Anyone know what's going on in Armagh? Heard it's kicked off there. The underclass responsible, surprise surprise...

Smashed the windows in on a pub and threw fireworks into the bar

Where is Evil Genius?

A few pages ago he clearly said what he thought of these protesters and it was along the same lines as everyone else so why is everyone looking for him to come on again and say the same.

Tricky one for the cops. If they wail in with batons and plastic bullets it will escalate the situation but letting it go as is looks very bad too. Dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

Must of missed that. He usually gets really involved in such topics, just seemed suprisingly quite is all. Fair enough if he has already commented.

Using reasonable force to protect people and property would be considered the minimum requirement so if it is true they stood by and allowed Rafferty's to be attacked for fear or reprisals then they arent doing their job imo.. It is people above the street cops that decide where these tramps can protest.

David Beckham Set Alight by Rioters For Not Wearing British Flag


Future Finn Harps Player David Beckham has been set ablaze by bigots angry at the footballer for wrapping himself in the Stars and Stripes rather than the Union Jack.

After his farewell appearance for LA Galaxy Bar, in which he won some cup or other,  Beckham wrapped himself in the American flag made famous by Bruce Sprignsteen in 1985.

Beckham, who is British, angered many people in Belfast with his decision not to wear the appropriate flag, so he was turned over and set alight.

It is believed that the damage caused to Beckham will cost in the region of $400,000. He is expected  to return to full fitness to play in Finn Harps' first game of the season.

tbh with the other side fighting each other It doesn't cause me sleepless nights but the most frustrating thing about all this as some have already pointed out is the Catholic lads would have been pumped full of lead and left like swiss cheese if they had have done some of these crimes. To even think we'd have been allowed to carry out a protest and block the city centre and other major routes is laughable. ..the fenians would have been beat stupid long before they got a chance to take their flags out.

Indeed. My mind goes back to the mid-90s when Garvaghy Road residents were beat off the road, while taking part in a sitdown protest. While at the same time, Orange Order supporters were allowed to block roads to Airports, Ferry ports and dozens of towns and villages around the North.

Was protesters knocked down by a car or something? Fair play to the driver.

The very Rev William 'Singing Wullie' McCrea has dubbed it ethnic cleansing by SF.

Can you complain to the Police Ombudsman or whatever they're called about lack of police action?

What was the story about renaming the RVH?
I didn't catch the story, have just people complaining about it.

Gerry Kelly was using it to point out how much Britishness there is around the wee six and the Unionist get hung up on the flag
