That's your credible evidence?
As I said, there's pretty strong evidence.....it's up to you whether you believe it or not

Where is this strong evidence because it certainly isn't in the links you posted

How is it subjective

What if the hunger strikers had been IRA/INLA members who "murdered" people? 

Would the  family members of their victims not be entitled to object?

Casements name came up.....there's some pretty credible evidence that he sexually abused minors?

I'm sure victims of sexual abuse would find it abhorrent that a stadium is named after a paedophile!

Who gets to decide what is objectionable and what isn't?

Is it a conversation for the club members or is it a conversation for the broader community?

What's the credible evidence that casement abused minors

So what about the clubs in the 6 counties, named after INLA members and Hunger Strikers

I'm sure many people in the broader community would find those names objectionable......should they be changed?

What about a club or county logo that promotes one religion over another?  Should new logos and crests be mandated?

(I could be mistaken, but naming clubs after Nationalist icons was very common in the early years of the organization-so the older the club, the more likely they would have such an association)

At least you could argue Kevin Lynch was a member of the club.

Mitchel died 23 years before the GAA was founded. I doubt Roger Casement or Countess Markievicz were big sports fan, and had hee haw to do with Belfast or Sligo. I think the arbitrary nature of naming may come home to roost.

Plenty of religious iconography in other sports, do they have the same arguments? St Pats spring to mind, catholic iconography on their crest too. I think thats maybe more a county argument, clubs don't necessarily have to be as inclusive.

By the way, if this new East Belfast club names themselves after Carson or Cromwell nobody who thinks names are just namrs can object.
Maybe they should go the whole hog and name it after Lenny Murphy, Billy Wright or Soldier F. Would give it that lived experience feel, given that all were "active" within many people's lives and memories. Be interesting if only to see the reaction here.

Clubs should only be named after local figures, preferably with some form of connection to hbe sport.

Billy Wright actually played Gaelic football, so that's that sorted.

The Billy Wright thing. Wasn't that just a myth

Yeah sorry I forgot about the other one being involved now.

I mentioned it because isn't there doubts about just how fair she was when she was competing

Ross Tucker does some interesting stuff on the sports stuff.

Radcliffe doesn't believe in the fairness aspect but is happy enough to take nikes money. Go figure.

Paula Radcliffe?

Well deserved

LOL. Well teachers should stay away from Gym classes, and shops and coffee takeaway places. All the gaffs that I have met teachers over this past few weeks. It's laughable, it really is.
A child's education is paramount. It is the very definition of key work.

And what gym classes have you seen teachers at recently. Or anyone for that matter

Key difference is that kids are not forced to do KS4, or at least, in its current guise.

For example, what is the point in trying to teach someone differentiation when they'll obviously never use it?


Basic English & Maths - applied where possible - within vocational courses is a much better fit.

Most people who are taught differentiation will never use it imo

Most people won't be taught differentiation. It's on the A Level syllabus

To the person and people who called me a fvckin dickhead, B Special, UDR member and a descendant of Captain Boycott for not equating the actions of the rioters and looters with the victims of Bloody Sunday take a look at this clip. I already put up a clip of looters riding around in a stolen Rolls Royce but this takes the (dog) biscuit. Guy broke into a rescue and stole a dog and then supposedly strangled it

Where is the footage of the guy breaking into the animal rescue? Where is footage of him strangling the dog? Is the dog even dead?

Whitey, why are you comparing Police Brutality to Gang related shootings?

I read as far as the myth of systematic police racism and stopped. Didn't need to go any further

50 secret services agents were injured during a riot  and the president had to huddle in a secure bunker over the weekend due to the level of violence

In my opinion  the authorities displayed extraordinary restraint in how they dealt with these clowns

You don't have a f**king clue and your avowing your Irish ancestry with that shite.

50 people don't get injured during a protest.....they get injured during a RIOT......big difference

So was it the same in Bloody Sunday in Derry?


Quote from: whitey on June 02, 2020, 11:17:40 AM
Those protesters were directed to move and they didn't, so too bad

Next up, just shoot them eh? Stops them assembling somewhere else doesn't it you fascist p***k.

Bloody Sunday my hole

These are Antifa and Anarchists and should be batoned off the streets

And that reply just tells us everything we need to know about you

When the Hong Kong authorities were gassing and hammering lumps out of the students and protestors there over a change in their laws, the UK, US and loads of other countries were very publically voicing their concerns over their treatment.

US do this to their own people and it's an internal matter.

The rioters and lotters are wrong and the police have every right to protect properties but the likes of the peaceful demonstrations outside the Whitehouse getting gassed off the streets was on the same level as what happened in Hong Kong.
