[Frutos]

BBC News - London 2012: North Koreans walk off after flag row

Whoops...

 

[culvers]

Holy Shet! Getting more like Twenty Twelve everyday.

Funny and bad but why is football in the Olympics anyway

I think it always has been in the Olympics! It's a proper sport, the question should be, why is tennis/beach volleyball/bmx in the Olympics?

Balls up. Day one. Poor.

 

[forrest]

One big cock up.

One of the most totalitarian states in the world being embarassed over a flag - people should be more worried about their nuclear programme, their human rights record and the thousands of their own people who are starving than upsetting a few brain washed indivduals who play sport.

That is hilarious

Wait till Kazakhstan win a medal and they whack on Borat's version of the anthem (as has happened before)

 

[HastingsSeagull]

lol

Most countries would have pointed it out then just got on with things,... North Korea are bound to be pre-occupied with the detail as a nice distraction from their overt nuclear threats to all and sundry in SE Asia, their willingness to fund a space and nuclear program when 90% of their population starve on a daily basis,.... they should get over themselves if they think its an important issue, a cockup yes, but then again, it was probably a Scottish operative that did it.... lol.

Could be fun when the South and North Koreans face each other in the table tennis.

Hitting hand grenades over the net?

 

[supaseagull]

If u think DPRNK were pissed off, you should have seen the French team's faces when they just showed a picture of a white flag next to their players!

 

[NickBHAFC18]

So embarrassing haha, and probably the worst two countries to get mixed up...

 

[grubbyhands]

Piss up / Brewery?

 

[Fungus]

Did they have to sing the South Korean national anthem?

Totally, f*** them and their team of robots. I prefer my unthinking automatons to have wires and circuits in them

 

[Lord Bracknell]

How about starting the next Northern Ireland football match with a display of the Republic's flag?

 

[xenophon]

Northern Ireland have been played the Republic's anthem at matches

 

[albion534]

How about starting the next Northern Ireland football match with a display of the Republic's flag?

Or a Scottish flag with an English 1 just to piss them off?

Given that the NI and Sweaties have turned their backs on the UK football teams, hopefully we'll see the union jack without the St Andrew's and St Patrick's bits, go up if we win a medal in the football. It would look something like this:
