I was thinking of making a simple banner or getting a nice one done up properly by a professional and I thought it would be interesting to have a thread with everyone contributing pictures of their flags and banners from all over the Eircom League.
Here's one. It isn't mine but I came up with the design, at least I think I did.

Who has the biggest flag in the league?
Who has the best? The wittiest?
Nice banner. Did you have that one at Finn Park last night?
I think it was pats had it at a game verus shamrock rovers a few seasons back; "this is not a halting site"
pats two stick:"we're on drugs and we're better then you"
Another Pats one "IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU'RE NOT FROM CORK"
It belongs to another lad. I'm sure he had it there ya. I couldn't make the game myself.Quote:

We had one in Galway last year - "Cryptosporidium, obey your thirst"
The one on the left, "BD Girls, Always Ultra".
And of course...
Danger Mouse!
Two Bohs ones i see regularly at games - the "Perverts of Society" one, and the "Blitzkrieg Bohs" one
The Perverts Of Society one is a BSC flag,isnt it, although in its latest reincarnation they've removed "BSC" from it.
There was 20' flag in Terryland that had the words "Never Send A Boy On A Man's Job". I haven't seen it in a while. Perhaps there's a photo of it somewhere?
Also, Sandro Solinas, an Italian GUFC fan who runs an unofficial GUFC website gave me an Italian flag with a GUFC crest on it plus the words "FORZA RAGAZZI" on it. I have no idea what it means.
Forza Ragazzi is an Italian football chant. It basically means "come on lads!" afaik.Quote:

Placing a Galway Utd FC crest within an Italian tricolour shows identity between the Italian Republic and the Football Club of Galway United.Quote:

Was there any other clues as to the sexuality of the previous owner?
It literally means "force boys" but as I said it's a common chant in Italy.Quote:

Your right, 'Come on lads' is an excellent translation of "Forza Ragazzi" because it's common in English and French " Allez!....".Quote:

Some Man Utd lad has flag like that for years and it was probable done before him too.Quote:
