Didnt John Hartson get booed at windsor due to his celtic connections?
Can't comment about Hartson  but in the  one and only time I have been  in Windsor park , the North were playing Switzerland and Ramon Vega got abuse from sections of the crowd as he was with Celtic at the time,

I was at that game too. It was in April 1998. That was extremely perceptive of Northern Ireland fans as Vega didn't go on loan with Celtic until December 2000. Mind you, myth and reality does get a bit mixed up sometimes, doesn't it?

QuoteOne example - was it not you who thought it was good enough for Trevor Brennan to gub an Ulster Rugby fan, just because he was an Ulster Rugby Fan?
No.  I probably said it was good enough for the fan if he was giving Brennan abuse which he was widely reported to have been at the time.
I also think Cantona was right when he karate kicked yon p***k that was giving him abuse too so by dislike isnt for Ulster Rugby fans, it's for silly c***ts that go to any sporting event to shout abuse at players and who think they are hard men.

Quote"As bad as Tyronies are". What does that mean?
ffs red it was tongue in cheek! I know there are a unreal amount of posters on this board who can't tell when someone is joking but I didn't think you were one of them.
What's wrong with you, is it nerves?  ;)


Was it f**k. It was alleged by a few but never widely reported.

Question 1 yes.
Fair enough.

QuoteQuestion 2 yes.
I asked what your point was and you say yes?  ???


You come across as very intolerant and bitter yourself.

In what way?

this "i dint like your flag, take it down" has a habit of getting out of hand. We had the same sort of thing in work, it ended up with complaints being made about a type of jeans which had the shape of the union jack on it, but not the colours, it was ridiculous


It is ridiculous most times, but because of ridiculous people a line has to be drawn and enforced or we end up listening to whiney bastards whining all the time.

Read the thread.  


I have done. I want you to quote where I defended whoever made the complaint.
You defended the "neutral working environment" which is the same thing.
So rather than the thread get bogged down with this just answer the simple question - do you think the person complained was/is a bitter c**t? Yes or no?

And when you answer that you can answer my last question
QuoteAre you talkingabout me?  There are an awful lotof people I'm intolerant towards but it isn't on the base of religon/political opinion or what sport the like so what's you're point?


A neutral working environment is the same thing- ooooooookkkaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy......

Question 1 yes.

Question 2 yes.

Where I work, their are people with Northern Ireland soccer emblems on their jackets. No one cares, as it should be.

Nail on head there Ziggy. We should be in a position where we can respect each-others beliefs, but we are not in certain cases. I would personally be all for the display of sporting insignia and good natured banter but some people are not good natured and probably never will be. The fact that some of the most intolerant people I have ever came across are branding others bitter c***ts is putting a wry smile on my face. :)

You've defended him throughout this thread SK, so has evil genius which speak volumes about you both.

A neutral working environment is fine (though it's not something I agree with) but something like this takes it to the absoloute extreme - and it's a case of some bitter c**t hiding behind a law to be a c**t.

Point it out where I have defended him genius.

QuoteA lot of people are missing the point here when they are discussing this. Sporting emblems have as big a capacity to cause grief in the workplace as the old sectarian arguments here. There are some very deep rivalries over the water which could really sour a working environment eg Birmingham/Villa, Newcastle/Sunderland, Man Utd/Man City and a host of others. All clubs right next door to each other were supporters are likely to work together, and with fans with a reputation of kicking the crap out of eachother at derby games. As far as I am aware there are bitter rivalries in the Eircom League as well. What would the argument be for differentiating between clubs or sports? The only sensible solution is a total ban.
Well as bad as Tyronies are I don't recall any incidents of them anyone getting their head kicked in by a fellow gaa fan for having a flag on their car so what's your point?
The only answer to this incident isthat some bitter c**t has nothing better to do and those on here defending him are showing themselves up to be just the same.


I don't see anyone defending whoever made the complaint. I am defending the concept of a neutral working environment. That is not the same thing - it is what protects us from bitter wee c***ts from the nationalist and unionist communities taking offence at every available opportunity.

As for Derek Hussey wearing an NI coat, he wasn't exactly in the workplace (apart from his own) so that argument is nothing short pathetic. The case of the poppy has been ran past the Equality Commission but if anyone takes offence to it they are free to put in a complaint.

The below is taken from the BBC website. I think all workspaces should be neutral- no war memorials in Council chambers no pictures  of the Enniskillen bomb victims-no GAA flags NOTHING-I bet we won't see Arlene Foster supporting this lady the way she and Lord Humpty Dumpty (Morrow) mouthed of about the picture in Enniskillen fire station



A civil servant has been ordered to remove a Tyrone GAA flag from her car after a complaint from a colleague in Strabane.

The incident happened on Wednesday, when her car was parked at the town's benefits office on Urney Road.

The Social Security Agency said it had taken the decision because of a legal duty to maintain a neutral workplace.

However, Aodhan Harkin, of Sigersons GAA Club in Strabane, said a Tyrone flag was in no way offensive.

"I thought we had started to move on in this country," he said.

"We accept everybody else's cultures but we can't accept our own.

"I think there's something drastically wrong if somebody's offended by a Tyrone flag."


Ordered by who to take it down? ::). No one would have legal right to order to take it off, its not on the list of illegal flags. The car is her property. So i would just of said f*ck off with pleasure to whoever asked me to take it down ;D.

And the car-park is government property which is bound by flags and emblems legislation.

Local sports teams should not be included in this concept, a person should be able to indicate their support for a team in their own  area. The Celtic, Rangers tripe is largely about politics and not sport, but they are not local and they could be prohibited.


Bullshit. A line has to be drawn and that should be included in local sports. Sadly we are a bit away from mutual tolerance. Linfield and Donegal Cletic are local teams and I would not want that crap in my workplace. The SSA is right to ban all flags and emblems from the workplace, as should any employer.

I was actually in The Dubliner on Saturday, although not when the bother started thank God. The "security" in question were actually far-right Mafia enforcers who work the whole of the city centre, not just any specific bar. I did see some of them later on elsewhere, but there were no high-vis bibs or anything like that - they were dressed in black bomber-jackets etc. At no point were ROI tri-colours ripped down, nor did I hear any sectarian chanting where I was or during the game. There were actually NI fans drinking in that bar later that day  :o. Personally I couldn't give the bastards another penny after calling thoses goon in to deal with what was just high spirits. It seemed at first sight to be a decent enough bar with nice food, with the usual tack that "Oirish" bars have all over the world. I would be surprised if there was actually any real Irish connection to the place - it struck me as just another gimmicky tourist trap.
The Mafia are huge in Bratislava and I would be shocked if there were any repercussions from this.
