OWC fury at Norn Iron shirts not being sold at City Airport

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Some idiot then came on complaining that the Tourist Information centre in Ballymena sold New Zealand rugby jerseys!!! Jesus wept!

Someone should ask the Orangeletter to end its political and sectarian ban on GAA coverage

It really is nauseating the way the media seek out and air this p***k Mc Allister's views on every subject under the sun. You'd nearly think people in general gave a fcuk about the IFA and their monocultural team.

On another point isn't it time that fans of the real Ireland team in the 6 counties (who vastly outnumber OWC) organised themselves into one consolidated and coherent group to facilitate ticket sourcing and exchange, travel to games, lobbying the FAI etc? I kmow many supporters clubs in the six counties exist already and have tenuous links with bigger clubs in the 26 counties

Classic stuff Tony.

Is it true that sports shops in New Zealand don't stock the All-Blacks' jersey, as it is felt that you have to earn the right to wear the silver fern?

Could this now be the case with the IFA?  No longer can anyone simply walk into any sports shop and buy a replica shirt - one must earn the right to wear the jersey and actually play for one of their representative teams.

Gary McAllister must be one of the worst press officers anywhere, regardless of his bigoted views. The ANISC would be much better off with a genuinely intelligent, coherent and literate press officer.  My vote would be for MW or ChrisOWC.

Only someone who doesn't understand that the GAA is a non-political, non-sectarian organisation could describe a ban on GAA coverage as political and sectarian.

I see your point and would have to disagree Hardy. Some people see the GAA as a "republican" organisation. This is of course rubbish as they arent a political organisation.
But some would avoid giving them coverage as they believe them to be so.

Chris would be a good vote if you wanted the thing done right (I think he may be a closet b@stard fenian though having 'outed' himself earlier in this thread ...the use of 'themmuns'  )

so I'd rather have Mw - as he makes me laugh more  

[his holiness nb]

MW is ok but a bit grumpy, Evil Genius would be a good press officer but the press releases would be 100's of pages long.

I'd go for Samuel/Samantha G.

His Holiness do not waste your time trying to enlighten the Meath [Edited by Mod3],make allowances for him. Its what I normally do. He really hasn't a clue about life up here

I thought that was part of what you've been doing for the past million years? In between various potshots at Loyalist Emblems, Sectarian Fans and Biggoted Linfield of course

I think the Irish News said it best when it said the reason it gave little coverage to NI football is that its readership doesnt give a shite about it. The newsletter aims to its market similarly. What do people expect?

Jaysus Tony, you have been on the recieving end of personal abuse enough times to know better.
I even stuck up for you a few times, and ended up being called gay 

Incidentally, quickest edit ever from the mods, on the ball today!

Is that a yellow card for Tony or is he one of the elite that are immune from sanction?
