Roll of Honour

[Feckitt]

Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men
We must be united in memory of the ten
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won
We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons

In those dreary H-Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay
Hungering for justice while their young lives ebbed away
For their rights as Irish soldiers and to free their native land
They stood beside their leader the gallant Bobby Sands

Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreish in Armagh's hill
In those narrow streets of Derry they miss O'Hara still,
They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold
Their names shall be remembered as history unfolds

Chorus

Through the war torn streets of Ulster the black flags did sadly wave
To salute ten Irish martyrs, the bravest of the brave
Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty
They gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee

Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die
With your nine brave companions, with the martyred dead you lie
Your souls cry out "Remember, our deaths are not in vain
Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again"

More jingoistic nonsense.

In Northern Ireland, Scottish independence would be a traumatic jolt to the political identity of the Democratic Unionist Party especially, which shares so much historically and culturally with Scottish Presbyterianism and loyalism. The distinct Ulster British strand of unionism would be equally traumatised by the consequent weakening of the UK and the likely fillip they assume this would give to Sinn Féin's agenda – although that party has been curiously slow to understand or articulate precisely how an independent Scotland might hasten debate on a united Ireland.

Official Ireland is not ready for this debate, but it would be unavoidable. And should the rest of the UK begin to unravel after losing Scotland, it would raise huge questions over how sustainable are the large existing UK transfers to Northern Ireland.

I'm not that well read on this so correct me if I'm worng but I reckon Scotland will vote for independence by a resounding majority. The attempts of the "establishment" for want of a better word to stop it are actually having clearly the opposite effect. Keystone cops stuff.

I don't think the Scots will vote yes in sufficient numbers, but in substantial numbers none the less. Various forms of the Max Devolution and the corresponding Mid Lothian question will come into play which can only draw attention to the financial arrangements in the UK and the amount of dole NI gets.

On what basis are you reckoning? Seems like wishful thinking.

Sure everything points to an easy win for the No side. Scotland will fall in line, predictably.

I wouldn't ordinarily be a fan of this kind of pro IRA nonsense, but if it annoys Gregory Campbell it has to be A Good Thing. Download it now.

As a Celtic supporter I have to say the club doesn't need this and the manager certainly doesn't need this, at this time.I understand the fans frustrations with the Football Bill etc but there are better ways to address it.Politics needs to be kept out of it.

Take note of the day, I actually agree with both of the previous posters!

Even though they're essentially disagreeing with each other?

It pisses off Gregory Campbell, it doesn't really do Celtic any good, who disagrees with these propositions?

A majority of Scots are happy to be England's lapdog.
The opinion polls bear this out.

[T Fearon]

On the contrary it fills Campbell and his ilk with glee as it allows him to link the club with this and ask them what they propose to do, and to condemn it and if the club doesn't then according to him the club must condone it.Win win for Campbell and Celtic FC placed in an impossible situation
