What do ye guys think of the Irish flags burning on top of the bonfires?
Its not really fair as many Derry City fans are not happy!
I find it funny, I guess if thats what they really want to do then thats that.
But I would imagine if i had a bonfire at the back of the house and had a union jack on the top of it I would imagine I would be getting a call from the local garda.
Is there a law against burning national flags? Isnt there one in America?
tossers will be tossers is my viewpoint on it
I can't wait for the glorious 12th of July! Dundalk vs. Finn Harps - it's going to be great!
The law is its illegal to burn the American flag i think so in the North it would be the official flag and they could burn the tri-colour awayOriginally Posted by bennocelt

it very much is not, flag burning is protected under freedom of speech laws in the US.
Aye you free staters don't know what your missing out on
Its not really any sort of culture is it burning flags and effigies of religious leaders, mind you there is a Nationalist bonfire night in August I think it is to comemerate the introduction of Internment its nowhere near as big though!
Interesting story that I came accross the other day about the BNP planning to recruit at parades during the 12th!! I'd say they will probably find a few idiots willing to buy into their racist rhetoric.

shocking attitude tbh.
hopefully tongue in cheek
Try joining the rest of us on the dole Dodge, everyday is a potential 12th of July
Is that where your Handle originates from then?
Not tongue in cheek at all. I'd lick the queen's arse if it meant I got an extra weeks holidays
shocking attitude tbh.
hopefully tongue in cheek
Mind you I'd probably need more than that

Mr Kennedy, the UUP deputy leader, told the assembly the (BNP) party was not welcome. "I have said to them that this isn't the kind of imported hate-mongering that we want or need in Northern Ireland."
And who says it's only the Americans who don't do irony.
Cogito ergo Bohs
It commemorates an important event (or sequence of them) in Irish history for starters.how so
It'd be a handy way to "take back the 12th" from the uber-prods for another.
...and as Dodge said -sure it's a day off ...in July.

That'd be like Saudi Arabia importing oil.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Don't think they'll have got much change out of the members of the Loyal Orange Lodge of Togo that took place in the demonstrations tho.
The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
I'd be somewhat in favour of that. It's not like everyone would be forced to go to a parade (more likely we'd all go to the sea-side), but it would be a harmless way of showing a bit of respect for the traditions of the other side, which would go along with LR's other post:
Yep, take the sting out of it.
Seems to have gone off brilliantly peacefully. A Good Thing.
Because if Gabriel doesn't rollerblade to the Chelsea Piers then the terrorists have truly won.
