Well done SFA

After looking completely useless during the whole Rangers fiasco the SFA had a chance tonight to show the world that they arent really as useless as they have looked in recent weeks during that mess.

Hampden Park tonight hosted the Olympic Football match between North Korea and Colombia, well the good old SFA managed to use the South Korean flag on the big screens in the stadium to introduce the North Koreans which prompted an hour long protest from the North Koreans who left the pitch refusing to play the match

If there were two countries in the world you didnt want to mix up surely it is North and South Korea

Well done SFA, everyone who previously thought you were incompetent, now knows for certain you are

Gutted I missed this on tv! You really couldn't make it up!

Best of luck with your independence

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Got a feeling this will rumble on. Not a good start and to be honest I think they had a right to be upset

 

[rosecott]

SFA or Olympic Committee?

SFA or Olympic Committee?

I dare say the Olympic Committee are involved somewhere but I would think that any matches at Hampden are entrusted to the SFA and their employees, who are allegedly well versed in organising International matches.

Damn..after slagging the SFA for a gaffe, I miss an "L" off the thread title

It may be 2-0 here but it will be 95-0 in north Korea, all goals scored by the north Korean keeper using only one arm to save all shots and having both legs tied together.

What looked just as bad as the flag mixup was the crowd of about 200, shameful they couldn't just give away tickets for free to schoolkids.
Standard of football was ok, not much worse than the usual Hampden fare!
Olympics and football do not mix.

They did give thousands of tickets away!

Just no interest in Olympic football up here.

 

[bigslice]

shocking, will read about it in the papers the moro, hopefully south korea missiles cant reach ecosse

 

[Iaing]

There were 40 000 tickets given away free.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

See whit happens when they give a Glesga Jakey the job!!

They are saying that images were beamed up by the Olympic Organisers in London.
Nationality unknown.

Quite funny though, same as flying the Union flag when England play.

 

[smange]

Whoever is responsible will be lucky to keep their job

Time for a new Korea for them

 

[Iaing]

The looks on the North Korean faces were priceless!
They could only have looked more insulted if Team America World Police had been shown on the big screen.
:rofl:

Saving it for the national anthem next time.....

"I'm ronery, so ronery...."

I hope none of these Koreans were watching when they were invited to press the red button, that would make me very nervous

 

[StuartD]

I have a debenture seat at hampden which lets me buy a ticket for any event run by the SFA. I was never sent any application forms so i don't think the SFA were involved at all.

Also I would think the SFA would recognise a backward insular dictatorship when they saw one

 

[brendy]

Damn..after slagging the SFA for a gaffe, I miss an "L" off the thread title

Ya see, its in your nature

 

[DCB]

Definitely not an SFA issue this time. C'mon, after the demise of the mighty Rangers starting world war three was the obvious next step, but even the SFA aren't that stupid

 

[Dodger]

Smange.....for once a cock up was nothing to do with the SFA but just wait 24 hours and you can fire up another thread slagging these idiots off.
