No, because the Georgina flag is very similar to the English one.
And when you see it being waved around en masse by pationate nationalists it provokes an image...

Calm down Craig. It was more an observation about the similarities in flags between two nations at the opposite extremities of Europe.
And I’m far more bitchy about All Black fans over-reactions to World Cup defeats than that…

Grant,
I can’t speak for HG, but there is no need to be playing, or having recently played, sport to a top level to be able to write about it. In fact in this country there is far too much reliance put on ex-players in the MSM.
Ian Jones, for example.
From Neville Cardus on, the best sports writers have been those who can analyse from a distance, as long as they have a deep understanding of the game.

There’s something oddly disturbing about those shots of a crowd of Georgian nationalists waving their flag.
Reminds me of English football hooligans.

I wonder if the likes of Mike McRoberts etc. actually believe that all the scenes in LOTR were real too…
And the shock / horror in the lip-synching by the 9 year-old who happened to be more telegenic than the real singer has been nothing short of xenophobic. Spice Girls / True Bliss anyone?

Anyone else see the Men’s slalom kayaking last night? (And why are we not a contender there?)
Highlight was the guy from that well-known mountain river rapids nation of Togo, who got bronze.
In his celebrations he smashed his paddle clean in two. He stopped for about .5 of a second and then just kept going. Highlight of the games for me so far.

When did the French become a force in swimming relays?
Hmmm…

I meant "or" big-note it...
-
Ask Lionel Messi if he'd rather have a World Cup and a Champions League trophy medal or an Olympic Gold. No contest
Or ask Ryan Nelson if he’d rather help the All Whites qualify for World Cup against New Caledonia / Fiji, and big note it round China with all the big name players… While taking pot-shots at the Phoenix.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist that dig)

That English speaking figure seems a bit light to me.
Unless they’re not counting Americans. :)
