    I thought they loved their Union Jack down the Liberty Stadium?

    I take it some of their lot are a bit fed up with the flag wankers?

    Nothing wrong with being proud of the Union Jack or being part of United Kingdom of Britain, sadly some like to highjack it for political point scoring I guess 🤔

    After all that flag-waving, you left out the Great bit and the Northern Ireland bit. (The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)

    It sounds like they partly took exception to the loyalist slogan on the flag and sounds partly like the flag owner was being a bit of an arse

    That's the thing that baffles me, a union jack isn't exactly my cup of tea but I understand some people feel more British than Welsh etc, but loyalism? That's odd

    Yeah, but its hardly like we have a large Irish nationalist/republican following. Its like they want to be a tinpot Rangers, really strange

    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.

    It's only called a union jack when it's flown at sea..otherwise it's called a union flag

    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.

    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).
