Messages on Irish flags

Motivator

This flashed up online earlier and I think it’s awful. I don’t know why but I find this really annoying. I know they did it for a laugh but writing “fat cuñt” on the Irish flag is shocking.

Plenty of people write messages on flags at matches and stuff - that stuff is fine because it isn’t offensive and I love seeing different parts of Ireland being represented at Irish games abroad but the flag in the attached photo is a joke.

The Department of An Taoiseach, which has responsibility for such matters has a long standing protocol that includes;

The National Flag should never be defaced by placing slogans, logos, lettering or pictures of any kind on it, for example at sporting events.

Always laughed at the one I saw at a match years ok with "Edenmore AOK" emblazoned on it.

Nothing about putting a wanker at one end of it though.

Don't mind writing on the Irish flag, but my humour must be terrible. I didn't see anything funny. Just some overbearing attention seekers.

Writing on the flag is disrespectful to Ireland and its people.

Anyone called 'Bananahammock' can live with anything.

Your Face

I'm more offended when Sinn Fein misappropriate the flag of the Republic.

kneemos

What's the "your ma" referring to?
Or is it just the worst slogan ever?

AllForIt

Don't get it. Must be some knacker in-joke.

Taytoland

Awful flag.

Arghus

It's really not something worth getting bothered about.

Slang for “your mother”

It’s not the nicest to look at tbh. I’m not a fan of tricolour flags in general. Pretty boring and nothing new. Scrawling on it makes It even worse.

I hate f*ckers that feel the need to scrawl ''Tranmere Rovers'' or ''Irish Blood, Scouse Heart'' on our flag at English football grounds. Idiots.

You have to write it pretty small to get it on a flag, though.

Berserker

Those messages say a lot more about the people who created them that anything else.

Strange how many people who do it are ardent nationalists when you get talking to them. Another thing that I find odd are half and half flags. Have seen flags which has Ireland on one side and Palestine on the other. That's offensive to both surely?

Is that last message for real? I've heard Irish Liverpool fans singing "We're not Irish, we are scouse" in the airport a few years back, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Peregrine

I saw some lad with the flag draped around his waist last year. Young Sinn Féin member and a fervant nationalist. I thought draping the flag over his arse was fairly ****ing disrespectful. Same goes for defacing it with slogans.

I'm a stickler for tradition and respect when it comes to flags and anthems though.

riffmongous

The sneachta slang seems to be a reference to some young person youtube video or something thats been doing the rounds recently, but I've never seen the original.. I'm just not with it anymore and what's it seems weird and scary to me

Digital Solitude

Both from this song, dunno about Ketamine but We Sell Brown is hilarious

Not a bad little ditty.

Both are quotes from the song "ketamine" by the Irish rap duo Versatile who are playing at EP, I presume they're going to see them.

This is the first time I didn't go to to the Electric Picnic (14 years, maaan), but I would have, if I knew that particular noise would be there! Funny stuff!

A bit of early Eminem on there too.

well, they're at the wrong festival so...

Just to get back to the flags for a second, I think what offends me the most is the perfect painting on the flag, they probably even got it printed up.. like why would you bother?

But it represents you. The green is for your Irishness, the orange is for your Orangeness and the white is for the empty space between your ears.

It's three patches of coloured fabric.

Chill.

rockatansky

Such nonsence about a poxy flag. Up there with taking a knee during an anthem. People turn silly over a few colurs. There's no Irish flag God in the sky who's going to rain down a plague upon all our houses because a piece of fabric touched the ground.

Leave the fanatical worshipping of flags, symbols and fairy God's to those idiots up in the 6 counties. It gives them a reason to live.

Plopsu

So is nobody even going to mention the guy in the OPs picture who has a rainbow coming out of the back of his head. Must have to do some serious partying to get that kind of Yellow Submarine sh*t going.

Absolutely spot on. Nothing says 'chip on the shoulder' better than a flag.

Irish Guitarist

I couldn't give a shite personally. It's a piece of fabric. If someone wants to buy one and write nonsensical shite on it it's no skin off my nose.

Doesn't represent me whatsoever. Insulting posters a valid argument does not make.

Pherekydes

When the DrumpfuKKK comes over in November he'll think we designed the flag specially for him: Green for Ireland, Orange for him and white for the skin colour he loves.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Who in God's name would agree to print such things on the flag.

Vicious profanity and references to illegal drug usage.

In certain nations you'd be locked up for desecrating the national flag.

Thank God this country isn’t one of them.

Why is AH becoming Ireland’s Brietbart?

Nobody in Ireland gives a fcuk about over the top fake patriotism and symbol worship that dominates far right America.

I don’t need a flag or feel the need to suck the troops dicks to prove I’m Irish. I’m Irish because I’m Irish. Burn the flag for all I care, not getting offended about a bit of material burning, doesn’t change how Irish I am or my level of proudness to be Irish (whatever proudness of nationality means).

AH has gone down the rabbit hole. Unreadable idiotic right wing safe zone.

If you think uttering the term 'awful flag' on its own is a valid argument then that's an insult to valid arguments.
