All I have done is show that Sid is hollow and insincere with his rhetoric.
It's not my fault he lacks emotional maturity and while he should certainly be banned, I should not.
Sure when Warrington and 100 other massacres happened SF's response was to have a cry about the BritsHard core Shinners from NI are no different to parrots who can't deviate from ideology or the vocabulary even when it or they conflict with reality.NI based posters here continually exhibit a superiority complexMy take is straight down the lineShinners have engaged in whataboutery for their entire existenceThought Shinners would have welcomed the violence last night
Shure didn't they do that for 30 years!
Lots of Twitter talk of retaliations tonight

Arlene Foster's tactic last night was straight out of the Sinn Fein playbook
You'd think NI Irish nationalists would applaud NI British Unionist adoption of SF tactics, it's a compliment if anything - Unionists see how SF tactics have dragged public debate down into the gutter, and they want some of that
NI Irish nationalists certainly can't complain about that
The two sides are well matched
I just feel for the very large section of the NI community who don't want to be part of either "side"
The solution is to get rid of both the DUP and SF through the ballot box and elect reasonable people rather than two parties who groom vulnerable working class youth into criminality, who act like vultures on their communities
That's a certainly skewed outlook on what has happened in the past up here but not surprising. I really don't know where to start.
That must have been some bang on the head you received back in the day.
Northerners insulting people from the Republic has become a common sight on this forum of late, so thanks again for the latest installment of that
For a long time I've warned that rabble rousing for a border poll will cause nothing but trouble in NI
This is continuously disputed by most NI Irish nationalists on this forum, who have consistently underestimated the potential for violence and seem to exist in a fantasy world where NI British Loyalists and Unionists will simply suck it up and take it
And obviously DUP and Loyalist rabble rousing will cause nothing but trouble, like, duh
The thing that annoys a lot of NI Irish nationalists is that reasonable people from the Republic with an interest in the situation in NI can generally read it a lot better than most NI Irish nationalists - because we can sit back and observe with a degree of dispassion and actually see what's going on, whereas a lot of youse can't see the wood for the trees - too much emotional investment, siloed lives, existing in echo chambers, it tends to cloud judgement
Poor Sid suffers from a real superiority complex. We know better than you. A year ago his posts, while wafflely in the extreme, used to hold some valid points. Of late, he just wants to get into a row. Very like the callers to Nolan.
Like bald men boasting they've found a comb
"Youse in the Free State have no right to an opinion but you've also no right to not have an opinion which doesn't tally exactly with mine"
The situation is too.complex for ideology because it requires nuance and only Stoops can do that.
Loyalists wrecking the place and your only contribution to the thread since last night has been to have a yap about SF. Yawn.
Our own lads took a go at it too on the Springfield Rd
Of course they were. Loyalists organised a protest to take place at an interface gate. It was only inevitable that hoods from the other side of the fence would respond. So my original point stands. If you witnessed last nights violence and your only response is to have a cry about SF, then it says a lot about you.
No false allegations from me, mateFAO of Snapchap: Are you calling for Angelo to be banned?
If not, why not?
Because you were calling for that other poster to be banned last night for putting up pictures from another forum, so clearly you consider such to be out of bounds
Now, walk the walk and call for Angelo to be banned
You accused me of being "into dead children" and made a false allegation that another poster accused you of child rape. Stop trying to engage with me, you lowlife.
ive heard news of loyalists taking down a tri color in the small hours of the morning in a northern republican strongholdTaking down themmuns' flegs in interface areas has always been a problem in NI
Where will you be?A friend phoned me to say he was working beside Lanark Way (on the Shankill Side) when 2 carloads of adult heavies appeared to tell the business to close immediately, vacate the area. About 1.30pm today. Looks like there is a clear plan to escalate rioting and unrest in a big way tonight and over the next few days.
Dozens of businesses were being "advised" to close by these bullies.
Surely the police know about this now, well in advance of what will unfold tonight. Nothing "sporadic" about what's going on...this is an unadulterated properly orchestrated show of menace from loyalist paramilitaries that is being allowed to unfold in daylight without any resistance from the so called authorities.
Time for nationalist community leaders to demonstrate a dignified response by showing it can actually control their areas. Maintain the moral upper hand and do not fall for the trap of contributing to the mayhem, because that is exactly what their plan is.
Where will the PSNI be when it inevitably kicks off again and when these loyalist gangs come to interface areas trying to get things going?
Ahhhh f**k.

It looks increasingly like this is all part of an orchestrated political strategy, stoke the flames, build the rhetoric but keep enough distance so that you can plead ignorance. The row over social distancing breaches at a funeral 9 months ago provided them with some political cover but it was simply a smokescreen for their true objective.
I think the actions of the DUP during the last week has blown their cover. They are attempting to use loyalists as cover to further their political aims. They will try and suck in nationalists to retaliate so that the the media report violence from both sides in the interest of 'balance'.
It can all be dated back to this meeting, would like to have been a fly on the wall there.

I’m not sure about the use of “strategy” here.
Unionism’s single biggest problem is that their endgame isn’t just a pipe dream, it’s physically impossible. The things that would make them happy: British rule with highly conservative values, an endless supply of skilled manual labour jobs, and most importantly, a minority group in their region to tread upon at any given opportunity, would require a time machine and a return to circa 1950 or so.
As it’s not possible to devise a strategy to fulfil these wishes, anything they’re currently getting up to is little more than an attention seeking ploy.
Like the school bully with no friends, who has kind of realised everyone else in his class has got a little bigger and might swing back at him, they’re currently showing their strength by picking on those who won’t fight back. It’s little more than that. They don’t want an actual real fight, because if the bigger lads from the next form feel the need to step in, they’re probably going to take a proper hiding.
In the sense that they are devoid of any long term strategy I agree totally. The very visible brand of Ulster Loyalism which is setting the agenda for them at present is as alien to much of Britain (whom they cling dearly to) as it is Ireland. It's a mindset deeply ingrained within much of the Ulster Unionism psyche, this need to exert dominance and superiority. Due to a change in demographics the state is no longer providing them with this security to rule in the way that they want and they are lashing out.
To any outsider looking in it must seem bizarre to witness the scenes of the last week. It is 17th century stuff. Masked men parading in streets holding flags, beating drums and blowing flutes and then sending youths out to protest & riot against the police whom they have turned into the temporary bogeymen. Its mindless stuff but they just go deeper down the rabbit hole.
