I can't believe I'm gonna type this, but for once I agree with Knocknagoney Mike.
I don't be offended by either of the "unrepresentative" flegs, but just prefer the alternatives as more technically "correct"
I certainly have no objection to the Irish tricolour at Lansdowne, as it's the fleg of that country so if they want to fly it, that's up to them, but as a symbol of the rugby team and all its supporters, it doesn't work.
2nd person to say that. Maybe he's sober
Have to say, despite my stated opinion on much of the above, I'm not prepared to take advice on any of it from some ill mannered Jackeen

Don't be ridiculous Merv.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right
Anyone who gives a flyingfeck needs to look at themselves. I couldn’t care if someone chooses to fly a swastika flag emblazoned with Jimmy Saville and Gary Glitter’s coupon’s. Why would I need to be offended? Life is too short.
