Just heard this on the radio:

www.itv.com/news/update/2012-07-25/north...y-over-flag-dispute/
The North Korean women's football team has refused to start an Olympic Games match at Hampden Park in Glasgow because of a dispute over the wrong flag being displayed, the Associated Press reports.

A South Korean flag was reportedly displayed on a screen before kick-off. They are due to face Columbia.

I apologise on behalf of my daft fellow countrymen. :facepalm:

However I do expect this was a 'mistake' by the Olympic organisers. :iitm:

What next? :hide:

What a basic but obvious significant mistake!

People who get upset about flags can kiss my swingers though.

I know where you're coming from, but, firstly, you would think someone could google "North Korean flag", and get it right, and, secondly, if you're going to get the wrong flag for North Korea, any other flag in the world with the possible exception of the US flag would have been okay. If they'd have put the Algerian flag up there, that would have been fine. Imagine if the Palestinian national football team had been playing, and they'd put up the Israeli flag, or played the Israeli national anthem.

Still it wouldn't be the first time...



Also, thinking about it, the South Korean flag is very distinctive and has what looks like a massive tennis ball on it. I assume it's a ying and yang thing, but it does look like a massive tennis ball.

Heh, if you're going to drop a bollock under those circumstances that's about as big a bollock that could possibly be dropped.
Maybe they just did a quick Google ...'Korea flag' and posted up the first one that came up...! you know what they say about paying peanuts and getting monkeys!

Check it out:

www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q...cQUK6XIoeb1AWPoYDIAg

Even on a basic image search of "Korean flag", both flags come up. There are more of South Korea, though, so maybe they just thought "oh, well, it's probably that one".

Nobody higher up would ever had made this 'mistake' , unless it was a deliberate 'mistake'... we were not born yesterday... :butkik:
