One of the so-called moderate voices within unionism but he's def losing his marbles 

Did the IFA always play GSTQ before the cup final? Or what's the story?

At this point, I find it incredibly difficult to grasp how people can be 100% certain the men are guiltily. I likewise can't understand how anyone can be 100% sure they're innocent. The only person(s) who can be 100% certain are the complainant and the accused, and even they weren't sure of their stories. The next best placed people are the jury, and I have enough confidence that going on the evidence presented and under the current legislation they made the correct decision. Being misogynistic over whatsapp is not a crime and does not indicate guilt.

While I agree the law does not sit favourably with women who may be the victims of rape, why the outcry now? Why not before?  Just because the accused were famous? Are they now not permitted to return to their profession because they and their mates were sleazy in a whatsapp group?

With Benny on this one, sorta. I'd use cash out on bigger accums say whenever I've a couple of quid left over in the account I'd stick it on 10/12 teams for the craic.  If most selections are winning I'd cash out if there's decent enough profit to be had because I haven't the patience to wait to the end. 

Both are described as "child rapist" and "paedophille" respectively. I assume they have prior convictions for same otherwise the paper wouldnt print that. So they are paedos and rapists and they are running free with access to kids in any local village they chose to go to. The pair of c***ts couldnt get enough of a hammering. In my opinion if people like that are walking free justice has not been done. If my child was molested by people like this I would go for the shotgun, not the police, because you simply will not get the justice you deserve through the law. These boys will get a few years holidays locked up with sick b**tards just like them to conspire as to what they will do and to who when they get out. When the law has a punishment to reflect the crime maybe people would do different. All the law today does it put the victim through a horrible ordeal and hand out shitty sentences with big chunks suspended for good behaviour in jail.

What then, is your vision of justice? What sort of justice system would you have? Provide specifics, not just sweeping statements like 'one that doesn't let paedos roam the streets looking for victims' or such. We can evaluate it then and see if there are similar distasteful outcomes as those you rail against the current system for.

I'd give them the death penalty personally. Failing that life imprisonment and hard labour. Castration certainly. No consideration given at all to whatever bullshit sad story they have about their tough life by way of mitigating a longer sentance. We are talking about scum that destroy the innocence and indeed the life of a child and destroy aspects of the life of their family. They prey on the weak for their sick sexual desire. They deserve no pity and no mercy. Maybe we could out-source the trial to the Iranian authorities. I really have to laugh at the outrage here about them getting a beating. I'd wager if they were seen prowling outside your local school or housing estate you'd be part of the "mob" yourself.

Just out of curiousity. If these two were successful in luring a child away at the weekend and raping them, and in 10 years time that same child went on to commit the same crime, you'd have them killed?

What attracted them the south Armagh? I know they're local but you'd think that'd be the last place they'd skulk about. I think they got off pretty lightly with a beatin and paint fucked round them

Saw someone share a post on Facebook yesterday of a girl who claimed to have been beat up by the so called victim. I think that's what's known as karma

Armagh split the reserves into north and south and play on a Wednesday night. About a dozen teams in each league. About another dozen clubs don't field reserve teams and then there are a few that play division 3.

Find it borderline ridiculous that a club can go from winning the minor championship last year to not fielding a minor team this year. Is there no lower grade they could enter and play 13-aside?

My experience of playing Belfast teams at u16 and minor back in the day in challenge games is that they always had big numbers, the players were all bigger, there was always one player that looked about 30 and they always told you that they didn't even have their full team cos half the panel played were away with antrim.

Locals always tend to say Lurgan is 50/50 because unionists act like they still own it but reality is the majority of development in the town over the last 20 years has been in the nationalist north end of town. Very much a commuter town to Belfast and plenty of people (all seemingly fenian) with no ties to the town setting up camp due to affordable housing and commuting distance to the city

Anywho, all the best to St Ronans tomorrow in the Hogan final tomorrow!

They flattened a pensioner in the process. Look forward to PSNI Craigavon's cheerful take on it on Facebook...

Did you see the video?

I've seen a few videos. They had two unmarked minibuses full of cops as well as a pile of landrovers.
I'm no support of RSF but they definitely could have dealt with it better. Next year will be a bundle of laughs, or maybe they didn't think that far ahead

Meanwhile their Arab "brothers" are busy trading away with Israel

Surprised you're not trying to justify the actions of your Israeli heroes

Over the last number of years I always felt Lurgan wad more of a soccer town. Only 1 of the 4 main clubs in the town plays senior football. In some respects though there may just be too many clubs for the area.

All of them have been in and out of Senior in the last 5 or 6 years. If Lurgan only had one club it would be some team
