I'm no Corbyn fan, but surely he was protesting against the injustice of the H-Block system which had been preceded by interment without trial, which sensible people could see was stoking the flames of terrorism. I can't believe for one minute that Corbyn actually supported IRA bombs going off...
Worthwhile asking Barber what exactly? And when you say "interesting topic" the topic was the alleged disgrace of Albion printing the picture of two Israelis of different religions on the calendar page for May.
Football fan expressing partisan but unrealistic claims about his own club shock. Celtic were formed in response to sectarianism, have always signed non-Catholic players and have a large proportion of non-Catholic fans with no-Irish connection. Look at Rod Stewart...
"Farage speaks his mind and tells it how it is"... no, Farage is a populist, and so he finds out what people like you think and says it back to you. I don't think he is unintelligent and so he probably realises that much of what he says is rubbish but it appeals to a strata of people who...
Thanks for sharing such golden memories. But you might be surprised to hear that there is a lot more to Brighton than a nudist beach (that no one goes to) and an accepting attitude to gay people. It might take more than 3 days in 1981 to say that you know the place. However, I spent 1 day in...
No tease; I would like to know what the big issue is about Liverpool fans taking the tune of Fields of Athenry and adding their own words. Please enlighten me...
Sadly Alf you are the only person on NSC who I have permanently blocked, so I have no idea what you have posted. However, I'm sure it is up to the usual standard of malevolence that made me ignore you in the first place. I suggest others follow-suit.
"campaign to threaten the lives of the whole Man C matchday squad"? Hyperbole like that should get a job writing for the Daily Express! Some bottles bouncing of a 20 ton bus is hardly life threatening.
No I don't think there is any connection at all. There has been bad blood between Roma and Liverpool since the 1984 final and even a cursory internet search will show you that Roma have a long track record of attacking and stabbing English fans. This is just the latest episode. The "Scouser"...
Yeah agreed, but in fairness all the cr4p around St.Patrick's day is a mixture of American OTT hubris which has spread over here (same as Halloween and Christmas) and Guinness marketing. Until quite recently pubs didn't even open in Ireland on 17th March.
This one, plus "ALBION...ALBION...etc." along with GOSBTS, and "BRIGHTON..clap, clap, clap" and maybe "Brighton from the south" are the only ones that get the whole ground going.
Most of the others mentioned are just ditties that only the few know and don't create an atmosphere...
