6 counties election

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

McDonnell thanked everyone who voted for him. He did it again on The Politics Show today and he included the SF voters in that. But he was hardly going to be as blatant as SF as the SDLP never supported a pact. He can hardly come along after the election and decide that a pact was a good idea after all.

Did you watch the same show I did!
AlisDAIR did thank all his voters, but he was also an arrogant p***k and he even had the tenacity to call John O'Dowd and SF arrogant!

53 mins in, the mans an obnoxious p***k.

You ask me if I watched the same show yet you don't disagree with what I said. Is this just another excuse for you to use some classy language and be generally abusive?

Unreal was at the North Belfast count and couldn't believe my eyes at one stage to see Alban Maginness sitting beside Dodds laughing and joking just before the result was announced

And you called me sensitive! 
If telling you to suck a sweet and move on was abusive then I apologise.

Unreal indeed. Who do they think they are, the Chuckle Brothers?

I wasn't referring to your comments at me at all - water off a duck's back. I was referring to your "arrogant p***k" comments.

What's the big deal about that? I was in Stormont and see Sinn Féin and DUP politicians talking... yip! and even laughing. So what?....

All this "we don't like each other" bollocks is strictly for the cameras and hardline electorate.

Yep, and as is evident here, some of them swallow it hook, line and sinker.

The big deal was that Dodds had just won the seat and Alban was happy to sit and joke with him when he knew that it was his standing that had helped Dodds win it from Kelly.Yet when we met on the canvas and also at the centre he couldn't even pass the time of day,think it just showed that he was happy enough to see Dodds win the seat.The only good thing is that now we have close to 3 quotas we might take his Assembly seat next time around and wipe the smile from his face.

You didn't say all that in the first post... if Alban wouldn't speak to youse that was bad form and I'm sure the Sinn Féin workers were queuing up to have a cup of tea and chat with him

No don't think we were but to see him so cosy with Dodds in the heat of battle was a bit sickening,sure we all speak to each other at Stormont and elsewere when there is business to be done but to see his interaction with the DUP at the count was unbelievable

In fairness that was about McDonnell and I'm not alone in my opinions of him.

You have a point there alright... they seem to be total anti-Sinn Féin to the extent they would help the DUP into power. Their behaviour in this election has been appalling. As for rival politicians laughing together, I read nothing into that but in this context maybe you are right.
