If/when there is a UI. I'd like to think the OO no matter what we think of them would be accommodated to continue their culture. The band scene is a big part of PUL culture and isn't going away. There is a dodgy element at them parades. Growing up in a majority loyalist area I've witnessed it first hand. Things have changed though. My kids can walk around in gaa tops etc.  The Wolfe Tones craic is a fugazi. No one really cares really. A load of kids shouting up the raa. They aren't running off to join the alphabet raa the next day. It's a reality of this place. I get the whole moral high ground thing but as someone else said it will be forgotten about in a few days when the next moral outrage comes along. Maybe we just accept these things will linger for a while yet. The broad black brimmer and the sash have certainly stuck around.

Not bad at all (considering what was going on 35+ years ago in West Belfast and surrounding area) I think.

Unfortunately, Screen Exile and the likes will focus on one thing in particular, out of the thousands of things that was on this past week or so.

Wolfe Tones are definately not my thing but the demand is there obviously. Sold out in record time.

Next thing is some of you'll want Grace and Come Out You Black and Tans banned. 

This proves my point. Lots of positives but overshadowed by stupidity. Glorification of terrorism isn't ok. We wouldn't accept it if it was any other terrorist organisation they were singing about.

Define terrorist.

A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Ah. Every government ever .

Can anyone tell me is next season or the following season that the big teams are allowed to enter reserve teams into the all-county leagues??

Je-us,you ask some stupid questions.

Its a common enough practice in other counties.

There are names of mount Vernon uvf members being circulated on tiktok. Is mount Vernon near there? Terribly sad for his mum. It would be nigh on impossible to get over the death of a child but this is beyond.

There would have been no protest in Banbridge ffs. The fall out would not be worth it. There are very good cross community relations in the town but wouldn't take much for hot heads to graffiti or arson. Its an absolute non story. The psni team pulled out. Nothing more to it.

Cost of living is a cross community issue in the Occupied Territories. Inflation does not benefit anyone.
Loyalists are ultra vulnerable. They always get the thin end of the wedge.

I like you sea but you talk some shite.

Did he say anything that wasn't correct ? It's about time people do start speaking up. The county is a shambles.

Half time Kerry 0-7 Galway 0-8. Good competitive half of football. Kerry wasteful with 7 wides just the one wide for Galway.

Nor your man with the pony tail. Gave away 2 silly frees.

Ach we were well beat and the scoreline flattered us, but good progress made

Derry don't often win the Ulster title and it's  a good foundation to build on

They will implode. It's Derry. They always implode.
One swallow does not a summer make.

What changed in Tyrone to ensure consistency. Obviously knocking on the door for a long long time but 4 all Ireland this century. What changed there?

A bit embarrassing for Derry in the end. No plan B, no initiative when behind. Just the same turgid stuff on repeat til the end.

Took 20 mins to settle, but from that point Galway were very controlled. That's two good results in their last two games against two very different opponents. They'll be a handful in the final.

Hope Galway can go on and win it. You would fear though if it takes them 20 mins to settle against kerry or the dubs it will be over.

Good luck to Derry today.

Belfast a small place. The distribution of heroin could be easily snuffed out with the right will. Protocol and language more important though.

Get your ass up the mournes. You could do a different day trip every day for a year and not see it all. Best views ever all year round.

You would hope seeing the likes of Tyrone derry armagh etc doing well. Packed out venues. The buzz around them counties would spur players on to want a taste of it.
