Even Rockstars think Tony's a w**ker

As someone who goes to as many Northern Ireland international football games as possible - home and away - I think that I would qualify as an expert on the name.


Tony Fearon (Write Back, December 15) should know the team is called Northern Ireland.

I believe his letter was sectarian.

I have nothing against Cardinal Brady or should I call him 'Church Worker Brady'?

Henry Cluney, Belfast/USA

WHat was Tony's letter of the 15th?

Please tell me some knob didn't write in because he didn't call the team Northern Ireland?

Is that what was sectarian in it?

Puzzled observer

I cannot understand the rationale behind the recent decision to award a civic reception at Stormont to the North of Ireland soccer squad, yet simultaneously deny Cardinal Sean Brady a similar honour.

After all, unlike the soccer squad, Cardinal Brady was actually successful in Europe recently.

Yes, very sectarian! 

[his holiness nb]

Ironic given all the hullaballoo re personal abuse lately that we have degenerated so far as to include it in the thread titles 

[full back]

How the fcuk is that sectarian?
Wonder why he has stiff little fingers

[T Fearon]

The most shocking aspect of this thread is the description of Henry Cluney as a "Rock Star". FFS Clodagh Rogers and Dana had more hits than Stiff Little Fingers

[nifan]

The letter probably wasnt even impecably handwritten

[T Fearon]

I just hope they print my reply!

On a lighter note, this letter I impeccably hammered out on my keyboard, also appeared in last Friday's Irish News and my mother took a call from the Priest at home to tell her that both he and his Parish Priest (ie boss if you are a prod!) were rolling about the Parochial House laughing at it

[passedit]

On another note, what sort of a w**ker gives his address as Belfast/USA?

yours etc

I knew Cluney's brother a complete tosser

[Rav67]

Was thinking exactly the same re the address thing what a tosser.  Fantastic band though!

He wasn't even a good guitar player, his beer belly protruded over the top of the Gibson. He always looked like the fat kid who was allowed to play along.

At least Jake Burns wore the statelet's shirt on TOTP, so he showed his principles in the 80s when it wasn't cool, not like all these OWC wankers now. Henry didn't even have the balls to do that... fat turd

[Square Ball]

Is that him at the start of this?

sounds horrendous

[red hander]

He's the furthest away. Jake Burns is singing, Al McMordie's on bass and Big Henry's at the extreme end
