Is it just me or have SF vanished?

you are obviously reading a different thread than me. All Im reading is ABSF bitching - page after page of it. Need some handbags?

I did quite like their 2 day drool over SF not holding leadership contests

Upon being pointed out,they did,and results listed....they cribbed they like that type election

But these are people who sneer at others,who isolate if they catch coronavirus and lambast anyone who called for paddys day parade cancelled in middle of a highly contagious pandemic....god love em,partisanship has blinded them :pac:

Most of the top posters are from a republican persuasion. So if you are seeing that type of thread, it must be the vast majority of individual posters with small numbers of posts being critical of Sinn Fein and then being overwhelmed by a repetitive blocking opinion by the same republican posters.

One republican poster alone has over 12% of the posts on this thread.

I agree

For 70% + of Ireland it is Anyone But Sinn Fein

anytime i pop in its the same rubbish. Get over it lads, SF are now contenders.

Must be hard on all those who keep telling us every year that the SF vote is reducing. Probably explains the handbags and bitching.

Makes for a very boring thread though.

And yet you keep coming back. Try harder

SF core online support have much in common with Reddit and 4chan groups of the alt-right and support for Trump.

The parallels are so obvious.

I think that shows how little you know about SF. You keep doing the trump thing though.

It sure is. 90% of the posts in here are from shinners. They seem rightly rattled. What a mess they have made of things since they ‘won’ the election!

You may be right in your assestment,given it was in mansion house at 2am anything is possible :pac:

Quite how he didnt know he was filmed is beyond me,as i seen several snapchats from that night,even in the video on irish times there was several people recording it?

Id love to see a poll conducted here to see if he damaged him long term,as he was unreal popular......its one city where they seem to have turned it around after diastorus council elections of few years ago....be interesting to see,if it stalled them on ground

Doubt it,theres only 1 or 2 Rabid FG'ers regular in these threads
Hope the Shinners make an exception for here and continue to post links
Most of the newspapers have business accounts they can claim against their essential business's and get the vat back if that's the problem:D

SF online supporters group urges members not to share news articles to prevent media from making money from clicks. Instead they should copy content from the articles and distribute for free.

A nasty way for SF supporters to give the big bad media a kicking when they are already on the floor.

Interesting that SF claimed it had nothing to do with the online group yet the group immediately changed one of it's rules when told to do so by SF HQ.

What are you even on about?

So once a person has beliefs they are OK to continue?

Racists have their beliefs. They can offend but once they apologise that's grand according to you.

Sure continue.

As you were.

Leo has beliefs, doesn't stop you ranting every day about him.

You are more confused than Scooby Doo.

Yes,people are entitled to their racist beliefs (obv not ideal like),but im not the taught-police...ive no interest in telling people how to think??

(Like ive no interest in telling likes of arlene foster,how to think etc,once they arent offending people and willing to be civil,what more can you reasonably expect?)

Name 1 occasion,where i have ever ranted about leo,wasnt me brah.....seems to me,only person confused here is you

I dunno he was clearly playing to the 'in' crowd. When Culinane was found out. He denied he said it - first did not realise he was filmed. It was only when it was pointed out he was filmed did he admit it first off.

If he was so proud of his beliefs why deny it at the start? Also he was never in 'active service' in NI it seemed to me he just wanted to be vicariously part of the gang/club.

Like it would be wrong to expect someone to deny their beliefs imo,noone has to agree with them,but everyone is entitled to their's (even those who favour target the poorest fiscal policies,i inherently disagree with em,but respect their worldview)..

...the world is a big scary place and not everyone is gonna agree on everything all the time,and thats ok too

It was interesting that when Cullinane was forced to give a half assed apology for the sake of PR - he used exactly the similar phrase Gerry Adams used back in the 80's.

"I've never distanced myself from the IRA"

They are well trained in phraseology, I will give them that.

Yeah she could not say time has moved on we need to move away from this phraseology etc etc. As it would have been a slap in the face to the hardline SF supporters and recent 'republican history'. So she had to couch the thing in waffle.

There is a reason why SF pick them and promote them. They want to move away from the AOS, Dessie Ellis types and make the party respectable.

I just watched Mary Lou on the Late Late. She had the neck to go on about the hypocrisy of FF/FG etc etc in saying that SF are not fit for government.

Yet in the very next question she very awkwardly answered the David Cullinane - 'up the ra' question. She seemed to bluff the answer after going on about FF/FG wanting it both ways in the previous question. And said the 'up the ra' statement is part of republicanism and is said even used outside SF circles (who was never clarified). Although she can understand how it can make some people uncomfortable that are not used to it!

Basically a bluffers answer. And she neither condemned the phrase 'up the ra' nor directly condemned David Cullinane's use of the phrase. A classic SF stance in my view - dancing around the edges. She even said to Tubridy that he would have to ask Cullinane why he said it - despite knowing full well Cullinane's views on it!

When Mary Lou and Eoin O Brion(Blackrock College boy) grew up exactly the same.
