Glentoran fans claim police in the Irish Republic stopped a fan putting up a Northern Ireland flag and that this provoked disturances at a match in Dublin. Five fans were arrested.
As it's common for away fans to put up such flags, this incident needs to be investigated and a report published. People in Northern Ireland already have to put up with GAA clubs making political statements by flying the flag of the RoI and playing the RoI anthem before games. And if it's not the GAA, the rugby authorities do their best to ignore that there are two countries that make up the Ireland rugby team.
Despite the disgraceful political behaviour of some Nationalists when it comes to sport, the only positive from a Unionist perspective is that it shows people what Nationalists mean when they say they want to accommodate Unionists in a 32 county structure i.e. they'll be really nice to Unionists provided they stop being Unionists!
