What goes down in Belfast on 5th of November? In Lewes in West Sussex, they have a wonderful tradition. Parading through the town with burning crosses, usually carrying effigies of the villain of the year, rather than of Guy Fawkes. One year that arch Crusader, Tony Blair featured.

Was that an Old Firm match by the way? There was some thing on the news about Celtic, but football is a bit dull so I don't take much notice. Celtic do have a tradition for waving tricolours around and singing IRA songs, and well, generally trying to provoke ordinary, decent people to violence. So hardly in a position to complain. After all, it is my understanding that the clubs themselves are required to ensure their fans good behaviour these days.

Prison?

By the way, Celtic are in trouble with UEFA for allowing fans to display a large banner portraying a balaclava clad terrorist at an away match in the Republic. If you're going to go waving your Irish nationalist cock around, I suggest you don't decorate it with green and white hoops first!

Good point.

Sky Television News this morning reporting that Celtic are also being investigated over their fans blocking walkways at the same Linfield match. So, just like their "You'll Never Walk Alone" chanting Scouse mates, the Provi Celtic mob aren't beyond putting hundreds of lives at risk by fucking up football grounds. How long before we see another Heysel or Hilsborough, but this time with the green hoops being responsible?

If any one feels strongly that the Good Friday agreement discriminates against former British soldiers, whilst protecting terrorists, there is a demonstration in London on the 9th of September. :)

Never took the oath, had a few dodgy moments in Noraid in the 70'S And 80'S.

I've gone on record here before, I support a general amnesty across the board. Include the IRA, the security forces, and even the loyalist murder gangs. I separate them because the IRA occasionally engaged an opponent who might be able to shoot back. Let it end, amnesty for everyone with a cut off date at the good Friday accords.

More trouble for Celtic. After receiving a paltry £20 000 fine for their fans behaviour at Linfield, they've gone on the rampage in Sunderland before a friendly match. Footage shows them trying to set fire to an off-license in the city. They were later chased off by locals, and a picture on the Sun website shows a Celtic fan, complete with his green and white hooped shirt, lying on the floor, his bleeding head cushioned by a Union Jack flag!

Shows the reality of the situation for these separatist idiots. They need our money to support their lazy arses!

That's possibly a first time someone found a good use for the flag!:skull-tea

funny, there were no Celtic fans allowed at Linfield. So how exactly did they cause any problems? a pub in west Belfast set up a fan zone for them

Yes, my mistake, the match took place in Glasgow. What actually happened at the Linfield leg was that Celtic decided not to take up the ticket allocation. Celtic were investigated after one of their players tied a green and white scarf to the home supporters end goal. A definite act of provocation.

So it's not just the fans, the club can't even control its players!

So, just we are clear, a player tied scarf to a goal, and some people in the stands raised a banner of a man in a beret and sun glasses and we we are equating that with a mob throwing foreign objects and storming the field?

And it goes with out saying that Celtic took both matches.

Or a group of old men in bowler hats and orange sashes going for a stroll on a summers day?

UEFA don't allow political displays during European competition matches. As for the scarf, football grounds traditionally have "ends". These are the stands behind the goals at each end of the pitch allocated to home and away supporters. An away player tieing any thing to the home end goal post would certainly been seen as provocation. Still, complaints of provocation only seem to have legitimacy to you when it is Irish Catholics being provoked!

A former army commander has criticised the "politically correct" military recruitment process that allowed a man who was beaten by a loyalist paramilitary gang as a teenager, and who gave an interview to a republican newspaper, to join the Royal Marines, and subsequently supply munitions and make explosive devices for Continuity IRA. Ciaran Maxwell, a Catholic from Larne, was today sentenced to 18 years for bomb making and other terrorist offences.

Perhaps a better use would have been to hang the scum with it. Footage has emerged of the green and white hooped cunts in Sunderland chanting in celebration of the jihadist murder of Lee Rigby.

It makes one wonder how he slipped through the net?

Politically correct recruitment process, obviously.

Yeah, obviously on the recruitment. But I meant how did he slip through the security net until he was almost ready to blow someone or something up?
