    Eirigi Flag causes Mayhem in Windsor

    Was listening to the Radio last night and seemingly the Polish fans in Windsor unfurled an Eirigi flag during the game which caused rioting inside the stadium.

    This is what Gregory Campbell said.

    Northern Ireland Sports Minister Gregory Campbell, who was at the game, told BBC News one confrontation began after some Polish supporters unfurled a republican flag.

    He said: "There were some Polish fans who introduced one of the Irish republican flags, that are supportive of the group that killed the soldiers and the policeman a few weeks ago, which obviously then led to even more tension.

    Jaysus that would cause mayhem in the North if all the Poles turn out to be Nationalists in the future.

    Imagine the outcry in the N.I. fans started displaying swastikas to taunt the POles.

    Hardly comparable, the swastika is the symbol of the Nazis, which was responsible for mass murder.

    Eirigi is a protest group.

    It wouldn't have much of an impact on the political-futue of the Six Counties, as compared to us, only a trickle (maybe 16,000?) Accession state nationals have gone there. I have no time for Eirigi, mind.

    A protest group that if they had their way would wipe out Northern Ireland. The nazi threat is history. The threat from retarded republicans is still very much alive as we have seen in recent weeks.

    Not the same thing. The Poles were given the flag by Eirigi scumbags but it is unlikely they understood the meaning of it. I had similar pranks played on me when I went to Poland first. Even if they had that is hardly a reaon for the neanderthal behaviour from the Northern Ireland support.

    Always somebody else to blame. I take it the Poles sprayed 'Boruc R.I.P.' It was the Éirígí flag what started it.
