DP’s new football flag has given me the ick!

[HollyUpNorth]

DP is a big football fan and they have been promoted so he is excited for the new season to start. He goes with a group of 5/6 mates and they always have a flag to take to away matches. To mark their promotion, they’ve ordered a new one.

DP took delivery of it yesterday. It is an England flag with the club badge on it. They have added the text ‘On the charge with Farage’ 😩

Instant ick…am I overreacting!?

He says it’s light hearted and will ‘upset all the right people’ so between them they found the idea hilarious.

Hopefully it doesn’t get in!

Upset all the right people? As in anyone who isn’t a white English thug?

He’s pretty much admitted he wants to upset anyone who isn’t white English. Well done; great choice of Husband.

Do your values align? Because you can have a serious relationship with someone when your values are so different.

As if this is true. OP you need to try harder! Although, if you post a photo I will apologise. And I can spot AI!

Why do people think this isn’t true? Every thread I’ve read has been accused of being fake recently.

I’m just finishing on my lunch break. If I can get it when home I will!

Yep, that’s who’ll he will upset, why is that amusing and giving OP the “ick” is feeble, I’d be rethinking my relationship.

You are underreacting!

I would have told him he’s just made my vagina clamp shut and dry up

Re his comment ‘it will upset all the right people’ how does he feel about the fact it upset you..?

LTB

Oh, I don’t ‘get’ football culture apparently!

Can’t have

It’s exactly the culture that football is trying to stamp out. Your husband and his mates are just racists looking for a reason to hide behind. But there continuing the culture that football is trying to get away from.

There's a tiny part of me that wishes this comes true.

I'll hopefully be safely ensconced in my reasonably safe area, watching the little fuckers on the community FB page bleating on about how they're struggling, and 'this' (whatever it may be) is not what they voted for. MAGA 2.0.

Get him to change the slogan to: "At the match, full of passion, proper proud, to be a gammon!"

Then LTB.

The FA guidlines state

Flags should not contain offensive, discriminatory, or inflammatory messages

Which club does he support?

Burnley, although we don’t live there.

I’m a football fan and this is not football culture, it’s racists culture.
I’ll think of you OP if I see that flag in the crowd on Match of the Day.

It depends on your opinions and politics. Personally, I couldn’t be with someone like that. But presumably you knew how he thought if you’ve been together some time?

I would genuinely end the relationship with someone over that.

Turf Moor has the same rules about flags

As does the Hill Dickinson Stadium in case he goes to away matches.

Why bother proving this to anyone whether they can spot AI or not bully oh for them.
It's tasteless and crass, I would be dropping this idiot.

Not only this, it would be a LTB for me. Seriously.

I can't be bothered going through the whole squad on the website to find out how many aren't English but from the small amount I checked there were 5 so far, I assume he'd like all them gone too?

That would give me a lot more than the ick and the fact that you're with that type of bloke and just sigh about it reflects on you. 🤷🏼 Did you tell him it's disgusting and that Farage is a racist, slimy, wannabe-Trump piece of shit? Or did you go quiet and laugh when he said he wants to upset people. I would never, ever allow such a god awful thing in my house.

I mean it can't be a surprise can it? Thickos like that don't become that way overnight. There must have been comments.

I thought the only place Britain’s could display a Union Jack flag without being considered racist was football !

IMO no issue with flag - Brazilians can flag all they like, Ukrainians can flag, Americans can flag, Ireland can flag etc etc…. Tell me why showing national pride with a flag is racism in UK?

Mini cars - have the flag in tail lights
Tourist shops packed with flags on stuff
etc

Who told you Farage was racist? Why? Is he more racist than Starmer? How?
