Did you take the pictures yourself :-)?
So if yes, send a zendeh bad to your "Lori" friend

Great. I took my shir va khorshid flag to the Iran games in world cup Germany and we sat next to these sefarati types. They looked at the flag and smiled. Their smile said "we are with you but we can't say anything".

Commentary about Iranian fans by swedish players & few pictures

What you're saying is irrelevant here-- here's the problem with waving a shir-o-khorshid flag.
A) It's not the official flag of current day Iran. Argue whatever you want, you can't argue you this...
B) Based on who the players are representing, they play for present-day Iran, which again, is represented by the current flag. It's like you're a Washington Wizards fan (NBA in case you don't follow), but you refuse to call them the Wizards but instead the "Bullets" whenever you refer to them...it's a joke in the eyes of everyone else.
C) By waving a shir-o-khorshid flag, you're sending a political statement as opposed to a nationalistic statement. You're point becomes invalid here in the eyes of others who see it, say, the Swedes for instance. They were all probably confused as most of them probably had never seen the old flag before.

Isn't the point of waving an Iranian flag at sporting events to show who you're representing?! What's the point of waving a flag that no one knows what it is? If your goal is something otherwise, then go nuts and wave the S-o-K flag all you want...

Never seen so much junk in one post and ive been here since 2006

The Islamic republic flag represents 37 years of killing, oppression , gender inequality, torture , hanging in public, stoning to death , lack of freedom of speech, corruption , lack of religious freedom , do you want me to go on?
Now you can go ahead and wave the IR flag but have this in mind the players have no choice but you do! If you wave the IR flag that means you agree with all of what I have listed above, and are fully proud of it all

There is no gray line here its a simple black and white matter , you are either with the regime and all that this regime resembles and you are voluntarily providing support to this backwarded regime by waving its flag OR you are against it and willing to wave the ancient iranian emblem that dates back to at least 3000 years ago according just to one account of artifact present at the hermitage museum in Russia

The shir khorshid emblem represents iran and our ancestors, the IR flag represents Khomeini and his regime the question is which side are you on?

I am betting on the fact that you are historically illiterate and politically an opportunist with no knowledge of national principals, which is the case!, just like few other illiterate members that i had this agonizing discussion in the past week

I do think you are making an honest mistake, due to lack of awareness, however you are unintentionally spreading the IR propaganda, which is why i wasted 5 minutes of my life writing this maybe you reconsider your stance, atleast in the future when you become wiser

Educate your self please!

Remember i am your friend, the enemy is the IR regime

Anyone else that agrees with you in my view is standing on the other side of the fence

Totally lame argument. The tricolor flag is the major difference and all people can recognize those colors and you can see many of these different mark on them as vintage. I have seen it in volleyball games in football, and many more sports specially in balkan, germany and south america I have seen this in national level. For example Germans put a black bird on their national flag or some old national symbol to make it more unique and nobody gets confused or talk against it. You sound like following an agenda here.

There is no policy that you can not bring vintage flag for yourself with national or historical symbols on them in FIFA.

Theres only two scenarios.
1. You wave this regimes flag because you support them.
2. You wave this regimes flag because you have no choice.

Seems like you have a choice and your making a terrible mistaking understanding this. So you have to wave whatever is "official" and ignore the violence that went behind it? With your definition people should wave ISIS stupid black flag if they took over a country and made it "official".

Maybe just start with the green, white and red and work your way up to S-O-K!

Or maybe it meant "we know who you are and we have noted this, Asghar, bporo pedaresho dar biyar "

actually I would prefer if they just have red, white and green, with the word IRAN in the white area .....

They are pretty impossible to find and buy

[maly3648]

The only flag we have and we have to use is the official actual flag. Put your political opinions, racists thoughts and whatever else aside ... We are the only country in the world i see these kinds of retarded debates and you are making a shame of our country. Even harsh supporters of USSR never tried to use old flag in international events after the collapse of their "regime" when it came to sport while they were a superpower dominating almost the world ! If you you re not happy about something, stop the sabotage and use existing frameworks to make your points without destroying our reputation abroad by saying 24/7 bullshits about actual Iran. At the end of the day, you ll be the one also suffering from our reputation abroad by playing this dirty game as ignorants will not make any difference between you and other Iranians.

No, waving the IR.Iran flag is acknowledging that this is our nationally accepted (by the people through revolution) and internationally accepted flag. The IR flag represents Iran. By waving that flag we show our support for Team Meli which represents IR.Iran.

Based on your reasoning, if waving the IR flag is supporting Khomeini and oppression, then waving the Shir o Khorshid flag is supporting: Dictatorship, Savak mass torture and killing of Iranian people, MKO traitors... Do you want me to go on?

If in the future there is another popular revolution and a new flag is accepted, then we will wave that flag which represents our nation.

I'm your friend, the enemy is ignorance.

the shir khorshid flag does not only belong to the Pahlavi dynasty.
