94 pages - some going. i was sick for louth, they were robbed of the leinster championship and there was never going to be any fixing of it. would i have done what sheridan did? absolutely. if i was from louth and i was standing near the ref at the end of it i wouldnt rule out decking him either. it would have been wrong but in the heat of the moment mad things happen that are later regretted.

for the many posters who said it wouldnt happen kerry/dublin etc, heres heartbreak and cheating (doyle was pushed) all in a few minutes on what would have been kerrys only 5 in a row

I think John Mitchel's son or sons fought on the Confederate side. Mitchel himself was a strong advocate of slavery.  A bit of an embarassment that there's so many GAA clubs named after him actually..

never heard anything about that, got any links to that story?

and McGuinness slips further down in my estimation.
In fairness to McGuinness, he just wants what best for his city, and if that means standing celebrating uk city of culture, then he'll do it as long as it benefits the city.

bull sh1t, when it suited him he used violence - how did that help his city? i didnt agree with him then and i dont agree with him now promoting derry as 'uk' city of culture.

I studied in Derry, so I have a soft spot for the place and I reckon this will bring plenty of buzz to the city and a face lift will surely get the heart beat of the city pumping a little bit stronger. This city of culture award has done wonders for Liverpool.

id love to believe that, any examples?

Billy Hutchinson of the PUP has spoken publicly of the likelihood of a backlash from the UVF in the event of a UI being forced upon Loyalists.  From memory he said it would spark war far worse than the troubles ever were.  You can be guaranteed that if said it would happen that it would happen.  To think otherwise is to ignore the reality that Loyalists will never accept it willingly

There was even talk of them starting a war with Britain too and declaring the north and independent country. Even talks of 'liberating' Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan from the south.
Yes zig, I take it you saw the same interview.  I am of the opinion that the likes of Hutchinson are smart people, they want to reach agreement without violence.  They don't want to get shit on though and if Britain was to allow a UI to happen without Loyalist consent there would be a bloodbath, pure and simple.

so its all up to billy then? sure if he changes his mind you'll be grand....

What a reunited Ireland will mean to me (top 10, amongst other things):


  • Giving my brother-in-law a hug and thinking of Wolfe Tone or Henry Joy, and not Michael Mc Gimpsey or (Christ Almighty!) Iris Robinson!
  • Taigs parading on the 'Twelfth'
  • Not giving a shit what the Yo-Yo is trading at against Sterling
  • A celebration of our shared Continental African roots
  • A little bit of 'northern steel and straight talking and dealing' in the (ex-shenanigan and gombeen-men laden) Dáil
  • Twelfth parades in O'Connell Street
  • The demagogues of the Churches being neutered a little more...
  • The 'All-Ireland' becoming just 'The (Irish) Championship'
[/b]
  • A true 'Orangefest'
  • And neither my name nor place of origin being a reason for disparity

fear, the all ireland championship predates partition. just like the all england club in tennis

Christ almighty! Obviously I want us to win Ulster and get into a quarter-final that way, but if we lost and then get to the quarter-final, the sight of being drawn against Kerry yet again would make me cry!

+1

It don't make us Tyrone boys cry.  We'd love to draw Kerry again  :P

try and stick around long enough this time ;D

delboy, the economy in the north would have to completely change in a new ireland situtation as you rightly allude to. it could take up to 20 years for this change to happen without huge upheaval but it could be managed in an orderly way - one way or the other such a large public sector is not sustainable.

any new ireland would have to completely safeguard unionists traditions and britishness. just as irish people in the north can get irish passports british people in the north after this new ireland comes into existence should be able to continue to get british passports forever.

in this new ireland unionists would make up about 20% of the population and could be in power after most elections with that block

i would have no problem with whatever flag/anthem most people would want and it should reflect the population as a whole.

we'd definitely get to a few more world cups.

unionists would be surprised at how open the republic is, a good 25%-30% of the population here have no interest in irish culture of any sort and twice that are glued to the premiership for their sporting fix so unionists would not be homesick in any way ;)

it would lead to a proper frendship between ireland and britian, which should have always existed
