Celtic and the Irish Struggle

Bingo.

Was just about to make the same point.

 

A list of the children <18 killed during the troubles.


The list contains brief details of the Catholics and Protestants who have been killed in North of Ireland by the British (including the use of rubber or plastic bullets (also referred to as 'baton rounds')), the Loyalists, the RUC, and the IRA. All of those killed were mostly Catholics and some Protestants. This list is not meant to offend anyone; it is here just to remember the children who lost their lives during the troubles.

My auntie's on the list. 14 year old shot dead with a plastic bullet on the way to get her ma a bottle of milk. Heartbreaking stuff.

 

That's the one mate

Too young to have met her unforunately.

 

Danny Barrett is in the second post. I lighten the script to make it easier to find. I am sure the others you mentioned are there also.

 

True this....

 

There's precious little discussion of Celtic going on in here so the thread is being moved to the Pub section.

 

Well they are, they both fought the same end goal.

Its sickening how the free state tries to justify the actions then and go on to condemn what happened in the O6.

 

Good generalisation. Everybody in the 26 counties is a west brit. Your insular nortern ireland mentality is no better than his "were free so * you". All the more surprising with your GAA avatar.

 

When he said the Free State,I doubt he meant everyone who lives there,just the sorry sort of revisionist in this video.

[ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-MjK_C-qV9o[/ame]

 

Then he should not generalise. This would be no different than using the term "the Celtic support" when referring to the opinions of the vocal minority of apologists on the internet.

 

Which was the point i was trying to make here...

* shame as well.

 

A robbery of a post office for some needed funding, to fund an armed campaign sums the "RA" up to you? :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002:

 

No the ambush and murder of Irish men going about there daily business by a group of scum only interested in money...

After the death of over 2000 people what exactly have the "RA" achieved that might not have been achieved without killing and maiming Irish and British citizens ?? The "RA" fanboys sicken me...

IMO there will never be a United Ireland because of the murder campaign carried out by the tiny minority of people from both North and South in "united Irelands" name..

A united Ireland will never happen and no amount of bombs or murder is going to make it happen...

 

Take It Down from the Mast.

There are no reasoned distinctions that can be made between any of the campaigns and the groups.

 

Yes cause the IRA achieved absolutely * all
