I'm not sure Tyrone will be much of a challenge.

Quote from: Harold Disgracey on April 24, 2024, 11:02:09 PMYou will have noticed that the LVF were generally unable to carry out any attacks in the Garvaghy Road and Tunnel areas of Portadown. They did once try to shoot up the Tír na nÓg clubhouse one night but apparently the gunman was shaking so much he missed the building. Billy Wright and his cohorts were very much protected and enabled by the RUC, everyone in Portadown was aware of this hence the RUC couldn't guarantee easy access and exit from any of the nationalist areas of town. As an aside Robert Hamill's mother died this week without seeing any justice for her son's murder.
Quote from: Applesisapples on Today at 09:12:54 AMI didn't see the Derry/Donegal match, but I am seriously impressed by any team allegedly out played who's best players were stymied but still managed 17 points. Goals win games but can be prevented. it was 15 scores to 17.
Quote from: Orior on April 24, 2024, 10:35:59 PMCan Cavan beat Monaghan? No, of course not.
Can Donegal beat Derry? No, don't be ridiculous.
Can Down surprise Armagh on Saturday? Hello no. Put your house and future salary on the orangemen.

As I said before, it is hard to see how you can prove something 20 years ago beyond reasonable doubt, I doubt there were witnesses other than his wife.

A completely mad one. Could be staring at a lengthy enough jail term. Who knows what way it will pan out.

They have the medals from the last 2 years in their pockets. Its all about SAM for them now. They get a nice 4 week break to get themselves ready. I would not be writing them off at all.
100% correct.

Just listening to Talkback and Trevor Birney talking about and how attacking someone like Sean Brown was a deliberate ploy as he was decent and could not be associated with any paramilitary organisation. It was purely to put fear and Terror through a whole community by striking at its centre.
We had just won the AI and had beaten Bellaghy in the Ulster final before Christmas 1996. There was a crew of us living in Belfast and we had close relationships on and off the field with a lot of the Bellaghy lads. It struck hard. I remember travelling home at the time and we regularly changed out pick up spots etc. Going to matches in Lurgan and that was always a concern as well. How the f**k was that normal?
Unfortunately we normalised it at the time and adopted
My dad handed me the book The Shankill butchers when it came out
Made me read it before I headed out that weekend, needless to say that put the willies up me for that period of heading out!
Absolutely horrible book. Really tough. I read the book called committee. Really opened my eyes as a teenager growing up.
Only policeman you trust is a dead one.
Quote from: Pub Bore on April 23, 2024, 10:03:52 AMFor all the blather about "Michelle and Emma" and a bright future for NI, it's 2024 and the British are still trying to suppress the truth. 25 people involved in this murder, most of whom were loyalist touts, RUC and UDR members.
Excellent programme that showed the devastation visited on families during the Troubles.
Quote from: Ethan Tremblay on April 22, 2024, 09:33:49 AMAs mentioned already, what a weekend of football that was.
Derry/Donegal was an intense a game as you will see.
Thought the two in the middle for Derry were quiet all day and either of them being subdued can only mean bad things for Derry. A month off to process and learn, so you would think there will be a response to that.
Donegal were brilliant and got everything spot on tactically. A high intense gameplan and Derry had no answers. The only issue is, they only have a week to do their homework on Tyrone and whether they can match that intensity with the quick turnaround remains to be seen.
Full credit to Cavan, a classic case of throwing the shackles off and going at it nearly got them there. Tyrone had enough experience to get them over the line. Again tired bodies will count against them against Donegal. Hard to see them winning giving how both teams played.
Quote from: Rossfan on April 19, 2024, 04:21:25 PMAhh it's just the "Nordies against change" bellyaching again.
The move from 21 aside to 17 aside was the start of the slippery slope I tell ya.
