Its daft though on both parts... Not one of the politicians would not respect another countries' national anthem so why do it here?? I wouldn't stand to today's joke but fair fucks to Martin

St John's have a standout under 21 team who should give the Creggan (Ulster) tournament a real crack this year.
But the Johnnies have had great underage teams too over the years and didn't kick on. There's something about this group that makes me think most of them might hang around and push on for a senior title in the next few years. A lot of them are second or third generation and I think that makes a big difference.

Quote from: balladmaker on November 08, 2015, 09:46:46 PMQuoteWould you agree it would have been the same in any stadium? No anti Irish think you are making that bit up, huge generalization.
I agree that it would happen in any stadium ... in England. I also think that if it was an Italian or French or a player from any other nationality other than Ireland who would not wear the poppy, there'd be no more said about it, it would be a non-story. There's an ongoing campaign against James McClean who is obviously proud to be Irish and wants no part in their jingoistic rituals relating to centuries of war-mongering around the globe, if he was anything other than Irish, there'd be no mention of it ... in my opinion.

Fair play to James McClean, he's made his position very clear from the outset, stands by his believes and won't compromise them for anyone. The fact that he doesn't wear one in no way denigrates or insults those who died in the two world wars, why should it. However, the blatant anti-Irish sentiments in the press and in Old Trafford yesterday under the guise of the poppy issue need to be questioned.

Smash and grab by Palace. Liverpool actually played well enough.
Bad defending again letting us down.

Some were wearing them earlier in the week when they showed their preparations for the night but they weren't wearing them on the Saturday night show.
Seen dancers on strictly not wearing them... On BBC ffs!! Will be public hangings outside Buckingham palace
The Irish dancer Tristan McManus didn't wear one at all.
Quote from: Jesusjones on November 08, 2015, 02:41:33 PMMy argument to that JJ is that the county have to shoulder some of the blame... We all do in some respects.. How much effort do we collectively put in? I've neglected putting something back into the club for a while (though some would think that's a good thing ) but I'll be back after this refereeing lark... As Skull has said on numerous occasions and I see it everytime I'm at a clubs refereeing, its the same faces doing the same jobs for most parts...and that's because getting fresh blood on board is tough... Hopefully a bitta freshness along with some of the decent older ones can make a difference
Sie make no mistake I'm no fan of Kevin Ryan and he has to shoulder some of the blame no doubt but it wouldn't matter if we replaced him with Pj, Manley or Cody we'd still have big problems that we can only fix as a county.

Sometimes plans don't work out. Are we now going to castigate someone for having a plan? Surely it would be folly to not have a plan?

I see that the ref made no reference to the alleged bite. Surely if he was shown something during the game as serious as was alleged he would have had to refer to it even if he could do nothing about it.
