Did you ever think that would happen?

Funny that Tom Elliot is mentioned though. It looks to me like Peter is using Tom's current unfortunate circumstances to stick the boot in - by attending the match, he looks like the 'mature' politician, just as Tom's ship is fast approaching the rocks. Call me a cynic, but Robinson's attendance at the match, whilst definitely welcome, may have some ulterior motives.

I am not sure it is welcome when it obviously is for ulterior motives, i mean what enjoyment or interest is Robbo going to have in a Gaa game? His true colours were shown a few weeks ago with the prison service emblems row.

It's welcome in terms of the optics - it's still a senior unionist politician appearing happy to attend a GAA match.
