    I am having mixed veg for lunch today,
    If the broccoli carrot and cauliflower happen to form the flag can someone tell me the correct etiquette to eat it without disgracing myself and my country

    What if your 5 year old used some green marker on edge side of a piece of paper and some orange on the other and there was a bit of white left in between - is that a flag?

    Or am I ok to throw it in the recycle bin?

    Can someone advise me as to the correct way to dispose of these without
    disgracing my country?

    You'll never make it in life, lads, if you always need people to make every decision for you. Think for yourselves every once in a while.

    Why would anyone want to bother supporting a bunch of failed English premiership journeymen who couldn't make their own national team?

    Personally I think the kind of people who get het up about flags and how they're treated must have very little going on in their lives to get agitated by such trivialities.

    Very emotive subject. People get really offended when you question why they do stupid things specifically to garner a few pathetic likes on de facebuke.

    The ones in that article are puerile in the extreme - have they been designed by 14 year old boys?

    It's a waste of time trying to explain why defacing a flag with curse words or a picture of a man's nude arse for a laugh would be in any way disrespectful. Anyone who would have that printed that simply isn't intelligent enough to understand.

    Ehhh. I'm calling no one out. Stating it like it is, compadre.

    Calling someone out... LOL. What next? A dance off?

    "Go on the lads! Bants, LOLS, pints! We are all one dimensional caricatures, obsessed with having a good time all the time! It's great craic!"

    The amount of clowns who will be paying back for years for their Euro 2016 trip to witness Ireland losing horribly at yet another international sporting event is hilarious. A fool and their money.........

    Na, nobody is getting het up here, but there's no harm in telling people where they are going wrong when you've an hour or two to kill waiting on a phonecall of a Thursday morning and you're sick of drinking coffee. :)

    The vast majority of the lads going over will have never been to a LoI match. They probably don't even watch the qualifiers, unless it's the play offs.

    It's stupid I'll agree there, would I do it, no I would not I also find it a bit tacky like painting a poor sheep in County colours for all Ireland.

    My point is going around talking about treason, and traitors and such is equally stupid.

    To be fair, most of the players haven't been to a LoI match either.

    Uh, excuse me, have you not heard of a little thing called "the craic"?

    It's all that matters.

    Well I was thinking a sing off.

    But in the interest of patriotism and all that we can do both, the dancing must be irish and the music diddly-iddly :-)

    Seeing as none of the Irish team play in the league of Ireland does it really matter if they follow it or not?
