this flag used to go to all the games. haven't seen it at any games apart from county. does anyone know who owns it?

Unfortunately the picture was 'snapped' about thirty seconds too early before it was fully unfurled to reveal the word 'Thistle' below!

The flag was originally owned by Doresboy (first pic below), not sure if it is still him who has it as I seem to recall him offering it up for someone to take to away games a few years later ..... I actually took that picture on 19th October 2002 at Recreation Park in Alloa !!!

 

PS - no thistle mentioned ....... (as seen in second pic with Mantis/Naelifts)

 

There's a few crackers from that day .... Govan Jaggie, Bronson and CaleyD all looking a lot younger, Uncle Albert looking the same age, and even Wanderer and the elusive Donview !!! Those were the days   

 

 

 

 

 

" elusive Donview"  He appeared in London last week!  You can imagine our shock.

I would quite happily take it to some away games this season. is the guy who owns it on here?

Is that the last time Naelifts was at a game? 

Never far away Roger!! ;-)

It's a brilliant flag.

 

I remember standing waiting for my mates outside Firhill for the 2002 Scottish Cup quarter final when loads of our fans came round with it unfurled, singing.  Shivers, etc

I think Bronson still has this flag and has unfurled it at many games.  The last time was at the semi final last season

when he was not allowed to take it into the Hibs ground,  We had one right set to with the stewards ans the police

were eventually called in.  In the end we lost the argument in  that the flag was not marked as being "Fire Retardant"

or whatever and was considered a health and safety risk,  So it has not been displayed since.

If anybody wants my flag then it can go to a worthy cause - I am too feckin old - or perhaps stay in the bar too long to be bothered with it - it is deffo fire retardant as I have set it on fire an weed on it and it goes out.

I recall Mikey Diamond being refused entry into St Johnstone two seasons ago, because the Steward said his flag wasn't marked fire retardant.   Mikey went round to the ticket office, complained (I don't think they understood a word he said) and the outcome was that he was allowed in, with his flag.    Hurray for Mikey - wouldn't let any steward stop him and his flag.

The whole not marked "fire retardant" argument is quite laughable.  Where's the risk of ignition coming from in this day and age when smoking is banned from stadia?  How many people own clothing, hats & scarves that are worn to football that are marked "fire retardant"?

 

The next time anyone is challenged on taking a flag into a ground on the basis of it not being marked "fire retardant", start stripping off yer clothes and showing them the labels.....see how far you get before the point sinks in!

Ah more entertainment Strippers now eh

Remembering to take it is always a start!

It'll need to be fire retardant in case one of the flares gets caught up in it.  And as we are no longer allowed to take bottles of water in with us there'll be nothing to douse the flames. 

IHE might volunteer..............he says he has experience...........

The flag has been well travelled and has appeared at most grounds in scotland since I've had it. It's been up at every premier league ground including park head and ibrox.

Slightly off topic but is there anywhere on the website where there are photographs of all the various flags that have followed (and in some cases still do) follow ICT around? Just curious ;-)
