It's already started. I would say Finucane would need to step up his security arrangements.There is a lot of bad blood already. (Well done DUP)
#8072
Just saw a thing on twitter about a banner on the shankill re Finucane and his family. It wasn't exactly very tasteful. This is going to get nasty.

They really are the DUP/UDA now too. Nailed their colours to the mast.

Alan Manus not facing the flag in the FAI cup final. I get why if you didn't believe in UI etc etc you would do that if the flag were flying in the north but why would you do that when you are,with no ambiguity, in the country who's flag is the tricolour?

Anyway each to their own but him and Roy Carroll must be a pair of eejits.
In fairness though James McClean done the exact same thing.

I bet there are people now who defended McClean are the same who are now outraged at that fella yesterday.

We know mcClean's reasons though what are Manus's I do wonder.

Ireland aren't exactly occupying the "north" at present so then what is the offense with the flag / anthem when he is in fact in the 26 counties. I just do wonder what he finds offensive about a country's flag/ anthem. It's up there with Roy Carroll that time in the lineup.

it would be different if he was at some ground in the 6 counties where they were playing it.

Hurling wise I think Dunloy are a good bit more capable but in terms of physicality etc, especially at this time of year, that is the big question for them. They look much bigger so hopefully they will have adapted that part of their game too.

SDLP not standing in N Belfast, not in East or North Down. Smart decision, SF likely to reciprocate in South Belfast. SF need to play a smart campaign in NB now and go full on anti-DUP.

Are they?

Yes.

It would be great to see the back of that witch Pengelly. An out and out bigot who should have never been near a seat.

Derrygonelly have an unfair advantage by being the best team in their county more than once in a row. Is there no fairness any more ;D

Corbyn isn't a fan of Zionists and various other high powered people who are up to no good. These people have power enough to ruin someone like that unfortunately. The anit semitism thing is in my view a smear campaign.

Agreed anything can be done to get the DUP out is what people should be after. In my constituency Pengelly is in and should never be. Hopefully Hanna will get in instead of her but the nationalist vote is very split whereas the unionist vote isn't at all which causes the problem.

Some reckon the DUP will go from 10 to 6. I'd love to see it but I think it may just be wishful thinking.

Looking at the figures Boris will win this election by a very large margin.

Way too early to tell that!! Also he's had a bad couple of days on the campaign trail so far this thing will close and it'll be a hung parliament!

I am worried this may be the outcome.

If it is then it's the end of Corbyn so basically it's the end of Corbyn or the end of Johnson I expect. I would rather see Johnson finished than Corbyn but I think it is a matter of time and the right circumstances before Corbyn is ousted anyway. I think this could be them.

Every wing half forward in the country was modeled on him for years afterwards.

Anyway Cluxton's kickouts have changed the game, how tactical it is and the mobility required for a "modern" midfielder.

There are bigots on both sides. It's very blinkered, and naive,  to think otherwise.

O'Callaghan would be a worthy recipient. If he got it you couldn't argue it either.

Cluxton is most influential of his generation. The one before him in my view was Dooher. Both redefined the roles they play.
