After the debacle we witnessed today, logging onto a football forum to shit stir about an obvious parody flag that's been there all season? Get a grip/ a life

I like it. It was up at the Swansea game and we couldn't see who it was as those pesky kids were standing in front of the face. They should jolly well sit down.

"He started playing at school in his native Argentina. But because he suffered from asthma, he chose to be a goalkeeper so he could keep his inhaler close to him.
According to the historian, it was already at this time that Che started showing his rebellious side.
"He played the game against his family's will, who thought it would be bad for his health.
He also played a few games during his motorcycle tour of South America. In a letter to his father he described playing with leprosy patients in Peru.
"This may seem like pointless bravado," he wrote in a letter home to his father, "but the psychological benefit to these people - usually treated like animals - of being treated as normal human beings is incalculable."
I know the blokes who had that flag done. It’s probably about 10 years old. It was dug out a few weeks ago and is now up in the Q Block. The lads who did it definitely didn’t do it for any political reasons. They’re not any left wing lunatics! They’re proper QPR fans with no political agenda! It’s just a quality flag associated with a song we have sung down the Bush for decades!!
VIVE LE REVOLUTION , this club loves a bit of anarchy so let's tear ourselves apart over a, flag! most don't seem bothered but if the flag was thought provoking then great. personally well done to all involved in the flag stuff, arranging it and of course the club allowing it.

Completely agree: we were awful today and Marti possibly departing is ominous news - and for the record, (young) people trying to add to the tepid atmosphere at HQ should be aided and praised.
That said, it's perfectly cricket to ask a question on the forum.
So - why the very random (and seemingly zero link) inclusion of quite a violent revolutionary thug? I'm not sure too many people want our club / legend associated with that person / imagery.
Here's the thing. The guy in question (disclaimer: Loft Flags - not Che!) pushing these flags (great initiative objectively) is a widely know RMT activist. I actually went to university with this guy - nice enough fella, just what that imagery has to do with QPR should be up for clarity without prejudice.
If there can't be any reason aside from this kid's personal politics (which I very much doubt anybody can provide) - have a great evening x

It’s also not their flag but let’s not let that get in the way of you trying to have a pop at them.

Idea for new Les flag inspired by vintage Mao Zedong Chinese Communist Party poster. Already got a lot of interest but looking for funding help from right-wing snowflakes with no sense of humour and / or no sense of anything. Meet you in the Blue Peter Garden.

Arguably your finest Daniel.
Hasta la victoria siempre, as Che famously wrote to Alec Stock after the victorious 1967 Rangers uprising at Wembley.
As we wrestle with the martyrdom of Marti, I fully expect Kim Jung Nourry to assuage the fears of the peasantary at the next congress by stating, history will absolve me!

was che guevara image popular before citizen smith
The AI answer: Yes, Che Guevara's image was already quite popular before the 2001 BBC show, "Citizen Smith." The iconic "Guerrillero Heroico" photograph by Alberto Korda, depicting Che, was taken in 1960. This image became a symbol of the Cuban Revolution and was widely circulated throughout the world, gaining recognition as a symbol of rebellion and counterculture long before the show "Citizen Smith" aired. While "Citizen Smith" likely contributed to the image's continued popularity, it's important to note that Che's image was already well-established in popular culture before the show.
"It's been 48 years since CITIZEN SMITH first roared onto our screens in 1977 (April 11th) — with Wolfie Smith in full revolutionary swagger, ..."
This surprises me that it was so late. Thought it was about '74. So I would have been approaching 14 then, so I must have seen it before. I mean, I'd been on the French exchange and everything by then...
Che t-shirts; and the beatles red and blue albums were everything in Le Mans...

You're actually right, in a way.
The existing photo was found and adapted by Jim Fitzpatrick in the 70's into the red-and-black graphic. I think that's when it became really popular.
