Patrique do you bemoan the fact that you were not born an English man?Why do you always,incorrectly by the way,enjoy pointing out Irish co-operation with the English crown or government as if it were some kind of slight? It was the "real politic" of the times and your continually referring to such incidences seems like some longing for days gone by to return.Get over`it Patrique you can't join the garrison at Carrickfergus no matter how hard you wish. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 14/11/2010 16:45:32 816260 Link 0 |
The South has a thriving Protestant community and while there were terrible things that happened in Ireland during the Civil War and immediately afterwards this nonsense about ethnic cleansing is nothing more than hateful propaganda put out by people with certain political agendas especially malicious sinister elements in the Dublin Unionist media. Wicklow, where I go a lot, has a strong successful Protestant business community who are an integral a part of the county and I have never seen or heard of anything bad being said or done against them.....and why should there be. Many great Republicans and United Irishmen were devout Protestant worshippers. Now if we are seriously taking about ethnic cleansing and massacres let's start with the anti Catholic ones at Drogheda, Wexford, Clonmel, the Plantation of Ulster and more recently East & North Antrim.

Pomeroy, your club renamed itself Plunketts in 1918. Two years after Joesph Plunkett was executed by Brits. Coincidence? I think not. LOts of clubs in the country either named themselves or renamed themselves after 16. Yours was one. Also clubs like Erins Isle and others with black and green added the black band after `16 in tribute to the executed. Isles was actually founded by Dublin Volunteers. Our history is bound hand and foot with the freedom struggle, like it or not my friend. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 14/11/2010 18:59:12 816388 Link 0 |

Hurlingdub I'm afraid your knowledge of Tyrone teams is lacking. Pomeroy were named Plunketts in 1916. And like I said it was in dedication of Joseph Plunkett, who appears on our crest. What's your point? pplocal (Tyrone) - Posts: 5878 - 14/11/2010 19:17:30 816410 Link 0 |

That's fair enough Ta, it just seemed Hurlin was under the impression I was denying that my club was named after Joseph Plunkett when I've stated all along it was. Think it was just a misunderstanding pplocal (Tyrone) - Posts: 5878 - 14/11/2010 19:33:48 816427 Link 0 |

Unlike yourself ta32, i would consider atrocities carried out by either nationalists or unionists as terrible. You can name call as much as you want but your bigotry has no place in our republic. I mean supporting and justifying the killing of innocent people because of their religion is just wrong. bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4655 - 14/11/2010 19:37:38 816434 Link 0 |

Apologies Pomeroy. It was Patrique not yourself that said club was called after the Saint. Which would be okay too obviously! hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 14/11/2010 20:09:07 816475 Link 0 |
