Why does an Irish football club logo feature the Ottoman flag?

Irish football club Drogheda United features an iteration of the Ottoman flag on its logo. But what is the relationship between a club founded in a small Irish town and the great Turkish empire 3,000 kilometres away? The story behind this starts with tragedy...

    The Sultan Abdulmejid actually offered ten times as much as the figure stated but The British 'Famine Queen' victoria refused it as she didn't permit any offer equal or more to her measly £2000. The 'Famine' was a result of a slow and systematic genocide that lasted over 300 years that methodically aimed to destroy Irish culture and devastate the land and people.

    All the countries UK colonize, including Australia, NZ and Asia..Not only that, they sent criminals to the west for their crimes. Yikes, it seems almost the whole world. The locals were either keil or programmed that the west is superior.. Sadly, non-western people still think highly of westerners incl their looks. While some also look down on their own people for being backwards..Remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

    Which is funny because after the Napoleonic war, Arab Muslims came under the protection of the British Empire. The Palistinan flag is based on the Arab Revolt flag, because the Arabs was fighting alongside Britain and France in WW1. Winston Churchill said to the American president not to break peace with the Muslims.

    About 20 years ago, when I was a kid, I used to see my father read a book titled, "Potato People" by Angela Wright with the cover of a yellow thin man that look like a dead person. I never read that book and by looking at the cover, I thought it was about people that do not eat potato because of famine. I didn't know it has a deeper meaning about oppression, injustice and colonisation. Now, I got to find and start read the book.

One of the 48 Irish who have lost their lives working as peacekeepers in Lebanon over the decades. The stories my grandparents told me are alive in memory, directly reported by those who lived it. They were children during our war for Independence, so while true no one here in the Republic now was alive during British rule, you forget that those that were alive then, told us their stories. ...and their grandparents were alive during the Gorta Mór to tell them.

In South Africa, Nelson Mandela was jailed & called a Terrorist by the Pretoria Apartheid gov. In Libya, Omar Mukhtar ( LION OF THE DESERT) leader of the local resistance group was called terrorist by the Italian colonial gov. In Ireland, the IRA was called a Terrorist group by the Britain gov. All over the globe, a person or a group of people whom resist the occupation of theirs land by the British, USA, Germany, French, Poturgal, Spanish or Italy colonial gov. were called TERRORISTS by them. In the 911 USA incident, it was named " terrorists attack " by the US gov. Then why this time they called the attackers terrorist, but when the US Army attack or invade other country they call the local resistance group there terrorist?

    its not true, The Star and Crescent coat of arms of Drogheda in fact dates back to the year 1210 AD. 'In April of the year 1185, the then Prince John made his first visit to Ireland where he granted extensive lands to the trusted Royal Administration with one of these being Bertram de Verdun who was found in Drogheda at this time. 'During his stay in Ireland the young Prince, who was then only 19 years of age, established the foundation of Administration and Law, which he later expanded upon in his second expedition to Ireland in his reign as King in the year 1210.' Prince John returned to England in December of the year 1185 and by this time Hugh de Lacy was establishing the town of Drogheda. Walter de Lacy, son of Hugh was then granted the town's first Charter in 1194 and by the time King John arrived back in Drogheda in 1210, the town was flourishing. John's Coat of Arms was that of the Star and Crescent, taken from earlier expeditions with the Crusades to the Near East and so, by his own Charter to the town of Drogheda, the symbol of the Star and Crescent prevailed, the very same symbols appearing on coinage struck in Ireland at this time. 'Incidentally, the symbol of the Star and Crescent also appears in sculpture over the thrones in St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, which was also erected during his Lordship of Ireland. This is from local historians from Drogheda, sourced from an Irish Independent Article. Additionally, the symbol of the Star and Crescent representing the Coat of Arms of Drogheda and having no connection with the Turkish flag, the same symbol appears on the flags of the East Turkistan Republic, Pakistan, Tunisia and Malaysia.'

    Just a correction, the town is pronounced Dro-heda. I live in the area. I think it's also interesting that the Turkish club, Trabzonspor, share the same colours as Drogheda United, and Drogheda Utd are like a sister club to them. They support each other and Trabzonspor fans even sent donations to the Drogheda team when the club were in financial difficulty, around the late 2000's.

When asked how much she was giving he was told £2,000's He replied that he would match this but was convinced to give only £1,000's in order to make it look as if the British Queen was the most generous donor.

The London Times being one of them, ( April 1847 ) wrote of the sultans generosity to the Irish people “ does him great credit” a few days later a religious paper called ‘Church and State Gazette’ wrote: Abdúlmedjid as a ruler “ representing multitudinous Islam populations “ “for his warm sympathies for a Christian nation” I also read somewhere that the £1000 pounds donated was given to a hon Mr Wellesley to be distributed to the needy. But that’s as far as I got. I haven’t researched the claims (either way ) of how the symbols ( crescent & star ) came into being. But in general it seems unfitting for Irish emblems , that being said, as I mentioned I haven’t researched that.

    Some years ago, it was reported that a group of British oil workers were ambushed by terrorists as they drove across a Middle Eastern desert. An attacker was about to inflict violence on one man when he tore his shirt open to reveal a large tattoo of a crescent moon surmounted by a gold star. The shock of seeing the very symbol of Islam prominently displayed on a presumed infidel's chest caused much confusion in the minds of the terrorists. They left the men unmolested lest they accidently kill a fellow muslim. The oil worker was a supporter of Portsmouth football club and it was his team's crest that was proudly inked on his flesh. Apart from the colours, the crest is identical to Drogheda's emblem. In the case of Portsmouth, the heavenly bodies reflect the city's naval tradition and the motto "Heaven's light, our guide."
