Re: Margaret - dead

If ever you're in doubt about the strongest argument in favour of an independent 32 county Ireland, just recite the names: Thatcher, Heath, Maudling, Whitelaw, Boris, Gove, Tebbit, Pym, May, Villiers, Brokenshire... It's an endless list of right-wing Tory gobshites who are unelected by us and over w...

Re: Ulster V Cardiff , Positives versus Negatives

Shambles is right. If that was a team with momentum behind it, I'd hate to see us when we're struggling. We deserved nothing from that game.

Re: Leinster 16/17

Leinster were imperious at times, and throws into perspective how poor UR is in developing its own talent. Conan the creator rather than destroyer. If Heaslip never returned he wouldn't be missed. Pray for 5th. Another trip to Oards without Marcel will be a massacre. Fair play Turnips and Linseed. ...

Can't see it. A couple of years living in southern France will remind him what it's like to wake up to sunshine every morning.

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

Having based their election campaign on the equality agenda and on the basis that there could be no return to the status quo, the Shinners need something to shift on legacy, marriage equality, or the Irish language to show to their supporters. The British don't seem to be moving on legacy and the DU...

Re: What annoys people????

These things, we accept as the price of war. They happen, we all know they happen. Like operations in other countries, the serviceman does what is expected of him, but if he is caught, don't expect to be supported by the command. Some day some of the sihte that has happened here in the last 50 year...

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

Maybe I've lived a very sheltered life her but I was here throughout the troubles and don't recall ever seeing any of Martina's "Tanks" out on the streets or on the Border and that's even with Palace Barracks just a stone's throw away from my house. I suppose our wee Martina in her younge...

Re: Injury Update

Looked like a GAA man to me, but he could have been a wandering itinerant spongeman, hired just for the occasion as other members may have had better things to do arranged before the ridiculous November cancellation. The other possibility was that it really was someone called Dave who had acquired ...

Re: Bad News Day for the DUPers.

Anybody think the time has come to end this consociational nonsense and simply go for a standard government and opposition? We would have to have a coalition and on the current figures, it couldn't be a purely sectarian arrangement (I think). A functioning opposition with the real hope of making it...

Re: Bad News Day for the DUPers.

I see the new Shinners mantra is "Joint First Minister". They're some value.......... It is beyond me why the DUP don't tell Michelle O'Neill to stand down while the RHI inquiry is going on as her department was promoting it and she was involved in meetings about it despite what she is sa...

Re: Bad News Day for the DUPers.

I think it is increasingly wrong to make any assumptions about the outcome of a border poll. Obviously it all depends on what is on offer, but I'm convinced that there are a lot of cultural nationalists who would not want to join a united Ireland. Lumping together the SF and SDLP votes and assuming...

Interesting.... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170305/1221f041f409bb0553918ed07be77075.jpg A lot of damning with faint praise at the minute. It's only the Shinners that are keeping her in a job. The Shinners need her there. They need Arlene like a nice piece of battered cod needs a plateful of ...

The DUP vote is the same as being an Ulster supporter.... we turn up no matter what. Sad to see Nelson McCausland going decent wee man.
