My Trip to Prague..(Long)

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

How can you say that mate as football is a game where we can follow many teams as you like as long as they don't face you :D
I don't see the flag but i can just imagine how it would look
I myself support Rangers & many Gooners on ere are Celtic so we all hav that 2nd team around as football i love so much i take up watching other teams play whenever i can either on the telly or going to them
You may well say to me that i'm no real Gooner for likeing another club & that Arsenal should be the only thing in my life, no it sadly ain't, even though i have everything in my roon to do with Arsenal & talk to them non stop we do have a choice in likeing another team & it can feature on any flag on away days as long as the cannon or the word Arsenal is along with it

on the subject of the flag I didnt really have a problem with what it meant but seeing a Rangers flag at an arsenal game did seem weird and more importantly the bastard was in my way!!

I'm English with part Irish in me & i don't have no problem what teams people support as it's there own choice
You are one of many Celtic Gooners & i don't have a problem what flag is bought into the Emirates stadium or anywhere else when Arsenal play because as you said we are Arsenal fans & thats what matters
I couldn't give a toss who's crest stands next to Arsenal, noether the flag etc
Thats why the flag ban should be lifted

Part of the point being when you go to an arsenal match you dont take an layton orient flag with you do you?
