Youths attacked by sectarian mob

The manager of a Catholic football team has spoken out after his teenage players came under attack from a sectarian mob in east Belfast.

The windows of their bus were stoned and they were verablly abused as they tried to leave the football grounds at Victoria Park.
The under-15 football team had been playing a friendly match against another team from Ardoyne on Wednesday night.
The east Belfast pitch was the only venue available, but the Short Strand team felt safe playing there because thay had used it before without incident.

As the match was being played a group of older teenagers began to gather at the sidelines.
When the two teams finished the game and tried to reach their buses, which were parked outside the grounds, the vehicles were attacked.
No one was hurt in the incident, but the bus was badly damaged.

Police have confirmed that they are investigating the incident and they say a sectarian motive is one line of inquiry.
The youth club organisers say it will cost £1000 to fix the damage

There is also a video of the story

Hmmmm ... tell that to Jean McConville's family. Or to the families of the hundreds of other Catholics they murdered and "disappeared". Some defending.

ah yes, the "hundreds"...
...hard to beat a concrete argument/statistic like that.
well done.
The IRA were responsible for the death of more Catholics than the RUC and the British Army combined. Fact. As your man said, some defending.

So Nelson does not know who the current All Ireland champions are but does know exactly which clause of the GAA constitution applies in this case.

A batch of 20p coins accidentally issued with no date on them could be worth £50 each, say coin collectors.

Tens of thousands of the coins have been produced in error by the Royal Mint at Llantrisant, near Cardiff.


Rare mistakes might be worth £50 each. Tens of thousands of mistakes won't be.

The fcukers have me down at 58 on the website. That probably includes waiting for a minute and a half at the start before actually moving.
If you look at the results you will see 2 times.  00:58:44 and 00:56:53. The first is the time from when the gun went, the second is the chip time recorded from when you crossed the start line.

The only way there would have been a second nationalist seat is if SF/SDLP had split the nationalist vote very evenly.
I think the third seat will be unionist but short of a quota (maybe 105,000 - 115,000).

In that case SF/SDLP could have grabbed two seats if they both finished ahead of the second unionist but both short of the quota.

Name the only manager to have won three European Cup/Champions League trophies.

I was looking up some results on the G'iro D'Italia and I saw that an Irish team is coming second in Super Team Classification.

The Irish team is called - L.P.R. Brakes-Farnese Vini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia said it is based in Ireland and has 18 Italian Riders, 1 Slovenian and I from Ukraine.

One of their Riders - Danilo Di Luca, is leading on Overall Classification as well.

Some achievement as the G'iro is recognised as one of the hardest races on the tour

Anyone know anything about this team?

Is it really based in Ireland or is it just registered here for tax dodge purposes.
