    Flag and badge

    At Falkirk on Saturday there were two lads down the front right of the away stand with a big flag. It was green and black union jack.

    It intrigued me at the time but was too shy to approach the laddies and ask about how it came about.

    As it happens there's a lad fae the Perth/Dundee area who wears the same design in a lapel badge on his parka.

    I'd like to know more about this - anyone?

    I remember seeing a union jack (greem black and white colours) in the upper west some games last season. It had LIVERPOOL across the middle.

    Is it do do with THESE COLOURS DONT RUN from when Hibs went down south.

    Two bald lads? In there fortys? Front right of the stand as your looking at the pitch? It's AB's flag, goes everywhere with him. They also have a bigger one IIRC..? Then there's the Liverpool ensign, all very confusing. :D

    There is also the green, white and black union jack badges doing the rounds with Capital City Service on them.

    I'll have a tenner that this thread turns into a flag debate

    He posts, and is a well known figure, on here but I'll decline to say who. If he wants to he'll let you know.

    That flag belongs to Andy Blanche and his mates.

    That flag does come from Hibs fans living in Liverpool, doubt you would have seen it in the West last season, but the seasons prior to that, for sure.

    Well I'm a (nearly) bald lad in my fifties and yes - I would say both guys were a goodly bit younger than me.

    Just as well I didn't go and speak to them - would have blotted out the view of a few rows behind us. My a rse is the size of a small country and these lads were none too svelte

    Don't want to start any barney rubble - just wondering about the rationale behind the use of the Flag of the United Kingdom? It's more commonly seen at Tynie and Hunbrox?

    First time I saw this flag was back in the 80's, but it had "Hibs are Cool" across it.

    Remember seeing this in the West a couple of seasons back with 'Liverpool Hibs' on it. Also, the green/white/black union jack is displayed on Dykes 'These Colours Don't Run: Inside the Hibs Capital City Service' book. Was used on the early CCS t-shirts as well.

    Don't have a theory. It's a CCS flag as far as I'm aware.


    And it's Miss N to you.

    Otherwise known as the 'fenian jack' I believe.

    Not a great fan of the flag I have to say but everyone to their own.
