I have purchased an Iraqi flag in support of Yaser Kasim - my favourite player.

Should I either,

hold up the Iraqi flag in support of Yaser Kasim

or

Not hold up the Iraqi flag as it might offend.

Any views?

You need to get it in the ground first, but hold the damned thing up otherwise you just purchased an odd blanket for the day.

Firstly, this is a great idea for a new thread.

Secondly, he has about 15 friends & family coming from Iraq to support him with Iraqi flags. Are you Iraqi? If yes, go for it! Be proud of your countryman. If you're not, it's a bit odd IMO.

Paint STFC in white on the red bar on the flag if you want?

If somebody would be offended by something like that, then they deserve to be fucking offended. Fuck 'em.

Why would anyone be offended by an Iraqi flag? As others have said, might seem a bit odd to some (esp if they don't recognise the flag/realise Kasim is Iraqi) but offended?

There were Iraqi flags at both semi final games so don't see what the issue is

I think it's a great recognition for a player who has proved his worth and got better and better.  Good on you!

Did it come with a fire certificate? Or has a label to say fire retardant. If neither of those, it probably wont get in.

They prefer to be called the flammable challenged.

Anyone who gets offended by someone raising the flag of his or her country needs a kick up the arse. Unfortunately these people are all too common.

If US flags were fire-retardant, that'd deny thousands of photo opportunities around the world.
