    City flag spotted at Croatia-Switzerland

    Whilst waiting for her beloved Ingerlund to take the field later, Mrs PP has just drawn my attention to a tricolour with "Cork City" emblazoned across it at the above match. It's on the left-hand side as the Swiss 'keeper looks up the field (first half) and level with the edge of his penalty area.

    You biys get everywhere!

    Same one was in Amsterdam last weekend

    During the Croatia game it was specifically mentioned on BBC Radio 5
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    That same City flag is currently on display at the Sweden game. There's probably a lot of Malmo fans at the game or watching it on TV so it'd be interesting to see if they notice it.

    btw, they were just showing some of the Swedish women in the crowd before the game. I'm looking forward to Malmo!!
    Champions!

    John Creedon mentioned the City during his Radio 1 programme today. Someone e-mailed him to say that it was a City supporter living in Stockholm. Some guy from up the country said that it was definetly Celtic supporters as there was 2 Celtic players playing in last nights game Petrov and Laarsen. (This was before John C found out that the flag had been at the Swiss match on Sunday). John only laughed at this suggestion and said no way were they Celtic supporters but were definetly part of the Rebel Army lost on their way to Malmo

    PS ALso can be seen now at the Latvia v Czech game

    Anyone want to have a guess at the number of times this flag will have appeared at Euro 2004 games before the end of the tournament?

    I'll go 10 for starters

    Course he asked that question - he works for RTE. How would they know the league was on?
