My link Tory MSP John Lamont has allegedly said allowing catholic schools is the state sponsoring of lifelong sectarian attitudes. I am watching it now.

In saying the Weissman beat him to it You dont know maybe he was double checking as I suspect the great unwashed are more intent on scrutinising his blog rather than a anonymous poster on here. Anyway my point is it has been out there for a while and yet no majors have run with it.

Listen you Leggat has been/is a Journalist longer than he has been a blogger. Get it straight.

Cause this place is full of self loathing Rangers fans that have Guilt complexes cause they have bought into the mhedias anti Rangers propaganda.

His name is Kevin myers and heres a piece on Fenianism he did the day before. Kevin Myers: Cycle of futility that is Fenianism knows no end Wednesday June 22 2011 The Northern Ireland police are trying to see the testimony of Marion Price to the Boston College oral history project, which has recorded the personal testimonies of the participants in the Troubles. The police apparently hope to discover something useful for a prosecution of the murderers of Jean McConville. Either way, no worthwhile trial will result. The only likely outcome is that other possible contributors to the archive might not offer testimonies. Meanwhile, the cycle of psychiatric futility that is Fenianism continues, as it has down the generations. Marion Price spent some of her childhood holding a cigarette for her handless, eyeless mutilated aunt Bridie Dolan, who was hideously maimed as a teenager when the IRA grenades she was carrying exploded. Such a waste of a life did not breed caution: Marion herself became an IRA activist, bombing London, as had the IRA of her aunt's time. Marion's life has been ruined by her involvement in terrorism, as was that of her aunt before her. Both women were useful largely because their sex partly protected them from suspicion. Thank heaven for little girls. Ninety years ago this week, two RIC Auxiliaries -- Leonard Appleford and George Wames -- took tea in a restaurant at the top of Grafton Street in Dublin. As they left, a girl in a sailor suit pranced up and cried to some men behind her, "Here they are!" The two men were then shot up to 20 times and killed. (Had they shot the person who fingered them, it would of course have been accounted a terrible war-crime by Irish nationalism). What a deed for a teenage girl to carry down all the days of her life. I've said many, many times that the more we know of the past Troubles, the less likely we are to repeat them. But maybe that's because I want to believe it: for didn't the nationalist people of West Belfast have all the knowledge that they could possibly have wanted about the futility of violence before they began their insane war in 1971? Did they not have poor Bridie Dolan to tell them? Did they not have the ambush of Raglan Street of July just 90 years ago to tell them of the consequences of violence? This sordid little murder of a Catholic police officer led to an eruption of sectarian violence in which 14 people were killed, 100 injured, and scores of houses burnt out. Did the nationalist people thereby learn of the futility of violence? Indeed not, as a generation on Bridie Dolan was to discover. The reverse: "The Raglan Street Ambush" is cherished in Falls Road folklore. For decades, nationalist Ireland has told glorious stories of IRA Flying Columns beating the dastardly Black and Tans. In fact, there were few Flying Columns, and an awful lot of Grafton Street-like murders. Like poor Patrick Shanley, a Catholic RIC man from Leitrim, who three days after the sailor-girl so distinguished herself, was shot down as he emerged from Mass in Kildorrey in Cork, along with Sergeant Ryan. He was finished off on the ground. Mary McArdle, who participated in a comparable murder in the 1980s, is now cultural adviser to the Northern Executive. Thanks heaven for little girls indeed. Though, to be sure, most young girls are victims. In 1921, two weeks after the Grafton Street murder, and with the truce just hours away, an RIC man named Alfred Needham, aged 20, clearly thought that finally he could marry his sweetheart. But a clerk in Ennis tipped off the IRA that the groom's profession was "constable". So a beaming Alfred and his teenage bride emerged from the registry office -- and two gunmen shot him dead. Yet another young girl, yet more choice memories. Next day, as the last seconds to the truce ticked away, RIC Constable Alexander Clarke -- who always went unarmed -- was returning to his lodgings in Skibbereen. He had studiously declined to engage in political work and was well-liked in the town. He was stopped by four gunmen and murdered. The "War of Independence" was now over: next chapter, "The Civil War". Yes, I've deliberately picked on one strand of killings, of RIC-men in "ambushes". No one from Boston ever interviewed the participants of these killings, but the details were made public and available in the press. Did their shocking nature dissuade future IRA men and women from doing more of the same? Not a bit. This July our political classes will once again unite around the fiction that "the War of Independence" was honourable and necessary and largely worthwhile. Meanwhile, armed republicans remain brooding bloodily over their ancient rites and pagan runes: for bizarrely, the more unsuccessful Fenianism is, the more it cherishes those past failures. This is cultural dementia, the equivalent of a sky-diver revering loose harnesses, or the deep-sea diver dreaming happily of leaking scuba tanks. And in a couple of weeks, on the 90th anniversary of the truce, will we hear again from some damn-fool Catholic bishop prating about the noble fight for freedom of 90 years ago? And who, pray, will ask: Whatever became of that nice young girl in the sailor suit? Irish Independent

That sounds as fair and balanced as Mac Crack Pot. I wonder he has the balls to talk about Northern Irish paramilitaries. I thought Johnny Adair was having a word with him after his MAD DOG and Ayrshire men story about those two clowns that sent stuff through the post?

I would place the guilt purely at Rangers doorstep for if it wasnt for Rangers winning everything that mattered and doing "well" in Europe then they cunts wouldnt have spat their dummy oot and started greeting.

never heard that one before yawn

It really is amazing that with limited searching on the internet at the time this 1st came out that I a novice could find links with Dermot Desmonds son and PIARA Powar. Yet no Major newspaper or phone in has exposed this. I wonder if they will sit on their hands with this new news I say new The wiessman posted the info 2 days ago yet nothing in the papers.

My link Thursday, 23 June 2011 FARE'S PIARA POWAR AND CELTIC-Exclusive PIARA POWAR today stands accused of having paid employment links which lead to… CELTIC! Powar is the paid chief executive of the highly controversial and extremely secretive FARE organisation. And it was on Piara Powar’s say-so that FARE launched an undercover operation which targeted Rangers. I have already revealed that Powar’s flat refusal to reveal the identity of whoever acted on FARE’s behalf, and which led to Rangers being charged by UEFA, has sparked fears the Ibrox club could have been the victims of entrapment by an agent provocateur. Now I have been handed a dossier which indicates Powar is implicated in a paper trail of companies which leads to… CELTIC! For as well as being paid as FARE’s chief executive, it is believed Piara Powar also banks a fee for acting as an ambassador for an company called, Onside. This has been pointed out before, as is the fact that Onside is a subsidiary of another group, called Milestone. It has also been pointed out in the past that one of the directors of Milestone is one, Brett, J Desmond. He is the son of Celtic owner, Dermott Desmond. Until this point in the paper trail there appears no direct link which would disqualify Piara Powar’s FARE from acting against Rangers. However, there is now a claim that the shares Brett J Desmond owns in Milestone are held by a company known as Aurum nominees. And the further allegation is that Aurum Nominees hold nearly ONE MILLION shares in…. CELTIC! If that is the case, then Piara Powar should have made all of this known to UEFA. There are other questions which Piara Powar has to answer. One of them is just how was it decided to launch an undercover operation against Rangers in Eindhoven? What prompted it? Who made the decision? Did FARE consult UEFA? Did UEFA instigate the whole thing? These are questions the new regime at Ibrox may like to find the answers to. And if UEFA did not set the ball rolling, they are also questions the European governing body may like to consider. Especially with the allegations of a paper trail which leads from Piara Powar, through his paid employment, all the way back to… CELTIC!

They both can stick their Bills up their arse!!!!

Whats Orville the duck and The Scottish Nazi Party got in common?

And heres me thinking it was Roseanna Cunningham arse Alex Salmond hand his hand up.

I don't find "Rule Britannia" offensive, although it is jingoistic and a bit anachronistic and old fashioned. It has been more than a century since Britain did rule the waves after all. However, it doesn't bother me. 1 But flower of scotland a song about a battle in 1314 isnt "Flower of Scotland" is a seventies song. It does not offend me in the slightest. I find it quite inspirational - who wouldn't - as it is about fighting to protect ones home and country from an invader. 2 Bigoted ignorant niavity at its best invader the border line between Scotland and England was blurred at best with scottish lords owning english land and vice verca the 1400s in no century to build the 21 century on. Oh yes what did Robert De Bruce(yes a very Scottish name you would think he was like the Norman Bastards English. oh he was) after he won at bannock burn did he sat brilliant Lets get down to protecting our borders. No he "invaded" England and Ireland Freed from English threats, Scotland's armies could now invade northern England. Bruce also drove back a subsequent English expedition north of the border and launched raids into Yorkshire and Lancashire. Buoyed by his military successes, Bruce's forces also invaded Ireland in 1315, purportedly to free the country from English rule (having received a reply to offers of assistance from Donal O'Neil, king of Tyrone), and to open a second front in the continuing wars with England. The Irish even crowned Edward Bruce as High King of Ireland in 1316. Robert later went there with another army to assist his brother. To go with the invasion, Bruce popularised an ideological vision of a "Pan-Gaelic Greater Scotia" with his lineage ruling over both Ireland and Scotland. This propaganda campaign was aided by two factors. The first was his marriage alliance from 1302 with the de Burgh family of the Earldom of Ulster in Ireland; second, Bruce himself on his mother's side of Carrick, was descended from Gaelic royalty in Scotland as well as Ireland. Bruce's Irish ancestors included Eva of Leinster (d.1188), whose ancestors included Brian Boru of Munster and the kings of Leinster. Thus, lineally and geopolitically, Bruce attempted to support his anticipated notion of a pan-Gaelic alliance between Scottish-Irish Gaelic populations, under his kingship. This is revealed by a letter he sent to the Irish chiefs, where he calls the Scots and Irish collectively nostra nacio (our nation), stressing the common language, customs and heritage of the two peoples: "Whereas we and you and our people and your people, free since ancient times, share the same national ancestry and are urged to come together more eagerly and joyfully in friendship by a common language and by common custom, we have sent you our beloved kinsman, the bearers of this letter, to negotiate with you in our name about permanently strengthening and maintaining inviolate the special friendship between us and you, so that with God's will our nation (nostra nacio) may be able to recover her ancient liberty.” The diplomacy worked to a certain extent, at least in Ulster, where the Scots had some support. The Irish chief, Donal O'Neil, for instance, later justified his support for the Scots to Pope John XXII by saying "the Kings of Lesser Scotia all trace their blood to our Greater Scotia and retain to some degree our language and customs." The Bruce campaign to Ireland was characterised by some initial military success. However, the Scots failed to win over the non-Ulster chiefs, or to make any other significant gains in the south of the island, where people couldn't see the difference between English and Scottish occupation. Eventually it was defeated when Edward Bruce was killed at the Battle of Faughart. The Irish Annals of the period described the defeat of the Bruces by the English as one of the greatest things ever done for the Irish nation due to the fact it brought an end to the famine and pillaging brought on the Irish by both the Scots and the English. There more and more Power these cunts get the more and more they have turned out to me what I always suspected of them the Scottish NAZI Party. Rewriting History to suit their own demands.

That was just Politics on his part. The tims have also been on to him as being a Rangers man Burleys days were numbered and he knew it so getting rid of McGregor would kill 2 birds with stone. Knowing that he would be brought back in when Burley got the boot.

The one common denominator in all this Neil Lennon. It was his campaign of bringing war to the spl that rebel roused the rhats in the east end.

What did you do to the guy on the left? whit no shit thats you FFS.

How can you sing GSTQ in a sectarian Manner? How can you sing GSTQ aggressively ? I might have sung it out of tune but never aggressively wit with snarling teeth and clinch fist LOLZ

Says the guy whos team have adopted flower of scotland a racist dirge.

I think 7000 rabid grey and greens making the sign of the cross in the broomloan would be more offensive to the Roman Catholic church not only are they prostituting their faith a kind of taking the lords name in vain but considering the decline in RC attendances I think the dirty beasts would be more offended that they are not doing it in the chapel.

I for one will back him up on that.

Dont blame them It may sound childish but you started it at Hampden it was deafening. I dont think a 1000 N.I fans if that in a 50000 stadium would have made an impact.

So I sing Britain's national anthem in Britain and I get beaten up for doing so by a bunch of confused bigots and Im the bad guy. Just SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH. You sound absurd as the new laws.

See ma post above Rangers Fans Pfffffffft Booing the northern Ireland national anthem. If the Tartan Army are made up of Rangers fans then I suggest you are the ones masquerading.

I support Scotland but I would never align myself with a bunch of bigoted jacobite loving get a hardon watching Braveheart (one of the many anti English/British films the antisemitic roman catholic wife beater has made.) Tartan Army the tit who says he speaks for all scotland fans husband or something is he the one that tried to trade mark it money grabbing wanker. How can you sit there with all your Rangers fans that make up the Tartan army and boo the Northern Ireland national anthem and look yourselves in the mirror Rangers Fans Pffft
