Before anyone points it out there are spelling errors in the title.

Mate did you know you've spelt oly.....

An absolutely embarassing mistake by the stadium media team. Not a good start at all.

I wondered why it was on when I changed channels. Not even taken much notice and never heard it mentioned until the second half.

Anyone got any other flad mix ups that could be embrrassing?

Not a flag mix-up so much; but far, far more embarrassing nonetheless.

Unforgettable stuff!

Good grief...I mean having lived here for a while I know all Koreans are Koreans but seeing as I'm living around 60 miles from the border for the next few weeks it would be nice if you didn't piss these people off, eh?

You have no idea how seriously the people over here take their nationality issues - down here in the South as well as the North. It's quite interesting actually.

However.... lol lol lol ...it's a pretty funny fail. Either that or someone has just pulled off one of the most elaborate trolls in Olympic history. Imagine that...

Fair enough that they are pissed, youve only got to read how "horrified" people are if you put the Union Flag (i was going to say Jack, but i think that even brings out the country police) for an england team...or scotland et al.

This is just an example of poor research and planning and is not acceptable.

Wasn't there a gaffe afew years back with the UJ being flown upside down. The Mail loved it because they could do a huge headline blaming it on terrorists.

This is a recent one. They had an upside flag at Downing Street in some ceromony. I was thinking of another one.

The term Union Jack has naval connections when the flag was flown at the front of ships.

There are whole websites devoted to the UJ being flown upside down. Don't these people have a life?

Meanwhile, Taiwan demanded an explanation after its flag was replaced with the nation’s Olympic committee colours on London’s Regent Street.
