    They’ve had them for a while, I think the political extremists look for a club they can use to expand their views on others. Find a club with a weak fan base unable to remove them…hey presto! Maybe the other fans have had enough.

    They started using the union flag only because it says Jack. Sadly a few of their brain dead followers have used it to try and get themselves the attention they crave.

    It's their thing. We don't do it, so they do.

    There's a little pocket of Nazis in Swansea.

    The City may not have a large Irish republican following but Cardiff itself has a massive connection to The Republic. I’d imagine there are thousands of Cardiffians with Irish heritage.

    Yup, Irish and south west english. The poor Irish came to south wales, Liverpool etc. The ones with a couple of quid went to the states.

    Sure, but I imagine there's plenty with Irish heritage in Swansea

    It just feels like a weird thing for a section of their fans to do because it's bound to piss off a fair few Swansea fans (which it obviously has).

    We're the capital. They can never be that. So they do the opposite. I'd like to think that we're mostly republican, but I have my doubts. Being loyal to our subjugators and especially to a "crown" makes no sense to me.

    Its not so weird when you consider the links they have to the Romani , Tinkers ,Travellers and Gipsy heritage , a lot love to display their brightly coloured flags fluttering above their travelling accommodation .

    I myself have a British Flag proudly shown .

    Nothing wrong with the Union Jack and anyone proud of it unless used for wrong reasons..
    I also have nothing against the travelling community i'm not sure why your having a pop at them for.
    Celtic and Rangers have history of flying the Tri and Union flags but those knuckle draggers down west have not got a clue and just jump on any bandwagon they can to try and gain friends and publicity.
    Swansea city fans really do have a little penis syndrom.
