They express their support elsewhere - and it's almost universal.
A delusional Freudian slip maybe?
How about, widespread support within the nest of EL supporters.

Quote from: ziggysego on May 04, 2007, 05:39:26 PMOkay, ill and informed.
SammyG states his points..... a LOT. I certainly don't agree with most of them, but I like to think that I can at least try to see his point of view. Never once did I think it was bigoted...... just ill-informed

hh - id agree that the ideals of the uvf may be very different from what they claim - they are simply drug dealing gangsters in my mind - but the problem is they claim to have an ideal, defending their communities against their enemies.
Obviously if this was their only concern they wouldnt be peddling drugs and extorting their own communities.
Quote from: Evil Genius on May 03, 2007, 01:26:15 PMThe scratching isn't exactly taxing the limits of rational thought to come with an alternative to that stereotypical emission. 'Mitigated or absolved' are words from your dictionary.
Well, I'm scratching my head right now to come up with any interpretation other than that Ulaidh considers that the Provos were in some way mitigated or absolved in their actions since they were acting for a cause.
QuoteGandhi was opposed to Imperialism and was successful in defeating it, despite* his eschewing the use of violence. I admire Gandhi.Ah yes the movie, don't confuse Gandhi's ideas with the ending of the Raj. At the time, Atlee acknowledged that the main reason for the fall of the Raj were the ideals of the militant Subhash Chandra Bose and the very violent Indian National Army.
Quote from: Evil Genius on May 03, 2007, 12:34:00 PMYou must have stretched every one of your brain cells to make that inference from Ulaidh's post.Quote from: Uladh on May 03, 2007, 11:06:19 AMSo the ends justify the means, then, eh,
Whatever about the rights and wrongs of the IRA's campaign, they were struggling for an ideal.
Quote from: hoop on May 03, 2007, 12:03:37 PMThey need the GAA more than the GAA need them
What about the TDs and councillors all over the country who are members of GAA clubs? Should they all resign membership just in case a "conflict of interest" arises regarding funding or planning???
No - didn't think so. You need them, don't you?

Good to see that they banned the gouger involved in abusing Webb, wonder is that enough for some of the high horses on here.

Yep because a newspaper reported what Charlton said, that automatically makes it true. The team bus had a police escort (as did the NI team bus and as would happen in any town, even Dublin) to get it through the traffic. Charlton made claims about having to have armed guards 'on the bus' and various other nonsense, all of which was made up by him (or more likely his ghost writer).

Disingenuous, Main Street.
Quote from: SammyG on April 26, 2007, 05:08:46 PMWas he talking shite Sammy?
Charlton is also on record talking about armed guards on the bus and going being terrified driving through the 'mountains' to get to the match. Inspite of the fact that the bus had no guards (armed or otherwise) and the bus didn't go near any mountains (or even small hills) on the way to WP. I suppose if you talk enough shite some of it sticks. Charlton was pissed off because we didn't just roll-over and allow the RoI to qualify, as he expected us to.
QuotePerhaps, but GSpain who was there with the travelling support has stated on this very website that he had experienced worse at other matches and that in his opinion, the abuse at Windsor was hugely exagerated.I dont know how it was reported.
