After slapping down Holly (aged 8 from Kent), publishing the personal details of members of this Board who were foolish enough to believe that the supervisors of that sewer could be trusted and then door-stepping Tony at his place of work, the bigot brigade have stepped up their campaign of intimidation by publishing the name of Tony's employer and along with the phone number.
The numbnut knuckle-dragger with the irony bypass is being egged on in his plan to confront Tony by the other bitter little loyalists which abound in that forum of reasoned debate and goodwill:
"If this is the time when he's deemed to have gone a step too far, and has to suffer the consequences,"
Says one,
"good on you. Lets see how big a man he is then."
Says another. Let's hope that the 'consequences' aren't similar to those suffered by Robert Hamill in the same town.
Watch your back Tony. At least you have the balls to post under your own name unlike our friend 'donalmac99' who also issued a thinly veiled threat on the same topic, which was conveniently edited at the same time these other posts started on OWC.
Dirty b4stards
Obviously the mods are as good as the posters ::)
Thats an absolute disgrace!
Does Tony have any recourse for taking action against OWC?

anyone can read this forum without registering, maybe thats how they seen tonys post...doh!!!!

on another note , if true, those posts on owc are a disgrace. if not true you have used the sectarian and barbaric murder of an innocent man to point score on an internet forum and you should be ashamed, though i doubt you are. can anyone with access to this owc confirm what donagh claims or is he delibereately trying to use his wooden spoon that he was awarded in the 'brains' competition?
The posts do indeed mention tonys job, and its phone number.
The first post on the matter contains the text
Quotei would like to ask t fearon face to face why he is saying these things about my son. my son was one of the injured. I will be bringing my son into the portadown XXXXX XXXXX offices and asking this man to say these words to my sons face
"I hear it went something like "We're not Brazil we're Northe.......fcuk me jaws broke!"

So what was it you deleted from your post in response to Tonys (joke) donalmac? Why did you wait so long before deleting it and how do you explain the remarkable foresight it contained in that it pretty much predicted the posts which appeared on OWC three hours later (coincidently the same time your post was deleted)?
Sure dungball99 has nothing to do with OWC ::)
What is all this about? just want the nuts and bolts story not the long version
tony made a "joke" about the ni fans who got a kicking.
One of the fathers of a guy who got a kicking got upset and posted on owc that he had tried to contact tony at his place of work to question him about this, and was thinking of going to see if tony would say the same to the son who had received the kicking.
In doing so he mentioned where tony worked (fairly common knowledge in fairness) and also posted the phone number.

Surely the details were removed immediately and the offender banned? If not serious questions must be asked.
mac went to tonys work when he was in the area. Tony and him had a bit of a love in where tony announced he would be stopping his attacks on owc/ ni fans.
Didnt last long.
The details posted are no more than is possible to find via google in 10 seconds so i dont think tony has much more to worry about than he did yesterday.

Puck weither you find Tonys attempt at humour funny or not, it does not rate the response received on OWC, all it takes is one head-the-ball over on that site (or anybody in Portydown!) to take it upon themselves to "respond"!

Nifan, thats not an excuse, I had no idea where Tony worked, and even if it was common enough knowledge, it still should not have been posted.
Don't bother going to his workplace. Just hang around outside McDonalds. He's sure to call in.
I agree GDA, i simply mean that anyone who had wanted to find tony could have done so easily enough. In his previous job he often made reference to it on here for example.
I disagree with people posting details in such a manner
peoples real names have been posted on here and OWC from time to time by others than the poster themselves, which again i disagree with

Nifan. I thought Tony's comment tasteless but it certainly was not sectarian imo.
It does not matter if some know where Tony works, they didnt need to post the address with the phone number either.
They have been trying to intimidate him for years and they dont seem smart enough to realize that they are just playing into his hands. All they are doing is turning people who don't care one way or another about Northern Ireland into OWC haters. I have heard that from two people on here since the start of this thread.
That website can be poison at times, these men need to check themselves, they are going too far.
OWC were way out of order when they turned up at Tonys work place, it was a disgrace and they were lucky Tony took it in good spirits and didnt cause a fuss.
To allow his personal details to be shown, irrelevant of how you may find them on google, is again a disgrace. This is not how a self respecting internet forum works.
It only takes one nasty bastard (theres plenty on owc) to act on the details he got on OWC and we have a major incident.
Tony is an idiot, he spouts some amount of shite, but this should not be seen as an excuse for OWC behaving in this way.
OWC didnt turn up, mac, and individual, did.
Tony did i believe post some personal details of mac up, before this, though it may have just been his real name.
nifan, while I can see you point of view, there is no sense in making a point then say but, but, but
They posted personal details of Fearon, there can be no defence
OWC are allowing their forum to be used to spread personal details about a person & indeed attempt to get someone to 'challenge' Fearon
Quote from: nifan on September 09, 2008, 04:37:16 PM

How does a website "turn up"? Mac turned up on behalf of OWC Nifan. This cant be denied.

Absolutely GDA - there is no excuse for that material being posted on there. None whatsoever.
However, this hullaballoo would not surround an individual with wiser counsel who held a lower key persona. He is a menace to himself, and quite happily seems to enjoy his self generated spotllight.

Rubbish. If Tony has no problem posting his real name and place of work on that forum and then proceed to open his big mouth and abuse an individual whose father posts there in that manner, he has to expect consequences.
If he wants to anonomously abuse people he should remain anonomous. Otherwise he is asking for trouble, which he got.
He wants to be seen as the big man standing up to the OWC crowd, well he got his wish.

Dublinfella, are you saying you dont dissaprove of somebodies work address and phone no being shown on an anonymous internet forum???

Its waaaayyyyy OTT, but the point is the information was easy to find, Christ even I know where he works from reading this site alone, so he is asking for trouble if he carries on like he did on the OWC.
He personalised it by abusing the guys who took a very serious kicking. Now he has his reaction. If he wants to behave like that, he should have covered his backside.
And I have never been on the Rovers forum and have never heard of this sort of thing from them.
They now published the address of his workplace.
"How can he bring himself to walk down "****** Street" each morning? (http://ourweecountry.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)"
Was the response from one joker ::)
I thought fearons comment was actually funny, but sometimes in life we have to stand up for ourselves or what we have said. Fearon courts publicity whenever and wherever he can, be that in the letters column of the Bele Tele or on an internet forum, by using his own name he is asking for trouble. He may just have asked once too often in this case.
If the mods on OWC have any decency they will delete the posts mentioning his place of work and contact details and ban those involved, but I wouldnt hold my breath on that one.
I didnt know Fearon had left the C.U. until today.

He turned up of his own bat. He was not representing OWC.
Him and tony have had many back and forth spats in the papers here.
Nobody else on OWC knew he was going to be there.
If someone from this site came and talked to me, would he be talking on behalf of the GAA board?
Id say Fearon isnt too worried about it, they havent the balls to do anything.
I have to say, all the references to sectarian singing and tricolours were tastless nonsense.

Sorry, i am not defending, i think it is wrong - as i said i generally dont agree with releasing any information, that a poster doesnt venture himself, onto a forume, be that names, addresses, phone numbers.
While its wrong my point was simply that i dont think the info gives anything more dangerous in this instance than was previously available about tony.

Just what you posted here, that they barred you for winding them up
The moral of the story here is don't post anything on the internet you wouldn't have the balls to say to someones face. As Fearon was as meek as a kitten when Mac called in to visit him I'm surmising he is lacking in that department. Personally I would rather that some of Gerry McCabe's family called in to visit him after some of his remarks about Anne etc.
So how long did these personal details remain on the OWC website before they were removed??

There was none of his usual sectarian bile and it was all "a bit of a joke really", which he said he would stop. He obviously didn't have the courage to spout his usual views on "huns" etc to someone's face when challenged.

didnt have the courage?? Name and address, place of work etc in the press isnt obviously enough of a public display of his sentiments it seems, you will be after photographs next. :D
I get the impression the fact that Fearon was welcoming and ready to meet was almost a disappointment?

didn't they already?
They took pictures of his secretary and sent them to him, they claim that he is a sectarian eejit yet they monitor him an awful lot.
By the wy, Fearon told me he bitch slapped Mac down the stairs and out into the street. Funny football somewhere! pardon the pun ;)
they have just posted up a description of TF
if any of us were to meet this little p***k i can guarantee that he will be 5ft tall, his eyes too close together, 3 missing teeth, bald, pigeon chested, bad breath, big nosed, big eared, scrawny ugly wee ball bag - basically the bitterest saddest looking wee fcuker we could imagine. Bearing in mind he has no life whatsoever and he has all the time in the world to constantly write letters complaining of HIS country's national football team!
Lets start giving this little p***k a by-pass - and maybe then he go out and meet real people, make friends, get a girlfriend even - and actually get a life.
not bad ;D

They appear to be confusing Tony with ONeill.
They are now threatening to get him the sack!

QUOTE (Sonofni @ Sep 9 2008, 01:12 PM)
I just want to make it clear that my son was not one of the lads hurt real bad in the attack. my son was hurt bad enough and i find this persons coments sick. anyone of them boys could have lost their lives that day. this man tony will now have to face my son. i have tried phoning him on portadown XXX XXXXXX at his place of work. i am doing this because i have been told by someone that the coments he made were made at September 08, 2008, 4:36:28 PM and if he made these coments from his work place then i want to know what sort of a company has a man like this workign for them and making coments liek this with their time and money.
i work in IT mate and have access to lots of places policies and procedures , pm me where he works and ill see what i can do.
Also they are going on about the Slovakians siding with the Germans in WW2, calling the Slovak people Nazi's!
As an aside, the person posting on OWC as the father, only registered today at around 12pm - funny that!
just read that on owc, there is a few posters saying that he posted it during working hours and should get the sack.
The GAA board tried it's best, rose above all the mud, with poster after poster coming on condemning these unprovoked attacks on the 2 NI fans, yet with a hostile twist the OWC board ignored these acts of genuine solidarity (in these very troubled times) and just focus bile and hatred towards the only good joke made all week.
And then make out that it's the GAA board who do the stalking and us owc boys never never never stoop to their level.
Those lads circle the wagons faster than a Dub can shout "good game ref".
I agree MS that many seem to have ignored the likes of yourself and others and their very fair views on the comments, and focused on tonys "joke". Thats normal enough between boards like here and there
Im most shocked that you thought it was a good joke - i thought it was crap - not due to offense or anything, it was just balls.
All this balls about getting him the sack though - hes posted much worse on work time before, and unless his work was to take a dim view of the amount of time spent here (and a lot of us could be in trouble with that) i dont think this comment will pose any danger for him in general.
What sort of sado rings someone's place of work over something they said on an internet discussion board?

Once the worst has been known about their condition then I'm partial to the bit of black humour.
Quote from: Solomon Kane on September 09, 2008, 06:11:52 PM
The moral of the story here is don't post anything on the internet you wouldn't have the balls to say to someones face. As Fearon was as meek as a kitten when Mac called in to visit him I'm surmising he is lacking in that department. Personally I would rather that some of Gerry McCabe's family called in to visit him after some of his remarks about Anne etc.
No the moral is don't post anything on OWC, ever, as this is not the first time the personal details of posters were aired on the discussion board, with the moderators making at best a half hearted effort to remove them. Tony's remarks were objectionable to majority of posters on the board, but there are certain standards expected of a well run discussion board - i.e. offensive remarks removed and the offender banned. But ten out of ten on the effort to distract from the real issue.
I thought Tony's quip was quite funny. Would someone tell me why its offensive? And while you're at it, take a look at the sick jokes on the humour thread.
But because of Tony's letter writing, the OWC are once again going out of their way to be offended. I now firmly believe that being offended must be a unionist trait.
I'm not complaining though - barrel, fish, shooting :)
Where has Tony gone anyway - tell us what happened Tony...

More typical bullsh1t from the OWCers
Regardless of what has been said, why cant you just say it is a disgrace that his personal details have been published ???
What sticks out on that board is the number of people hoping that justice is served for the attacks - via a good kicking. ::)
I'd say OWC would be on very dodgy ground if anything does happen to Fearon over this. He should phone the Police and tell them the source.
Just a quick question lads. I signed up to OWC last night to see what the site was like but still can't get into the site. It say's that it is 'Patron Friendly' or something and that members, such as myself, are locked out to keep it fast for Patrons.

You need to wait til someone looks at your registeration, then you will be allowed on, but not allowed to start topics only respond, but nearly half the forums are for patrons only, to access these, you will need to pay £5 I think.
believebelive,
OWC has a system that when it gets very busy it gives priority to those who have paid a one off £5 donation to the upkeep of the site. Around game times when it is very busy sometimes the site becomes patrons only for a while
Should stew have posted macs real surname on this site, and should it be removed if not?
Tried to register last night as well to see what all the cafuffel is about, and they werent having me, although the username Dan Breen wouldnt have helped my cause!

Because the chap in questions son was the guy who got the beating from the mobsters. It's not that it was 'offensive' per say, but just to close to home and from the guy it was from.
I asked for quite some time on this site, why has Fearon been continually permitted the platform to spout his sectarian talk about 'The Huns', demonising everything to do with NI fans, all leading up to his gloating laugh about the assualt on the NI fans in Bratislava.
Why wasnt that stopped long ago before things got out of hand?

To be fair, blood is blood. Been left fuming on here myself a few times when friends & family have been slagged off for their performances on the GAA pitch. Can just imagine if it was one of my family that took a pasting I'd react in a similar manner. However it's up to the administrators to police such things so they don't get out of hand.
Hi Lads,
This thread, and a couple of others, have taken a fairly major turn for the worse, after a relative period of calm. We tolerate a certain amount of political chat here, as long as it is a) civilised, and b) non-sectarian.
I do not believe that there has been much, if any, sectarian comments on these threads, but it is fairly unsettling to read some of the comments which really betray a serious dislike. Obviously some people feel that way, which is their own business, but this GAAboard is not going to be dragged down into the mire of bitter, twisted arguments, with no debate as such, between Ussuns and Themmuns.
Many posters here have questioned the moderators on the OWC forum for some topics and posts that have appeared on that site, which is fair comment a lot of the time, but if you are really bothered about OWC, I'd suggest you have little enough to be worrying about. Discussing OWC is not a rule here, and we obviously have several 'cross over' posters. As long as the conversations are debates, we're okay with it, up to a point.
That point has been crossed these past day or two. An unseemly joy in reporting that some OWC fans got a kicking in Slovakia was a bit hard to read, and it is easy to see why people connected to the issue would have a hard time hearing about/reading those comments. I think we need to take a long look at ourselves, and ask what our reaction would have been if similar comments were posted about that Roscommon/Sligo lad that got hammered up in Belfast after the Connacht Rugby match? I'm sure many of our posters would have been rightly annoyed and angry, especially people who knew him. This is very similar, and I think we should all consider that before we post. Just like the board has been reminded that GAA people and their friends read it, obviously people from non-GAA backgrounds can hear about things posted here. For the 100th time, it's a small country.
Secondly, we all agree, I think, that posting of Tony's details on OWC was out of order, and their mods have removed those posts, which acknowledges they agree too. However, we now have one poster using a moniker which refers to the real identity of a prominent OWC poster, and at least one other who has referred to that individuals real surname in a couple of posts.
These posters know who they are and while the person himself is not a member of this forum, revealing someone's identity, when they have chosen to remain anonymous, is still a major no-no in my opinion. Just because some posters on OWC have stepped out of line, does not mean we have to retaliate in a similar fashion.
That's my spiel on this, and I hope some sort of sensibleness can return to debate between OWC members who post here, and ourselves. And finally, I would ask you to consider how these 'joke' posts about serious harm being visited on innocent parties would be viewed by friends of the parties, or the parties themselves. We need to exercise some cop on here lads.

Because you haven't put a proper case. I believe the term is used in reference to Rangers supporters. As a substantial amount of your support are also Rangers supporters the it seems fair enough. Go to Google advanced search and do a search of OWC with the words 'beggars', 'tarmackers', 'tinkers', 'gypsy' and let us know the amount of hits you get ::)
The constant MOPEing about sectarianism by OWC every time someone like Tony criticises your team is very amusing though - especially when religion hasn't been mentioned.

He may well do, but you boys don't do yourselves any favours by choosing the ad hominem argument in response to everything he writes something. At best it displays the ignorance of the OWC members and at worst, as we have seen the past few days, could be viewed as incitement to hatred and/or violence. Tony would have a very good case in the later category if he choose to take it forward.

The explicit suggestion of physical violence on those particular threads is not the point. The are enough other references to Tony throughout that site (I believe he even has his own thread or two) with many unwarranted personal attacks on him. Anyone with half a brain would know that in that context, to publish that persons personal details could very well invite or incite someone to go and pay him a visit. Add in the fairly poisonous nature of the town in which he now works and the amount of Catholics that have been murdered there out of hatred, then it all becomes much more 'sinister' i.e. if you build him up as a hate figure, then publish his details, you really shouldn't be surprised that he is attacked (though the DUP were able to do a fair bit of hand-wringing over the years).
Was there a reference to the same happening to Fearon as happened to Robert Hamill?

No, but Tonys workplace wouldn't be a million miles away from where he was murdered.
Any word on TF. Is he safe and well, and still larger than life, or has he gone into hiding??
Hard not to laugh about the whole affair!!
The OWC, by not permanently banning that poster, is so far out of order its ridiculous.
Dont be suprised if Tony is confronted again, perhaps in a more nasty fashion next time.
Solomon Kanes comment that he didnt have the "balls" to be anything but meek when an OWC poster turned up in his office are outrageous and sick. Views on internet forums should be kept there, and never result in people confronting each other "face to face" about these views.
If Tony is confronted at his work place and / or attacked, OWC should be reported to the police immediately. I believe his details were deliberately poster there, and deliberatly left there, so people with sinister intentions could act on it.
This is beyond a joke, I truly believe OWC have left Tony in physical danger here.
No matter how bitter or twister I think someones views are on here, I would never even consider revealing their personal details or work address. Thats inciting trouble.

If something did happen to him it could be difficult to say it was due to the post on OWC -
Tony has made himself a known figure by his constant "campaign", and highlights every time there is a picture of him in the paper or whatever.

As they said in the blues brothers tony seems to be " on a mission from god" ;)
Thats true nifan, but OWC plain and simple gave out his address and no, no "tracking down" needed, I beleive this was deliberate.
If anything happened it would be very difficult to prove it was OWCs fault yes. But that wouldnt mean its not their fault, just that it cant be proven.
They are getting into very murky waters with that sort of carry on. I think they know themselves this sort of thing could put Tony in danger, and I think this is why the details were poster AND this is why the mods left them there long enough for plenty to see them.

That's a moot point nifan. What is not debatable is whether someone on OWC should have posted that information.

He got his reaction and hadn't the good sense to retain his anonymity.
Nifan is substantivly right. A search of this site would give you his workplace, where to find photos and a good stab at where he lived. OWC shouldnt have posted what they did, but he needs to dramatically get a grip if he thinks he can carry on like that.

I agree, with both of ye (nifan and yourself) that Tony is not shy about his identity, or his profession or much else. In many ways it's to his credit. But if you post the things he posts, and are public about your identity, you are obviously putting yourself in a precarious position. If I posted under my real name, and abused someone local to me, I would be a bit wary of meeting that person :D
However, the substantive point in this is not Tony's cop on, or lack of it. The point is that the lads who posted that information on OWC, especially in the context it was posted in was bang out of order in my opinion. That's the key issue.

Tony did not post the joke on OWC, he posted it here, and some OWC troll quickly ran to their site crying foul - obviously waiting for any opportunity to feel oppressed!
Tony made a joke/comment (abeit in some peoples minds in bad taste) and it has been blown out of all proportion - ffs I don't think anyone on here can say that they have not made a throw away remark about topical issues at some stage or other.
I suggest that you register on their site and read some of the vile filth they spout, before you come on here preaching!

I'm not the only person saying Fearon needs to cop on when it comes to winding them up and I clearly stated I thought the posters on the OWC site were offside. If you are going to attempt these feeble attempts to pass judgement on me, at least have the cop on to read what I am saying.

The fact that Tone can wind them up en mass is amazing. Imagine if he got a few like minded people to join him in his crusade, there'd be civil war.
it isnt just ni fans he can wind up, when he posts on tyrone or the hillsborough he can get people fairly agitated too with a range of biased or despicable views.
Yes he is a wind up merchant, but its only a bit of banter. As far as i can see he hasnt physically personally abused anyone.
The comment in question may have been made in poor taste, but fuckin hell its hardly a crime.

Mind you, just like people wrongly labelling GAA fans etc, when he goes on the radio, in the papers etc spouting his crap I do actually think it helps to encourage an environment in which innocent people are verbally or physically abused.

Emus get a look-in too, but it's generally restricted to spotting large flightless birds.
Fearon is a one man crusade and i dont think he influences anyone in their views. He doesnt hold any position of influence in society.
Some people may share his opinions, but realistically these are opinions that people would have held before Tony Fearon came onto the scene.
He pens his identity to his rantings and if a connection can be made between any of his views or comments to an act of violence or abuse well then i would agree he has crossed the line.

I wouldn't be so sure - for example I'm sure some people who heard his nonsense on Radio Ulster about NI fans singing a sectarian song at the Millennium Stadium, for example, took it at face value.

That 'etc' you used. Would that also include referring to the GAA - an organisation of which many of those 'GAA fans' are members - as a 'pillar of institutionalised sectarianism'?
That view belongs to a fellow OWC member of yours who expresses a deep desire to keep his real identity quiet. Now that's courage of your convictions! :D
Let me know what he says when you chastise him about it! ::)
I'd include any unfair labelling of GAA fans as sectarian or insinuation that they are involved in sectarianism.

Ah I think you are on the right site with OWC, after all those guys are well known for sticking their heads in the sand when faced with uncomfortable realities.
Anywho, should you not be celebrating a very creditable draw, rather than slumming it over here?
The Tonygate scandal seems to have been forgotten :o
Any word of the rotund fellow?
Bet he is salivating at the attention he is getting :D
He was on earlier.
I have deliberately considered this matter before responding.
My response is one of total bemusement. My comment was (as 99.99% of my comments are) intended to be humourous. On reflection I can now see that a victim or relative of one might not see the funny side, so in that regard I would concede it was in poor taste. In terms of personal safety, maybe its the taig in Portadown thing (when you have walked into the midst of a loyalist mob in 1974, at the bottom of the Garvaghy Road, at the time of the UWC strike with no light/electricity and survived, you do tend to become immune to fear) but I take the view if you're going to drown you'll not be hanged. I believe this says a lot about OWC its moderators and the general membership of that site, far more eloquently than any amount of letters from me.
In the past I used to get postcards from OWC at work, from practically every away country they visited, unsigned of course. On one occasion I had a visit from an OWC member, when I got the call to my office I was unsure as to his motives, but I agreed to meet him, and he had no ulterior motive for the visit, and we got on very well and found that we agreed on almost everything.
You see, unlike OWC with me, its not personal as far as I'm concerned. My main point is that the IFA has failed to create a soccer entity in this part of Ireland which commands the respect and allegiance of the entire community. Simple as that and an irrefutable fact.
Good to see you're still about Tony. Was worried when you weren't about a few days there.

I'd broadly agree, YIW, but the problem for me lies in defining the word, 'banter.'
What Fearon wrote was banter only to those who chose to accept it as such.
When he decided to post his 'joke' on the OWC forum, he knew full well that some readers were going to be enraged at what they were always going to take as a low, tasteless and totally unprovoked taunt.
Either that or he is in need of serious counselling.
The fact that some close relatives of the lad who was assaulted would read his post would have been obvious to Fearon also. I sympathise with the father who was upset and who replied – but he went to far in posting personal details and his post should have been taken down. I think Fearon's post should have been removed also as its sole purpose was to upset OWC readers.
The fact that the OWC mods did not remove one or both of the posts in question is, I think, irrelevant as they didn't see the joke either. If Fearon decided to post on their board it meant he was accepting their ideas as to what is acceptable or not.
What I really don't understand is the fact that he uses his real name to post and he has freely handed his phone number and work address out.
I'd feel he is deliberately asking for trouble.
It's not the father I'd be concerned about but there just might be some other reader who would decide to pay Mr Fearon a visit and who'd bring a baseball bat along with him.
He didnt post it on OWC, he posted it here.
I was going to say was he not banned from OWC a long time ago? I dont think he posted it here either as I checked through his posting history to see the offending post and there was nothing there.

Lets get something clear here, and I stand to be corrected on this
1) Fearon didnt post his joke on owc
2) Fearon doesnt post on owc fullstop
3) The joke wasposted on owc by an owc member who likes to scan this place

Need to get some facts right before commenting on the story
Come on now Lar, you have lost the run of yourself here.
FFS lads get a sense of humour - I've just posted a joke about the boat sinking (albeit a shite joke), now there maybe someone on here whose friend or family member was on the boat and would think that the "joke" was in bad taste, well sorry, but just how PC do things have to get in our society before we turn into the US of f**king A! >:(

No.
But I do remember the outrage over the Maddie jokes that where doing the rounds - now that was a case where an individual could be identified and their family, that was wrong.
In Tony's case he made a crude "joke" at the expense of an
incident, afaik none of the OWC lads had their jaw broken?
In fact nifan the one lad my heart really goes out to is the fella Gareth, who suffered a injury, which has cost him a testicle.
Now if Tony or anyone had made reference to that, then I would be the first to call for their banning from this board.
As for where one draws the line, I think draw it with a bit of common sense.

Okay, I stand corrected on one point – Tony Fearon posted his remarks on this board and not on the OWC one. With due respect, that fact is not clear from the first couple of pages of this thread, nor is it clear that the father of the guy at the end of Tony's sense of humour was replying on one board while the boul' Fearon had posted to another.
If it is a fact that I got that matter wrong, I did it in good faith and anyone else could reasonably do the same, after reading the opening posts here.
But gaaboard is a public forum and no one, Tony Fearon included, can honestly predict who is going to read what he or she has written.
I wouldn't fancy being stuck with a load of the posters on the OWC board either but that is a matter of opinion, but it is a matter of fact that many OWCers would regard what Tony wrote as highly offensive. Again, the man knows what he is doing and maybe it was meant to be offensive to the people in question; regrettable but that is his choice.
What I can't understand is why he has made his real name, place of work and his phone number freely available and at the same time gors out of his way to offend some of those of an OWC frame of mind.
The fact that the father in question seems to have posted those details on the OWC board means they must be freely available to all who happen to read that post.
The father only said he might bring his son along to confront the man who posted that 'joke' but can anyone guarantee that others might stop at verbal confrontation?
If I was Tony Fearon I'd be watching my back.
Now, can anyone tell me where the 'bullshit' is in what I've written here?

The above, which you posted is complete bullsh1t
If the OWC guys were offended by Tonys remarks, fine, thats understandable.
But if you spend an hour reading on OWC as a GAA an, or worse still, post there, you would see several extremely offensive comments directed towards you and the GAA. Sure Sammy G even claims, and holds to it, that the GAA is a racist organisation.
That said, would you post their personal details up here as a result?
It'll all blow over. I'd imagine Rose McGowan is next on their list...

As well as our Rosie they have:
Martin Bloody Sheen (real name Estevez, long time Provo apologist), his kids,
Mickey Rourke (what a brain dead Clampett, apparently regrets it now),
John Ford (I think),
Gene Kelly( gave them money),
our own Stephen Quisling Rea (married Provo bomber),
John Lennon (backed them until he found out that they werent murdering for the emancipation of ALL the working classes, this while he was one of the richest men in America, "Working Class Hero" my arse!)
Paul McCartney ("Give Ireland Back To The Irish" yes Paul rolleyes.gif its that simple isnt it sarcastic.gif )
Bill Clinton ( wandered round Oxbridge espousing the Provo cause in his student days)
Jim Sheridan ( he's from Oireland though, still a provo w*nker!)
That lanky tw*t Tim Robbins who insisted on only drinking in Republican bars when he was filming City of Ember in Belfast.
Have my doubts about Brad Pitt.
Guy Ritchie (drives around listening to "Irish Rebel Music")
Sting( at one stage, probably wised up now)
Paul Weller (much to my annoyance, silly ideas about being a leftie, as if the Provos were ever lefties rolleyes.gif )
Paul Heaton (see above)
Bananarama ( believe it or not)
House Of Pain. ( personally heard them shouting IRA on stage, quite like to "Jump Around" all over their boat-races!)
Robert Wyatt. ( being in a wheelchair, you'd think he might understand the plight of other people who have been put in wheelchairs)
& of course, Jeremy Hardy, (whiny comedian sarcastic.gif , dont get me started...oh okay then...arrogant, self rightious, posh little d*ckhead, who thinks he's some sort of revolutionary, & a true Provo apologist!)

Not to take this thread off track, Ziggy, but I think
any right-minded people would be at least little bit annoyed (and many angry and offended) with Rose McGowan's comments. The IRA didn't just murder people from one side of the community, you know. ::)
Jeremy Hardy? You're kidding me!
Anyway, don't be forgetting former Labour MP Tony Benn and former London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

"They". Yep, it's always "they".
From Our Wee Cesspit:
Is there any big names out there that have the balls to come out on our side?
Julie Burchill (who?)
wet wet wet
Hugh Grant
Nice sidestep.

Donagh is better at sidestepping than a Welsh Fly-Half...
Talking of which, I'm still awaiting an answer to my question from him in the "Some people have nothing better to do" thread, where he sidestepped my inital question, so that I had to rephrase it from the "hypothetical" ;) position of his being a supporter of Sinn Fein policy! :D
P.S. We know you're out there right now, Donagh, so what about it then, eh? Simple answer to a simple question?
Frustrated at his attempts to identify a member of Gaaboard, OWCs resident Private Pike aka Sicknote has imploded and added Donagh to EGs list of the NI soccer teams worst supporters - joining such luminaries as Paddy Kielty, Marie Jones and Tony Fearon. Hey Sickboy you confuse my disdain for loyalist bigots with my disinterest in soccer even of the OWC variety. No need for you to come over here with my award, sure just PM my account on OWC with it, there's a good lad. ;)
In what sense am I classified as one of the North of Ireland team's worst supporters when I don't,never have or will support this team?

They're saying you jumped ship onto the Jackie Charlton bandwagon.

Calm down, old boy; in his rush to post, Donagh didn't actually read the List properly.
In fact, you weren't actually on it, you merely got a "(Dis)Honourable Mention in Dispatches" as a
former NI fan.
What's that? You were never an NI supporter then? Fair enough, if you say so.
And Gerry Adams was never a Provo, either... ::)
Bullshit. My first game live at Lansdowne was way back in 1977 and I certainly didn't support the North of Ireland during the World Cup Finals of 1982 or 1986. As I've said often in the past I have attended many Windsor Park games (the last one was 1995 by the way) more or less to watch favourite club players. Sadly I always felt totally alienated from the team playing in green there and had no sense then or now that this team was playing for me.

I fear you are mistaken once more. You see, there's no actual award, it was just a bit of fun. But if you'd like some sort of nomination, why not just post on the Board? Or get one of your little gang of lurkers to nominate you instead?
Or is actually joining in too much for you? Hmmm, perhaps you'd better stick to Voyeurism... :D

So much fun you spend most of your time over here. Aye, I can hardly contain myself at the thought of all the fun I could have over in Sicknotes
community centre Romper Room.
Is there really a thread over there about the "worst supporters" of their team???
That and the fact that they have an "our detractors" section suggests a real persecution complex.
That said, theres been some extremely sinister behaviour from members of that site towards some of those "detractors" so I wont say any more lest I make their "hitlist".

Certainly enough fun for you and the rest of "The Famous Five" to spend time lurking in the shadows.
Doers do, but Voyeurs merely watch"... ;)

There was a spoof in The Times a few days back: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article5232268.ece?token=null&offset=0&page=1
The OWC thread was merely a spoof NI version of the same.
I hope that has put your mind at rest, but if not, why don't you log on to see for yourself?
Once again, His holiness NB backs warily away ;D

The OWC can eat shite.
I spent an hour today chatting to OWC's sickboy, in a 1-2-1 conversation. I found him to be very pleasure, highly intelligent and up for reasonable debate about different things. Whether it be OWC, GAA, Norn Iron, Ireland, Politics. You'd be surprised to learn how enlightened I found him to be.
He must have finally caved into your desperate pleas to buy a Greencastle raffle ticket (not before you threw in a free copy of MH's book).

In the past I'm sure some people enjoyed a pint in their local pub with Fred West or Torrens Knight or Nelson McCausland, except Nelson.
