TIFO flags banned from Setanta games

[Éanna]

The club genuinely was told by the FAI, Declan McCluskey or yer man McGlue I think that the poles weren't allowed under safety regulations, personally I don't see why but they were told that, it's not about City and I agree they should be allowed.

McGlue? He's the same fella who actually INSPECTS the flagpoles when they're dropped in to landsdowne before intertnational games This just gets more ridiculous by the minute

Aren't those Tifo flag poles are fairly expensive & a lot of hassle to replace?

Last time I checked hooligans didn't carry tifo flags.

If its good enough that each club can decide if National Flags are displayed at their ground then surely good enough that they also decide the tifo flag pole issue.
