Maghery always win the award for the best Website, ever since 1998. Yer Man Corr was a bit of a Technical Wizzkid.

Ah yes; Carrickmore's Legendry reputation of accepting defeat/results.

You're one to be talking....Carmen bate yis in the County Final in '95 and it sounds like you're still bitter about it! Awww

After all those blinking replays against Errigal! )

I was more concerned about the Gold Cup Final, Women's WC and U-17 WC.

USA 2 up against El Tri, then losing 4-2 Damnit! 

[The topic is about Catholics voting DUP, not Nationalists.]

By the same token how many unionist would vote SF?

Is it?

Doesn't say anything about "Catholics" in the thread title.

Anyhow, for the record, this non-Catholic* can't see himself ever voting DUP.

Or for that matter, for any  Political Party which contains obnoxious, bigoted, extremist c u nts in its very highest ranks...


* - Non-Christian, actually.

EG/MR2 if you read the opening post: "heartened by the recent poll that showed that only 16% of catholics would want a united ireland the dup have launched a campaign aimed at catholic voters. what would they need to do to attract your vote?"

Thanks for putting me straight.

Would Prods vote for SF?

Perhaps Working-Class Protestants (alienated by Unionists) would.

btw, BBC NI mentioned to Baibre De Bruin about Sinn Fein voters in Andytown transferring to the DUP. I can certainly see more of that, cobsidering the animosity Shinners in West Belfast have towards the SDLP. Perhaps Alex Atwood would have to rely on Transfers from Socialist Voters in the next Assembly Election in order to keep his Seat.

4 lads from Kerry played the last day anyway I think. Mike Moloney at full back (former Kerry minor and U-21), Shane Doolan at wing back (both Dr. Crokes men), Kevin O'Leary at centre forward and Cathal O'Sullivan who came on.

Some great men working tirelessly in GAA clubs in london...helped out manys a young lad who landed off plane/boat in their time.

Ah, the joys of having Sterling.

Funny how Cockney Geezers tried to disown the Irish whilst most Jellied Eels were obviously fished in Lough Neagh.

Also, the Pogues met up at a Clash Gig in the 70's. Joe Strummer produced a Pogues Album (think it was 'Rum, Sodomy and the Lash').

Aghaloo, Ardboe and Aghyaran.

Any other Tyrone place names that begin with A or Agh?

Aghabrack and Augher.

That Ryan Kelly must have alot of time on his hands lately.I read another of his letters to the Telegraph I think. Lets just say most of us wouldn't be on the same wave length as Ryan.

What is it about these Armagh ones and their letter writing?

Probably because literacy is a fairly recent concept in Buckfast land

Maith thu mo chara!

The brother of one of the Disappeared has spoken out, as it emerged a dig is underway at a cemetery in Co Monaghan as part of on-going investigations.


The exhumations of remains - from the graveyard of Urbleshanny Church near Scotstown - is taking place in the same area as previous excavations for Co Tyrone teen Columba McVeigh, who was just 17 when he was abducted and murdered in 1975.

"Until the DNA is done you can't really build up any hopes," his brother Oliver told UTV.



"It would be great if it was Columba and we could give him a Christian burial, but I haven't been given any indications at this stage."

An Garda Síochana confirmed that the Irish Justice Minister granted permission for the exhumation from a named grave, due to information received by gardaí and the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains.

Local coroner Dr Martin Watters, who then authorised the exhumation, added: "In the recent past I gave the go ahead for an exhumation to identify the remains within that grave.

"It was an official grave with the graveyard."

The State Pathologist and a forensic anthropologist are at the scene, along with gardaí, Commission staff and scientists.

It is anticipated that the subsequent examination of the remains will take some time.

Sixteen people were murdered and "disappeared" by republican paramilitaries during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but only nine bodies have so far been recovered from secret burial sites.

Bring Irish Troops home from Lebanon and Darfur. The Republic needs to become Non-Interventionist, possibly even Isolationist.

Glen who? I know of a Ted Glen who used to hang out in Greendale, God know's where he is now though?

Blame Sidebottom

Or, as my Friends from Ballinderry call him, Sidearse. 

RTE is a deliberate attempt to patronise Culchies (Winning Streak, Killinascully, etc).

I might head over for that, since it's for a good cause.

I have no ill will against Derry as I put Club before County. Besides, I went to St. Pius until 5th Year and the Convent to do A'Levels so I have plenty of Derry Friends.

I remember reading the Book 'History of the GAA in Tyrone' written during the Centenary Year (1984) and read that Moortown had a Hurling side which won the Derry League during the Early 70's.

Didn't Pearse McAleer (or even one of his Brothers) play on that side? Also, did any Ardboe man play for them (God forbid)?

Also, thanks to the joys of Wikipedia, I found out that The Loup had a Hurling side which won TWO Derry Championships during the Mid/Late 60's. I was talking to Joey 'Long Kesh' Corey about this at the Loup Club's Bar prior to a Table Quiz last Year. He said the Father of the Himpheys from Dungiven played on that side (he lived in Magherafelt then).
