A top Fermanagh GAA player has quit the sport as a result of what he has described as persistent sectarian abuse.
Darren Graham, a 25-year-old Protestant, has represented Fermanagh in both Gaelic football and hurling.
Mr Graham was a baby when his father, a member of the UDR, was killed by the IRA.
The talented county star played for Lisnaskea Emmetts and said that he was hounded out because of his religion. He represented Fermanagh at Under-21 level and is believed to be the only non-Catholic player at county level.

but being a republican you would condemn this but condone the killing of his fatherā¦

while it would be remiss of me to single out individual cases for comment I would like to say that great credit should go to the republican movement for creating a situation where there is now peace in Ireland & I welcome their continuing attempts to unite Ireland
That fella is a current member of the gaa, playing both hurling and football in Fermanagh, or as northern loyalist bigots like to call it, stick hurling and bogball. A true gael, who despite abuse from ārepublicansā continues to play the games he loves, with the full and unequivable backing of the gaa. Stick to your sectarian and divisionist soccerball ncc, at least then you know what our talking about.
[quote=ādubliner 2ā]The kicking I took was mainly from WUMās like you. If Liam made any mistake it was allowing you and your ilk to clog up the board with pointless WUMās that you and your mates probably found funny but those of us who actually enjoyed debate and discussion found absolutely tedious. I donāt know what happened with SS*, Art et al. They will be missed on AFR. You, on the other hand, should just kill yourself and rid the world of your obnoxious presence.
Did you ever stop to think about what you were doing? Pretending to be a girl just to wind a few people up? At what point on the evolutionary ladder are you at? Youād get more sense from apes. If Iām as dull as dishwater youāre abviously the funniest guy in the world with your female alter ego.
The best of luck to former AFR posters on this site. Iām sticking with AFR but Iāll read here silently from time to time to see what you are saying. Some of you have a lot of interesting things to say. The WUMS can piss off[/quote]
Sad day for the site when this chap is posting hereā¦ I have just got to this post, but it will warm my heart to see flano inevitably tell this lad to fuck off further down the thread.
To hear him advocate suicide in this post saddens me greatly, especially when this is such a prevalent danger amongst young men in society today. To think that this āpersonā is allowed to teach children is a sad indictment of our schools system and I would hope to never cross his path in my everyday life.
Another example of a teacher of children showing abhorrent behaviour. Is there anything wrong with being homosexual if he is? Would you make fun of a child in a classroom if he or she was homsexual?
Its worrying to me that someone like you has access to the hearts and minds and bodies of our children.

Iāve stuck a poll up on this topic. Huge response to it, (over 1,000 posts and over 22,000 views) but maybe itās time for us to move on. Put forward your opinion along with your vote if you wish. I know I wouldnāt be here if it werenāt for AFR but what Iād hate to see happening is a thread the same as over on PV.
Here, who the fuck do you think you are telling us how to run the site and when threads should end? Youāre only a blow-in yourself!
Ah no, good idea Locke. Donāt want to pre-empt the result but the thread had much merit at different stages, namely welcoming new members who joined from AFR (didnāt have to leave AFR, just saw us mentioned over there); then there were discussions on goings on over there which were fine here because where else could they be had. But it probably gets too much when itās just posters continuing arguments they used to have on AFR about whether theyāre arseholes or not.
