Copa Final 2016: Barca - Sevilla 2-0(ET)

[El Flaco]

A Spanish judge has overturned the ban on Catalan esteladas for the CdR final, saying 'There's no proof the display of this perfectly legal flag may incite violence or hatred, like the prohibition said'

This was accomplished by Drets, an independent association of Catalan lawyers and people who work in the legal system.

Not by Bartomeu and co...

They moved faster than Barça and presented their recourse very quickly, which allowed them to remove the ban on time.

Well done!

Why Scottish flags?

 

[MasChe]

I'm guessing all other flags were sold, and when they banned esteladas, we just went like "feck it, come on you scotts!"

 

[JamDav1982]

Scottish flags would make no sense whatsoever.

A bad lie that I think.

I think you've all been living under a rock if you can't understand why we have chosen Scotland flags.

Nah I live in Scotland.

Tell my why it is relevant..

 

[Luftstalag14]

Yeah, the Scottish flag thingy is lost on me too, especially since the Scottish voted NO to independence after all.

 

[Topolino]

Catalonia also voted, same year the Scots, even though their "election" wasn't as legal as the one in Scotland.

Maybe the Scottish blue resembles the blue from catalonia and the white stripes can always be made red with the blood of madridistas...

Or they'll have Scottish flag on one side and catalan on the other side.

It's just baffling that the central government of a country doesn't understand that even though Catalonia is fighting against being part of them, telling them not to use a flag that should be 100% legal in Spain is now banned from a stadium.. it'll just make Catalans hold more anger towards them.

Edit: Anyway, a judge already overruled the ban which is impressive and logical. Barto & co doesn't have the kind of power the lawyers have, it's only logical they didn't poke here.

The Scottish flag has been chosen because Catalan independence group want the region to be given the same right to decide its political future as Scotland received in the referendum in 2014

bring it on...better get some booze in

 

[Barcaman]

Btw. What has Tebas to say now that flags are allowed?

If all it is about is the right to vote and the system then be as well using the British flag then and highlighting the political system that allowed Scotland to decide its future.

Still dont think having Scottish flags makes any sense. Even though looks like wont happen.

 

[Barcaman]

"British flag"

Riight.. Because symbol of colonialism and flag of kingdom would resonate well with separatist Catalans

Leo at his finest in last Copa Final
