Maurice Hayes,Catholic and widely credited with Down GAAs emergence in the 1960s,was NI Ombudsman,decades ago.

I can only go from my own experience,discrimination was not nearly as bad as made out,my primary school years were carefree,my parents were never out of work and we had as much or as little as our Protestant neighbours.I happen to believe that if we had that life in Portadown,and it did involve hard work,then anyone else could have done the same.

Are you saying for example that Catholic middle classes did not dwell in the leafy suburbs,in Malone Road?

Not many of them anyway, nationalists used to poll less than 10% in South Belfast.

I cannot think of any situation when Unionist obstinacy or threat etc actually was detrimental to their cause.They don't care who likes or dislikes or ridicules them,all settlements are invariably on their terms (during the GFA negotiations a United Ireland wasn't even on the table for discussion) and they have preserved the statelet on their terms for almost 100 years.

May cannot even push this through with their consent,even if it was forthcoming.To do so sets a precedent for Scotland and the City of London etc,which in effect would mean no Brexit.

I would bet money that there will be timber back on the border and after the usual huffing,puffing,moaning and baying at the moon from the various strains of Irish nationalism,they will settle down,meekly accept the border and more than likely persuade their electorate to endorse it in a referendum as well.

Well they went from running the place by themselves to sharing power with the SDLP and then sharing power with the Shinners. It's only gonna get worse for them.

Whatever happens will benefit nationalists in the long run.

Nice to see Grugan and Mcguigan awarded last night. Two players who were so callously discarded by Mickey Harte and who are two players that are coming now into the prime of their footballing careers. Surely it is the job of the Tyrone manager to make contact with them as regards 2018??

Hey I thought you said Richie Donelly isn't playing for Tyrone next year? He's back in training.

Where you the loser who reported me to the moderator? When the argument is lost and frustration sets in report to the website to silence others. Your plan to get me barred didn't work d**khead ha ha ha

I didn't report you, grow up.

peter harte and mc namee chosen to show off the new kit. captain and vice captain?

With your record it probably means they're both getting dropped.

Who gives a f**k who's captain next year, whether it's harte, Donnelly, mccrory or Cavanagh it'll not make a pile of difference.

well someone has to lift the mc kenna cup

Bout time a Clogher Valley man lifts the big one

Some people don't like to hear the truth. TOUGH SHIT.

You're a sad case.

I see Francie Brolly in the paper today going against SF and Gerry Adams....you think he's just trying to take abit of heat off Joe?

Doubt it, he and Brolly's mum are pretty outspoken about being pro-life.

I see Justin Mc Nulty has jumped onto the bandwagon also to raise his profile and further his political career😡

Not sure that's fair, he was very vocal about the mooted funding cuts to that Ulster Council coaching scheme.

Delighted for Colm Cavanagh to get that recognition. Tough from him from the start following his brother who was already very much established as a giant of Tyrone GAA. Colm had a hard time from many Tyrone fans for a few years and it is to his great credit that he worked away and carved out a niche for himself as an absolutely key man on the Tyrone team. Hopefully there is more to come from him.

Never seen a player improve so much, fair play to him.

Last time I looked at the GAA page the "criticism" section had grown to engulf over a quarter of the page because of a unionist editor compiling every negative thing that was ever said about the gah. After numerous disputes with him I promptly applied the same standard to the Linfield FC page.

There are some real sad cases on that site translating this, that and the other into Ulster Scots. Wouldn't blame wikipedia really.

Brolly? Was his parents not members of a party that approved of the actual killing of Northern Police Officers not all that long ago?

Bit of a stretch there T. Can't recall ever hearing Sinn Fein approve of a Police Officer's killing...... FYI when making a bold statement like the above ''Was his'' should be replaced by '' Were his''.

Not so sure about that one. For example, on his willingness to kill RUC or UDR men, Gerry Adams said "If my role lay within the IRA and within an armed struggle, I would have no compunction at all." Back in 1983 apparently.

''Compunction- a feeling of guilt or moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing of something bad.'' One individual feeling no guilt after killing a cop or UDR man doesn't equal full party approval for a killing. But don't listen to me I would have had no compunction at all for the same.

Well they hardly fecking disapproved lol

[Maybe somebody is feeding me bullshit?]

I can exclusively reveal plan A (the blanket) will be continued next year. However a few tweaks will be implemented with our lord's prayer said before all matches and a decade of the rosary at half time. Yes!! Let's do this. ( Maybe somebody is feeding me bullshit?)

You and your 'sources'
