ewerk 31596 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You obviously kick with different feet though. mum's a catholic, dad isn't was just bestman at my bestfriends wedding who happens to be protestant that's the trouble with assuming, normally end up being wrong less assuming i'm biggoted just because i'm from n.ireland, unfort only the dickheads make it onto the news. support rep of ireland because frankly when i was a kid i couldn't go to a n.ireland game without hearing about how someone wanted my blood spilled or whatever Not really the same for the rep games, it was more like the rugby less hassle and more mixed I work in Norn Iron mate so I know the stereotypes aren't true in the main. It's not the first time you've gone OTT imo (iirc) over Evans being shite etc. though. Canny player imo, and you seem to favour the Republic over the North. Football team, flag next to your avatar etc. Which is funny, given what you've said iyam. what can i say the years of seeing redhands used in other ways and that flag with uff and uvf etc written on them, then plastered all over my trips around the city may have put me off it over the years Agreed, hence why I use the tricolour too, I certainly prefer what it represents.

ewerk 31596 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The meaning behind it's design, the green for catholicism, the orange for Protestantism and the white for peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the meaning of the IRA to achieve by bloodshed what they couldn't by democratic means then? And the red hand of ulster was originally an Irish thing being from before the split.

ULSTER MAG 0 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 i don't think he's that good, and i don't want a player whose only been in the paper for possible rape/fightingwe've had enough bad press i think, no sense risking some more on someone decidedly average Has Evans not been cleared of all allegations, or is it just because he's still a Man U player that its been kept queit? Cant wait til he signs and the headlines in the paper - "Toon Sign £5m Rapist" Good to see you folk getting a brief history lesson on the politics and history of Our Wee Country!! Travel widely around N.I. and there is all manner of flags flying in various towns for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I think I was pretty clear on its meaning. Not like you to try and put a completely different spin on it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULSTER MAG 0 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 "Travel widely around N.I. and there is all manner of flags flying in various towns for various reasons."at this time of year they only tend to be for one reason, thankfully i'll be off in dublin watching rage against the machine during silly season next weekend On your way down take a detour thru Lurgan and down to Newry, glad to see the local GAA supporters have decked lamposts with Armagh and Down flags for the silly season. Enjoy Rage against the Machine by the way!! Back to Evans, still think he's better than anything we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
