I am surprised his name hasn't cropped up on twitter yet.

obliquely?

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/155617-how-the-2013-world-press-photo-of-the-year-was-faked-with-photoshop

I see that the guy who analysed the photo is starting to back away from his claim that it was a composite picture.
"Updated @ 7:09am 5/13: The language about the final image being a composite of three separate images has been softened slightly."

And here is the prize winning picture compared with an earlier version.

The prize winning picture is clearly not a composite it has just has the contrast and colour balance changed, in other words doing to a digital image with Photoshop what photographers have done for decades in the dark room.

So no live Ulster football final?

Permission for what Declan? This is not live, so why would I need their permission? Does any of the gaa clips on you tube etc have their permission?

Because it is their product, not yours.

Did you get RTE's permission to rebroadcast their service?

[Senior Inter-County Panels shall not be permittedto go on Training Weekends, or training of longerduration, after the Final of their respective NationalLeague having been played, except during the 13days period prior to a Senior Championship Game,or during the 20 days prior to an All-Ireland SeniorFinal]

It has nothing to do with "foreign" travel.

"training weekends, or training of longer duration, after the end of their respective national leagues, except during the 13 days prior to a senior championship game."

It is because it is a training weekend (Saturday and Sunday)

It's the only way they can get a challenge game! What do you suggest they do?

If Tyrone travelled to Galway and played them on a Saturday evening, stayed over night then played Sligo on the way home on Sunday, would that not be allowed? Or even just played Louth on the Saturday, went home and played Leitrim on the Sunday? Would that be allowed?

If the 12.6 quote is accurate then I think those examples would fall foul of it. I don't know if that is ever enforced.

Here is the wording from the version of the Official guide which is online. It is not labeled 12.6. I don't know if there is a more up to date version.

[Ah well,]

So no comment on the murders themselves but blustering outrage at the commentary on the murders.

Standard response there hardy. Don't look at the conflict as a whole, and the context of it. Just pick one victim that suits the agenda and start the whatabouteries, eh.

Ah well, I didn't really expect you t be able to justify such a skewed set of sympathies.

"Ah well". Another standard response.

"Another standard response". Another standard response.

Speaking of responses, I haven't heard back from you on:

According to Nally Stand "The dogs in the street know these loyalists were acting with security force collusion."
http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=19293.msg962172#msg962172

And the dogs in the street also know that Adams and McGuinness were senior figures in the IRA.

Me saying that the dogs in the street knew about collusion is a bit different than a journalist at the state broadcaster on live tv making a direct accusation of involvement in the death of a named individual, wouldn't you say???

You said "The dogs in the street know these loyalists were acting with security force collusion" because it is well known that the security forces colluded with loyalist paramilitaries. Gerry Adams was asked about a murder committed by the IRA because it is well known that he was a senior figure in the IRA.

Not realy answering my question there are you. Me saying that the dogs in the street knew about collusion is a bit different than a journalist at the state broadcaster on live tv making a direct accusation of involvement in the death of a named individual, wouldn't you say???

Gerry Adams was a senior member of the IRA. It is entirely reasonable for a journalist to ask him about the activities of the IRA.

What part of "allegation involving a named individual" do you find so hard to grasp here?

I don't find it hard to grasp at all. She asked a senior IRA figure about specific IRA activities.

No, she made a very specific accusation about a named individual's death. This is not acceptable, particularly from the state broadcaster. Amazing you need that spelt out to you.

State broadcasters have the same rights to freedom of speech as the rest of us. If Gerry hadn't been in the IRA he wouldn't be getting these questions.

Right. Why do certain individuals from the Labour Party not face such allegations?

Which "certain individuals" should face such allegations?
