I suggest you moderate your language Malay
You see it’s your opinion that the IRA no longer exists , I disagree And so does any sensible unbiased person. I watched the bbc news programme a few nights ago , and it said that old members of the provisional IRA were engaged in training up young men near the border , in how to use weapons and explosives etc . Also , have we had anyone charged and convicted as yet for that young female reporter killed earlier this year by the IRA No , not yet , and yet the IRA lives freely even now in these communities ,Sinn Fein knows what is going on and are still connected to Sinn Fein That’s my opinion , I don’t believe anything you might say on the matter , so you can pipe down and stop issuing threats I know you might find that difficult |

By the way the person the bbc interviewed was an informer ( he was Irish from Derry ) and had been a very close associate of maginness , the ex IRA and Sinn Féin leader

Perhaps you would want him stopped from talking to the BBC as well ?

By:
"maginness , the ex IRA and Sinn Féin leader"

Whatever , I’m not particularly interested in your bigoted and biased viewpoint anyway

That's how the corrupt Tory British Governments work. It's filthy services still withhold the truth and to be honest it is so bad i don't think i really want to know the full truth of who they bought and used whilst carrying out their shoot to kill policies, their internment and double agents who ran free of the law. |

The guy was an ex British soldier from Derry ,a Catholic he joined in the 1960s on leaving school
In the 70s or 80s I’m not sure he went back to Derry and worked undercover , very close to Mc Guinness I believe him |

Regarding who people were supporting last Saturday it was interesting to see the reaction nationwide . Those interviewed in Wales were supporting South Africa , those interviewed in Scotland were supporting South Africa , those interviewed in Northern Ireland were supporting England . Ponder on that .
Not really surprising that those interviewed in Belfast were supporting England , any nationalists interviewed would probably not know anything about Sweet Chariot as they follow hurling , gaelic football and soccer ( Man U , Liverpool , and Glasgow Celtic) before any interest in rugby . Proves you need to know your audience before drawing any conclusions re opinions . England just underperformed , victims possibly of their own hype engendered by supporters and media . |

By:
Interesting conclusion there Kelly
And what do you put Ireland , Wales and Scotland’s failure down to A lack of hype from the media and supporters ? |

By:
In the south i was supporting England, in part because my son is English and i had a good life there, but also because the Saffer brand of rugby is brutal.
Those countries 71 were not good enough. England entered the final as massive FAVS, they choked and performed miserably. |

Re rugby , Ireland were beaten by Japan , and are about 5 players away from being top class. Scotland are not as good as Ireland on an average day for both. Wales are not as good as England , were lucky against France who played with 14 for most of the match . Wales vs South Africa was one of the worst rugby matches any of us have seen , England ( and the media ) obviously saw that match and concluded they only had to turn out to win the World Cup .
People draw conclusions which do not always work out in practice . One of the reasons that the Betfair ( original anyway ) model worked so well . |

There isn't that many people play rugby in Scotland, it's very much a minority sport. They probably punch above their weight considering this, at International level.
I come from the west of Scotland and don't know anybody who has ever taken part in an official Rugby match, even school or amateur, never mind professional. Even in pubs very few watch it or even know the rules. |

National team poor just now, I'd say there are more people playing presently than ever too. It's difficult to put a finger on it's decline, as the top English teams in the past had loads of Scots. Strachan got pillored for talking about genes recently. I'm not sure he was wrong, the black players in English, Dutch, French, Belgium football have had a positive impact on the national team over the years, their athleticism is a big asset. There is not a lot of black people in Scotland, don't know why, maybe the national team miss their natural power and pace. Dissident republicans do not have the support of the community, they should disband immediately,destroy their weapons and participate in peaceful processes to achieve their political aims. |

In 1971 Belfast, 14 nationalists were interned without trial - Francie McGuigan and Liam Shannon amongst them. They claim their British Army captors placed hoods on their heads and beat and tortured them for the following seven days. The `Hooden Men" suffered long-term psychological damage and they are still seeking justice today.
