How times have changed...

[5 Sams]

A PSNI Officer is buried with a guard of honour from his home GAA club with his GAA jersey and Police cap on top of the coffin.

Unthinkable a few short years ago....a powerful symbol now.

Time will tell. I think that every year untill marching season when the cream of both societies is out. This was sad however GAA jersey or not.

Hopefully it is a sign that things are changing.  Its up to everyone to ensure that they never return.

Its quite sad that Maskey would ever stoop so low. Have they no shame?

5 Sams, it's good to see this happen at long last. 

Down Gael, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself though I suspect you meant every word you typed.   

You don't have the right to call yourself a Gael imo

I`ve never been on the OWC site, but I wonder do they have a thread offering condolonces to 4 dead policemen. I would seriously doubt it. A lot seems to have been made of the fact the two of the dead were members of the GAA. Yet at least one of those two hid the fact that he was a member of the police from his playing colleagues.

[imtommygunn]

that would be because of people like you down gael.

Downgael sad to say but you are just proof of how much times have not changed....
