Another SFA balls up

At the Women's Olympic game at Hampden, the North Koreans have walked off the park and the match has been delayed for an hour after the idiots at Hampden displayed the SOUTH KOREAN flag instead of the North Korean ones.

Eyes of the world and all that.

Incompetent doesn't even come close to describing these clowns. They've brought shame on this country.

TCD, I was just thinking that actually. I'm not sure if the SFA have just rented Hampden out or if they're responsible for hosting the match and therefore what goes up on the screens.

Either way it's an epically bad start to the games

Charles Green stole the North Korean flag, to use it as a negotiation tool.

Regan is on record as saying, "as if they'll know the difference anyway"

Update - it's not actually the SFA's fault!

Bad news for Locog in London: all the video packages are prepared centrally. Their mix-up. I'd check the tapes for the opening ceremony.

It was up on the big screen. It wasn't an actual flag. And apparently the video footage is done by Locog in London so it's not actually the fault of the SFA for a change.

I have my doubts about "centrally prepared."

The screens at the various grounds involved all work on different formats as they are different sizes, ages & makes.

Indeed, the graphics used at Hampden last night are exactly the same as used on every other Hampden game.

You can be sure that the folk operating the boards are the same last night as they are every other game.

You can also be sure that Salmond fins a way to blame London.

He better make sure that the Australian & New Zealand flags don't get mixed up in 2 years time.....

Complete joke, embarrassment, and further proof, if any were needed, that the SFA are not "fit for purpose".

How hard can it be to look up the correct flag and use it?
