flags those guys had in the Hill. They were beside me in the Leinster Final last year with just a Palestinian flag, yesterday they had the Palestinian one, a Cuban, a Colombian, an Irish and some other flag i didnt recognise.

I was looking at them up there.. i didnt know what it was about... I tought it had something to do with the international festival in DunL. this weekend..

Excellent pics lad, great quality camera.

Nalced_irl

I think all their flags were political statements. Im sure the one i didnt recognise has some political unrest also.

Flukey

Great photos. I'm in the second one.

APM

Was that not the one he missed!

Nalced_irl

I think it was. He had a similar one later on but it was marginally closer which he managed

I was one of the one's with the flags. It was just a political and solidarity statement.

The flags that were there were the Cuban, Palestinian, Starry Plough, Sunburst, Basque Country, Irish and an Erin go Bragh flag.

There was no Colombian one though. Maybe you got confused with the Sunburst or Basque flag.

Nalced_irl

Ah right, there was one that looked like the Colombian flag. It was probably the sunburst one. Definately not the Basque, i have that on my bedroom wall. I presume it was yourself then at the Leinster Final last year with the Palestinian flag? You were directly beside me and are in a good few of my videos if so and have had alot of praise on the video comments from Palestinians

EDIT: Didnt take me too long to realise i said Cuban instead of Colombian.

It was a friend that had the Palestinian flag with him all last year. I was at the matches with him. But i remember there being other Palestinian flags at times. We were beside a few lads with a Hezbollah flag last year during the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon.

I had the sunburst at the beginning of the game and then the Irish flag. A fella on the very left had the basque flag, then the cuban, then the sunburst, then the Irish followed by the palestinian and then 2 starry ploughs. As far as i remember it was in that order. Ideally we should have been more spaced out cause the flags kept getting tangled. But you know what the hill is like

Flukey

I thought the other flag was the Venezuelan flag.


Obviously a political statement being made by having those three flags in particular, but of course this is not the political forum, so we won't go into details.

**** your right. I had a feeling i was leaving out one. That was the first one that Nalced_irl thought was the Colombian flag.
