In life its good to have some things which are constant and this is no different both Tony and Brian are cocks.

I would be interested to see the reaction of some nationalist/republican parents and posters if the Queen or other Royal Family members went to visit a catholic school in say polegalas,s twinnbrook etc?.

Perhaps or perhaps not, but were the ROI governments not guilty of discrimination against some of their "nationals" when they did claim jurisdiction over Northern Ireland pre-GFA?

Apart from Prods, Knackers, Gays, Unmarried Mothers, a few Blacks, Jews etc. I don't think discrimination was ever a problem since the Constitution was made law.

Man of peace i suspect thats stretching credibility a little far he may have played a rule in pushing the Ira down the road of peace but why did it take so long for him to do that almost a generation of violence has warped N Ireland caused by people who thought it was right and proper to kill and maim for their cause and everyside is included in that so i wont pass him any sympathy then neither would i pass on any sympathy to Ian Paisley when he meets his maker.

Catholic people from derry,belfast,tyrone,and large parts of Armagh.
Prods from Belfast,Coleraine.
And all Linfield and Coleraine fans

Strangely enough most ballymena fans want DC to beat Coleraine. (match is being played in the showgrounds)

Great game only in the irish league could you get a meat joint chucked onto the pitch and fans chasing the players down the tunnell.

[No partition is hear to stay for some time]

There are acts of war and there are acts of terrorism (and let's face it that auld hoor was very quick to use the latter description on Irish people) but her authorisation of the sinking of the Belgrano and the subsequent loss of over 200 Argentinian lives is murder plain and simple.

How she saw fit to back Pinochet is beyond my understanding.  She was the Leader of British State-sponsored terrorism wherever in the world it dragged it's blood-soaked mitts.  I for one am holding off on the party but the momentum is building.  And to make it worse the feckin Aussies are singing her praises.   FFS, cut the apron strings.

She was the Leader of British State-sponsored terrorism wherever in the world it dragged it's blood-soaked mitts, I will give you that, but are you delighted at the thought she might croak it or do you feel that is a step too far?

To me the biggest insult we could give her is to ignore her.

I look at her 15-16 years in office nmore from the impact she had on the north, the hunger strikers situation i blame her on and that was unforgivable in itself, but she did make some very interesting comments on us as a race and she had no time at all for the irish.

I am not one for dancing on anyones grave, we are all dead long enough but I put the bitch that is thatcher in the same class as paisley, and that is an arrogant, ignorant bufoon that destroyed the fabric of the society wherin they lived.

First and foremost if argentina hadnt invaded the falkland islans the Belgrano wounldnt have been sunk,in war you play by the big boys rule.

As for your other comments havnt laughed as much since Sf signed upto a Stormont assembly under british rule.

The war is over hawks, SF are now a bona fide political entity who hold real sway in the norths political arena, in order to bring their aim of a united Ireland into being they decided to attack the brits from a political perspective, they seem to be doing a good job with that  so far, wouldnt you say?

Yep, your posts above really tells me you cracked up laughing alrite. 

So Sf are now a bona fide political party what were they previously? Im sure The leadership of Sf would be interested in that analysis.
As for attacking the brits politically,by signing upto Stormont which administers BRITISH rule is hardly going to end partition.
Added to sf dismal showing in the last irish election which should have suited them.
No partition is hear to stay for some time you can dress it up any way you like that is a reality.

thats pathetic tony, what ever happened to never, its now down to some time. they dint make unionists like they used to thats for sure and i wont even start on the drooling fool thats about to depart

Its not pathetic there is a very real possibility that in the future a majority of the people of Northern would want a united ireland and if that happened as a democrat i would respect that.
As for M thatcher i have a real admiration for her only once in a generation does a leader come who changes the political landscape;

1 Enforced Nationalisation of companies is no longer a welcome option Northern Rock being an example of this,the dithering of Gordon Brown proves this.

2 Cant win elections by saying that you will increase tax to provide better services.Labour in 1992 learnt this very hard lesson.

3 Rebuilt British foreign policy which had retreate year in and out since the suez debacle.

4 Gave people the opportunity to buy thier council homes at a decent price.

Encouraged an Enterprise culture.

As for Northern Ireland she did make mistakes incidents happened which brought no credit to none.However to suggest she had blood on her hands is very facile and for claiming she ignorantly took on the unions no hers was the democratically elected govt and the unions were trying to challenge that fact

Saw an interview with peter the punt in the sunday times and he said it will be difficult to continue power sharing with sinn fein when he is installed as leader

He is just keeping the dup hardliners on board,no stormont is here to stay with our useless ministers running us rather than some tory or labour useless minister.

One of the fellas where I work is Kosovan working for a Croatian who would happily employ any class, creed or colour EXCEPT Serb.  Any way the Kosovan went hyper yesterday at the news of independence being joined by the Croats and Bosnians in a great party.  To see his face and sheer unbridled joy was a pure pleasure.  Good luck to him and his countrymen, as there are going to be many long years ahead.

Got me thinking about the immense party there will be all over the world when we get our reunification.

Dont hold your breath then again...

"Bassett told the New Zealand Herald: "You'd have thought a little town in Ireland would be rather proud that one of their people went off to New Zealand and became prime minister."

Yeah we're really proud we spanned a raving supremacist bigot and sent him overseas on am imperialist mission to lord it over the native Māori.

Donagh obviously your grasp of this gentlemans history is quite slight however this seems to be par for the course for you btw do you find the hunger strikers feature in dungiven to be example of creating good community relations in the borough of limavady.?

Was Wardy not to blame for Ballymena's third goal in the 4-2 game.  Haven't got across to see him playing yet, but will do sometime.  Good to see that he is doing well, but he will be welcome back to Antrim if he wants. Still gets the odd game for Sarsfields.

He was but mind you most of our defence chipped in with crapness that day, as against Cliftonville. I think Sean should be an asset in the Glens side for years to come. (and more chance of silverware than playing for Anrim I would think )

McCabe would be in the Fermanagh panel (see link below) if he could commit. He may play later in the year. His father is a former Fermanagh manager.

Micheal Ward has just signed for Ballymena utd,we used to have a great wee player called stephen o`neill decided to go back to tyrone may have won some minor trophies with them...

Interesting, didn't know that. Didn't see his debut for the Glens at Armagh but from what I hear were it not for Hamilton's hat-trick, McCabe would've been a cert for man of the match.

Not that it's been mentioned on any of the news services yet but the great British pound has fallen to 75p to the Euro recently. Normally I would glory in HRM taking a kicking in any sphere except that I'm in the process of booking flights around Central and South America for this summers sojourn with her good self and the carriers I'm using, Air France and Iberia, are pricing their fares in Euro. Have also a number of very substantial Free State invoices to settle soon. So should I hold out as long as I can and wait on the Euro dipping again, or has sterling finally given up the ghost?

It's all about interest rates at the minute.  The Bank of England's decision to leave interest rates where they are has been the main factor in pushing down the value of English money.  It's not likely to come back significantly against the Euro in the short-term.  The strengthening euro is just another nail in the coffin of the Celtic Tiger and will hit our exports signficantly.  Obviously it's good news for the UK economy, and particularly good for Northern ireland.
