I think people/wankers are deliberately making up stories to try & get a suitable reaction from otherwise normal people & it's working particularly on people who don't actually live here.

The motives behind this are quite obvious & it stinks. I've seen plenty of cars & houses already flying the George cross & the World Cup doesn't even start for 3 fucking weeks.

Google it & see what kind of websites are pushing this bullshit & then ask yourselves the question whether you really want to help them propogate this intentionally devisive fucking tripe.

The ultimate irony with the whole 'Flag of St George' thing is that he was most likely a Palestinian (and certainly a 'foreigner')

After tonight I think milner, baines and carrick should be banned from wearing England shirts during the world cup. The void left by the players they replaced was enormous and personally from Citys point of view I would not be happy spending £30m on a poor lampard. Or am I wrong?

Milner looked better in the second half when we switched to a 4-4-2, I suspect it was how we were trying to play in the first half that was the problem more than the players on the pitch.

What a really excites me about this is that hooligans are going to be yellow carded by police out on the street. I can't wait to see fat middle-aged bald men diving on the pavement, rolling about in agony and kneeling down, hands joined and pointing skywards in prayer for the policeman to be lenient with them.

Comedy gold :D

Saw in a paper today that the Met have come out and said that the banning of flags/wearing colours/kicking people in the face cos they don't live on your street is in fact a myth. Well, the first two anyway.

It also confirmed that the Croydon police have issued guidelines to try and deter potential trouble, including not having football tops in pubs during games.

Police: England football shirt pub ban is a myth
Football fans can breathe a sigh of relief after police quashed rumours of a possible ban on wearing England shirts in pubs during the World Cup.

Fans in England shirts at Wembley before the England v Mexico game ..Forces also moved to dismiss suggestions that flags bearing a St George’s Cross could also be outlawed.
Speculation started in March after the Met issued advice to pubs in Croydon, south London, suggesting ‘dress code restrictions – eg no football shirts’ in pubs screening matches.
A group called I Am Against The Ban On England Shirts During The World Cup amassed more than 60,000 supporters in response to the possible crackdown.
But yesterday a Met Police spokesman said: ‘Licensees are not obliged to follow our advice and there is no policy to stop the wearing of England shirts.’
Insp Howard Lewis-Jones, of West Midlands Police, said: ‘It is nonsense. Officers are football fans too and patriotism should be an important part of enjoying the tournament in a fun atmosphere as long as people are sensible.’
He also said talk of a directive stating pubs should not be adorned with England flags was an ‘urban myth’.
A spokesman for the British Beer and Pub Association said: ‘It’s good to see that common sense has prevailed.’
The Football Supporters Federation said the clarification came as a ‘relief’.
