patrique

you should not be concerned that people can or cannot read

some people need to be told things hundreds of times before the beging to understand

these people haven't been able to take thing on board since the fall of the christian brothers

unfortunately no one has come up with an effective cyber leather or lock pull

If someone burns a gaa top or flag it still falls under the same thing burning a gaa thing , now just like the counciller and his voters complaining bout 2 young girls wearing gaa tops.


At least now you know it was a councillor. However it was the PUP councillor, a disgrace ansd I let his party leader know such. I also let him know.

And I hope in future you can distinquish between political parties.

And finally it was not TWO girls.

Fair enough.


On Bloody Sunday the paratroop regiment at great risk to themselves killed 13 armed terrorists on the streets of Derry.

It was on the news pages, truth is there in black and white.

Might not be 2 girls but thought it was on this article .

CHILDREN were told to change their sports jerseys by a manager at Tesco in Antrim Town during a fund-raising back-pack.
The chair of St Comgall's GAC, Tom Crilly, said the children, all under 12 years of age, had been initially told by Tesco to wear their club kit to take part in a charity bag-pack, just like all other bag-packing teams.
The club shirts are plain green with black sleeves and a small club badge embroidered at one side. But the mere sight of children wearing a GAA top prompted "very vociferous complaints" from customers, Tesco said.
Declan Callan, the father of two nine-year-old twin daughters in the GAA club, told the BBC that when they arrived to join the event they were told they had to go home and change.
"The girls were a bit upset and couldn't understand the whole concept of somebody having an issue with the GAA.
"Nearly every weekend there's a club bag-packing there - Scouts, basketball, football and rugby teams - and they're always in their club regalia."
Tesco say they are looking into how they handled the incident and how they run bag-packing.


Now but you stated in a early post it was one person clearly not by the statements .

Tesco made there statement i believe that statement because there a big business and try and keep everyone in board , the counciler did not deny tesco statement and made it clear that there voters complained to them which i believe because that is what some poeple are like . Ps if someone wants to talk bout bloody sunday that is on the non gaa thread.

The protester was one PUP (Protestant Unionist Party) member. He then involved a few other bigots.

So it was more than 1 person then.

He doesn't have to believe any of the stuff he reads in the papers, both adrian watson and tesco issued statements, these statements were in the tv, radio and print media and you can get them from public records if you want.

Havent been on on here in a while, bloody civil service cutbacks, namely IT Assist!! But i see some things never change

Patrique,

Still trying to promote the Socialist Worker I see, regardless of the rights and wrongs of your clubs dealings with Tesco, the issue most people have with you tendency to manipulate stories to suit your own particular agenda. Lets deal with the facts as apparently some spaniard mentioned before.



'Loyalists caught removing Down flags



That is the title of this thread which is actually libelous.

No-one was "caught" doing anything. Some woman made an unfounded allegation......... '


You made the following contribution earlier, now tell me who the 2 adults were then climbing a ladder, one wearing a Glentoran top under his jacket(pointed out by a work colleague who has one too). Big half page picture in the irish news, hard to miss even with blinkers - these are the facts.

Now I have no problem with your political views, might not like or agree with them but all the same you're entitled to them. I also know the plonker who hails from pomeroy is exactly that and the englishman from mayo who has a poster of Harry Enfield's 'Tory Boy' in his bedroom are not completely detached from reality.

The reality is this happened and happens on a regular basis. By the way the marching season is long finished so tell me why the UVF,YCV,UFF,UDA flags still adorn lamp posts on boucher road, finaghy road, carryduff roundabout etc. Its about marking out territory for those unfamiliar with the annual loyalist ritual.
Patrique knows this, I know this and even the plonker might grasp it, not sure about 'tory boy' though.

Just because McGuinness and Robinson share power does not change the realities on the ground in what are commonly known as interface areas.

Patrique, you have responded to a number of posts by offering opinions. However, the query you have not addressed is strictly factual. In an attempt to discredit the debate on the Carryduff flags, you twice stated that the Irish News carried the headline `Army run over Catholic dog.' This is quite a colourful claim, and the onus is on you to substantiate it. Did you read it yourself or did someone else tell you about it ? Can you give any hint about when it was published - months, years or decades ago ? In short, have you any evidence whatsoever to prove that it actually happened ?

MourneRising (Down) - Posts: 238 - 24/09/2010 11:21:56    782924

Mournerising,

Following on from Patriques distorted view of realities and fact, can he also prove the dog wasnt Catholic??

dhorse like tom1916 stated tesco and the counciller made these statements and they went on the tv and radio and for someone to say the soldiers in bloody sunday made claims well 2 different things , tesco and this counciller had no reason to lie about there actions or statements as they had nothing to hide unlike the soldiers . Bumpernut your fellow county man does not want to hear the truth that is the problem and pp , ogall are only trying to wind posts up on this issue .

Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 24/09/2010 11:33:14    782934

this is going on for a very long time , and for people to dismiss what is happening they are missing the big link in all of this .
burning buses, g.a.a halls attacked , g.a.a members attacked in numbers coming back from games , g.a.a members being shot and harrased because of the simple reason they are bigots out there , and they are not in the miniority i am afraid , when you see a sports minister , and a newly elected member of a unionist party slate the g.a.a laced with sectarianism , then this a bigger problem than what people think it is , but the gaels of ulster already know this , they do not have to be told of the way its members or clubs were in constant threat of loyalists and security force harrasment , this clearly still exists within our society , u know why , because you will have politicians telling the younger members of the local O.O. that the g.a.a is the enemy and it has no place in their plans , because members of these orange order are so entrenched with their codes of history backed up by their henchmen of the u.d.a , they will never except the g.a.a culture our games , and people who come on here and try and defend them are just as bad , because they will never understand what we have had to put up with for years to compete and keep our culture alive in the six counties .

Gaelic Games & politics just don't belong together.

It's a shame when they get intertwined because it always results in blind foolishness such as this
