Joe can dish it out but not so keen the other way

Exactly the mans a bully. Can attack people like Mickey Harte, Marty Morrissey, Ronan Mullen etc that won't hit him back .

But as soon as McGregor gives him some back after Joe goes at him, he runs to his legal team and the Guards demanding prosecution. What a pathetic big baby that gives it out hard to people but won't take any response. Total bully that wants free reign to attack anyone he dislikes.

No wonder the media got rid of him

The IT revels in employing all manner of far-left lunatics - to the almost complete exclusion of any other voices. Time was when it carried a diversity of columnists and opinions, but now they all think the same.

she should have been sacked long ago anyway, she might be in trouble this time

I see Kitty Holland is in serious bother for comments on BBC last night attacking the grieving boyfriend of Ashling Murphy call for him to be censored, a bigot and inviting hatred etc.

Deeply evil comments from her, no idea how Irish Times can keep her on this time. She will likely be sued to high heaven the least she deserves.

People like her are everything wrong with this country.

no not advocating it i just wonder why it hasnt happened yet because the inla claim to be left wing socialists who want a 32 couunty socialist republic are far right groups not against that idea and in cahoots with britain first.


also do some of these dissident type groups have middle eastern members.

I know only one member of Saoradh and he is seriously on the outs with the local Sinn Fein people

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the dissidents sided with the Anti Immingration crowd to stick it to the Shinners

I don't think they have the numbers especially down south. And the truth is there far far more immigration in the Republic than the North.

That's the big chasm now. You can see it even on here with posters.

Who's paying for all these libel cases Sinn Fein and their members are taking against journalists and others?  Well into double figures apparently.

Maybe coming from this money?

Very strange that case

why have the dissidents remained quiet about Dublin riot as far as i am aware and irsp types too think they had a meeting in Strabane about immigration could the far right in ireland not have been dealt with if dissedents or irsps/inla types  went after them or gave them a warning to cease operations or do they have no power anymore or they too busy dealing drugs.

So you're advocating for  a paramilitary organization to identify/define  who is "far right" and then threaten them with death or serious bodily harm if they dont accept unlimited unvetted migrants not their communities?

Already happened once in Enniskillen and they mostly got away with it.

Those guys are dangerous because they are all touts and informants

Interesting the IRSP meeting about immigration. Not like they're far right, they're far Left. But these groups are so small now.

Dissidents mostly ran by MI5 at this point, attacked the National Party with knives last year in Enniskillen and somehow mostly got away with.

The reason is because there is no Dissidents left in the South, not least due to immigration harming their cause and all their followers deserting them.

You'll find many of the same folk from the 2006 Love Ulster riots are in "right wing" circles now. Times change, Ireland is a different country compared to then.

No more than McGregor he wasn't much addition!

Says the oddball that spends his days on here and online calling everyone far right, Nazis, fascists etc for anything he disagrees with.

I know Roscommon only got internet recently but get into the real world for a while and stop your abusive nonsense and holier than tho crap.

full moon having a bit of a nightmare in here.

I've never seen a forum beat-down like it.. Don't think he's been back since

Yeah one post,  I have a life not like some on here.

Have you a point to make or just snide remarks

Brollys a very nasty individual, really a loudmouth bully. Thinks everyone should adhere to his Far Left politics. He's supported People Before Profit.

RTE made the right call getting rid of him. Surprised Newstalk even give him a platform anymore, probably mates with that presenter.

Made a big error going after McGregor. He's a lot more in tune with peoples views here. Calling the Algerian terrorist a gentleman is just disgraceful.

Nobody cares what Brolly thinks anymore. Just another holier than thou arsehole.

They attacked a PBP meeting in Dublin last night as well.

I don't support PBP but they're entitled to have their meetings free from harassment by extremist xenophobic scumbags.

The National Party were attacked with knives in Enniskillen last year at a meeting by a bunch of Dissidents and far left Antifa types.

Wasn't much sympathy for them or police help. Guess that's okay to the usual mob on here.

It's not as far away as the griping above would make you believe.

There won't be a perfect system. There won't even be a close to perfect system. You can't stop stars aligning.

Three simple measures should be easy to implement across the board:

1. When a club wins its county's IFC or JFC, for the subsequent season, they must play at a higher championship level. This stipulation supersedes all localised competition rules.

2. If a club's senior league position at the end of any season, ranks them in 10th place or higher, then they must compete in their county's SFC the following season. This stipulation supersedes all localised competition rules.

3. If a club's senior league position at the end of any season, ranks them in 20th place or higher, then they cannot play in their county's JFC the following season. This stipulation supersedes all localised competition rules.


No. 1 is a no-brainer.

Nos. 2 and 3 could run into logistics issues in smaller counties, but in those cases the ranges could be adapted accordingly.

I know I know I know that in some in counties they don't take league football seriously. But you know what? There's clubs everywhere forking out a fortune for management teams and toys all year round. The least they could do in return is try harder in league football.

Good points but some counties obviously have more clubs. The issue I have with Cavan is they actually have 3 divisions , same as Tyrone and Monaghan.

How any Cavan man can come here and argue that it's totally fine their 3 representatives this year playing div 1 football had no bearing on the championship is talking through their hoop.

Is it fair that some clubs like Kilmacud have over 5,000 members and will likely will another All Ireland?

Is it fair that some clubs can pay inter county level managers payments likely reaching 6 figures?

Is it fair that some clubs can cherrypick players from weaker clubs without sanction?

Is it fair that Glenullin the Derry champs can win the Intermediate every year and remain Intermediate for 3 years?


All of that is happening especially with some of the bigger clubs

you cant really do muchabout the first one. It is what it is
Paying and cherry picking is something which shouldnt go on but does. Do cCP turn a blind eye?
How have they been able to do that? Surely if you win your int championship you play in senior the following year? Surely that is one which can be sorted out fairly quickly

Derry did not promote Intermediate winners from last year or this year. Which is very unusual
