Fair play Stereo, it is a lot of bollicks as usual. Sells papers, people outraged etc. How far could a 10 year old throw anyway?
What's the big problem anyway? Surely a bunch of guys walking down a street is hardly offensive? Oh wait, these offended guys are Irish? Right, I get it now.....
I know plenty about it pal I grew up in Armagh in a much rougher time than now. Those who riot (throughout the history of the troubles) always seem to be based around a council estate? Whys that then?
I don't care where you are from and when you grew up there. What relevence has it got? Housing estates have a high concentration of people, you would hardly riot in the middle of a field yours is the usual country response. 'Oh my god they are neds'. Are you Scottish? You know nothing about what is happening. If you did you would not make the comments you did. Fs you got the cities wrong in your first comment. All you done was knock out a generic response. You probably have it saved on your PC. Enlighten us to what your views are on the ongoing trouble without resorting to near copying out of your tabloid.
Are you grooming me? anport and and mick are seemingly the only intelligent irish posters we have on this forum so he should easily win an argument against you.
Im irish - hence my reference to Armagh pal Im not blaming neds for the irish situation. Im blaming neds for rioting. Normal irish people dont react to a parade by rioting. Yes they may be against it, they might protest - the police might push them to the brink of a reaction - but they dont riot For instance - did you?
Did I riot? No. You didn't mention you are from Armagh because you are Irish, you mentioned to propel yourself and give your reasoning some weight. It done neither. Saying that EVERYONE who was involved in rioting is a Ned is very simplistic do you not think? Would everyone involved in rioting in, say, Greece be a ned in your view? I hazard a guess that you do not think that. You made a comment about something you know nothing about. I made that statement because it is obvious you have no knowledge of it. I will give you one example - Holy Cross. Those marching through Ardoyne are from the area that attacked schoolgirls from Ardoyne. Many who march are to be seen in video footage attacking said schoolgirls. Tell me this, if someone attacked your daughter or little sister would you be quite happy for those involved in attacking her to triumphantly stroll past your area? The long and short of it is that many of these riots have a local context not well known outside that area. If there was trouble in your part of Armagh I would certainly not jump in with sweeping statements to tar all those involved as 'neds' or any other such word. I would try and find out if there was reasoning or other factors at play. For what it's worth I do not agree with the rioting. The march shouldn't take place but it does. I take my paper up to the ****ter for the 10 minutes it takes for it to pass.
We are much loved in the world. Especially in the good ol' US of A. The accent really turns American women on.
