@ModestoSilo I was there once with my Dad when I was 8. We won 5-0 that day in late 1969. Don't know if that was the last one. Probably not.

I was at the last ever Distillery v Glentoran game at Grosvenor Park. One of my favourite grounds. My late friend Mr. Dundela Mervyn Bell, told me he could see into the ground from his back window in Excise Street. Great memories of Grosvenor. Always a great crowd and atmosphere

@timcairns @sylvesterhakin @Saraita101 To be fair Tim, Sara is playing a role here.

@Saraita101 I don’t think unionism has been getting exercised by shopping bags they have pointed out hypocrisy, especially when the nationalists liberal elite got desperately exercised over a box that Sainsbury’s fruit was delivered in! Just a glimpse to the future!

Unionism decries the south belfast liberal but has spent the past few days getting exercised about m&s shopping bags and university politics

@Saraita101 "Unionism" has?

@belfastDGM @timmckane Exactly David. Its what politicians do the world over . Its never been any different.

@timmckane There’s not a country in the world where politicians don’t celebrate the success of one of their own. Have a day off from your divisive nonsense.

Has there ever been a bandwagon so big that local politicians jump on as Rory? All trying to get some credit for hopping on and praising him. He did it himself. He’s apolitical (which takes some doing).

@Choyaa13 @News_Letter Thanks very much pal.

@News_Letter Many congratulations, @Cheesewright3 this looks like an interesting read.

@irish_lassie27 That's what we're thinking about.

@Cheesewright3 If you can afford it come down the night before and stay in airport hotel

We've got a very early flight from Dublin Airport early nnext week. Can any of my ROI based friends here give me a heads up on what imoact the road blockages are having on travel from the border (from Newry) to the airport? Thanks

@stephen85906348 @News_Letter Cheers thanks Stephen 👍

@News_Letter @Cheesewright3 Ian one of the good guys and I say this as a blueman😂

@stretchthehand "You people"?? What a bigoted halfwit. 😂😂

@Cheesewright3 Lol,Brian Feeney is absolutely brilliant,tells it as it is.Has you people down to a T. Do you know what the problem is with you lot….

What's worse? Feeney's constant ramblings or the fact the Irish News constantly advertises him in a way that suggests they think he's a key asset.

@loughers2 @XMartinsMusicX First band I ever saw live. Brilliant

@XMartinsMusicX Lee on the marching powder ….😂

@EamonDelaney10 @thedissenter Every week Eamon. Surely the Irish News management understand that a weekly reiteration of how he doesn't like the other side just isn't enough.

@Cheesewright3 @thedissenter Exactly, Ian. Both of those things. He's such a boring broken record. Same column every week

Since 2000, Rangers have played a team 3 times away in one season on 12 occasions. Celtic have played a team 3x away 4 times, none in the last 11 years, and none against Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen ever.

@stephenblevins9 @NISchoolsFA @NIStats I see Marcus Kane, Calum Birney, John McGuigan and I think Marty Murray in them.

Found these interesting old @NISchoolsFA photos today taken during my term as chair. Under 18s 2010 and 2011. You’ll recognise a few faces here @NIStats

@stephen85906348 @irish_news The Reds are where the Blues used to be - a club rightly or wrongly seen as representing one of our 2 communities here. That's why they attract lowlifes to big matches. Their core support are not a problem and Solitude is a safe venue where its okay to go into the social club.

@irish_news The genuine Cliftonville fans are not the problem and never have been .All clubs have scrotes hanging on to them in big matches

Edwin Poots says residents ‘may have to block road’ to stop Cliftonville fans getting to Windsor Park irishnews.com/news/northern-…

@JeffDudgeon thing, totally missing the fact that the vast majority of the Catholic community either did not support or resolutely opposed the IRA/SF during those years. A middle class element with no experience of the old Stormont or of the UVF, etc. Yet their minds have been poisoned (2/2)

@JeffDudgeon I've been saying for years that there's a small element in the immediate post Troubles generation that resented "missing out" on our experiences. A generation or 2 later its almost an epidemic and there's something worryingly middle class about a lot of this "up the ra" (1/2)

Victimism has replaced class as a political force and dividing line, no more so than in Northern Ireland.

@stephen85906348 @BeatlemaniaUK 3 great choices Stephen. The Kids Are Alright by The Who would be pushing down my door .
