Replying To Seanfan:  "Quite a lot of people in the "South" will be happy ye lost.
Especially the families of Séamus Quaid, Gerry McCabe, Patrick Kelly, Gary Sheehan, Frank Hand, Michael Clerkin, Tom Oliver, Eamon Ryan.... ...."
It was sad what those families had to go through. The same pain that 3000 odd families in the North had to go through.
But are you suggesting that "the Troubles" were started by the Republican movement?
Or suggesting that the Nationalist population in the North shouldve just put up and shut up in the 1960s?
Or both?
Or maybe that 26 county lives and families matter more than 6 county ones?

Replying To galwayford:  "Easy for you to say that from your safe haven in South? Dublin. If you lived on the Falls road, and were threatened by the UDA or burnt out by the RUC you might have another view. The Unionists were not going to share power on the basis of a strongly worded demand from John Hume or Garret FitzGerald. All that said, the loss of life is regretted."
I think it's perfectly understandable how and why violence ignited into a war when civil rights of Catholics and nationalists were being trampled on. People being burnt out of their homes, denied jobs and even murder. The same would have happened in the south.

However somewhere along the line it turned into some warped cause by some of those involved. Some of the atrocities committed were unbelievable and unjustified.
People experienced both sides of it, we had a hunger striker from this parish in south Mayo tragically die on hunger strike. We also had a Mayo footballer brutally murdered while on duty in Co.Roscommon.

Think your own needle is out of the groove.

Replying To foreveryoung:  "I probably know a lot more about it than yourself. And I'm not even from the county, whereas you do seem to be. So, please put a lid on that pot!"
Then you should of known that mohill have been in 8 of the last 11 finals. Winning 5 of them and were going for 3 in a row this year. So put a lid on yourself

Replying To yew_tree:  "Not much soccer talk here but do people think Slot can turn it around? It's a dramatic fall from Liverpool who are on their worst run of form in over 70 years. I hope he can turn it around but another loss this weekend away to West Ham could be fatal."
Hard to know if he will. But one thing is clear, Van Dijk couldn't be further from the 'best ever PL defender' as he was being lauded from the red men not so long ago.
