"On their way to blow up a town". Good to see you're avoiding sensationalism there Maguire.

[Hardy]

Yes, Maguire. Please don't exaggerate. They were on their way to blow up only some of a town.

Talking balls again SF didn't break any determination and never at any time say they would.

it was great. I could really get into this parading. the bands were class, the uniforms were cool, the speeches were good and the weather was perfect.. not too warm. it was great to meet are Tyrone brothers again. this kind of commemoration needs to be moved around each county so all our dead volunteers can be honoured for their sacrifice. we need more monuments. nothing too tacky, the one at Mullaban is class and is a nice place to sit down and say a prayer.

Are you on the wind-up or just a madman?

Unfortunately, I think he's both.

we are under no illusions the position is sinn fein are taking ownership of the past. men died for their country in a battle that couldn't be won militarily speaking.(ask Argentina)  we know where we are at and we are taking ownership of this country its not an orange state any more, we don't stare into the ground when we meet our orange neighbours,  we look then in the eye and say your British and this IS ireland but I'm willing to accept you warts and all but you have to do the same.
maybe other southern brothers could do the same and take ownership of their own country stop treating it like they borrowed it from england

What country are you taking ownership of? Surely you don't mean the 6 counties - do you think it's a country, really? Unusual viewpoint for a Shinner, but there you go. You can't mean the 32 counties, as the Shinners remain a minority party in the 26 counties, despite the fact that all of their political opponents have managed, between them, to bankrupt the state and saddle the people with shed loads of debt. Which country are you talking about? And why were you staring into the ground when you met your orange neighbours? Ashamed of something, were you? Omagh playing on your mind, was it? Or Kingsmill? Or Darkley? Or La Mons? Or Enniskillen? Or... (continue ad nauseam)

Irishmen and women will never allow republicans to take ownership of this country. The sight of Kelly walking down the road with a bunch of clowns dressed in dark sunglasses and berets, was a reminder of just why the man is unfit to run a bath, never mind a country. One day northern unionists will cotton on to the fact that the best way of sidelining wankers like Adams and Kelly is to have an all Ireland parliament based in Dublin. They're big fish in the 6 counties. In 32 county Ireland they're nothing.

Aint taking balls mate! gerry says we do want we want regardless, thats the same attitude the orange order has, no difference!

[trileacman]

Had a mate from the area who said this on Facebook,

Castlederg and the North West faces bigger issues than any 'Parade' or 'Protest' in the future. I hope the politicians and public are as passionate and enthusiastic about our area then as they are now.

Find it sad that this is what people chose to remember on the same day as we mark the deaths of the Omagh bomb victims, which included the loss of 6 children and 6 teenagers.

August 15 1998

The ceremony to mark the bombing was held on Sunday, a few days before the actual anniversary.

I will paste his speech tomorrow and you can show me where he said we will do what we want regardless.

[trileacman]

I don't understand the appeal of marching. We've all been sick of the sight of the f**kers for 2 month's now and how do SF react to Unionists marching around like a crowd of w*nkers? To march around like a crowd of w*nkers.

If they want to commemorate the two lads then why not a rally, a speech, a wreath laying or a mass? What the fcuk does marching add?

According to TUV Jim they broke determinations regarding paramilitary-style clothing and depictions of weaponry.

I'm not denying or confirming anything Jim says, but I did see one of his pictures. It was a marcher with a Sinn Fein logo on his jacket.

They were on their way to bomb a border customs point. This is not spin. Saying they were trying to "blow up a town" is spin.
