Flags have been taken down from the Lisburn Road. Nice day, isn't it?
I just noticed today that the Union Flags and Ulster Banners (or 'Red Hand Flags' if you must) that decorated the Lisburn Road over the summer have been taken down. When they went u… more »
Another Church Attacked In Ballymena
I wasn't going to post much today and leave last night's gloat (which in hindsight would have been more aptly titled "One Night In September") at the top of the home page. After all, looking at the news you'd be forgiven for thinking not much else had ha… more »
British Champions 1 - England 0
Fans celebrate after the match. OK it's a crap picture but my phone has no flash.
Fans are still singing and cars hooting their horns up Tate's Avenue and along the Lisburn Road as I type. Chants of "Healy, Healy, Healy" being followed up by rousind… more »
Worst Possible Start
Fans Loyalists gather for sectarian sing-song. May or may not attend football later, but probably aren't bothered.
The match hasn't even started and I'm already feeling sick. There are a bunch of "fans" who appear to be from Rathcoole (no big surprise… more »

Euan Patrick, from Halyburton Place, Cupar, Fife, has been ordered to leave Northern Ireland after being caught on CCTV participating in the Woodvale riots on Monday. He has also been told that in future he must stay away from the areas where there have… more »

I laughed when I saw some local boys on Newsline last night complaining that they'd travelled to Windsor Park to try and catch a glimpse of England's primadonnas training there. It was no secret that the training session would be closed but it wasn't jus… more »
PSNI - Heavy-Handed or Inactive?

Spongers Waste More Of Our Taxes
More loyalists out rioting around Woodvale in north Belfast today. Police had petrol bombs thrown at them following searches linked to a UVF "show of strength" on Saturday.
The good news is the police managed to nail 4 of the bastards on Saturday and… more »
When's A Republican Not A Republican?

In yesterday's post on the terrorist attack on a charity fundraising festival I, very deliberately, did not use the term 'dissident' at all. The report linked to from the story lays the blame with "dissident republicans" but I feel this is a very deliber… more »
Republicans Target Charity Fundraiser
Republicans are being blamed for planting suspect devices in Hillsborough this afternoon, disrupting an annual Oyster Festival that raises funds for cystic fibrosis. Just after 1:30 pm, bomb warnings were phoned in. Army technicians carried out controlle… more »
