Boxing is no more dangerous than motorcycling and skiing.

Fabulous sport imo.

I've heard of countless incidents with these bouncers at that hotel and i can only wonder why any of the locals bother with the place. Hotel would soon get the message if nobody went.

Yes, I agree. Some of the nice folk from the far end of Barrack Street congregate for a few pints the odd time and then hang around outside for a bit and dish out slaps to any fenian coming out with a few beers on them.  I wonder why the bouncers don't do anything about them

Oh and I have seen that happening with my own eyes, with PSNI sitting in the car park opposite (Dobbin Street) - strange how they didn't call in riot squads then or use teargas ::)

The psni in Armagh are a joke, not a set of balls between the lot of them, all they are good for is avioding the selling of drugs at the bus station on Railway street, then again they get all their reliable information from these knackers!!!!!  ::)

Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Funny, there is no peeler intervention at Gala Dinners, Auctions and the like.

Boxing is for macho scumbags and will largely attract similar types, and is a recipe for trouble I hope this stupid event is never repeated.

Funny for all the fights I've ever been to I can't remember any crowd trouble unlike that soccer game you run about after and the fecking inbreeds that associate themselves with it.
Quite right..Fearon take your face for a shite

You've seen all this from Americay? The locals can't be too annoyed about it or they'd do something about it.

Lets call this for what it is lads.  A certain butcher's son with known loyalist connections has been involved in the Hotel's security/bouncer team for 5 years now.  I haven't been there in 3 years since I left but he was trouble then and I am sure (if he is still about) that he is trouble now.  A predominantly protestant team of men supposedly bouncing in a hotel full of predominantly Catholic punters is never going to work.
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Why would a GAA club hold a function in a hotel whose security has loyalist connections ?

A member of the door staff is a loyalist. Hardly means the hotel is a loyalist shebeen. Despite protestations from Iceman there are plenty of catholic staff in the hotel although he is correct that a well known local loyalist works the door. The hotel has made a fortune out of the gaa over the years at club, county and provincial level so I'd say it does a good deal to keep them coming back.

Reminds me of St Patrick's Day in the Holylands, bit of a crowd bein knobs on Carmel Street which culminated all in all in a beer box being set on fire in the middle of the road, then the riot police turn up at each end of the street, not letting anyone out and creating a hostile atmosphere, then proceeding to march down, batoning anyone who gets in the way. Gets a completely different portrayal on  the news obviously. All that was needed was a few uniformed officers in to disperse a crowd but instead they turn it into a riot. There seems to be a hidden agenda with the PSNI when it comes to events consisting of a large number of catholics/nationalists. Go in to the place, turn it into a full scale riot and use the media to turn it on the crowd.

They couldn't really have stayed away with what was going on, but it was blown completely out of proportion and all that was needed was uniformed officers to disperse a few crowds of rowdy students.
