They identified with their struggle, and triumphantly denounced the spectacle, and showed it for what it really was, an absurd and futile facade.

So there is sense to the madness.

GSTQ is supposed to be the "British" national anthem. I get annoyed when they play it for "England" sporting occasions. I'd much rather we adopted "Land of Hope and Glory" for England games and that

And people say English fans are dumb....they are the true pioneers. Forget all those posh writers and academics, these guys are out on the streets making a difference, making the world a better place. That is why I read the Sun and vote BNP...

Nice one. They were kicking up a stink today on Radio Ulster coz David Healy didn't get shortlisted for Sports Personality of the Year.

We like kicking up stinks over here.

That's because we can't even decide what our national anthem is.

At N .Ireland matches, half the crowd stands for God Save The Queen and the other half boos.

If N. Ireland is supposed to be a country in it's own right, why does it have to be the English national anthem? The rest of the UK has their own song.

A lot of people have been suggesting that it should be Danny Boy/Londonderry Air.

You boys in the North are all just maddies.
