Its going to be the North Cyprus flag at Arsenal scenario all over again. They'll be the usual complaints. Somehow I can't see anyone telling Haye to take the flag of his shorts to his face. The boxing authorities will act no doubt. Well done to Leon Osman for scoring for Everton today. A TC boy done good, even though he's part Scouser.
