I don't think it's hyprebole at all. This is horrendous.

I agree. Although I would think (hope) that nothing comes of it and that the next application will be handled properly before being rejected.

I would think that. If that were to happen it would also lead to issues though. It is a can of worms that has now been opened.

I like this series - much better than the last one. Not one to take too seriously really.

There is a very amplified minority among them. If people were that staunch the tuv would be making a massive inroad into the voter base. Though saying that Donaldson, now Shannon and even Wilson and Campbell and all of their antics will surely erode some voter confidence so the dup need a "win".

When the backs are against the wall they resort to the tribal drum which is exactly what this is.

I have to say this has sickened me. Drumcree was a disgusting episode which should have been left in the past. Who is behind this cretin Bryson. He is no asset to society and someone is platforming him for their own good. I still think it's possible not all is were dotted and TS crossed and it will make no difference. I would hope that to be correct. These people should not be allowed to win

Dungiven Magherafelt seemed to be the top two in Derry from what I read.  Dromintee are in an Armagh semi but I think there's some protest has been put into the ulster council by Carrickcruppen which is delaying it.

Odhran Doherty looks like a scoring machine both in the minor and the senior.

Do I recall correctly...about 10 years ago some politicians tried to start talks between the OO and Garvaghy residents.
The OO response was we'll take part  once the 1st item on the agenda is holding the 1998 parade.

They are talking about a resolution. The only resolution they see i them marching down the road.

I am sure I am not alone in saying this Drumcree stuff evokes a lot of memories and not good ones. It made the place very tense to live in and just reminds you of those poor wee Quinn children. Sickens me the whole thing but when you have Bryson, Lockhart and Allister then you have significant bigotry floating round and this is the kind of thing that con happen.

I don't think reasonable unionists see the gaa as the ra though. It is more the extreme ones and the drum beaters.

Sf will always be viewed like that.

This latest stunt on drumcree is why the view of the oo will not change. This is a shocker with what looks like an attempt to drag us into the past.

I can't remember if Dromintee won it or not last year but I would expect them to be fairly handy too. Hard tournament to do well in.

Humour me as I play devils advocate, are WE inclusive?

I get the triumphalism, I get the Orange order as a bigoted organisation, I know the knuckledraggers just want the hate to continue for their votes, but it will continue and fester providing there is constant division.. so what are the answers?

BTW I don't want them marching anywhere in the North     

The reality is you are bang on there are "we" are not inclusive enough. There are orange marches which should be tolerated and this should not be one of them. I lived through this the first time and what it brought out in people was not good.

I still can't understand why glasner joined them. That bonkers owner could fire at any point.

Jesus. A decent human being who uses her profile for good. Rip.

There are conspiracy theories that they are in the process of discrediting elections with a view to cancelling them... I suspect like the story Trump will resign and Vance will pardon him it is probably bollocks.

They should get wiped out but who knows. Some of the canada stuff you start to see is ludicrous. You're not dealing with adult human beings here. People vote for this. The mind boggles.

i think even the people in stormont have now copped on that stormont doesn't work.

You would hope so but I imagine they'll be complaining that it's all evidence of how the PC isn't fit for purpose/is biased against their culture and they'll campaign against it, call for it to be disbanded etc.

they would need to watch though. It's a small enough percentage of their parades get blocked - they could get a more militant version who let less through.

They should be let nowhere near the place. Like a bunch of toddlers never letting up too.
