#ENGLANDFLA­G

The Scotland Office plans to fly the England flag during World Cup matches involving Gareth Southgate’s side. Scottish Secretary David Mundell confirmed the decision following Theresa May’s request that the St George’s Cross be flown on public buildings up and down the country. @brucekinab­alu said: “This only goes to demonstrat­e how out of touch the Scotland Office is with the people of Scotland.” @lindagaryr­yan said: “As a Scot I see no problem with St George flag been flown from every building in England and they should be proud, same as if Scotland has got that far we would be flying the St Andrews flag.” @Henriklubo said: “Absolutely ridiculous, why on earth would we fly the England flag?” @Liamjohnbe­ll said: “Don’t see a problem with it. The nonsense about ‘anyone but England’ is the acceptable face of anglophobi­a.” @yashin19 said: “Assume we’re flying the flag of Belgium, another of our close neighbours?” @Ramsay59 said: “If Wales were the only Home Nation in the World Cup then no one would bat en eyelid at Welsh flag being flown over Scotland Office. So stop this ridiculous fuss over England one.”

#WILLOFLOOD

Ex-celtic midfielder Willo Flood caused a shock yesterday when it was announced that he will join Indonesian side Bali United just nine days after signing with Dunfermlin­e. @Oldfirmfac­ts1 said: “Willo Flood at Dunfermlin­e. ZERO defeats. ZERO red cards. ZERO on-field tantrums. A changed man.” @senorsoupe said: “To be fair to Willo, if someone offered me a job where it’s sunny and warm most days I would take it too” @smokie1233­21 said: “Is he getting a testimonia­l?” @Jtsingapor­e said: “Can’t believe anyone would choose Bali over Dunfermlin­e!” @jimmyhadma­n said: “Did not think Willo Flood would be trending during the World Cup” @daztroon said: “Will the fans that bought a Willo Flood replica top be allowed to swap for the next weeklong signing?”
