If the Irish league was given the freedom to play on Sundays, I bet they would see an increase in revenue. I'm sick of this fundamentalist tiny minority dictating to everyone about what they can and can't do on a Sunday. It's always the same crowd, they tried to stop a play, without even sending a representative to ascertain if it was offensive or not. They tried to stop gays giving blood, they even banned ELO from performing at the showgrounds several years ago. They said, that the band with hits, such as Mr Blue Skies, play 'Devil Music'........ WTF!! IT'S RELIGIOUS APARTHEID!!

Wow, that's a swingeing statement, I'd love to hear more from you, you seem to be well informed on all things EU. What's your opinion on EU finances, the auditors have never been able to sign off the annual accounts, do you think there is wide scale fraud? What's your opinion on free trade deals, the UK can't negotiate any outside of the EU, and yet there are expanding nations begging for deals?

I'm sceptical there will be any convictions though, I thought they were on the PSNI's payroll already. Possible convictions usually get squashed with the cockroaches.

They do not believe in compromise and they tar all Nationalists with the same brush. There is no overcoming that kind of bigotry because it is reinforced in Protestant churches every week by belligerent ministers". Shame on you! You make your point about Unionists tarring Nationalists with the same brush, while tarring all Unionists with the same brush. I'm from a Unionist community and strongly believe in the union, but I hate loyalism. That doesn't make me a bigot for having a point of view on a subject. There's no doubt that the situation is getting worse on the streets but it's not all Unionism's fault, Republicanism has readily antagonised the situation when they see an advantage to be made. The Orange parades issue has definitely widened the chasm and a compromise has to be found before we end up back in a tit-for-tat murder campaign. I'm told that negotiations have previously taken place to solve the Ardoyne problem, they failed, maybe they SHOULDN'T leave negotiations to community leaders. Those positions on the Protestant side are filled with Loyalist paramilitaries, (students with degrees in related subjects can't get a job, as it's a closed shop in some areas) and I'm led to believe that it's much the same in Nationalist areas.
