What about amalgamations? There's a brave few clubs in Armagh who form amalgamations at underage and it gives some of the smaller clubs who struggle to field at senior never mind underage a chance of some silverware.

I know a guy scored a header as an u10.

I take it the u21 grade isn't taken too seriously in Fermanagh?

Clan na Gael, one of five clubs in Lurgan.

Formed in 1922 shortly after predecessors (Lurgan Michael Davitt's) disbanded. Notable achievements include 3 Ulster Club triumphs in the 70s, culminating in an AI final appearance only to lose in the replay, 14 Armagh SFCs and providing two players on the Armagh AI winning side.

What about United fans who love Ferguson? He played for Rangers and spat on Celtic fans - are they pieces of shit as well?

I must confess to being surprised at this. Any link to support it? It would shock me if Alex Ferguson had spat on Celtic fans, although Old Firm matches have been known to drive the most mellow of characters to do insane things, and 'mellow' is never a word you'd use to describe Alex.
Fabricated fiction I'd imagine from a dellusional LFC supporter trying to sully the good name of Sir Alex.

There is an image floating about with him in a Celtic kit, his wife is/was RC and IIRC his father a Celtic supporter. So this 'disdain' for Celtic that some people are trying to portray is far off the mark. The disgusting treatment he received from Rangers would indicate that he maybe has a dislike for them despite having played for and supported them when he was younger.

What about the long term damage to our environment lads? These things are 180meters tall, and for the project to work there will be loads of them!!
Yes - a small number of people will earn a living wage out of the proposal, but what impact will these windmills have on the people who live in the area?

Exporting beef & butter doesnt damage the environment lads so its not fair to make such a comparison

How would you like to live in an area where they are been erected? These things would dwarf those erected in Co. Derry, and they are bloody awful looking and have certainly devalued the area
Are these bogs not massive, I didn't think there'd be too many people living in and around them? What's the lifespan on these things?

You'd be hard pushed to find anyone celebrating it today.

I see on twitter/facebook some Unionists have moved their attentions onto another flag, namely that of the BA Parachute Regiment... Coinciding with a certain anniversary funnily enough.

These people have no shame. Whatever about civilian casualties from IRA actions I have never seen anyone, nationalist, republican or otherwise, celebrate civilian deaths.

Sick fcukers.  >:(

By the way, I thought the BBC had some sort of charter requiring it to attempt to provide balance in audience-participation shows. What's the story there, does anybody know?

Interesting point.  I know for programmes like "Question Time" there is a requirement to have a "balanced" audience.  QT was rapped over the knuckles for the audience make up after 9/11.  From what I've read here it's clear most of the audience were unbalanced.

I thought the audience was fairly well balanced, tbh ... loyalist scum, tramps, gobshites and illiterate 'community' workers.  Let's hope they don't display any brains and decide to utilise yer woman Jabba the Hun, cos she could block every road into east Belfast on her own
:) VG

Nolan show was funny as f**k, I thought Nolan looked like he was shitting himself.  The danger is that the lack of balance of last night's show could give the impression of a groundswell of support (an arab spring in East Belfast  :P) when really a few thousand scumbags are holding the place to ransom.  There is no way out of this-  bar bribes.

Dont know if it was touched upon last night or it was some other NI politics show, but I think SF missed out bigstyle by not playing ball in Limavady, if they'd agreed to re?-instate the designated days for the UJ instead of a blanket no UJ flag policy it would have ramped up the pressure on Unionism / Loyalism bigtime.  I used to always say Unionists were ok to deal with in areas where they didn't hold the whip hand and there was no talking to them where they did, I'm afraid the Shinners are heading that direction - if they haven't already got there.
Can only assume SF were sticking to their policy in Limaady ie both flags or no flags, which is fair enough IMO. Limavady has enough Union flags most of the year anyway.

The Nolan Show may be different, but I have been part of a BBC NI audience for a pre-recorded show before. All I did was apply (free) for tickets on the website and they supposedly choose randomly who gets them. My assumption is that since this fiasco kicked off in December that a lot of Loyalists have been applying to be on the show thus the imbalanced crowd.
