Medro Pendes. Your problem with the young "prod" being called a black b........ on the Gaelic Pitch was very moving and as I at one time lived in the area I did a little private research. The player in question belonged to what is referred to in the 6 counties a mixed relationship. His father a protestant mother a catholic. He became fatherless at a very young age, He attended Catholic schools but only people very close to him would know whether he was a Catholic or Protestant. Players on rival team would not know. He left the country before the Gaa had completed their enquires.
Rory McIlroy played Gaelic and despite having a protestant father was not subject to any abuse as far as I know
He also claimed the release of a sex tape he was in had a sectarian motive.....but I was holding on to that little **** nugget for a later time. And that the alleged insult was 'black bastard', a reference to the orange order, the pseudo political and overtly sectarian organisation.
You don't see the hypocrisy in having a go at someone for name calling after doing it yourself about half a dozen times?
Name calling again? 1 non roman catholic playing GAA in Fermanagh and he was driven out of the sport because of the sectarian abuse he got. So if it was sectarian why was the guy found guilty of religiously aggravated breach of the peace and not breach of the peace? And what about this statement, I guess, you'll choose to ignore it, yet again. Offensive sectarian language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as âHunâ and âOrange bastardâ being used negatively against Protestants
Where did you hear this tale? I've heard both his parents are catholic but I can't imagine him playing Gaelic as his school was mainly focused on rugby and I've never seen anywhere that says he played GAA.
yes one unproven allegation against; Stadiums named after non Catholics Patron of the association being a non Catholic President of the association being a non Catholic The premier trophy of the association being a non Catholics playing the games across the country Thousands of non Catholics as members of the association across the country. for the first 24 years of your sorry life you didn't have this bullshit excuse. For the final time; Because he pleaded guilty. Had he pleaded not guilty, this probably wouldn't have made it to court. This is not a precedent, this is not a court defining anything. do you understand? I Never ignored it, I qualified it with a further quote from the same organisation that is absolutely unequivocal that the term is not sectarian. not like a hun to place so much stock in nbm anyway. I certainly don't.
one unproven allegation against; You any evidence to discredit this "allegation" Had he pleaded not guilty, this probably wouldn't have made it to court. Yeah that sounds right. The police dropping a case because someone pleaded not guilty. Yeah you hear that happening all the time. for the first 24 years of your sorry life you didn't have this bullshit excuse. Remember, for most of my life it was still forbidden for British security forces to have any involvement with GAA. I Never ignored it, I qualified No you disregarded it for a statement that could be twisted to say it's not a sectarian term. I was in Ballycastle last week, on the wall it said **** off Huns! Who was that in reference too? In parts of Northern Ireland Kill All Huns can be seen in catholic areas. Again who is this referring to?
I don’t have to as I am not the one making the allegation. He Is. It is unproven. Had the courts deemed it not to be in the public interest to proceed, then the charges would have been dropped, or certainly the religious aggravation aspect of the charge would have been dropped to secure a conviction because as you well know, the term has never, ever been shown to be sectarian in any court. So why didn’t you just say that you disagreed with the nationalistic aspect of the association, instead of throwing out a bullshit assertion about sectarianism that is demonstrably untrue? Un-****ing-equivocally not a sectarian term according to the people YOU quote. I don’t need to twist anything. You presumably (One too many o's there medro) The use of the term is in reference to a bloodthirsty marauding tribe. Our visitors from Britain behaved in such a manner. It is in reference to them. I see you use the term “catholic areas” as opposed to nationalist areas. This clearly demonstrates that you are the one who is distinguishing along sectarian lines. The GAA does not welcome people who distinguish along sectarian lines, so perhaps it is for the best that bigots like you don’t watch
"I don’t have to as I am not the one making the allegation. He Is." Actually it's the Times Online journalist, not the fella in question. But like I said, if you are trying to say he is wrong then prove it. "Had the courts deemed it not to be in the public interest to proceed, then the charges would have been dropped" Yet you said "Had he pleaded not guilty, this probably wouldn't have made it to court" So make up your mind, would it have made, it to court, would it not? You are a bundle of contradictions. "So why didn’t you just say that you disagreed with the nationalistic aspect of the association, instead of throwing out a bullshit assertion about sectarianism that is demonstrably untrue?" Because as my article pointed out, there is discrimination within the sport. You may list all the prods that have beena associated with it, but you can't surely neglect the fact that this fella was forced from the game because of the abuse he got from players and supporters. "Not a sectarian term according to the people YOU quote" But the same people also say that it is sectarian. "You presumably" And when you say me, what do you mean? Me personally? Protestants? Unionists? Who exactly? "The use of the term is in reference to a bloodthirsty marauding tribe. Our visitors from Britain behaved in such a manner. It is in reference to them." Visitors from Britain? You mean the people that migrated here years ago? I'm sure they are long dead. Or the modern day unionist community? "I see you use the term “catholic areas” as opposed to nationalist areas." You can be pedantic about it all you want. But yes areas that have a mainly catholic demographic or nationalist, whatever way you want to put it. "so perhaps it is for the best that bigots like you don’t watch" What have I said that is bigoted?
The word Hun has sectarian meanings. Rebelbhoy "HATES" Rangers, Rangers fans, Huns, Loyalism and Loyalists. But he's not a bigot...... Work it out.
You don’t get it do you? I do not have to prove anything I am not the one making these assertions. They are unproven. I do not understand why you are having such difficulties with such a simple concept. There are, as evidenced, other factors at play here such as his family connections to a disgraced regiment of a foreign army but you are happy to overlook this to fit your sectarian agenda. It is quite clear what I wrote. It would either be dropped or the religious aggravation aspect of the charge would have been dropped to secure a conviction. If you wish to contend this, do so. If you don’t…..don’t you bundle of dumb. So I can prove….beyond a shadow of doubt that the GAA is absolutely and certainly not sectarian and you can close your mind off to an entire sport because one guy, one place in 127 years of the association may or may not have suffered abuse because of his faith? It looks to me that you are desperate to attach negative attributes to the GAA that just aren’t there. Any intelligent person might call into question the credibility of such an organisation, yet you are happy to repeat their slant on things despite its contradictory nature Unionists Yes, I can be pedantic about it. Seeing as I am not the one turning things into a sectarian head count.
"You don’t get it do you? I do not have to prove anything I am not the one making these assertions. They are unproven." The thing is, he is a journalist for the times. You are an angry poster of a football forum. I think most people would take his word over yours. But like I said, you can prove him wrong if you like. Go ahead. "It is quite clear what I wrote." "Had the courts deemed it not to be in the public interest to proceed, then the charges would have been dropped" then "Had he pleaded not guilty, this probably wouldn't have made it to court" Again a contradicting internet user guessing at what would have happened. Like I said how many times do you hear of the police dropping a case after someone pleads not guilty? "one place in 127 years of the association may or may not have suffered abuse because of his faith?" After 104 years of a rule that prohibited members and family members of British security forces of participating. When the rule is thrown out then it is highlighted that the only non-roman catholic playing in Fermanagh has been forced from the game. "Any intelligent person might call into question the credibility of such an organisation" Why because they are fighting to rid the game of sectarianism. What is wrong with that? "Unionists" So you define the word Hun to mean a Unionist?
I doubt you have the mental capacity to realise when it happens. Let me help. It's happening now. On this thread. Now pipe down and back to your mopping.
