They’ll end up banning all flags with political statements.

Good luck to whoever has to define what constitutes a political statement and what doesn’t.

Neathie is right earlier in the thread, unfortunately this is probably a topic which will escalate now and turn nasty pretty quickly.

I was near where it all kicked off and I was quite shocked to be honest. I haven’t got an opinion either way on the Union Jack, I’ve never been a believer in independent wales but I think with the clusterf*ck of Brexit, current Tory government along with the success of Welsh national football team, a divide has formed and this could just be the beginning.

Hoping I’m wrong.

Just flags with no writing on them then.

Writing is a political statement now?

At the end of the day it's Jacks fighting Jacks over flags, embarrassing...
The team we've got at the moment has got a great chance of going close this season imho and all the focus at the moment is about a bunch of uneducated morons.
Pretty. Shitty. City.

Already is I thought. I know a few Welsh Independence flags have already been.

Got a feeling that this is just the start of something which is going to turn pretty nasty, pretty quickly.

Somehow i'm not surprised that this has happened not too long after the "Britain First" van minced by the stadium droning its strange choice in music. Flags aren't the issue it is the manner in which they are worn that can be divisive.
