Won't be watching the video, but always find it worrying that when coming across an incident like this someone's first reaction is to film it

Completely agree.

It's the way of the world now sadly. Can obviously be a good thing as we'd know nothing about that incident beyond there was a stabbing. My

Was a horrific incident in Newry last year of a poor fella killed by a lorry and the very graphic images were being shared on whatsapp, I actually think someone was charged for taking the photos!

I believe the video was taken by a student nurse on her way home from work, so I can't say I blame her for not intervening.

No, but we absolutely should blame her if she took a video and circulated it. There was a tragedy, but there was no need for people to watch a video about it

Probably no harm in actually videoing it as it's obviously evidence against the f**ker that did it, but obviously without the video going around there'd be less of a reaction like what we're seeing. Or would there, maybe the headline Sudanese man attacks another man with knife would have gotten a big reaction as well.

People are rightly angry but the ones burning cars and houses are nothing but pondlife scum who are using this to act on their racism and good old loyalist supremacy complex of attacking anyone different (only if they're vulnerable/weaker than you of course)

If your outrage and anger is determined by the skin colour of the attacker then you don't care about victims

Some of the red tops have named the victim

Ogilvie was said to have made full admissions during interviews. District Judge Fiona Bagnall noted that he has 161 previous convictions. "You weigh this record, you don't read it," she remarked.

BBC spelling his name differently than those papers

Some tortured logic going on. The video and method employed is a major reason it causes outrage.

The visceral nature of it is terrifying. You have to read about the other incident and use your imagination.

Most would happily "necklace" the Lisburn toerag

Yet nobody was out burning cars or buses were they?

Right wing logic:

A foreigner tries to kill a local - all foreigners are bad

A Lisburn man murders his ex girlfriend - emmm errr right

There was a lot of outrage over the murder of Natalie McNally, anyone trying to use her murder to score points is disgusting and no better than the far right.

You should maybe read her brothers post

There will always be more crime when there is a spike in immigration, especially from places that have different traditions to the county that they will reside in. It doesn't make it ok or fine though..

Will there?

Again, you can back that up with statistics...?

2Groups facing severe institutional barriers—such as asylum seekers who are barred from working while awaiting claims—have occasionally been linked in localized studies to minor upticks in property crime2.. AI I know, but I'm sure they have pulled it from some study.

People coming to work will not be committing crimes tbf, its illegals that can't work but need them money

Not all asylum seekers are barred from working

Where else were u going to play?

Cross, Clann Na Gael.

davitt park far from fit for a county ground

Wash your mouth out with a bar of soap...

No, you're correct. Only for a certain DUP minister about 6-7 years ago we would have, stopped the grant at the final hurdle (the signing cheque stage)

LOL. Was actually there on Thursday for CnaG awards night. Some amount of work been done for the facilities. Kept my wallet in my pocket tho..........

Apparently sprayed slurry on the tow path beforehand as well, just what the canal needs! About 4 brain cells between the lot of the inbred c***ts.

No apparently about it

ONeill by the looks of it

Didn't read the article but a friend of mine his daughter wanted to go to Trinity or UCD not sure which one, but he said that she could only get in if there was any spaces available after the locals took theirs..

Purely anecdotal, just in case   

Not true
Son went to trinity so can speak from experience
Daughter applied for ucd  and was also accepted but ended up at queens as mates didn't go to Dublin
Reality for the good degrees  in ucd/ trinity you need 4  a levels but tbf you need a serious high number of points in the south also .

Should nationalist politicians be looking at stuff like that and making it more accessible to students from the six counties to study at southern universities?  That's a simple, practical step they could try to do.


And on that, I know a lad who's son was trying to get registered as a teacher in the south. He wanted to live in Dublin.  Qualified in St. Mary's, Belfast but the hassle and grief he was put through to get registered with the Teaching Council was unreal. He said it'd be easier to get registered if you were from Australia.


He said the grilling and paperwork he had to put in was crazy. Ironic thing is, he said, is that there's a severe shortage of teachers in the south, especially in Dublin and commuter belt areas on the eastern seaboard.

Again, this is an area tht nationalist politicans should be working on - making it more accessible to northerners.

One of my kids wants to go into teaching but has no idea how/where to apply in the south. There are a very small number of teaching places here each year so it would make sense to apply elsewhere to be in with a chance, most seem to go to England - which she doesn't want to do.
Can anyone point me in the direction of where to look for courses in ROI uni? Or do you have to go to each Uni site and search all of them individually?
The school doesn't seem to know!

will they need some level of Irish for that?

If as Burns claims the reason no further action was because the referee dealt with it on the day, surely then Hurson should be stood down for future games as not seeing/taking proper action against both Clifford/McGuinness or any action against players contributing to a melee is as negligent as Conor Lane was in the league final. And has Lane not be unofficially disappeared by the CCCC.

how often has action been taken when something has been in the report? D Connolly and the linesman for one? Thats wasnt dealt with on the day if memory serves me right

Rules have changed since then on what the CCCC can and can't do. Had that incident occurred today in the same way the CCCC would be powerless.

Fair enough

McKenna apparently got £10m for getting Ipswich back to PL, no chance he'll be coming to Celtic. Our only opportunity was him failing to get Ipswich promoted, the other names on list are not very inspiring tbh.
Give me your honest opinion on Keane and his time in Isreal...Before you all blast me i'm 100% behind the Palestine and what Isreal are doing is beyound belief but is the abuse RK getting for working there for 6 months warranted?. Genuine question...Don't quote me on this but I'm led to believe he started there before this whole kicked off and obvioulsy didn't hang around too long afterwards and I doubt very much he was singing or dancing around in support of Israel (if there is evidence of this I'd certainly change my tune) but where do we draw the line regarding abusing anyone that has some sort of affiliation with Israel. If Ireland play them in the fixture coming up in qualifers and fly their flag and play their national anthem in Aviva stadium will the Country go into meltdown?. Like are we still buying foods or anything connected with them feckers from Supermarkets etc, I just think we're selecting certain things to suit us...should be all in or nothing.

Think we should all be doing what we can. They've been committing war crimes against Palestinians long before they opened the gates for Hamas in 2023.

Some of the players would have done service in Gaza and been party to war crimes. He was stupid to have gone to Israel in the first place.

Was Biton ever in the IDF

Bitton and Eyal Berkovic both did National Service in the IDF, not everyone does army stuff tho, no idea if they were active soldiers, likely were.

The fans got over that so will get over it if Keane is appointed

i was forwarded a reddit (i know) post yesterday where his players were watching live streams of the israelis bombing Palestine and getting messages of encouragement from the IDF. I am not sure how true it all is but is not beyond the realms of possibility I suppose.
