00:00 Obviously I'm English but I'm not like so English that it means that much to me that it has to be a red cross.
00:08 I think it's kind of fun and I don't really see why there should be a problem with that.
00:13 Go back, leave it.
00:15 Why do you think that?
00:16 It's traditional, it's the red cross, it's St George's cross.
00:19 I don't feel it's disrespectful, I mean people are in support of a community and I feel like they deserve to be represented as well.
00:27 I don't like it, I don't.
00:29 Why don't you like it?
00:30 Well mine's okay but not mine.
00:32 You think it's disrespectful to the people?
00:34 Yes, it is.
00:35 I just don't think it's right.
00:37 I think England's shirt should be plain white like back in the 70s, you know.
00:45 Especially when you're watching the football on the telly, wearing a Wembley at night, plain white shirt stands out more for me.
00:56 I just don't like some of these modern day designs, you know.
01:01 And you know, that's just how I feel about it.
01:04 It's just a cross, a blue and red cross, the English flag is white.
01:09 You know, that's the way it should be.
01:10 But it's nice looking.
01:11 But the actual shirt's nice, yeah, but there is going to be a lot of controversy over that England flag.
