Should English clubs/club who's player broke the rules by displaying this banner regards the Falklands at the World cup take action against their player even though these rules were broken while playing for their country?

I wouldn’t have thought so. They’re representing their country and their host body is their national federation.

No doubt some bellends in the stands will be giving them grief this season though.

I don't think you need to be a bellend to give them grief. I think you need to be a bigger one to have so little class as to have raised a political banner aimed at your opponents at the end of a game on the biggest stage.
Particularly in a tournament where a team has had its shirt banned for being 'too political' and flags have been removed for the same reason - even when they weren't.
It's not as though they're protesting human rights abuses or anything of that nature - it's purely an economic land claim.

I think in the circumstances, fans have every right to give it out to them.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Was it a Spurs Uruguayan or Argentinian got disciplined by the club for some racism issue regarding a teammate while on international duty ?

Difficult one. 255 British military personnel, and 3 Falkland Islanders lost their lives, in a war started by Argentina. They're working in this country, they should show respect.

Not convinced they should be sacked as some are calling for, although I did work for an American who sacked two non US employees for making inappropriate comments on an anniversary of 9/11. However this football, so money would always come before principles

Certainly I would expect any player of an opposition team if already losing heavily to at least try and break the leg of one of those players.

I seem to recall Chelsea considering punishment for Fernandez after some footage emerged of a racist sing song in the Argentinian dressing room after Copa America last season…

In my opinion no. They are earning a living in this country and then mock them like that. I think its wrong but then what do you expect from the Argentian team

I'll certainly be giving any of them grief when we play them

Perhaps the clubs with Argentine players could just find a new shirt sponsor, you know one of those tourism related ones - 'Visit The Falklands' for example...
