If this was Tyrone and Monaghan we'd be saying it was shite!!

What a game of rugby!!!

D'Arcy the Phil Neville pf Rugby commentating...

"Actually Ted I think I have the most boring voice!"

Agreed the commentary is atrocious but it is ITV so it's going to be a mess anyway

Listen, you're better inside the tent pissing out...

I think we've addressed this already

Foster lets the unionist mask slip...rogue and renegade nationalists and republicans. You can't have a taig about the house the family silver would disappear.

Quite, shame on Mark Carruthers (and Alban Maginness) for not calling her out on it but that attitude is ingrained in most Unionists, even "moderates" and in the allegedly impartial BBCNI.  Fair play to Deirdre Heenan for bringing it up and Kelly for highlighting her nasty bigotry (and people call her a moderate!).  The DUP would trust a Muslim to go to the shops for them but they wouldn't even trust a Taig to do that.  This is how far we've come since the GFA...in other words we haven't progressed at all.

For the poster who called TV Mike a political genius, his performance on The View last night was embarrassing.  Even Prof Rick Wilford called it a car crash.

Robbo has not resigned he has "stepped aside".  The most interesting line in his statement was the bit about Foster staying on as Finance Minister in order that Nationalists and Republicans I.e. Catholics, could not make any financial decisions that would be to the detriment of NI. Meaning?? Those darn irresponsible Taigs can't be trusted with the money.  Probably as insulting as his line about Muslims but sure he gets away with it.

Jeez
Just when Nama enquiry was getting interesting.
As an aside have to say I wonder who is feeding Jamie the info

Junior??

Election soon??

DUP to go unless Brits suspend assembly...sooner the better

It's all going to go tits up

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/het-wanted-to-question-martin-mcguinness-over-enniskillen-bombing-but-were-halted-by-nio-its-been-claimed-31513668.html

A cold-case police team wanted to question Martin McGuinness over the Enniskillen bombing - but was prevented from doing so by the Northern Ireland Office, it was claimed today.  The astonishing allegation came during a meeting of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee at Westminster.  Twelve people died when an IRA bomb exploded on Remembrance Sunday in 1987.  Kenny Donaldson, a victims campaigner in the Fermanagh area, said he had been told by a senior investigator with the now-defunct Historical Enquiries Team that investigators wanted to question Mr McGuinness about the atrocity.  However, he told MPs that the NIO had advised that it "would not be a good idea".  Mr Donaldson said he was told nothing more came of the matter.  "We have been advised by a senior former HET investigator that he had cause to wish to bring in the Deputy First Minister for questioning in regards to that atrocity," Mr Donaldson said.  "He was prevented from doing so. The NIO advised that that would not be a good idea, and it didn't happen."

Eleven people were killed and 63 others were injured when the no warning bomb ripped through the Co Fermanagh town on November 8, 1987.  A 12th victim school principal, Ronnie Hill, spent 13 years in a coma and died in 2000.  No one has ever been convicted in connection with the massacre, among the worst of the Troubles.  In 2013 First Minister Peter Robinson said the PSNI "should be talking" to Mr McGuinness if there was evidence to suggest he knew anything about the Enniskillen bombing.  Mr Robinson told the Impartial Reporter newspaper that he had never spoken to the Deputy First Minister about the attack, but added: "If there is evidence that suggests that he has information then it is the police who should be talking to him, not me."  Previously Mr McGuinness has said he felt ashamed when incidents such as the Enniskillen bombing were carried out in the name of Irish republicanism.  He made the comments on RTE as part of the Irish State broadcaster's coverage of the 2011 presidential election.  When asked about the Enniskillen bombing, Mr McGuinness said: "I feel ashamed when incidents like that happened.  "I know that the journalists, if they had the opportunity, would blame me for the 1916 Rising and the war of independence."  In 2008 a BBC documentary claimed Mr McGuinness knew of the IRA's plans to bomb Enniskillen.  Journalist Peter Taylor alleged he was the leading figure on the IRA's Northern Command at the time of the attack.  In the TV documentary 'Age of Terror: 10 Days of Terror', Mr Taylor said Northern Command knew about the bombing beforehand but did nothing to prevent it.  Mr Taylor said: "British and Irish security sources on both sides of the border have each independently told me that Martin McGuinness, now Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister, was the leading figure on Northern Command at the time of the attack.  "In the hours after the bombing, my sources say that McGuinness travelled to Fermanagh to question members of the local IRA unit to find out what had gone wrong."  At the time Mr McGuinness said allegations were "completely false" and based on "untrue briefings from faceless individuals in the intelligence apparatus long hostile to Sinn Fein"

Anyone doing the Great Dublin Bike Ride on Sunday?

Will the arrest of Bobby Storey mean anything or is it just a Trawl of people to show something is being done?

Eddie Copeland and Brian Gillen scooped too.  Round up of the usual suspects??

Bobby Storey arrested over Kevin McGuigan murder.

That's a very strong defence from someone who hasn't been accused of anything.
