Celtic had a flag day at the recent old firm game. Included was a 'Justice for the 96' banner, supporting those who lost their lives at hillsborough. I think it would be a nice gesture to get this banner on loan for the match v Wales on Saturday. It would look well and would show solidarity for the 96. YNWA
The name of the celtic supporters group who owns the banner is the 'Jungle Bhoys'
It would make more sense to make our own surely rather than borrow theirs. We are Ireland and not Celtic.
Whilst I applaud the intention ( and the cause )....I don't think it would appropriate / relevant for Saturday's game
Yeah I agree with that.

Yeah, I can't see any link between Saturdays game and that flag. I have nothing against the sentiment, but it has nothing to do with us.
Can't see what it has to do with Celtic either but it definitely has nothing to do with us or the occasion on Saturday and IMO cheapens the cause. Who would you be trying to influence, Mary McAleese:confused: Fran Gavin:confused:Quote:

yeah not appropriate for saturday at all!!
No this shows support for the scouscers and it was clearly their fault that this happened
All well made points and to be honest I now don't see the point myself really in parading this flag. Not meant to be political just to show some solidarity.Quote:

Does anyone know if flags can even be hung as easily in croker as they were in Landsdowne? Theres a lot of advertising
The banner is fantastic but as a LFC fan who knew someone who died in Hillsborough and many who were present on that awful day, I would prefer if the banner was not displayed.
Please dont take this as an insult.
Also the justice campaign has nothing to do with attracting fans to Liverpool football club, like some people here seem to think, it is solely a campaign for justice for those innocent people who went to watch a football game and died in the Leppings Lane End of the ground! This could have happened to any club (including your club) given the state of the grounds in times gone by. Some of the people involved in the campaign no longer even attend games.
What has any of this got to do with the Ireland -v- Wales game? :confused:
