But they are still not a Republic. My understanding is that their aim was to kick the Brits out of NI and join the south with the north?

Bombings in the 70s and 80s - 1971 Post Office Tower, London. 72 Aldershot, letter bomb Israeli Embassy London. 73 Old Bailey, Kings Cross and Euston Stns. 74 M62 coach bomb, Houses of Parliament, Woolwich, Guildford, London, Birmingham, Bristol. 75 Caterham. 75 Kilburn. 78 Bristol. 79 Glasgow, Airey Neave blown up Houses of Parliament. 81 Chelsea barracks, Wimpey Bar Oxford St. 82 Hyde Park. 83 Harrods. 84 Brighton Tory Conference. 89 Deal. Not just London and not every 5 minutes but you never knew where they would strike next. It wasnt just the IRA though. There was Black September and the Iranian Embassy siege when a WPC was shot dead.

That is why terrorism ultimately fails. The psychopaths or those who direct the psychopaths finally realise that killing people doesn't get them what they want. As you say, if they attacked the infrastructure it would cause far greater chaos. I worked in London during the IRA bombings and we continued to go to the pub and go to work as usual. It was a greater problem dealing with the 3 day week. Of course those who lost loved ones will have felt the pain, but the rest of us just rocked on and got on with it.

Closing the borders will not prevent those intent on maiming and killing carrying out their attacks.

I haven't seen them yet. How did Pelle play?

hey!

Sat in the pub with friends having a pleasant chat when I checked the final score. I think the shouted "Get the f*ck in" left a few people nonplussed.

There is a difference between making "knowingly ridiculous statements" (which is highly subjective by the way) and lying. I have explained where I have thought it necessary and I have not run away from any thread. There was a period when I had a couple of trolls on ignore, you being one, so it may well have been that I didn't read a number of requests to explain what I said. That is what happens it you have people on ignore. It is not running away. I have tried to explain hyperbole to your mate Hypo but he doesn't get it. Not my fault. You both seem to have an agenda, not just with me but with other posters. Instead of attacking other people all of the time, perhaps both of you should have a look at yourselves? Trolling on the internet is not a great way to spend your lives, no matter how important it might make you feel.

What is a Toby? I think the point is that it was said that Morgan left the club without dignity but the evidence provided was from the previous season when he spat his dummy out. I don't recall him leaving on bad terms. Do you?

Not to worry mate. I think most of the decent posters on here see CB Fry and Hypo for what they are.

If you removed all of the sanctimonious posts admonishing others for what they do there wouldn't be much of a Board and Fry and his buddy Hypo would be out of business!

I have just bought some Zovirax because it is supposed to get rid of herpes but here you are again. Seriously mate, just f*ck off and troll somewhere else.

No I don't. I don't lie and I don't run away. What I do is to put certain internet trolls on ignore. That is not running away.

It is one thing to watch a match and make a comment about a player who no longer plays for us, but some people seem to seek these games out in the hope that the player or players are crap. There is a time to let go.

Hounds people? Really? I may have asked once or twice for a link but "hounds." I don't dispute that he wanted out. What I did say though is that he did stay for another season and he didn't leave on bad terms as far as I can see. Once he had agreed to stay I didn't see any lack of dignity. Did anyone else apart from Batman?
