For anyone interested, go onto the ( boxing news now ) website were it lists all the latest world boxing news and stories. It has the last 3 days press conferences for the Frampton and Quigg fight. These are the full pressers each lasting around 45 mins or so and are much different to the snippets you see on SSN etc. Some very heated moments and explosive exchanges between the camps. Frampton really can't stand Hearn and Gallagher. Well worth the watch, especially the atmosphere in Belfast, it's Extremely hostile.

Carl Frampton is a Protestant from Loyalist "Tigers Bay". He is married to a catholic girl and has broad support from both communities. He unites both Catholic and Protestant through sport, the way it should be. Very very highly respected and a working class hero in Belfast. A real gentleman.

We know IRAceltic were not using EBT's apart from the Juninho example ( to our knowledge ), however what I would like to know is what scheme or facility they were / are using to pay wages? You can bet your right arm that it will be a system that delivers not far off what the EBT system does in terms of tax savings, especially with someone like Dermot Desmond at the helm. Everyone is distracted by the sole focus on Rangers tax affairs yet no one is asking these other clubs to lay open the details of their tax affairs which would of course embrace their moral pontificating and prove our advantage?? Aye right. You could almost guarantee that for example if Rangers / David Murray were saving £10 on tax then IRAceltic / Dermot Desmond were saving about £9 ? Yet no one cares what the rest were / are doing. EBT was the scheme out of many deliberately chosen to go after and Rangers the club out of many deliberately chosen to go after yet the others are allowed to be ignored? The hypocrisy is disgusting and disgraceful.

It would've cost Murray more money had he not used EBT's but that in no way means he wouldn't have spent it or couldn't afford it. The reality is he would have done it using whatever best tax avoidance scheme was advised to him, if it wasn't by EBT's it would've been by other circumventing means which truck loads of companies were / are using. I'm pleased to hear MON speak sense on the issue but sadly it will hold no water with the media and Rangers hating juggernaut that is revving its engine. Brace yourselves.

Would've been epic, however an outdoor event in Belfast in February is out of the question.

Frampton will win on points. Quigg beat Martinez convincingly last time out whilst Frampton had a scare in the USA, but people are getting far too carried away over that. Martinez isn't the motivated / hungry fighter he was against Frampton for a start and he totally out boxed Quigg in the first round. Quigg caught him with some good shots in the 2nd and finished him well so fair play. Frampton has beat other guys more convincingly than Quigg has before also. Frampton totally underestimated the quality of his last Mexican opponent and learnt a huge lesson that night, this will prove a massive help to him for future fights like this one. Frampton has won all his fights and his opponents have largely been of a higher quality than Quiggs who has also had 2 draws. You can tell that Quigg is a bumbling idiot every time he speaks and is believing all Eddie Hearns usual over exaggerated hype and it's gonna cost him in this fight. Quigg is a good fighter and seems to bang a bit but Frampton will dominate this fight and put Quigg back in his place.

Whoever takes their chances will win this one. I think it will be end to end and both teams will create and concede lots of chances. I genuinely think we have better quality going forward though. 3-2 Rangers.

I watched that game again on YouTube not so long ago and Ronald does indeed look away. He actually looked nervous as Fuck. Understandably so because every fan was feeling exactly the same. Good times.

Sterling was first to come to mind for me. Smalling is suspicious because of his voice.

New banner coming .. ( You're In There For Us, We're Out Here Because Of You )

Northern Ireland are not full of world class players but what we have got is a great bunch of hardworking and talented boys with hunger and desire. The Norn Iron defence is better than Scotland's that's for sure. Jonny Evans, Paddy M'cNair, Gareth M'cauley, Aaron Hughes, Conor M'laughlin, Chris Brunt, Craig Cathcart. That's a decent list of defenders to choose from. People also need to realise the disparity that faces Northern Ireland boys growing up trying to become professional footballers given our location, the lack of a professional league and infrastructure at home, the legacy of the troubles in a lot of upbringings and the small population we have. All of these things make our achievement even greater.

Very good first half performance, controlled the game. Brilliant support from the 2000 travelling fans.

Haha fuckin hell, that's mental.

So proud of our wee country tonight, absolutely brilliant performance.

He will be back at IRAceltic at some time in the future as Manager again. Mark my words.
