[Name the full forward on your club's last championship outing.]

Newbies,
Name your county and club as well as last years AI hurling champions

Too easy.
Name the full forward on your club's last championship outing.

U-16's

[police officers.]

The lads came to our little village this morning to arrest one man. Came in 25 landrovers, had about 10 dogs, and 100 police officers.


Shocking use of resources.

3 cars & one Land Cruiser, 16 PSNI  at the end of a lane where my mother lives (she's 87). There wouldn't  be 10 cars
using  this particular road in a day, yet here they were, lounging around, doing what i wonder??

Any similarity between these boyo's and Police Officers is purely co-incidental

Hello all, Im only new to the board and the reason why I have signed up is because I am looking for a Dubln 1983 jersey.  Would anyone have one that they might want to sell or does anyone know where I might get one.  Its for a present, the size isnt really important, its just for the momento.

Thanks

Think Elverys in Dundum Shopping Centre have these on sale.

Hunter talks some shite!

was just about to post that myself

10 - 06 to Carmen, 4 minutes + injury time left

"Nobody said anything about wearing a f**kin' tie Fergie!

Who'd be the favourites for the Armagh SFC now lads?

[Big loss to Down when we need him most.]

Hearing rumours that Marty has become dissullusioned with the Aussie game and is likely to return to football soon, but to Kerry, not Down. 
Apparently he has met a Kerry girl in OzLand and is to take up residence near Tralee. Big loss to Down when we need him most.

Get somebody down there to talk to him............pronto!!

Jesus wept   

meaning?

[ROI got what they wanted]

You said that you agreed with me that the ROI got what they wanted and so didn't care.  I didn't give a reason why they didn't give a shite about nationalist complaints.

I meant they got what they wanted, ie 26 counties.

I didn't say they got what they wanted.

Sorry, you've lost me?

[15 points on Sunday makes him KK's all time championship scorer,]

I have remained undecided on this so far.  My heart is with the Cats tomorrow but I think Tipp will win by a few points. There is only one thing that can stop Tipp and that will be a huge performance from Henry and if he scores 5 or six crucial points from play and the Cat's get the four in a row then I think Henry will be King for me.

15 points on Sunday makes him KK's all time championship scorer, surpassing Keher's record of 429 points.

Dont think he'll do it this Sunday OM. Tipp will have a plan for Henry, but i think the cats will get their
scores from other areas.

Tommy's well able to look after himself.

[neither the ROI]

And of course all this trouble & mayhem had nothing to do with housing issues, gerrymandering,voting rights which were
denied time & time again to the Nationalist Community by what we shall laughingly refer to as the Government of Northern Ireland? Keep taking the happy pills Roger

Housing, gerrymandering and voting had nothing to do with HMG sending in the troops or the Eire government outlining plans for invasion.  Neither seemed in any way interested since partition (the Republic routinely and lamely brought up nationalist concerns and UK routinely and lamely nodded and agreed that it would be looked at).  This discussion has been about the security situation that brought about the army being deployed.  You might want to add bits to get your Political point across but whether you like it or not, neither the ROI nor GB really gave a shite about those things until the security / law and order situation became critical.

So it was just a case of things getting a little out of hand overnight then? Nothing to do with the regime of
the previous 40+ years? I dont think i need to add any bits to get any political points across. The inability/unwillingness
of the stormont government to address all the needs & aspirations of all its citizens, especially nationalists, led directly to
the scenarios you have described. Do you honestly believe that this so-called government were even-handed in dealing
with unionists & nationalists alike? Was gerrymandering to everyones advantage? Were homes allocated on an equal
basis? I dont think so.

I am not disagreeing with your last bit but these were not issues that caused invasion plans or the eventual troop deployment.  These are bits that you have added to justify the confrontation with the authorities / security forces in NI.  These are not bits that caused the troop deployment or Lynch's mobilisation of his version of Capt Manwaring and Co. If the ROI was so concerned with the impact of NI government on the minority community over almost 5 decades then why could they not muster enough troops (estimated to be only 500 short of an already paltry requirement) to deal with the situation even after it was escalated and had hit crisis point?

Of course they caused troop deployments etc etc. I have not added anything to justify the confrontations you speak of.
These are the facts. You make it sound like a crowd of Nationalists/Fenians/Taigs or whatever decided one night that
"we've had enough of this shite lads, we'll take no more". It was a build up of the frustration of being treated as second
class citizens over a number of years that eventually led to the British Government sending in the troops. One thing i do agree with you is that the reason the  ROI govt stood by for almost 5 decades is basically, they got what they wanted and couldnt give a fiddlers f**k about its citizens in the 6 counties, that is until Lynchs "involvement" or lack of.
