Aberdeen's Cup Final Display

[Frazerbob]

Interesting story doing the rounds up here regarding the display the Aberdeen fans put on at Parkhead. They apparently had to change the image twice before being given permission from the match commander. The theory is that the original "sunburst" image had IRA connotations. How pathetic, especially as we did a similar sunburst image in green, white and gold a couple of years ago.

This says more about the match commander than anything else.

Even Celtic and Sevco fans will be laughing at the over sensitivity.

Probably some weegie who thinks the world ends at Glasgow and the rest of us are as bigoted as them. I assume they were going for a Red Army type theme 12197

Before anyone gets too excited about this and blaming Match Commanders, The Ludge, Little Green/Blue Men, Alex Salmond, et al, please remember this is nothing but speculation on a fans message board.

This is a statement from the design company.....wonderfully named "Dolly Digital Design Studio"

"Banned 'League Cup Final' Display...

The reason this was banned? The Match Commander refused the 'sunburst' as it has IRA connotations. We had to Google that...

This was the second display that was banned. We're keeping banned 'League Cup Final' Display Number One in our hipper for later! But essentially that was banned for the same reason, yet Police Scotland didn't give us this reason first time around..."

Sorry, that puts a different perspective on it. TBF you didn't give those quotes in your OP :wink:
