And we're supposed to accept these c***ts parading through Belfast as if it was as British as Finchley

What a lovely purr... Never thought I'd enjoy feline like a tit!

The boul Neil is not answering his landline or mobile phones.  I thought he said he was willing to speak to anyone from the board offended by that disgusting comment he didn't post

Thats funny, I am having lunch overlooking the skyline in Chicago, I picked up my phone  and called Neil, lo and behold he answered the call.



For my part, I think a lot of you are very quick to denounce this man for carrying on in this site, you all do it all the time but since he is a protestant he feels that you are hanging him out to dry.

I am away to watch our boys get three valuable world cup points but in the meantime. LEAVE NEIL ALONE!!!!!!

That's funny, in a previous post you boasted he was a big pal of yours, so it's no stretch to suggest he's got your number on his mobile and when you rang your name flashed up, so he knew it wasn't an uppity Fenian like myself who he invited to call him to discuss the disgraceful comment(s) he didn't post and is now refusing to discuss ... Chicago?  That's where the gangsters came from, isn't it?  BTW, Congrats to the mighty Slovenia who 'killed' the statelet, the last 10 minutes of that game ... as the boul Neil would say ... gave me great pleasure indeed

Johnny Ping is more concerned with his own ego/ profile than the wellbeing of GAA in Antrim.

Where did he get his nickname?

Was that his debut?  Jaysus, his first and last cap for the Jocks

Talk about shooting the messenger...

From today's Irish News:

Calls for website to be shut down

The chairman of the Antrim County Board last night called for an online GAA discussion forum to be shut down.

Dr John McSparran said there was no control over the site, www.gaaboard.com, which meant that anyone could post offensive comments while hiding behind pseudonyms or even using other members' log-in names.

"People can make any kind of statements behind an anonymous name without having to justify themselves," Dr McSparran said.

"We should be entitled to challenge someone who is making accusations about players."

His comments came as Ballymena UUP councillor Neil Armstrong denied posting violent sectarian remarks on the message board claiming they had been written by someone else under his user name The Bard of Dunclug.

During a debate about a homecoming parade for RIR soldiers returning from Afghanistan remarks appeared under his user name stating: "It's a real pity that the army while while in Northern Ireland hadn't taken some of the recent contributors to this thread out and killed them.  That would have caused me real pleasure."

Mr Armstrong's username has now been removed from the website.

The website's moderators say they have doubts as to whether the controversial comments were made by Mr Armstrong.

Dr McSparran said it would probably be in everyone's interests to have the site taken off the internet.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the UUP said yesterday that the party would take no action against Mr Armstrong.

"Neil is someone in the party who is noted for his liberal views and his involvement with wider community politics," the spokesman said.

"I think it is very unlikely that he would have said these sorts of things."

1. McSparran is talking shite and obviously isn't aware of the facts... "People can make any kind of statements behind an anonymous name without having to justify themselves," Dr McSparran said. Er, doc, it wasn't anonymous, the clown forgot to hide his email address on his profile.

2. The website's moderators say they have doubts as to whether the controversial comments were made by Mr Armstrong.  Do they indeed?  Surely the Mods have the IP address of where the posts (plural) emanated from.  If it's the same IP address owned by Armstrong then need I say more?

3. "I think it is very unlikely that he would have said these sorts of things."  Very unlikely? Not exactly a ringing endorsement for their councillor.  Was it very unlikely he said all the other things posted by The Bard of Dunclug, or did he forget to log off on those occasions allowing the 'mystery man' to get working with his fingers?

[we were very poor on the day]

04 Aug 2007
Meath 1-13 - 2-08 Tyrone

It was only a matter of time, but bejasus you're scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I said just after that game that we were very poor on the day (despite the performance against Donegal just previously), and that most teams would have taken us that day. I also said that Meath were a very mediocre outfit, as Cork duly proved in the next game.

You were comfortably beaten by a very young, inexperienced team at the quarter-final stage of the All Ireland championship in 2007. You were beaten by Down in the Ulster championship this year too don't forget. You were also blessed to scrape by a very average Mayo team. Lest you buy into the hype that all of a sudden you are the ultimate gaelic football team. 

YEAH, BUT WE'RE ALL IRELAND CHAMPIONS, AND THAT'S ALL THAT f**king COUNTS

I remember on OWC when "big rab" posted about his burgeoning homosexuality, when in fact he hadn't logged off properly.
The fact is that this could happen is most likely why the media wont state "he did it".

nifan, if a libel comes up, under the libel laws, the media HAS to prove he said it, the boul Neil doesn't have to prove he didn't say it... but the fact there are 16-17 other comments from the 'bard', several of them disgusting, i'd venture the Sundays, which have more cahones than the Dailys, will be on the phone to Neil over the next 24 hours just to ask which, IF ANY, of the comments  he was responsible for...

If his comments weren't bad enough, the fact he's bringing his wife into it (IN quotes) to elicit some sort of sympathy shows him up to be a particualrly pathetic arsehole

Did your man Berry not wheel out his wife as well around the time he had booked a "massage" ??.  

Must be a unionist thing

From today's Belfast Telegraph:

Councillor denies forum slur
I've been set up says Ulster Unionist over offensive comments on GAA website

BY LESLEY-ANNE HENRY
lhenry@belfasttelegraph.co.uk

AN ULSTER Unionist councillor today denied posting offensive comments on a GAA discussion forum.
Neill Armstrong, a member of Ballymena Council, claimed an opportunist used his name and password to post the abusive remarks during an online conversation about next month's Royal Irish Regiment parade.
The discussion, entitled 'Irish mercenaries and unionist coat trailers', took place on the gaaboard.com website on Wednesday afternoon.
At about 3.20pm a controversial comment was posted from Mr Armstrong's username "The bard of dunclug". It read: "It's a real pity that the Army whilst they were in Northern Ireland hadn't taken some of the recent contributors to his thread out and killed them, that would have caused me real pleasure."
The post was in response to a previous comment which read: "As for the loyal Irish soldiers having a parade in Belfast, that is disgusting and unacceptable, the Parades Commission is toothless for the most part."
Just over half an hour later, at 4.01pm, Mr Armstrong intervened to say that someone had sabotaged his web address.
Mr Armstrong, a public representative of eight years experience, admitted he had been logged on to the Gaelic sports site earlier in the day, but said he had "forgotten to log out properly".
He wrote: "Hi, this is Neil Armstrong — it has been reported to me that someone has been using my name and password to type comments on the forums and first and foremost I never typed these comments. I must have left the general discussion page open when I left a computer I was using. I strongly condemn anybody who wishes violence on anybody and I would condemn anybody who has made these remarks. Neill."
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Mr Armstrong said he had been set up and that his reputation had been "run into the ground and covered in muck" by the incident.
"I just didn't log off. I fully expected to be dragged through the coal. It was a simple error. People just believe the absolute worst of you. I am absolutely gutted. I really am. I have got up and I have said anybody on the noticeboard who wants to contact me, can. All I ask is to be judged on what I have done over the last eight years.
"I have gone on the noticeboard when someone told me what was said and I have condemned it unreservedly.
"This is what really aggravates me, if I had wanted to say something really controversial, I could be doing that every five minutes on it, couldn't I? This is what irks me because no matter what I say or do, I am an Ulster Unionist councillor, therefore I am going to be guilty anyway aren't I?
"I am hurt and disappointed. I am not trying to hide anything. This has broken my heart."
Mr Neill declined to say where he had been using the computer.
"I don't know who you contact about these sorts of things. The reality is if I contact a solicitor and people put these things on the board, what can you do?"
"I am taking steps and when I get the person who did it, I will give his or her name and I will get this sorted. But I am not really at liberty to give away the address. All I am saying is just give me a fair crack of the whip."

Another humiliation for that clown Orde, the man who thinks he's a shoo-in for the Met job

So Neil, tell us, did any members of the media contact you last night or this morning?

Heard it through the grapevine that there could well be something in tomorrow's Belfast Telegraph ... we shall see

Seriously, this guy is a public representative and has been clearly caught out. He has posted several comments on different days to suggest its him that made the comment. And even if he didnt post that ONE, his other posts must be of interest to the voting public in his area.

Yup, the area he's is from he'll get twice the number of votes next time out.

Yeah, but he'll probably be standing as an Indepenent Donagh
