It Must be Marching Season

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

oh good jaysus- the aparthid state and genocidal tendencies was actually the taigs/nationalists/IRA etc now (as opposed to the establishment status quo and their hate filled oppressors and death dealers as in the crown forces/security forces/army/unionist and loyalist paramilitary squads)!!
what fantastic revisionism.

Lynchbhoy, have you not accepted that the problems here in the north all stem from pesky fenians not knowing their place and complaining too much. The utopia that was "Ulster" (sic) pre 1969 was a land of milk and honey, tranquility and fairness, if we could only return to those times things would be so much better.

....many a true word spoken in jest and all that....
a lot of the unionist/loyalist people just dont want to accept and move on...
they'd much rather resume the campaign to beat the taigs out of the six counties again...

I have no idea what leo's requote of LBs post is suppose to mean?  Can someone enlighten me

[fitzroyalty]

Think he is hinting at revisionism on LB's part.

A dissident football manager: Paddy O'Rourke/Banty

ditto

Apparently the threat specifically mentions that the ballad group "will be shot if we can't march".

Nothing to do with OO of course, not a thing.

Yes completely unrelated!

I wonder how many fines there will be for on-street drinking tonight and tomorrow in Belfast? Had to drive through Lisburn Road area last year and if the cops were doing their job they would have cleaned up.

Zero...this would be yet another attack on Orange culture. And would require Wee Wullie to go and get yet another apology.

Would it not be the same on St Patrick's Day around the Holylands and in the city centre?

Screw you and your even-handed approach. You have no place in this thread.

I suppose these were Loyalists masquerading as Nationalists:

Twenty-two police officers are being treated for injuries following serious overnight rioting in west Belfast.

Four PSNI officers remain in hospital.

Crowds of up to 200 nationalists threw over 40 petrol bombs and masonry at officers in riot gear.

51 plastic baton rounds were fired in the Broadway and Oldpark areas of the city when police lines came under attack.

A water cannon was deployed during the disturbances at Broadway.

Police are investigating reports that gunshots were fired in the area.

The trouble flared during loyalist celebrations to mark the height of the marching season.

The emergency services in Northern Ireland received a total of 180 fire calls over a seven-hour period up until 1am, representing a 65% increase over the same period last year.

At the peak of activity, they were processing one call every 75 seconds with the majority of these from within the greater Belfast area.

Fire crews from the Springfield Fire Station also came under attack in west Belfast from stone throwing youths but escaped injury.

Bout 28 seconds in.  Typical United supporters.

"Ronan Kerr, you're having a laugh"

It doesn't even make any sense, but I presume it was meant in a disrespectful or taunting way.

[The Gs Man]

Slightly before that ridiculous chant there's someone shouting "Come on United".  Wtf?

[Aerlik]

I must say, when I heard that this threat purported to come from the LVF, I was highly surprised. For there has never been an LVF in Fermanagh (nor UVF/UDA for that matter), as evidenced by that fact whilst the total number of murders in Fermanagh during the Troubles ran into three figures, a bare handful of these were attributed to "Loyalist" [sic] paramilitaries.

No, their "legitimate" facade did the deeds.  And one wonders just how much Ken Mcguinness knew.
