Palestinian flags at Saturday's match?

I heard some guy from the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign on the Last Word last night. From what I gather, they're planning on handing out Palestinian flags to the Irish fans as they enter Lansdowne Road for Saturday's game. And, they want to get Irish people to do some pro-Palestinian chanting.

I really hope this is a total flop.

They have also organized an "alternative" international game with some Irish guys playing some Palestinians in Limerick. I can't figure out whether to be annoyed, embarrassed or amused. I think it's a combination of all three right now.
