[probably trying to avoid the usual sectarian trap]

What should they do then?

A good start might be to call on the DUP to go into government rather than aiming their anger at CHH.

are they not blaming both?

Not really, the DUP have gotten away quite lightly from the unions IMO, probably trying to avoid the usual sectarian trap, but in this instance it's either CHH who doesn't give a flying fúck about this place or the DUP who believe if they hold out for long enough the UK Government are going to magically change an international trade agreement they have with the EU!

I could see how that is the case but there is more to it than that as well. The reason for the DUP not going into Stormont (the reason they are giving nor the real reason) is totally unrelated to the public sector pay increase and today's strike. The only person trying to link them is CHH. He is holding the DUP to ransom with another man's money. The other man is protesting about that today.
So, while the majority on this forum believe the DUP are wanchors and should return, it could still very well be a legitimate position for someone to feel that they are right not to return until "Act of Union blah blah" AND believe that public pay increases should be implemented.

I think there is certainly anger towards both but as pointed out above, CHH has the money in his hand and instead of giving it to those who he "agrees need it", he's playing politics with it against a bundle of backward buffoons. Quite obviously there's going to be a heap of anger coming his way.

Because "agreeing that they need fair pay" isn't much use to those who need it?

4 Belfast schools in McLarnon 1/4 finals. Surely that's a good sign?

Are you including Knock?

As a Belfast school? I imagine so...

What did your wife say when you asked her?

Sort of the reverse of what Enda Gormley was at 10-15 years ago. Stopped Glen minors playing for their school as they were preparing for the Ulster minor tournament.
