    Tricolour at England VS Austria?

    Was half watching the game last night in the pub, thought I saw a tricolour behind the goals on the right in the second half?
    Anyone know what that was about?

    I noticed that myself. Probably some sad sack trying to upset the English team.

    Met a big crowd calling themselves 'mayhem brigade, vienna' while over for the slovak/czech game. They had a flag or two.

    Crowd of headers, handing out mini jager's to all and sundry. probably them.

    I spotted it ...it appeared than an English fan tried to cover it over with the St George flag towards end of first half if I remember correctly! That lasted for a while before the St George flag then disappeared!!! They must have had a ruck!!!!

    Hah, I saw the Irish flag there too. Bet he was supporting Austria for the day.

    Was the flag "Mountrath"? It was partly obscured but the last letters were "...trath" I think.

    Obviously the same sort of sad sacks who feel the need to hang a tricolor off their apartment balcony when they're on holidays.
