Cork Nazis fly Confederate flag at GAA matches, local pols say no political intent

[Deleted member 48908]

Not a country on earth carries the purple and white.

Do you think they're trying to tell ye something?

That they're not worthy. That we are their betters.

But anyone who goes to a GAA match involving Cork knows they are not part of any political statement etc , just a tradition of Cork fans using every and any flag that just happens to have Red and White as part of the colour.

So swastika flags would be acceptable?

Cork is great!

 

[LISTOWEL MAN]

Nazi in cork ?

Or the time when the visiting Taiwanese students were tricked into forking over €160 each, thinking full blown Nazi regalia was de rigueur for mere club matches (it is not, it is only indicated for Senior county matches)

Not true. It's also a requirement for the ladies, minors and U21 county matches so the regalia can get quite a few outings over the course of the year.
It can also be worn to club matches and even to the pub without seeming out of place.

With all the hysteria about these flags I'm thinking of importing a few for next season.

I predict demand rising sharply.

Simple solution, lifetime ban for future Nazism

Past Nazis will be given an amnesty if they come forward and promise no more Nazi, either at matches, or elsewhere

Cork GAA officers condemn flying of Confederate flag

That's pretty Nazi of you, if I must say so.

I had that thought. However now the GAA are involved I can see them getting confiscated

This is going on 30 years. They should grow up and bin it, but they won't. The GAA should step in, but they won't.

What right have you, a Jackeen soccer supporter, to dictate what the GAA should or should not do?

Every right.

It's a stater discussion, but out.

This is an open discussion forum, we are all entitled to comment on it GAA fans or not, what an idiotic post i must say.

Wait for it.... Epic idiocy in the post

Glenshane4 is a WUM. You just have to have a quick look at his post history to see that.

With so few games to be played, demand should increase. It's a real capital idea.

A lot of Cork men fought for the British Army in WW1, and the Confederacy also. Patrick Clerburne was a Major General in the Southern army.

the point I am making is that Ireland was run from London in 1917, and the Confederates ran the south in the 1860's. They were the "Governments" in charge- for better or worse.

i don't think anyone would disagree with you, (except maybe the better or worse bit), but what's it got to do with Cork fans flying the confederate flag?
