Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Gerry calls on Americans to home for the anniversary and have another Rising which prompts a huge cheer and loads of $. SF very popular in USA.

What is it with Armagh men and measuring popularity from a single cheer?

You should be ashamed of yourself for that comment. Such snide attacks should be reserved for those who truly deserve it, like rape victims.

What's the Cahill case got to do with southern politics?

It's transparent enough that Kenny, Martin etc are clinging to this case to save their political lives (and bonuses/pensions/expenses)

How very partitionist of you.

[Farrandeelin]

Nothing, just we're all wondering if the rapists in the ranks were moved 'down here'.

Once again, SF students totally mis-judge the mood of fellow students, first in Belfast with its failed (and utterly pointless) referendum on Irish unity, and now in Derry, trying to rename Magee.

Why oh why have they done this in the first place?

Try getting a fecking GAA pitch at Magee would be a better try.

I don't understand the problem with Magee myself.

Sums up SF nicely in Derry. More worried about the name than the fact Magee has been left to ruin by their executive.

[Applesisapples]

The renaming of magee is the least of their worries...time to name a leader with credibility.

Baile Stil, ye have agreed with me I think three times this year? what is going on?

what ye reckon the poem.............

Pity there wasn't a general election now - SF would be in government. Strange poll considering the pressure SF have been under.

Why would they be in government? Wouldn't have a majority. Who would form an alliance with them?

You'd be surprised who might join up with them. In politics, anything can happen.

As you say anything can happen. But it is doubtful if FF FG or Lab would join with them leaving it very difficult for them to form a government. Socialist TDs probably would but who else?

FFS even the DUP join them up here. Power is key, even if it means buddying up with big bad Sinn Fein. They'd all be lining up with their dicks out, make no mistake about it.

Surely you appreciate the difference between a voluntary coalition and a mandatory one?

When political  power is in question, voluntary becomes mandatory.

[Mike Sheehy]

Eventuallly, according to the polls, Sinn Fein will become the main party in the south but nobody trusts them at the moment. They still have too much baggage.
