It Must be Marching Season

There's tractor runs in South Armagh. I wouldn't imagine it's solely a Protestant thing.

No he never because he got his quote of Bell's words wrong and therefore was repeating and repeating a statement to Bell that he never said and left him off the hook. If he had got the quote right and pressed him on it, it would have been quite effective.

There is no compromise. Never has been and never will be.

By the sounds of it johnny bell took one too many knocks on the head on the rugby pitch.

New psni guy not too happy with politicians.

Is that the same Jonny Bell as played rugby for Ulster and is not Director at Ravenhill?

Bell did say it and carruthers was correct to challenge him on it. It was a flipant threat.
When challenged,Bell weaselled down and refused to repeat it.

Bell wont be in that situation in the near future. His ability  to perform under pressure was seriously questioned and he reverted to childish behaviour of  constant interupting.

Twitter commentary during the show  was very good. Its the only way to watch some of these shows

negatory....this clown, who, as Curruthers mentioned last night,will, along with the other head unionist men, head back to their comfortable safe surrounds whilst the working class loyalists will fight on the streets

Ah - always thought it was.... d'oh!!

Twitter commentary is better to avoid throwing stuff at the tv...

I had always wondered as but had never researched it until now. The Rugby player is now a PE teacher in Campbell.

I was trying to explain to a few Dubs and a Cork lad this week what it tends to be like around the 12th up North. I was amazed how many of them hadn't a clue what it was like

If you had to summarise it all to a stranger what would you say?

Like Witness Festival - Awesome Bands, Lots of drink and the hottest birds on the planet.
Unfortunately there is no Hare Krishna tent to burn at the end.

If you're anywhere near Belfast half the roads you go down are inaccessible on the day itself and going out on the 11th is a no no...

If you go out in the evening of the 12th in your car the roads in marching areas will be full of very drunk people going down the middle of the road and looking at you threateningly for driving down their road. It is actually quite intimidating.

When you go to go anywhere in belfast, on my route anyway, on a saturday leading up to 12th you are likely to get detoured.

That aside it's great...

[Jeepers Creepers]

Gerry Adams on the news there saying there'll be more people at the All Ireland that causing mayhem on the street. Let's hope this isn't red rag to a bull
