Do you have a sneaky hope that the Orange Order will riot at the weekend.

    I really hope it all kicks off, not that I am involved or anything, just good to watch from a very safe distance south of the Border.

    And sometimes the people of the North claim we don't understand their plight.

    Couldn't care what they do but I presume their actions will make me grateful for being south of the border, and their insanity allows us to see how much better our society is here.

    The only orangemen who will be rioting this weekend will be Armagh before or after their game with Tyrone on sunday.
    I'm going into the local town later, it will be all decked with union flegs and pictures of King Billy in a 60% nationalist town

    p.s. you sound like a right bell end

    you should all be thankful to Owen Roe O'Neill and his brave men as the 'Ulster-Scots' would have took over the whole island if they hadn't have put up a fight in the mid 1600's, if not the whole island would be like here in July

    If we somehow miraculously happen to beat both Argentina AND Germany there WILL be rio.....

    I wouldn't be wanting to see anyone getting hurt or anything but it is mildly satisfying seeing some of the louts getting an annual wash courtesy of the police water cannon.

    So brave watching from a distance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Yeah, because it gives a wonderful impression to international tourists who visit both jurisdictions, not to mention a wonderful boost to FDI.

    How are the holidays going OP?

    Hmm, I fully expect to see the OP, pissed out of his mind, jumping up and down on a PSNI landrover on the BBC's coverage of 'The Twelfth'.

    What are you blabbering about?

    They are just celebrating their culture...of being sectarian, racist, hateful...

    Wait a minute! Shower of bastards!

    The Actions of a bunch of Bigots in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland doesn't bother me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭ardle1


    Eh.......... NO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭intellectual dosser


    No, if we all stop paying attention then they will all stop marching.

    People are too complacent about how fragile the whole peace process is

    I'm gonna be in Portadown this weekend so I hope not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,337 ✭✭✭Wishiwasa Littlebitaller


    No, of course not.

    Been ages since there was a plane hijacking though. Wouldn't mind seeing something like that.

    No wait actually.. a Tsunami. Yeah, hope there's one of them again, as I own a projector now.

    But, we're both Irish, us and them, and we're all part of the British Isles, shouldn't we all try to get along...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    No, I feel sorry for the police force.

    Make no mistake about it, both the Republican and Loyalists absolutely love this time of year. The loyalists can have their supremicist act and the republican communities can partake in their 2 favourite hobbies, being offended and rioting.

    My post is meant as a bit of tongue in cheek, I actually am interested in this weekends developments.

    I'm usually all for tolerance, but feck it, a hate group is all they are. The only reason they want to go marching in certain contentious areas is because they want to lord it over the people living there. If they haven't figured out that's not acceptable behavior, they'll riot. if they have, they'll march in areas where they're welcome.

    I found this interesting. Especially the aftermath section.
