They did not want it blocking the sponsors. They feel they have paid good money and dont want it to be bloacked by Irish flags. make of that what you will.
I tried to hang my 3 but some Gaa steward stopped me said there was no flags allowed despite the welsh end being covered in them.

In Trap we trust
I know that but I wasnt covering any signs.I have been all over the world and it was the 1st time I couldnt hang my flags.
Yeah that was wrong so. Some guys got to get theres up, not sure how they did, They should have put a loads of them behind the goal also.

It wasn't the same without all our tricolours and definately detracted from the spectacle. Also it could be the fact the seats under the various tiers are quite close to the roof so any flag draped over the edges would probably block the views underneath. No problem if it blocked the premium levels IMHO.
well why not let us hang them down the canal end on the ground or empty seats?
Due to a combination of circumstances I only got into the ground (Lower Davin Section 319) at 3.00 pm. I had no time to hang up the Foot.ie flag but managed to unfurl it twice and go over the fans back to the top of the fans. (just before the match started and as the teams came out at for the second half).
Many of the "fans" had no idea what was happening but I did a reccie after the match and would be hopeful that it will be hanging (or placed) somewhere at that end on Wednesday (dont want to give details in case it's copped)
The lack of the traditional flags hanging was another contributory factor to the lack of atmosphereand is something that should be brought to the attention of the FAI. I had actually contacted them about this before the match but (surprise surprise) I'm still waiting for a response.

What pity a lot more couldnt get their flags hung up...
How did the idiot with the tricolour with CHELSEA daubed on it manage to get that up, on the davin stand towards the cusasck side.
Someone should have ripped it down.
The FAI had to take the gaaah stewards as part of the deal. Do they have flags and banners at GAA matches?
dont know Gary but i had 3 and ill i saw hanging was about 10 when there is usually tons of them.

Several posters in a few threads have torn into this individual. I'm not sure I see why.How did the idiot with the tricolour with CHELSEA daubed on it manage to get that up, on the davin stand towards the cusasck side.

If he's just some switcher from say Dublin, Limerick or Cork who hid his black and gold Cantona shirt in the bottom of an Oxfam donation bag when Abramovich arrived ...well then he's just a tosser and is to be pitied more than despised.
But if he's an actual Chelsea supporter who treks over to Dublin for the games ...well boola fcukin bás to him as far as I'm concerned.

I'll avoid stereotyping:
Flags at GAA matches are, usually, waved after every score. Obviously this isn't the way at footie matches. Seems the differences weren't ironed out with Croke Park/stewards beforehand.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
So obviously flags on a stick are OK then but you won't get the big ones in with UEFA rules. Presumably they don't have banners at games then as there should have been no issue hanging banners on saturday once they didn't block hoardings. It is normally flags on a stick at rugby too.
Not sure which is worse. You suggest the first for the obvious stupidity involved but the second is just as weird to me. Good luck to him if he likes Chelsea but putting the name of something he likes on a tricolour and bringing it to an Ireland game is pointless. What next, people waving Ireland flags with

On closer inspection, I can see that you wished DEATH upon the Chelsea fan
A bit harsh, but on reflection, probably a fair comment.

For Wednesday,try getting some of the flags on the big wide bit behind the goals lads.
