Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 really? i find your dragon offensive because dragons are scary, please take it down Bit of a difference there. The dragon represents Wales just like the St. Georges cross represents England. The Union flag is meant to represent all of the home nations. It doesn't represent my country as it should, that's why it offends me. I'm in agreement about being able to fly the St. Georges cross in England, you should be able to fly it whenever & wherever you want without recourse or comment. Although why you guys want to fly a cross dedicated to a Turkish martyr who never even set foot in England & based on ancient French heraldry is beyond this simple Welshman.. :laugh: St George was a brave Roman soldier who protested against the Romans' torture of Christians and died for his beliefs. The popularity of St George in England stems from the time of the early Crusades when it is said that the Normans saw him in a vision and were victorious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 and like i said i'd never call myself british over English but to be genuinely offended by that is quite sad OK time! I'm not genuinely offended by the Union flag, more irked that my country isn't represented in the flag of our great (or once great!) United Kingdom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) we dont have the northern irish flag on it or the isle of mans flag or the isle of wight flag just the 2 major players 1. The Isle of man isn't part of the union, it's a crown protectorate. 2. The cross of St. Patrick is represented on the union flag. You're right, but I think you're being a bit childish. No matter what it's made up of, it's a flag to represent all of us as far as I'm concerned. If ever we go to war, we all fight side by side and that's the flag we fight under. Unity Brother lol.

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 you'd never see it the other way because of the amount of jealous bile produced by 99% of scottish 99% oh your quite wrong.think you will find a good number of scottis and lads from northern ireland support england. thats the prob the ant english bile you rerer to are very much the minrity.oh and you do more than your fair share of spouting bile against the scots. fortunaetly you are also in the minority,as most english lads i know are pretty sound guys.

Na to be serious mate i wouldn't wear an england top even if someone paid me and i would think that the reverse would be the same, no harm in that. I like the rivalry and its all good...miss the "auld enemy" games with a passion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
