Define "tout" for me? 

Slievegullion

Get a grip will you, Sean O'Callaghan, Martin McGarland, Slievegullion, Eamon collins....  

If SG is not a tout, what would you describe him as then?

A poster on gaaboard.com who reported  unacepatable abuse that came his way!

do you not feel that he was trying to get a reaction out of LB Though?

why wud u email someone to say that their posts are shite?

for all we know SGs posts were full of derogatory  remarks!!


we need a mod on here to clarify the situation



wheres ziggy at now ?

The North of Ireland is a term used by thousands to refer to this region and implies no  bigotry or prejudice. You might as well try to argue that the term "Northern Ireland" and its use is evidence of bias. Its the same as using Derry or "Londonderry", no bias or prejudicial claims can be attached to any person for whichever name he or she decides to use when referring to a place.

But when you're using the name of an organisation - e.g. the South Belfast NISC - most people would generally use the actual name of the organisation, unless they were trying to make a point. In the same way that it would be improper for someone to talk about Londonderry City soccer club or Londonderry GAA.

Much like the former minister for sport up here referring to the All Ireland Final as an international competition 

Indeed.

So tony has the credentials to be the new sports minister?


that would be fun!

[Maybe some people are too easily offended. So Longballs gave a bit of abuse]

Maybe some people are too easily offended. So Longballs gave a bit of abuse, reporting someone is like being a tout. Be a man and take it in the ass Pints.

Maybe??
Some people are just c***ts

To be fair, while there are a lot of people on here that go out of their way to be offended, there are a few as well that do their damnedest to offend needlessly.

Nail on the head there.

Lads, if you think SG is a tout or a **** because he's reported abuse then I hope that whatever simple, care free lives you must live continue. 

Does ONL know more about this than what meets the eye?


hmmmmm

Anyone got odds on player of the year awards?


rooney is a definite shout this year.

I have been reliably informed that SG doesnt even own a dog 


i smell a rat

Well then this blows the whole thing wide open!!

I have received an e mail from Longballs, wonder should I post it?

i think it deserves a new thread


LONGBALLS COMES CLEAN

The best North of Ireland supporters seem to be able to do, when I put them behind the eight ball, is to refer to the GAA (a comparison is totally invalid), instead of addressing the key issue which is the IFA's hijacking of a global sport and politically aligning it in a partisan way to one part of a deeply polarised community. This is manifested by the flags display outside the South Belfast North of Ireland Supporters Club. To claim that the flag display is coinciding with a game is farcical.

This is the root cause of the decades of sectarianism witnessed at Windsor Park, and indeed the continued alienation of 45% of the six county community from the IFA and its team.

Until this is addressed no progress can be made and claims of being non sectarian and promoting football for all will remain hollow.

Tony, you know well by now that they are the masters of whataboutery!

this thread was originally about SBNISC but it went off on such a tangent that it wud put ur tumble dryer to shame!

Another 1 for you to try.


A baked potato with Cesear salad, grated cheese, rosemary and red onion. ( with a sprinkle of vinegarette)

very tasty indeed.

[However seems like the scotland flag is now a permanent fixture]

I took a look at this club on google maps to see what tony is on about.

In the pic there is a SCOTLAND flag flying outside. Is this normal practise?

Check the thread from last year. Scotland where NI's next opponent is the explanation the OWC lads gave.

That was my understanding - I mentioned the german flag that caused some contention at the time as well.
However seems like the scotland flag is now a permanent fixture

no not just in the week before the scottish game 

[Private social and international supporters club displays national flags shocker]

Private social and international supporters club displays national flags shocker 

This thread is ridiculous, started by the biggest joker of all who annually posts the same inaccurate nonsense. 

Do you not fell it is ironic that it claims to be a northern ireland supporters club, yet flies a Scotland flag? 

Intermediate Chamiopnship Quarter Final  Friday 7th August 2009
Wolfe Tones 1-12 St.Peters 2-6
A superb last fifteen minutes from Wolfe Tones provided the catalyst for a championship win against near rivals St.Peters on Friday evening at Clann Eireann and sees the team progress to the last four   of the championship for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. 
The game started in a cagey fashion and it was the 6th minute before any real incident of note.  Gerard Kavanagh, who's inspiring second half performance against Collegeland, led to him earning a starting place, continued where he had left off in the previous round and opened the scoring with a fine point.  Connor McCarron, who had been gaining a lot of possession in the early stages, found Gerard with a cross field pass and Gerard was able to turn his man and kick a score from 25 yards. 
This point should have settled the Tones, but less than 60 seconds later Tones keeper Kieran Murray was picking the ball out of his net.  After possession was given away cheaply, Darren Moore was afforded too much space and drove the ball past Kieran Murray from a narrow angle, beating Kieran at the far post.  St.Peters appeared to receive a confidence boost after this and after Emmet Haughian had missed a free, Keith Totton was able to kick a fine point after St.Peters worked the ball to him cooly under pressure from the Tones defence. 
More sloppy play from the Tones in their own defence in the 15th minute allowed St.Peters centre half back Chris Toman to make a surge up the field and shoot a fine score with his weaker left foot.  This was immediately cancelled out by a fine Tones score from corner forward Emmet Haughian.  After winning possession Emmet was able to beat his man and kick a fine score on the run from around 30 yards. 
Both sides then exchanged wides, before the Lurgan side extended their lead.  A lack of communication in the Tones defence was punished by a St.Peters point and the freecrow men where enjoying a 5 point advantage after 24 minutes. 
The Tones rallied in the remaining minutes of the half and where able to reduce the deficit to three points going into the interval.  After 27 minutes, after great work by minor players Chris McCarron and James Lavery, James slipped the ball through to Chris McAlinden who briefly had a sight of goal, but he took the sensible option and fisted the ball over the bar.  Ryan McQuillan then made a fine solo run down the Tones left in the 29th minute and after he was pulled down Chris McAlinden converted this was the last meaningful event of the first half. 
Half Time Wolfe Tones 0-04 St.Peters 1-4
St.Peters will have been slightly aggrieved to only be three points ahead at half time, but after only a minute of the second half they put four points between the sides. 
Wolfe Tones had to wait 8 minutes of the second half before registering their first score which was a Chris McAlinden free from around 35 yards.  This was followed by wides from Niall Geoghegan and Conor Coleman.  After 43 minutes, Declan Lavery was able to get his first point for the Tones after a long time on the sidelines with injury.  Gerard Kavanagh was able to win possession and lay it off to Declan who sent over a fine score with his left foot. 
At this stage, the Tones seemed to be in the ascendancy, however, they where hit with a sucker punch after 14 minutes of the second half.  Owen McCormack's run was not followed and he was able to sell Chris McCarron a fine dummy and unselfishly squared the ball to Darren Moore who had the simple task of punching to the net from 3 yards.  The Tones did not panic and responded immediately with a free from Chris McAlinden, his 4th of the game.     
After 48 minutes, Davey Wilson scored arguably the score of the game from around 35 yards out from a narrow angle he as able to kick a point with his left foot leaving 5 points again between the sides.  The Tones again showed great character to immediately respond with a score of their own.  Declan Lavery, who was getting more involved in a half forward position, struck a fine scored from 35 yards to leave the Tones within touching distance. 
In the 50th minute came a crucial moment in the game.  John Toal who had just been introduced as a substitute, looked to have cut the deficit again when his shot appeared to be going over the bar.  The ball hit the post and the quickest man to react was Gerard Kavanagh who blasted to the net , to leave the minimum between the sides.  In the 51st minute, Chris McAlinden added another free and the sides where level for the first time since the sixth minute. 
St.Peters then appeared to be awarded a soft free after Conor Coleman was adjudged to have thrown the ball.  David Wilson had the simple task of kicking a point from 21 yards and he duly obliged to put St.Peters a point ahead again. 
With five minutes remaining the Tones where frantically pushing for an equaliser.  The ball broke to Brendan Coleman who's snapshot went over the bar to bring the sides level.  With three minutes remaining, James Lavery showed experience beyond his years to put the Tones in front for only the second time of the game.  James was in a large crowd of p[layers and rather than recycle the ball swung onto his weaker left foot and scored a wonderful point from 35 yards.   In the 58th minute, John Toal who had been very dangerous since his introduction turned his man and when a possible goal was on wisely fisted the point. 
Two minutes into injury time John Toal was at it again, turned his man and kicking a fine point to leave three points between the sides.  St.Peters where now desperately for a goal and after Barry Keegan had kicked a wayward free wide, Brendan Coleman made a great late block before the referee blew for full time. 
The last 15 minutes was very exciting and credit must go to both teams for this.  Tones will be encouraged by the 1-9 they where able to score in the last 22 minutes of the game and the fight and team spirit that the players showed in the last quarter of the game and can now look forward to the semi final on either Saturday 29 August or Sunday 30 August.
Full time Wolfe Tones 1-13 St.Peters 2-7
Wolfe Tones team; Kieran Murray, Michael Carson, David Heaney, Chris McCarron, Connor McCarron, Finnian Moriarty, Ryan McQuillan, James Lavery(0-01), Conor Coleman,  Niall Geoghegan, Chris McAlinden(0-05 ,4 f) Brendan Coleman(0-01), Declan Lavery(0-02), Gerard Kavanagh(1-01) and Emmet Haughian(0-01)  Subs: John Toal(0-02) for Connor McCarron
