They're only back a couple of days and it's all kicked off again! God help the poor families living in the area.

[Armagh4SamAgain]

I lived in the Holy lands for nearly a year so i did, it was clean mad  but we didnt burn cars

[el_cuervo_fc]

I lived there for 3 or 4 years myself.  Those were the good oul days, always a party to be found somewhere

I would doubt if the students are responsible for this.

Quite sure, Wellesly avenue and Camden street also got a touch.  From what i recall you were like the littlest hobo for a while, no fixed abode.

[whiskeysteve]

[Candyman]

Report mentions they broke windows then returned later to burn the cars.... ormeau rd dirt me thinks!!! Any student worth his salt would be at a party gettin tanked.....   

[nifan]

the holylands is a shit hole and plenty of the students there need to grow up,  but the students are usually involved in petty vadalism/fighting/pissing on everything.
The spides of the ormeau are usually responsible for this sort of shite.

It seems its back to the good old days for the students - 10pints in renshaws and then mayhem in the Holylands

character building stuff !!

[Candyman]

El cuervo was it your house in camden street that had no lock on the door?? if i remember rightly it was "trashed" one nite.... 

[umgolaarmagh]

if i remember correctly there wasnt a lock on the front door on any of the houses

that were lived in during belfast

[stiffler]

The front door of one of my houses was kicked through one night while we were all drinking our carryout before heading to Kellys on a Wednesday night. Everyone was well on by the stage we realised that the door wouldnt close and no one wanted to stay in the house all night, so we all went to Kellys and left the front door wide open from about 7 to half 3 in the morning.

Only in the holy holylands!
