Shameful. Whether intentional or not they should be banned

WTF? did blow up doll put the noose/scarf,sash on itself?? Did you read the article and see who it was aimed at?

Tell me who it was aimed at. That article is a disgrace trying to say that whoever done that doll display done it as a jibe towards kris Boyd or because it was suicide awareness day. Whoever it was didn't know either of those things. Also mentioning the know your place Hun scum banner and trying to link the two. Scummy journalism at its best.
The doll display was wrong, unpleasant and rather unsettling but it was not meant in the way the article suggests.

If you dont think the doll was a dig at Kris Boyd who do you think it was aimed at. Seriously a few days on since he discussed his brother in the media. I cant see any other reason why it would be there and these scumbags do not represent me as a Celtic fan

Totaly uncalled for and I hope the people involved gets a nice fine and a long ban from parkhead

yeah Sport NI, lottery funds and club fund raising like;
Club Dunloy - still going strong
Club Lotto
Monthly draw
Yearly fund raiser on May Day
Other smaller fund raisers

we didn't have any preconditions put on us or our grounds in receiving the money. yes it was extremely hard work and were lucky to have so many people with a keen interest in wanting to be involved. It was one of the first few about at the time so that made it a bit easier to get the funding.

Money can be raised by the simplest of things that you wouldn't think worth it. Example - tea and chocolate bars during a match. Silly some may say but for all the effort it lifted near £400 at the recent championship double header. That's £400 that didn't exist before and we have done this small thing at every home game. The simplest and smallest things all contribute to something bigger.

What irks me about this is that they had the funding sorted without any pre-conditions then someone told the DUP about the gates - something that ive never even paid attention in my many visits to the ground or noticed - and all of a sudden it was something that they could stop them getting the money for.

The DUP latched to it and knew they had the club over the barrel. It was breaking their hearts to give them money and they got their way.

I wouldn't of taken a single penny of the money after that

I am getting from that, could be wrong, that we have just went for funding without raising  any of our own ?

We have raised £170k of our own

No def not, i never said that you hadnt raised any of your own money at any time. I know for a fact from speaking to people at your club that the fund raising has been on going for some time and that the members and wider area have worked hard to raise their own part.

So if Sport NI put a condition on the funds you needed that you didn't agree with you wouldn't have taken the money.

The thing is Sport Ni probably did put a condition on the funds probably nothing too drastic but you very rarely get grants without conditions.

At the end of the day we are all tax payers the vote within the club was to detail that if this was a condition would the club be happy to agree to it.

At the end of the day this no longer matters we got the funds with no conditions and hopefully the second grant applied for will come through and the building would will start very soon.

Oisinog. What are you hoping to build? Indoor hall? Gym? 3G pitch? New GAA pitch etc etc

The initial plan is new changing facilitys and a number of multi function rooms and a gym

It's my club and in the end no compromise was required funding passed , gates remaining where they are

Just for information the funds have no been approved with no conditions ie the Gates are remaining in place. The gates were being relocated within the grounds if this was being required and thankfully this is now not the case.

Fund raising has been going on for this for a number of years and it has been a very long process.

This will be a community center available to everyone and the primary user will be the Oisin Club and this hopefully will benefit the whole community in the long run.

Interesting to read in I News today that Dundalk players wanted Celtic as they reckon they could take them (after all a team from Gibraltar ran them close).It is precisely this perception that Rodgers has been brought in to dispense with.Failure to qualify is neither excusable nor an option given the investment the Board has made this summer.

They probably wanted to play Celtic as that draw would sell out the Aviva and it would be a bigger pay day for the club

Wayne Rooney getting a testimonial tonight . Two observations .

Hard to believe he is an United that long and secondly it is totally immoral a modern man united player or any premier league player in this day and age getting a testimonial .

Its a testament to player for staying at the Club for 10 years and at the end of the day its going to raise a good bit of money for Charity which is the most important thing there was a good story on the BBC sport website how a modern testimonial works and the importance of them

My sources from cushendall tell me he is not playing well at the min.

I have heard of Travel expences going in for someone who can't drive.

[Liam Watson says he dropped off the Antrim senior hurling panel partly because the players had their expenses cut.A combintion of disillusionment and lack of time led to the 33-year-old dropping out midway through the Glensmen's fruitless Division 2A campaign and he has alluded to how a lack of funds is placing Antrim hurling under severe pressure:"We were asked to take pay cuts. What's the point in going out for six nights a week if you know you are having to take a pay cut? That's where the whole fun thing comes into it. You just ask, 'what's the point?'," the Loughgiel ace states in The Belfast Telegraph"I left the panel before the London game. I just wasn't happy with the way things were going."You can't cut the players. It's not the players' fault things are bad. We are always being told we would get what we needed, but there would be a cut in it. They couldn't even get us all an Antrim hurling bag. We were coming to matches and training in our club stuff and then we are trying to get club rivalry out of the way!"We asked for gear, but it's stuff from years ago. O'Neill's are our kit makers. You go into their shops and you see there are a pile of nice new hoodies out. Antrim players weren't getting them. What's the point in going half-hearted, saying you want Antrim to do well, but not giving the backing?"I don't like complaining about it, because then people say, 'all you want is a tracksuit', but it's not. We want support."]

For those who haven't had the chance to read it yet.

Can't say I'm suprised though.

We all know players from accross our clubs who gave the best of their hurling career to playing for the county and most of them done it for the love of the sport and not the money.

Granted the players should not be out of pocket but how can he be claiming that the expences are cut when that is set by croke park.

So far at this world cup all the contenders have had a bad game. Just look at the all blacks against Georgia the other evening.

We will beat France and then have a tough 3 games ahead of us

I dont know about the free gas

I live in lisburn my self and I moved to Firmus as they are 10% cheaper that airtricity. Though that all depends on you doing your own meter readings and submiting them online

I had no problems with either supplier

And I don't care about any adults sexual preference, it's the last time I'll say it but say it again I will as you are obviously can't understand English.  But gay me shouldn't be allowed to adopt children.

Cold tea that is your opinion.

There is more evidence out there to show that parents of the opposite sex can do a worse job of raising children than people of the same sex.

2 Men would not being going out to have children to get more money from benefits I know of cases where that has happened in belfast.

Has his head ever really ever been in it as far as Antrim is concerned? You can crow back to the Cork game but thats the same game he got the line in. We were still in the game at that stage and really needed people to stand up and be counted. He did the opposite. There are those with red tinted glasses will tell you the Cork game was his best for Antrim.

In fairness you saw both sides of Watson that day. He showed he could play with the big boys but at the same time when he was not getting his own way he got the line. I have saw that too often with players in my own club
