Adams is a great man too.
I wouldnāt be surprised if James McClean got involved in politics when heās finished his career
The point stands whatever you personally think about Adams.
McGuinnessās campaign was doomed by his association with Adams, Martin is held in much higher regard in the south than the other lad. I spoke with a group of people at work today and this was the concensus to a man.
Adams is a great man too.
If you asked the same question yesterday would you have got the same response I wonder?
I doubt Gerry was any less or more popular yesterday so Iād say yes.
People will obviously be more sympathetic to someone who has died than someone who is alive
A fuckā¦ Iām on the verge of crying hereā¦
Are there any programmes on RTE tonight about him?
Would agree with that. Martin was more straight up.
Martin is at rest knowing that all that has gone before him whether good or bad has been for the greater good of NI.
He will only really be appreciated in his passing which is an utter shame.
Those throwing stones today will only strengthen his legacy & embolden his supporters to continue thriving for a United Island.
Adams is a snake
Youāre playing the man not the ball. Sinn Fein on weak ground on this subject anyway. Iād move on if I was you.
Gerry Adams said on the radio this morning people were fully entitled not to forgive and forget.
A thoroughly decent sort. The true statesman of the north. Adams and the rest of the sf scum held him back in the presidential election but that office is nearly below him anyway, its a grand harmless position for someone nice and easy going like michael d. Didnāt seem to ever covet celebrity, just did what he had to do for his own locality, using violence or politics.
McGuinness would never have felt held back by his republican comrades, free state scum and British tyrants - yes.
Is his brother Big Tom McGuinness still the last man from Derry City to play county football?
Yup.
Thatās amazing in fairness. Itās nearly 40 years since he played for Derry
