One of the lead vocalists of the Wolfe Tones, Brian Warfield, has said those who criticise their song Celtic Symphony are "cranks and unionists or people who side with them".

He's not wrong

I see Carla Lockhart has written to Birmingham City FC to see if they intend to conduct an investigation as she is led to believe a number of players in the ROI women's team plays for the. She invoked the Birmingham bomb and everything

Dear Carla

Birmingham City FC does not condone this sort of behaviour.  We have spoken to the players involved. We note the sincere apology issued by the squad, management and the National Assoc and we now consider the matter closed but we thank you for your interest in Birmingham City FC.

All the best...

Carla Lockhart. The balloon's balloon. If you take anything that clown says seriously, you need to take a look at yourself. A COMPLETE f**king BIGOTED IDIOT.

Carla Lockhart is a degenerate plain and simple. She's MP for Upper Bann but originally from Aughnacloy, not a million miles from Benburb where John Pat Cunningham was murdered by the British Army. She of course chose to support the English murderer rather than justice for the innocent, local civilian. She also described the removal and destroying of a grossly offensive Soldier F banner in Lurgan as a "hate crime".

She's exactly the type of belligerent moron that the DUP love to have. She's a Twitter politician. Forget that she can barely read her wee speeches in the HoC or that she does absolutely f**k all for her constituency, if something remotely contentious comes up involving "themmuns", she'll be all over it like a rash in an attempt to score political points. An out and out bigot, and of course the idiots who vote for her lap it up every time.

Exactly.

Which is why I will never go out of my way or avoid doing or saying something in case it offends the likes of her and nor should anyone else

Of course it will go on because it's one of the few opportunities the media in the north get to try and balance this against the regular slips by themmuns

Personally I don't care one jot either. They got carried away and made a non malicious innocent mistake in the midst of their finest sporting achievement.

However a large part of unionism is totally dependent on creating and maintaining fear, hatred and division. Anything they can do to increase suspicion of the 'enemy' and create imaginary bogeymen (or women) they will use it to their advantage. That was the rationale behind the ludicrous Lockhart letter requesting employer sanctions be taken against the Irish women footballers. Its designed to stoke up division and all part of their little culture war techniques. Its the very reason the likes of media creations like Bryson and Holmes are able to exist and thrive.

The sad and scary part is that she is 37 years of age. If this is the new generation of DUP politician then god help us all. There are plenty of useless Twitter/Facebook politicians about but she has proven on countless occasions that she is an out and out anti Irish bigot. Her intervention to try and destroy the careers of a few women footballers was embarrassing and downright vindictive. Yet the sad thing is that it was not surprising.

The Unionist identity is based on the notion that they cannot be Irish. It's insane.

Probably first match vs Australia in Sydney Olympic stadium with sell out of 83000. Stuff of dreams for the women.

A tough draw nonetheless.

Canada are ranked 7
Oz are 13
We are 24
Nigeria are 45

The ladies should do better than Celtic and Rangers
