Proctor, are you willing to be the first person on this thread to explain what is offensive about a Palestinian flag?
As for football being about escapism and politics being left at the turnstyle - who are you to decide those things?
By the way, EVERYTHING is political.
Proctor is right about the conflict, though the Western establishment chooses to side with Israel to a greater degree. Such is our built in fear and distrust of Islam.
John has a long standing history of radical protest and, by golly, he chose the right place to get column inches. Right or wrong, he shows that we, the people, care about the people of Gaza and as such has served his purpose.
If the OF didnt have such a vested interest in keeping alive the conflicts over Irish sovereignty, all thise flags would have been burned a long time ago and the neanderthals waving them, expelled for ever. As it stands, rules or no rules, our chicken **** stewarding policy is complicit in maintaining that divide.
