Trailer you seem like an intelligent person, warped but intelligent none the less. WOuld it be fair to say that the IRA came out of Bloody Sunday with a renewed purpose and support? So peaceful protests and walks end up with regular human beings being shot? So if you can't protest, you can't vote fairly, you can't rent a house, what exactly was your solution? Walk with cap in hand to Westminster and ask politely for the above? You would have been laughed home. It is, was and always will be the only solution to the situation at the time.

He'd rather sit in his Ivory tower and cast judgement on Irish men and women who fought just like the Irish men and women before them. His refusal to say where he is from can only be translated to an admission that he certainly isn't from the North and didn't suffer under British occupation but will cast judgement on those from afar. He believes the IRA were the cause and that those in it got out of bed to blow babies up. Amadan

The IRA wasn't the cause but I personally don't know how someone can kill another human being in good conscience. The state was a mess but people are people. Squaddies for example, what was the point in killing them? Young lads from England or Wales or whatever who didn't know better. Just seemed utterly pointless.

These Dublin lads are fit as a fiddle but bloody hell can they kick a point from outside 30 yards?

Consider the great Tyrone team with decent conditioning versus the Dubs.


Kevin Hughes would rip Brian Fenton a new one in midfield. Conor Gormley would leave at least four players in tears before the game even started. Stevie O'Neill would kick a few ridiculous scores, Peter Canavan would score 2-8, Brian Dooher would run riot. Brian McGuigan would spray foot passes around the place and Ciaran Kilkenny would be like 'what's a kick pass???'. Up da ra.

If people don't like Mickey Harte, they're entitled to their opinion and there's plenty of Tyrone fans who feel he's stayed on too long.

But what really bothers me is the utterly toxic nonsense posted at the beginning of the season by a certain poster about Tyrone footballers. According to him, three players, whom I won't bother naming, had all jumped ship, and each and every post on that theme turned out to be unfabricated nonsense. At least treat the players with a bit of common decency.

So Arlene met Rory and the lads yesterday.
If she goes to the match then so be in.
Honesty hope the dup are not using the gaa again for a photo opportunity.
Think it would be a nice touch if the locals would recreate the road conditions that existed prior to the peace process.
Would be a nice walk.

The DUP and the Shinners are both at that craic in fairness, pretending to care about reconciliation. Probably still good for society so let them at it, I say.

She's painfully insecure, in both her recent tweets about Fermanagh she's been at pains to point out 'sure why would I know anything about the GAA'. I mean her flipping outfit, she's got a screw loose.

Yes can safely say Harte s biggest supporters would generally be middle class neo Catholic, SDLP types who would not have seen much action in the 30 year war.

What percentage of young men in Tyrone joined the IRA during the troubles? I'd guess one per cent. Well, except in Galbally.

It probably shows that she is just one of her ancestors kind - a planter who only loves power and not the land - once the power over the oppressed is gone whats the point of hanging around.

How anyone could hold on to leadership with how she performs is mind boggling.

Funny thing is her dad's a Kelly. Wonder how she reconciles that with her britishness.
Probably the same way Gerry reconciles his "Irishness" given his "Planter" ancestry.

Well then he's very much of the same ilk as the original Irish Republicans who were presbyterians. I'd imagine Adams would probably be more comfortable with that aspect of his identity than Foster would be with hers. Bring back Peter Robinson/Ian Paisley lol.
Yeah, old Gerry is well known for his high regard for Unionists.  I think is was "b**tards" that he referred to them as a year or two back.

I said nothing about Gerry Adams' attitude towards unionists. I just think he's more comfortable with his identity than Arlene Foster, who appears to be one step away from sporting a union jack dress a la Geri Halliwell.

Really, surprising then that the disciplinary committee rescinded the red crd after reviewing video evidence.

In fairness Philly saw Marsden and Gormley locking heads and he ran in looking for it. I'm a Tyrone man, but I think he knew was he was doing.

So the plot to replace Roisin Jordan with one if their own backfired. To those who are feeling sorry for themselves as regards the defeat of Mickey's puppet I've only one thing to say...Get it right F...
ING up yes!! No doubt this won't go down well with certain people and more scheming and underhand behaviour will ensue in the coming months. The way Roisin Jordan was treated was nothing short of disgusting and I hope she gets justice. Get that IP address and expose the email culprit NOW!

Is that Kieran McGeary I see? Maybe you'll be right about something one of these days.

This looks very much like the DUP were told to take their medicine and shut up.
Put back in their wee place

You sure about this?

Well they did in Portadown,well away from the housing estates containing less privileged Catholics and Protestants.Im pretty sure in my very young day Portadown had only one Dentist,and he was a Catholic,as were the majority of the town's General Practitioners who all ran surgeries in their (big) homes,in the pre Health Centre days.

Well for whatever reason it seemed to be the exeption rather than the rule back then. For example in Cookstown:

"Unemployment in Cookstown is 35.6 percent, the second highest rate in the province.

The Cookstown District Council, in which the Protestants have a one-vote majority, excludes Catholic councilors from all committees and external bodies on which councilors normally sit. In 1979, the Fair Employment Agency found no Catholics employed in the Council's offices; only 13 percent of public works employees were Catholic.

In the meat factory, which is one of the larger and better-paying employers, the Fair Employment Agency found only 33 Catholics in a workforce of 316 this year. The plant agreed to encourage Catholic applicants. ''
