Would you stand up to the Orange Order

[Nally Stand]

Doubt very much if paisley was there. I'd say he wouldn't have had the balls and probably wouldn't have got out alive! Is that the same song as was in an old edition of An Tearman? I'll have a hoke for it in a few weeks wen I'm about home. I remember a few lines about Jack Kettle etc up in court over it. A fine piece of work!

That story about the OO trying to March under the cover of night in Carmen is true. There is actually a song written about it called "The boul Sam Colhoun". The question has to be asked is where an under god were they going with 100 men into one of the most Republican area in Tyrone. It just goes to should that they think it is their right and not a privilege and things haven't changed in the 60 or so years since.

Surely thats out of character for nationalists/republicans to write a song about a time they actually won a fight, much better to stick to the usual and write laments about the time they got the shite kicked out of them

I think your right about it being in An Tearman.  Few lads around here would enjoy it!

You even cross the road between the lodges and bands and they will rip you a new one!

Rubbish, lots of people scoot back and forth in between bands/lodges, however they don't take kindly to you actually walking through the ranks, that might get you a tap with a blackthorn.

which is assault by the way !!

but maybe unintentionally you portray this act as a 'jolly jape' !

Indeed it would but then what sort of ignoramus would walk through the ranks anyway, i certainly wouldn't look at a hiberan parade and think it would be fine to march across the road through the ranks.

well walking through the ranks of a parade is plain stupid

however imo ALL parades should be banned - including st Patricks day ones etc - as it is obvious that the current mindsets in the north of Ireland cannot rise above childish tit for tat one upmanship.
that would stop all talk about things being 'contentious' !

I'll be honest and say i think there is far to many of them, and i don't think any town be it unionist or nationalist should be subjected to any more than one parade a year, they are an expression of culture but they are also a major ballache for the average person.

Oh and im a firm beliver that if you aren't wanted in an area then you shouldn't be there.

Wolf Tones music at Orange march sees driver fined

Playing Irish rebel music as he passed an Orange parade has landed a Londonderry motorist a suspended three-month prison sentence and a £250 fine.

Sean Johnston, 27, of Holymount Park, admitted behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace and disorderly behaviour on 13 July last year.

He was arrested after driving past parade supporters on Spencer Road, while loudly playing Wolfe Tones music.

District Judge Barney McElholm said it was a "seriously stupid action".

He said that if there was such a thing as "a good time and good place" to play music by the Wolfe Tones, it was not during Orange Order parades.

Formed in 1963 the Dublin band are named in honour of Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the 1798 United Irishmen rebellion.

In 2002 their recording of A Nation Once Again, written in the 1840s in support of the fight to end British rule in Ireland, topped a BBC World Service poll as the world's favourite.

Other releases by the group include Rifles of the IRA and Up the Rebels.

What an utter moron

What, I sit in the car every day and have to endure that awful gangsta rap shit, I don't like it, but does that mean that the pasty white spide driving the car deserves a suspended three-month prison sentence and a £250 fine?

Behave, what he did may have been unwise, but FFS to be done for it!

What about the case of the woman (nearly sure she was pregnant as well) getting attacked while crossing the road in front of City Hall?

Well Delboy?

Stood myself with 2 other guys outside Celtic Club in Lurgan. The day after the 2 children were burnt in beds. Stood with about 10 peelers around me and my uncle and mate but managed to hold a 15ft pole with a black flag hanging over them as they marched down towards the train...Scum!  The OO are responsible for some deaths in this country....

He deserved the fine but the suspended jail sentence was a bit OTT. If a loyalist did the same with his songs near a nationalist paarde would be the same... he must be a gobshite.
