He has in mind a Michael D like figure,politically neutral,who would represent the jurisdiction and all its people at home and abroad,around whom we could all rally and unite.

Must say I see the merit in this and also agree with Holmes advocacy of a neutral flag and anthem for the jurisdiction,signifying the irrefutable fact that we do have our own unique identity, separate and distinct from the Freestate,England,Scotland and Wales

According to the 2016 Census statistics.Must say I am pleasantly surprised.This bodes well and must be a huge sickener for the miniscule number of anti Catholics on this board and elsewhere

Don't know what to believe these days.

Brokencrossbar was subsituted as Crossmaglen clinched their first All Ireland Final appearance with victory over Laune Rangers in the semi final!

Great result tonight.Top of the league and into quarter finals of Scottish Cup.This is as good an achievement as Brendan Rodgers in Scotland this season,in my opinion.

Am a big fan and have seen all of their previous Irish gigs.Could I suggest the following set list for Croke Park?

Get off of me cloud.

Jumping Jacks Flash

Mrs Brown's Sugar

Wild (Ballymun) Horses

Tumbling Dicey

Let it bleedin'. 

Robbery Tuesday

It's only Dickie Rock N Roll

Paint it Blue

Enda making noises and SF consenting to be the junior partner.Surely this is proof positive that SF is abandoning the North?

I refer to Tony Flannery's so called Mass which apparently attracted hundreds of misguided souls in Galway today. Do these people not realise that to be a true Catholic you must accept the infallibility of the teachings of Rome,however unpopular these may be.If not you are "Protestant" and putting your eternity at risk

Why? It's not as if any of the freestate parties will look after northern nationalists? If anything they will be more anxious  than ever to obey their British puppetmasters.😠😠

Allegedly! Changed times from the days when people flocked down South from the North to escape violence!

Apparently Victoria Square in Belfast had the best Boxing Day in its history in terms of sales and footfall this year,largely attributable to free state shoppers taking the benefit of favourable exchange rates! Thanks lads, on behalf of Arlene, the tax take will help pay for the RHI c**k up!

First it was Sammy Wilson telling Elton John he'd be better off sticking to singing rather than politics, after the Rocket Man (that's Elton by the way) asked a DUP MLA who thought HIV was restricted to gay men,what planet he was living on! 😂. Now Gregory Campbell has responded angrily to Gary Lineker telling Ulster to chill out over no nominations from the pravince for BBC SPOTY! This is so funny 😂😂😂😂

arrest at least,if not reverse,the lamentable anti Catholicism and general spread of atheism in the free state?

With the attendance of SDLP leader Colm Eastwood at yesterday's Ulster Unionist Party Conference and pledging co operation/collaboration/ subordination,it seems to me that Sinn Fein and the SDLP are now merely the junior coalition partners of the DUP and UUP respectively,in Governmment and opposition.They are controlled totally by their dominant Unionist party masters and are effectively neutralised,mere puppets.

How has it come to this?

Kevin Mc Cabe- Penalty Points

Mickey Linden - Beating Meath and Losing Teeth.

Owen Mulligan - Sofa So Good.

Any more?

And it was from Ballyholland not Lithuania?

Some of ye heathens would do well to follow suit

A Pope set foot in Ireland for the first and to date only time.I remember getting the Belfast to Dublin (filled with Scottish Celtic supporters who had come over in the boat that morning) train at Portdown,and a shuttle bus from Connolly to the Phoenix Park.Even though it was a Saturday,Dublin City was at a standstill,the Pope was the only show in town.The day itself in Phoenix Park seemed to go on forever,and I did eventually get a reasonably close up view as Pope John Paul II did the rounds in the Pope Mobile.

Any others have memories.

Another super performance and result for Dundalk tonight.Its just over 40 years ago, mid Sept 1976,that I watched them draw 1-1 with a very good PSV Eindohoven team in the European Cup.

That team was managed by the legendary Jim Mc Laughlin, and the current manager Stephen Kenny is Mc Laughlin's only serious rival for best Irish club manager of all time
