Hundreds of millions of simulated ballots later, these were the results of the Assembly Election forecast. The PBP seat in West Belfast was the seat most likely to change hands, the second Alliance seat in Strangford the most marginal.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

From 1999 a postcard to be sent to the then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern on behalf of the residents of Garvaghy Road calling on the Taoiseach to ensure that the parade from Drumcree Church was rerouted away from The Garvaghy Road.

Imagine if these lads pushed for every big regional town to get a Technical University; and for every small town and village to get an FET college. Imagine if their leaders pushed for a United Ireland instead of taking their cues from the colonising classes in the UK and US. #spéirghorm #ireland

That's all we need, these fuckers on the rampage. Public opinion is not going to be so kind this time around. Where were you all when the man responsible was over for a golf tournament? Certainly weren't protesting, you fuckers.

Was refused entry to the Ladies FAI cup final for ‘trying to make a political statement’ by wearing this jersey. Had to get the wonderful Shelbourne club SLO John Brennan to sort it out. Incase anyone was worried if the FAI couldn’t embarrass themselves any further.

I wonder have the players seen the reaction online? They have to balance that w the unknown which is how their clubs/club owners react if they withdraw. An impossible position they’ve been put in. Curse of Jaysis on the FAI and govt for putting them in it.

"my decision is based purely on my personal belief that killing of innocent people is wrong" I mean, if you're a teammate reading that, you should feel embarrassed. Tis that simple. No "complicated matter", no "difficult situation", no getting into all the issues, just one simple point.

The respect I have for Gavin Bazunu is immense. 24 years old with his career ahead of him and he made a decision that every other person in safer positions of power above him failed to have the courage to make themselves. A true representative of Irish people everywhere

Just to say what complete scumbags the FAI and Micheál Martin are for putting Irish players in this position.
Tweet from Daniel Lambert, September 26th: Hearing from several sources around Ireland hotel that agents are telling players you must play our you'll never play for a US owned team in the UK.

How grim and predictable from faceless agents who profit in the background.

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

We get overwhelmed by the supreme vicious evil of the likes of Smotrich and Ben Gvir or the settlers who travel village to village looking for Palestinians to murder but it’s worth remembering that this cunt stands over it all and should be canonised as one of the most evil monsters in human history

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
