Statements like that are eroding the cultural identity of the working class pradisent. Pass the grant form Billy.

I swear I heard short sharp bangs fifteen mins ago, promptly followed by a hovering helicopter that is treading water over North Belfast.  I'm tempted to go and have a nosey to see what the craic is.

Overthebar!

Idiots can't even spell Neil Lennon...

I read on Slugger that Polish flags were being burnt too. The PSNI were obliged to investigate it as it was deemed racist.

It must be a tough job trying to tell the racist bits apart from the "cultural" bits.

Polish flag = racist
Irish flag = culture ????


they seem to have all angles covered there.. a few tinnies and it will make for a great celebration of orange culture ::)

pardon my ignorance but what's the S.S.H ?

Why on earth is there a brazil top there? Is it in case people get confused and they want to ensure that everyone knows they're not Brazil, they're Norn Iron?

I think that's the Celtic away top. I always find this very sad. What percentage of the Unionist community are involved in this would you say? 5%? Less? More :(?

this and marching is the sum total of Orange culture, but it is definitely not sectarian, even though they are also burning Papal Flags as seen on BBC Newsline last evening. the silence from the pro union posters on this issue speaks for its self.

i know a lad who owns a joinery business and this time every year he piles up all the unwanted wood in a field at the side of the house as he always get away with lighting it on the 11th night. He aint a unionist or an orangeman just a business man getting rid of a bit of rubbish.
We get a good laugh out of it every year.
Last year i told him to stock pile it for September and he could light it on the 3rd Sunday, he laughed and said down had no chance.
A wise man. ;) ;) ;)

Nope, when you zoom in you can tell it's a Brazil top as the crest is a shield rather than a circle like the Celtic top.

Looks like this jersey to me. Lovely wee messages scrawled on it too.
