Jambos Royal Wedding flag

[Fenriz]

Sat in the FF stand today, but my eagle eyes spotted a few "Kate and William" commemerative Union Jacks being waved around in the Hearts support today. Was some consolation to think that no matter how frustratingly Hibs play, no matter what sort of slavering eejits I'll sit next to in future, I'll never have to face the embarrassment of sitting next to fellow supporters sporting such ludicrously pathetic, tacky, reactionary rubbish at an SPL game. Must be a cringeworthy low, even for the mini Huns?

[147lothian]

red white and blue, aint their colours are they? so how come the e:confused:jit next to the east terrance waving the flag with gorgie loyalists on it never got his colar felt?

[jakki]

Thats an april fool!

Oops just realised we're the 3rd of April.Who in their right mind would fly a flag like that?

Omly a Jambo Hun !!

[Ritchie]

A guy behind me got lobbed put for having (what looked like) a blue flag with White stars on it.

Any idea what that stands for?

Not sure, all I saw was blue and stars. Didn't get a good look though

Just googled it.... It was the plough one

[Diclonius]

Any idea why they had a European Union flag with them? I don't get why that would be seen as winding us up. :dunno:

[heretoday]

Oh dear it's flag time. Don't let them wind you up. Go to Glasgow if you get upset by that sort of nonsense.

[CallumHibs07]

To be honest its no different from us having tricolours. No need to get wound up by it.

[Removed]

Here we go again

[Bishop Hibee]

Union Flags? While I wouldn't wave one myself as it is the flag of GB and as most Scots vote for Unionist parties then it's up to them.

One with 'Gorgie Loyal 1690' written across it as the flag in the Hertz end today is a jump into hunland. Given the sectarian and anti Eire connotations this slogan has, one wonders what Steven Elliot makes of it :confused:

Thank goodness we seem to have moved much further along the road as a support. They, on the other hand, seem to be regressing.

What's a plough flag?

The Starry Plough banner was originally used by the Irish Citizen Army, a socialist, Republican movement. James Connolly, co-founder of the Irish Citizen Army with Jack White, said the significance of the banner was that a free Ireland would control its own destiny from the plough to the stars.
This was flown by the Irish Citizen Army during the 1916 Easter Rising.
The flag depicts the constellation of Ursa Major, known as The Plough in Ireland and Britain, or in the US, the Big Dipper. Ursa Major (Latin: "Great Bear", originating from Greek "Μεγάλη Άρκτος") is one of the most prominent features of the night sky over Ireland throughout the year.

[21.05.2016]

Yes, once again that shower of low lifes showed their true colours. Loud and proud renditions of billy boys, FTP, surrender or you'll die, fenian blood etc etc. going down easter road on the way to the game and no shortage of it inside the groud either. They are a disgrace to our city and to Scotland as a whole. But, much like their big brothers over in the West, nothing will be done and it will be allowed to continue. Small minority? Was it hell!

Pathetic low lifes.

[mentalhibee]

Seen the royal wedding flag aswell, sad like. They're worse than the huns.

[CB_NO3]

Whats Hearts and Northern Irelands connections?

[marinello59]

They could have paid full price for a decent flag but decided to go to a tacky gift shop and buy one for a quid. Classy. :greengrin

Also like the state flag of Alaska

Not that I get wound up or upset by it. Just seems to be an unusually tacky and embarrassing artifact to be displaying, sums them up I suppose.

It's certainly at the point where these days there's more Union Flags in the away end when Hertz come to ER than Rangers.

[Carheenlea]

Whats Hearts and Northern Irelands connections?

Exactly the same connections as Rangers. Nothing, zero, zilch, zip.

Simple mindless sectarianism and bigotry by both. Hearts and Rangers tend to be the most unpleasant, vile, obnoxious and uneducated supporters in the country, nothing to do with Ireland in any shape or form.

[LancsHibs]

:faf:Royal Wedding Flags. I thought the only people getting excited about the royal wedding were elderly housewives in the 'home counties', but no, it seems that Gorgie Loyal are getting all misty eyed also. Maybe they could all get together bake a cake and have a right good old street party on the big day!:yamlaugh:

[HibeeEmma]

I saw the flag and was cringing for them

That goes without saying.

[Bad Martini]

****ing hell. They cannot outdo even themselves with a shoddy flag windup and make themselves look stupid. BiChrist, lest we forget:

1) Their owner featuring on Youtube, skelping their first team players in the boat and laughing about it in front of millions...
2) Their owner seriously aspiring to split the old firm regularly, dominate the SPL, move into the Champions League big money and all the while operating from a stadium which is TOO SMALL for European Competition
3) The chat aboot a 5* hotel under the bus shelter :faf:
4) The Brazilian World Cup stars who are STILL on-****ing-route to the bus shelter?
5) Picking teams by faxes, not paying yer players wages even though you OWN a bank and being booted of the cooncil pitch cause you couldnae get a whip roond to cover yer pitches for the day
6) The "beautiful people" advertising campaign
7) Stupid looking ****ing Russian hats
8) Sacking their best manager in years whilst top of the league then losing to an off-form Hibs at Easter Road soon after
9) 400,000 fans worldwide...
10)And whilst not recent, Albert Kidd. :na na:

The list is endless. :faf:

GLORY GLORY.

I've just taken a look as an anonymous member at the Gorgie Loyal forum, they're pretty much lowlife, lot's of Union flags, Northern Irish flags, they seem to think that since the club as founded by Catholics back in 1875, we must be like Celtic, and thus they must behave like a bunch of Rangers fans, as that sort of behaviour is what makes you a Jambo, and not a mini-Hun.

Here is a sample of the type of people who exist on such a forum - http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3540/****s2.jpg (http://img269.imageshack.us/i/****s2.jpg/)

The thread this was taken from was about the Royal Wedding in case you are wondering.

[Part/Time Supporter]

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/the_liquidator_photos/royalwedding.jpg

Was it a case of:

A) that was the only Union flag the wee fanny could find?

or

B) he actually thought that anyone else would give a **** about the Royal wedding?

Either way it's hilariously pitiful.

Where Rangers not founded by 3 scots and an Ulster man though? I may be wrong.

[Vini1875]

As flags go, there seemed to be a step up or down depending on your point of view of flags with political or religious connotations. It's a long time since I saw a Papal Flag and or a Starry Plough at ER, but both were present at the weekend. I haven't seen UDA or UVF flags in the hearts end, but would not be surprised to see them in the future. How long before rebel songs come back?

I wonder why the guy with the Starry Plough was escorted out. Anyone know if it was purely for the flag. Doubt too many folk in the hearts end would know what it was to be offended by it.

Was the Vatican flag in the lower West Stand near to the Hearts end? I saw the yellow and white part of a flag that I thought was an Irish tricolour with a dodgy shade of orange and I just assumed that the green part was hidden.

I'm not bothered with what the Hearts fans do, that's their problem, but I really thought we were better than that. Absolutely no place for that kind of nonsense at Easter Road.

I was concerned about this kind of thing creeping back into our support, particularly during derbies. The Hearts support seem to be getting worse with regards to their songs and flags and I'm not surprised that some of our fans seem to be rising to the bait and reacting to it with songs and flags of our own.

I'm not in favour of banning national flags at Easter Road, and I believe that the flag of the Vatican City would fall into that category, but it's not something that I think is appropriate at Easter Road.

I would also have thought that genuine Roman Catholics would be annoyed that the Papal flag was being used in such a provocative manner to antagonise people.

I think its lovely to see football fans celebrating the romance and excitement towards a jolly good wedding.

Since my Aunty Doris is getting married to 'soon to be Uncle' Keith (who is from the Isle of Man) I plan to wave the IofM national flag with their pictures on it at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Who says romance is dead at football? :aok:

No justification for a Vatican flag in the Hibs support. Can't say I've ever seen one before either even in the days when certain songs were not unknown at ER.

There are a few Hibees who post on here you can DEFINITELY rule out as the ones with it though :wink:

[Hibercelona]

They brought Union Jacks, we brought tri-colours. I'm always embarassed to see either being waved around at derbies. There's just no need for it at all. And before some smart erse posts "But Hibs have Irish origin"..... we don't usually bring tri-colours to ER, so why against these muppets?

Lets not have another flag debate. It's all a load of kack.

[joe breezy]

Just caught the end of this thread, load of tosh all these flags n that. Ironically when I was at school I remember the Hibbies of Craigmount fighting the Jambos of St Augustines on Friday afternoons.
I think we should get a big Hibs atheist flag.

Yep seems like a contest by no doubt some young folk who have never had a bird before trying to outdo each other on how extreme they can get. Plonkers on both sides.

Don't be too sure. Any Orangeman would know it right away. It's an accepted and common Republican symbol in NI, which is probably why the guy who had it was escorted out of the ground.

Hibs play in green and white - so we fill the home stands with green and white. Not blue and white, not yellow and white, not flags with religious or political connotations, just football banners in the team colours.

Or is that too difficult for the morons to understand?

As a life long Republican ( I dont mean Irish Republican ) I find this deeply offensive. This flag was obviously brought to ER to wind me up personally.

[Dashing Bob S]

The royal wedding flag is quite funny, in a really pathetic way. It's things like that which give people the (utterly false) impression that all Yams are irredeemably sad, lacking, wanting, miserable and completely insignificant self-hating, forelock-tugging imbeciles.











I say utterly false, as this commonly-held view totally misrepresents the host of vile bigots and paedophilles in their midst.
