There’s not a county in Ireland with a record as rich in treachery as Cork. Their most famous son is the man who took British arms and turned them on his former comrades fighting for the same Ireland they fought for years earlier. Michael Collins is a stain on Ireland and Irish republicanism. A vicious psychopath, devoid of morals or principles and only interested in power. I can’t think of anything more comprehensive on the failings of the free state when they paint this man as some sort of hero while denigrating true patriots like the hunger strikers of 1981 or the Loughgall martyrs.[/QUOTE]
‘‘All this real capital, 33rd county, Cork is the greatest’’ bull shit stems from the insecurity of the treacherous past of their forefathers
They can’t acknowledge their past and are as you mentioned, very insecure about it being brought up. They’re overtly defensive but when push comes to shove they have no balls and wouldn’t welcome a fair fight.
No., I was born in Tyrone but I grew up in South Armagh. I actually have three different birth certificates so there is a lot of ambiguity about where I was born.
Odds on with the bookies now.
Could be a big blow for the Sinners here, losing out to a commie. Turnout was low in SF strongholds apparently, was it dole day?

Loughgall martyrs? A crowd of common criminals led by a vicious pyschopath Jim Lynagh, a man devoid of morals or principles. This was the same Lynagh who’s big blow for Irish freedom was to murder an 86 year old veteran of the Battle of the Somme, Sir Norman Stronge as he sat in his armchair watching television. Hit a soft target and run away without doing any fighting was the modus operandi of your ‘Loughall martyrs’. When they were called upon do a bit of fighting, they weren’t up to the job, weren’t able to actually fight and the result read SAS 8 IRA 0.
