Lucifer   10 #2 Posted July 26, 2012 Who is checking the security company ?. The man in charge of 4GS doesn't look to give us confidence, a hair cut and designer specs might give a better image but we now need the Armed Forces and extra Police but what do we expect when the only quoted about £450 million to end up crap.

skinz   10 #6 Posted July 26, 2012 How many other " genuine mistakes " will be made ?.  As I said, hopefully non. A mistake right at the beginning might just kick the organizers into double/triple checking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shane39 Â Â 10 #7 Posted July 26, 2012 I suspect this topic could be rather epic. Â First balls-up of the olympic games. Â South Korean flag displayed instead of North Korean flag at yesterdays ladies football match in Scotland. Â The North Korean team walked off in disgust.... As they say...Ya couldn't make it up..

fistygrey   10 #9 Posted July 26, 2012 Plenty of people will be willing to post any negatives and ignore the positives.  Well done to our Ladies football team for winning their first ever game in the Olympics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rupert_Baehr   10 #10 Posted July 26, 2012 A genuine mistake most likely. Done on the first day It's likely it won't happen again. Mistakes do happen. Such sensitivity over a flag.  Particularly when it's the flag of a nation with which you are technically at war!  Should a British athlete be standing on the podium about to receive a gold medal and should the band strike up with 'La Marseillaise' do you think anybody would complain?  There can be no excuse (other than 'We're not very bright and we didn't know the difference between North Korea and South Korea)  It was a complete ****-up and reflects badly on the organisers.

Bypassblade   10 #11 Posted July 26, 2012 A genuine mistake most likely. Done on the first day It's likely it won't happen again. Mistakes do happen. Such sensitivity over a flag.  Any other countries might not have raised such a stir, but it was North Korea & they showed South Korea's flag. The hatred there is unrivaled & technically, they are STILL at war, so basically it is a mess up of the HIGHEST degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
