    The North Korean women's football team walked off the pitch at their Olympic match in Glasgow after their images were shown on a screen beside a South Korean flag.

    Touchy lot, they should just be happy they were allowed to leave the country to take part <laugh>

    Today they've listed Joe Allen as English ebb though he's Welsh.

    Two cock ups and the Olympics haven't officially started yet

    Of all the things to cock up though - the most touchy nation on Earth having their flag replaced with their neighbour's who are also regarded by them as the proverbial great satan.

    If you do any research on N Korea you can only feel genuinly sad for it's people who appear impoverished to fund the leaders lifestyle and a massive army and hope that some time soon the ruling dynasty falls prior to starting world war three.

    Yeah, North Korea need to get their priorities straight. Like maybe, feeding their populous instead of making huge, pointless bronze statues and parading obsolete military technology through the streets of their capital

    What a strange, dangerous state they are.

    Don't forget that, technically, they are still at war. Having being introduced under the enemy flag isn't the best they would have hoped for.
