Went to the Milan Expo yesterday to see what everyone was talking about. Well – firstly – look at our flag. The heart sinks. Don’t understand how Ireland could have accepted this is how our flag was represented.
…Went into the Ireland area – We have such a great message and it was just lost – there were typos in the presentation…it was so flat and unimaginative and disappointing. And then Bono arrived. I wondered why I spotted Simon Coveney and his dept. peeps of a Sunday at the Expo…
FIGHT!

What, exactly, is wrong with the flag?
It’s blurry and out of focus.
The flag is always landscape format not portrait. The stripes should be horizontal in this format. This is equivalent to the German or Austrian flags in Irish colours rather. Imagine taking the Union flag or US flag and stretching it vertically.
That’s all well and good but what was the orientation of the flags of other nations?
I thought we don’t discriminate against different orientation anymore?
The flag doesn’t bother me that much, and I don’t imagine it would have bothered too many people, tbh.
This picture is as unfocused as the point of this post
What the fark is wrong with the flag?
Petty nitpicking. Who gives a poo which way the flag is flying? Christ! Get a life
+1, you’re in Milan, Anon; dry your eyes, and go and eat some ossobusco or something.
what is your “great” message? we will launder your tax money with our soft touch? we exploit and kill animals? we’ll let you land your warplanes for pay your fees? We saddle our citizens with huge tax burdens so your profits won’t be affected? We can’t take a pic in focus for love or money?
blah blah blah i saw bono – thats all i heard.
Other flags at this event look pretty similar: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/exfo-flags-milan-expo-vittorio-emanuele-avenue-45239219.jpg
Not sure what the issue is here…..
Anon (if that is your real name) should get out more. It’s perfectly normal for a flag to be printed on a banner like this.
will declare things like that an act of war against Ireland
