GAA team 'target of bomb attack in Antrim' 
 
A pipe bomb has been found at a community centre in Antrim where a GAA team was training, the town's mayor Adrian Watson has said.

A security alert was declared after a suspicious device was found outside the community centre on the Stiles estate.

Players from St Comgall's GAA Club were escorted from the premises by police and the area has been cordoned off.

Mr Watson said it was a "disgusting attack by mindless thugs who had nothing to offer the community".

"These are young men training in a community centre surrounded by hundreds of home," he added.

"They have done nothing wrong, bar be members of a GAA club."

Police have said they are looking for a second device and the area will remain cordoned off until Friday morning when the search will resume in daylight.

Was this just a slip of the tongue or does Mr Watson have a suconscious agenda...

Orangeman means in the eyes of the people behind this, as if you didn't know.

Terrible actions. They really need to get their act together with regards to P&J to nip this thing in the bud. No-one wants to go back to the bad old days.

this bomb threat is a disgusting. hopefully things don't go back to the way they were. I wonder it might knock a bit of sense into the dissidents to cop on.

[gerry]

Thank god no one was hurt sad to see old traits still run deep.

Absolutely disgraceful line from Mr Watson. No slip of the tongue or subconscious agenda. Blatant bigotry, a mindset not that far removed from those who planted the device.

Its hard to read that in the same way as Ziggy is suggesting. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt but it doesn't read that way. Only helps to worsen the situation.

[AZOffaly]

First thing that jumped out at me too before I read all your replies. That's a very weird turn of phrase.

[ziggysego]

I've since learnt from the non gaa side of the board that this was the fella mouthing off to tescos about how he felt about gaa kits in their store. I now admit I was wrong to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Dougal]

i wouldn't give Watson the steam of my p**s,never mind the benefit of the doubt.i'd expect nothing more from this bigot.
