Ulloa flag

[Commander]

I cant believe the morons who think the flag of Argentina would be seen as a disgrace, I never fought in the Falklands war but have fought in the most recent campaigns in the middle east. The nationality of the player and the flag should not stop this idea going into print.

Its about time people grew up, unless you were actually involved in the Falklands then shut-up.

And THAT should be the end of the thread.

An Argy Flag, a step too far.

 

[Was not Was]

The Argentine government were no better, either...

Boom, tish!

He's here all week.

 

[Philzo-93]

And I'm feeling...GLAD ULLOA!

 

[The Large One]

Not really a joking matter though, is it? Think of those that served, those that died or were injured, the loss to wives, children, parents etc. Think how they would feel about it. If you still think it's a good idea, go ahead, wave your silly flag and shame on you.

Nothing to feel ashamed of.

If you hate Argentina and all it stands for, I assume you don't welcome Ulloa (nor Tano) to the club? That's the leap you've made.

I appreciate Argentina for being a democracy with its own culture, heritage and flag. Who are you to deny them that? When I think of Argentina, I think of good wine, good beef and good footballers - and a silly claim on some islands - and would take Commander's word that it's a fine country to visit.

Ulloa woooaaahh
Ulloa woooaaahh
He spearheads our attack
He wants the Falklands back

I'd willingly join in with this song-top
stuff!

As you say, you never fought in the Falklands. It has no comparison to the the middle-east because in this case British territory was invaded. Respect for serving as you have, but I don't think it gives your opinion on this matter any extra weight. Many people join the services for many different reasons, it doesn' make them experts on all conflicts or give them the right to call people morons who have a different opinion. The Falklands Conflict was fought on British soil, British servicemens lives were needlessly cut short, and some MORONS wouldn't feel comfortable waving the flag of the country responsible, that still lays claim to the islands and that we are, technically at least, still at war with

You always get one that wants to spoil a perfectly good argument with facts! Fair play, they surrendered in battle but the haven't surrendered their claim on the islands.

So we can't have flags from Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Turkey, Hungary, South Africa, Egypt or Russia either then?

 

[Albumen]

Only the English could have a problem with a whole countries flag just because we 'own' 0.01% of it's population on a remote island. Unbelievable. The Empire is over, don't being it into our stadium.

How would you feel if Ulloa was draped in his countires flag after scoring the winning goal in the play off final? Boo him? Jesus.

 

[SeagullinExile]

It's a tough ask.

Love Ullao but not super comfy with the flag, in both political and footballing terms.

Ullao on The Martlets, perhaps?

Whats wrong with the Argentinian flag? You'll happily have a player but not the flag? We did steal the islands after all...give em back i say.

Can i ask where you got the impression that we 'stole' the falklands?

Hook line and fooking sinker!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I think we can safely conclude that plenty of people would be quite happy to wave the flag in support of a particular player, and there are a few objectors. Each to their own.

Those who want to, wave your flags. Those who don't....don't. No need to argue about it.

That's the Leap you have made. Read my post #91 smart-arse.

Yes that makes sense, read some history books you fool.

I refer the honourable gentleman to post #91. We are not in a current dispute over British Territory with any of the countries you mention.
