GAA Discussion / Re: Murder of a GAA Chairman

You will have noticed that the LVF were generally unable to carry out any attacks in the Garvaghy Road and Tunnel areas of Portadown. They did once try to shoot up the Tír na nÓg clubhouse one night but apparently the gunman was shaking so much he missed the building. Billy Wright and his cohorts were very much protected and enabled by the RUC, everyone in Portadown was aware of this hence the RUC couldn't guarantee easy access and exit from any of the nationalist areas of town. As an aside Robert Hamill's mother died this week without seeing any justice for her son's murder.

Performances over the last month or so have resembled a lot of last season

Bohemian Rhapsody - just a weird, bonkers but brilliant tune. Has to be at 1

I Want To Break Free

A winters Tale - I really enjoyed their  Made in heaven album , released  after Freddie died.  Im far from Queen's biggest fan , but that song   was  like a poem  by Freddie from beyond the grave.  Really haunting  song with  great vocals

Can Cavan beat Monaghan? No, of course not.
Can Donegal beat Derry? No, don't be ridiculous.
Can Down surprise Armagh on Saturday? Hello no. Put your house and future salary on the orangemen.

Only thing for sure is that there are no winners, but hopefully justice is service.

As I said before, it is hard to see how you can prove something 20 years ago beyond reasonable doubt, I doubt there were witnesses other than his wife.

Hearing other cases the PPS didn't prosecute due unlikelihood of conviction even when there is evidence, they must feel there's a high chance of conviction based on what ever evidence they have. No?

I've no idea myself - I'm doing a lot of reading between the lines and may well be getting it wrong.

Today was the 1st appearance. I'd be shocked if the PPS even have the full file yet let alone have made a decision. It would be unusual for them to have the full file yet particularly if the allegations only surfaced in March.

Ha ha ha, again

Delaney article

What's amusing you?

I'd be very concerned about the state of Everton FC, historically a top club, if I was a fan of theirs. Other big clubs have fallen through the floor due to mismanagement.

Nothing against them myself. I hope they get straightened out.

Biggest victory since the 1995 FA Cup?

I think they'd a few last day escapes in the interim, so not quite that high on their honour roll.

Administration may still be looming according to Miguel Delaney today.

After tonight's results I'd say they'd be happy to drop a division or two

Is this the guy that Spurs were in for prior to Big Ange, if memory serves, he turned them down.

So he's smart at any rate.

[he'd have no shame]

If he's guilty of what he's alleged to be guilty of then he'd have no shame so wouldn't bat an eyelid about victims. If he's not no reason he shouldn't be in public life.

A completely mad one. Could be staring at a lengthy enough jail term. Who knows what way it will pan out.

Hadn't thought of it like that, but I guess that's right.

Agree with other posters though - innocent until proven otherwise.
