Dylan-Saints Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 As some of you may be aware at Tynecastle a few members of our support put a Union Jack flag up.It is a plain Blue Union Jack with 'St Johnstone' written along it.I believe this flag should not be seen at games again as it just takes us down to Old Firm standards.Saints are a SCOTTISH club and not a British club.The idiot who made this flag should be ashamed of himself for bringing the standards of the club down.Rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if a saintee see's himself as British, you see yourself as scottish, would you object if someone flew any other flag done in a similar way. We're all saintees and that's what matters!

Paul N Shark Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't have a problem with the flag as there is no RED in it, Celtic fans used to have a green white and orange one in the 80,s which is the ultimate piss take , and Hibs fans have a two shades of green and white one.

If you don't like the flag then take it down yourself or tell said "idiot" your opinions of him. Good luck on both fronts. Alternatively, stick your see you jimmy hat on and only attend scotland games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawman Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 To me there is nothing more cringe worthy then when folks sing Flower of Scotland against Rangers. Plays right in to there hands and a song that has nothing to do with Saints. I ve nothing against the song but keep it for Scotland games. Not everyone that supports Saints is an avid Scotland fan or even Scottish for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulfulsaint Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Saints are a Scottish and British club. . ..are they? I must have missed that meeting. We registered to join the equivelant of the SFA in 1884 and have throughout our history been registered as a Scottish club via what is an independently constituted national association, affiliated to UEFA and FIFA. To my knowledge have never joined a British football association, although one of our former captains (Ron McKinven) briefly represented 'Britain' at the Olympics. He did so as an amateur and not as a professionally registered SJFC player. Every single piece of recorded evidence through licence, registration and contracted law-of-the-land indicates that St Johnstone are a Scottish club ......So don't use this forum to promote your personal political beliefs whilst pretending they are 'facts'. Back to your diddy Millwall forums (or Bristol Rovers or Bath Spa or whatever it is ) :) Next. Edited May 31, 2012 by soulfulsaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgour Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Not bothered about the flag.It wouldnt have been my choice but the fact the guy got off his a*se and spent some dosh to show his love of our club has some merit.Had it been a union flag and not as described I would have been a lot less impressed.

Jimmy Wallace Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I haven't seen the flag but I don't think I'd be that impressed if I did, but that's a personal view. In the late 80s the MBS had a full on union jack. That was upsetting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to your diddy Millwall forums (or Bristol Rovers or Bath Spa or whatever it is ) :) As for the flag I told the guy at Parkhead I didn't like it but its personal taste not a massive scandal and certainly wouldn't fall out about it. Next. I'd say that by being a scottish registered club we are by default a British club. If it was a standard union flag that was being flown I'd maybe understand a little better due to the connotations in the context of Scottish football, but it's an all blue union flag in the shade of SJ blue. You'd think it was the Swastika based on the revulsion it causes some. When you spoke to the man who owned it did he provide any sort of explanation for it?

onejohnbrogan Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 HONESTLY -some people have too much time on their hands - is Jeremy Kyle not on tv today. Every person who attends any match has a right to display whatever he/she wants too (as long as its not offensive) And lets face it Scottish/British is just the same, we are and always will be ruled by Westminster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul N Shark Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Fair play mate, your flag might not be to everyone's taste but at least you put your hand in your pocket, ps. you can get a decent sized flag from Barmy flags for about £ 100.

Here we are, another bullying post against someone expressing an opinion on the forum. He's as entitled to make his point as the guy is to fly his flag.
