    Not to be pedantic, but isn't the Belfast bombing usually referred to as Bloody Friday? I've never heard of it as Black Friday(apart from a couple of times in this thread). Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the USA.
    Thanks for pointing that out, got mixed up, haha

    Cant be bothered to read the whole thread - how long would the Gardai take to find an Irish bomber?
    A huge difference between Irish bombers - IRA etc - and these boys and many Islamist terrorists is that THEY DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT

    Any idiot can make a pipe bomb and plant it - its doing it without leaving fingerprints or any identifying bombmaking styles etc etc that takes skill. Leaving the bomb in broad daylight without a disguise, being caught on CCTV and not bothering to get as far as possible from the scene of the crime makes it simple for the police. FFS.

    Not wishing to make light of such a serious story - but if an expert had planted these bombs they would have have been hopping a plane with a false ID before the FBI started looking at the CCTV not in the middle of Boston

    Tommy Tiernan back when he was good said it best..........

    "You could be in a pub in Dublin Galway...a pub made of christmas trees and petrol...wedged in between a fireworks factory and a juvenile delinquents home...on halloween...and if the fire alarm went off, sure, you'd look for the fire. If you didn't see it, it didn't exist! If it kept going, you'd start to make jokes about it! "ha ha is that my phone?!"

    Small correction to match what he said!

    Tommy is a legend!
