I don't want to just dunk on Bryant, who is new in post, but successive UK Govts have been profoundly complacent about the stability of NI even after several summers of rioting. That the Secretary of State is only coming to NI now is jaw dropping.

Don’t be at all surprised if Stormont collapses one way or another this week – SF because the present-day structures don’t serve the interest of nationalists; DUP because the First Minister participated in an unlawful protest gathering – and for another stalemate that last for *years*.

It’s illustrative that most of the leftist south is concerned with the Irish football team, while the north sits on a precipice. Can chew gum & clap at the same time and all that, indifference is also grand, but just don’t be cosplaying parts of the conflict here when it comes to election time 👍

On Sunday, July 12th 1998, Jason (aged 8), Mark (aged 9) and Richard Quinn (aged 10) were killed in their home in Ballmoney when it was petrol-bombed by Loyalists, rioting after the Drumcree parade was banned from travelling the Garvahy Road that year. 3 brutal sectarian murders.

Gavin Bazunu statement on withdrawing from Ireland squad

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them

a lot of chat about a 'Kaepernick moment' in the lead up to this. Sadly we have our Kaepnernick moment: a player being absolutely hung out to dry by his association and teammates.

🚨 BREAKING: Ireland have postponed their pre-match press conference and training session as players hold a meeting to discuss their next steps.

Up to five Ireland players reportedly DO NOT want to take part in the games against Israel, following reports that goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu said he did not wish to play.

HUGE doubts now surround whether the game will go ahead. 🇮🇪

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.
