Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7The PSNI should hang their heads in shame for taking part in such an overtly anti Protestant sectarian sport , such as GAA.
The Orange Order to Catholics is what the GAA is to prodestants.....Ricky !!!!! We put up with your marches u can put up with our sport...and is there no Catholics in the PSNI......50-50.....NO !!!!!!
Actually Brendan, while we do put up with the GAA our marches are consistenly attacked, as in Ardoyne last Twelfth.
C'mon guys, it's good that this has started.
wasn't Edwin Poots from the DUP welcomed at a GASA conference recently enough?
Has Nickey Brennan or have any of his predecessors been invited to anything with an orange hue?
Your sectarian marches not attacked you liar -they are opposed in areas where they are not wanted - a message you thicks have a hard time grasping. When was the last time one of your brethern was injured by an attack on one of your odious parades then eh?
Only as recently as the twelfth of July Orangemen were injured when their bus was pelted with missiles in Armagh. As well as this a rocket was launched at marchers at Ardoyne and it was only by the grace of God this did not result in serious injury. Nevertheless dont take my word for this, key in "Ulster Newsletter" or "Irishnews", then click on archives, then the date corresponding to the 13th of July and you can read these accounts for yourself.
Odious!?- so much so that only about 500000+ spectators come out to watch these parades, not forgetting many individuals from your own community who made the effort to come out and be "offended".
