Just listening to Talkback and Trevor Birney talking about and how attacking someone like Sean Brown was a deliberate ploy as he was decent and could not be associated with any paramilitary organisation. It was purely to put fear and Terror through a whole community by striking at its centre.
We had just won the AI and had beaten Bellaghy in the Ulster final before Christmas 1996. There was a crew of us living in Belfast and we had close relationships on and off the field with a lot of the Bellaghy lads. It struck hard. I remember travelling home at the time and we regularly changed out pick up spots etc. Going to matches in Lurgan and that was always a concern as well. How the f**k was that normal?
Unfortunately we normalised it at the time and adopted
My dad handed me the book The Shankill butchers when it came out
Made me read it before I headed out that weekend, needless to say that put the willies up me for that period of heading out!
Absolutely horrible book. Really tough. I read the book called committee. Really opened my eyes as a teenager growing up.
Only policeman you trust is a dead one.
Is that the one by Sean mcPhilemy?

Quote from: bannside on April 12, 2024, 06:30:22 AMBest of luck to Andy and the senior squad as they head to Pairc Esler tomorrow evening.
It was a privilege to have been there 14 months ago to see us going at Down in the league, for definite one of my proudest nights as an Antrim Supporter, even in defeat.
We are 9 players missing from the team that represented us that night, and that's a massive loss, but the boys getting a jersey tomorrow night have nothing to lose but go out and perform and hopefully stay in the contest long enough to put a doubt in Downs head.
Best of luck all.
