IRA Undefeated apparently and brits are bad drivers....

Aye you're right, sectarian slaughter is f**king hilarious. 

That was never condoned on this thread.

5Times said that the IRA didn't go far enough and that they should have targetted kids on street corners (presumably even more than they already did) and you made a joke out of it.

No he didn't and neither did I.

[Donagh]

My post was in response to the one deleted by 5Times, not the one you referred to. As he has since deleted that post to protect his anonymity, I'll be respecting that and not referring to it again – as I have done in the past when other contributors have been "outted" – including two or three from OWC.

Humblest apologies he said young lad not kid.

5ive Times did.
IMHO the IRA didnt go far enough, they tried to use legitimate targets such as Police, Army and genuine Loyalists, not some young lad standing on a street corner.

No need to be so lazy
the obvious interpretation is that the IRA did not go that far

Has anybody read the Operation Banner?

I got up to page 40 so far.
I don't know what's new
Says that the RUC were ill equipped to deal with the Burntollet ambushers.  
Says the Faulkner pulled the strings to introduce Internment - strongly opposed by the Army.

Yeah that was very obvious.

Could mean a lot of things nifan, as I often heard republicans before the ceasefires offering opinions on what the IRA should or should not do. I already offered my interpretation of what he said on the other page and I'm not going to try and read his mind on it.

You certainly sound like one, but thanks for confirming it.

To SammyG et al.

My comments have been distorted by many of you so I will make them clear for you.

How the fcuk can your comments be distorted. You said the IRA didn't go far enough, that's black and white, no need for distortion

The IRA didnt normally attack ordinary Protestant civilllians. In cases like Kingsmill I feel (and the important bit here is that these are my own personal feelings) that although these deaths were a terrible event, they actually worked no more Catholics were killed in South Armagh since. Job Done.

Even if tht sickening logic was correct how would you explain Bloody Friday or La Mon or Enniskillen etc etc etc

Now you can take my comments as you wish, but it seems that you are happy enough that Loyalists murdered innocent Catholics on street corners, in their places of work and in their homes, they rarely targetted IRA members or indeed Republicans. Their motto was and correct me if Im wrong "any taig will do". If that sits ok with you, then dont pass comment on my views.

When has anybody said they are happy with Loyalist attrocities? So called Loyalist paramilitaries are scum who are more interested in drug dealing and pimping than they are in politics. There only loyality is crime as somebody once said.

[the Deel Rover]

i never get involved in any of these political threads but why is sammgy g  on a gaa board if he dislikes "the other side so much" he allways has the last word so you should just ignore him and let him write to himself.Before you say anything like what would i know about the troubles sammy g, my parents Relations have lived in the bogside all their lives and one of their children was killed by a ruc vehicle so i know plenty about the troubles and the hurt people have felt.However i feel very lucky to live in the south where i have loads of protestant and catholic friends and where religion doesn't matter.

[GweylTah]

The quite deliberate murders of Protestant civilians at, for example, Enniskillen and Darkley, and the singling-out by the IRA of only sons of Protestant farmers near the border gives the lie to that attempt at rewriting history from 5Times, who was bragging earlier.

As to the massacre of Protestants at Kingsmills (while any Catholics were spared) putting an end to the killings of Catholics, that's nonsense, too.  The Provos killed dozens of Catholics in south Armagh/south Down over the years.

to a certain extent I would have agreed with you a number of years ago- and at times I half thought about it that maybe it would be giving 'them' (colluding brit/ruc/unionist/loyalist death squads etc) a bit of their own medicine by changing the modus operandi from selecting military targets to picking indiscriminate innocents like the colluding death squads /army and ruc did.
(yes I know the IRA killed some of their own and also innocents - but the MO was not to do this).
But I am glad that the IRA decided not to do so and maintained themselves as a cut above the low life that tried to use every dirty trick in the book to defeat the Oglaigh na heireann - but as the brit army has admitted - could never do so!

Things have moved on , so there is no point in debating in revisionist history with the well known forked tongues of dup loving unionism !
let them say what they want. Apartheid and oppression in the six counties has been beaten, we are on the road to a united country so remember to be gracious in victory !

[Tonto]

Some serious double standards on the part of some northern members here:

Gweyltah's posts bring a hail of condemnation and statements of intent to filter out his contributions, while 5Times' wish that the IRA had not shown restraint and confined themselves to "legitimate" targets is ignored.

Well I have to admit, 5Time's comment did sit a little uneasy with me.

But yet you blocked GweylTah.

Just like other posters here.

It's OK to condone IRA violence, but not OK to say that they were defeated.

Disgusting.
