💙 Happy 40th Birthday Kevin Thomson. Joined #Rangers from Hibs for £2m in 2007. Over 3yrs he played 109 games and scored 3, with his debut goal in an Old Firm win. Helped us win consecutive League Titles, 2 League Cups & 1 Scottish Cup, aswell as reaching the UEFA Cup Final.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike Again, the British army not once ever admitting they ‘never defeated the IRA’. They got blown to bits by the undefeated British S.A.S you thick republican cunt. Still running protection rackets on the border because they are too scared to go into a city they died ‘fighting for’
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike The IRA’s hilarious tenure fizzled out in 2007 with a coffee cup bomb intended for a chemist in South Belfast, malfunctioning and killing 2 dumb Provos. Think of that. Their legacy ended by blowing themselves up and continuing to live in Ulster under British Rule.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike The RUC were a preserved British police force. They were never once recognised as a ‘security force’. Add that to the growing list of bullshit you’ve spouted and I’m getting bored of correcting you. The IRA Got wiped out and were never this dominant juggernaut you claim.
@spectrummember@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike The article you've shown specifically says "security forces", the RUC as a police service are part of that.
I did provide you with a source, its right there under what I said, there's also multiple other media outlets which state the same thing.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike The British Army adapting to the IRA? Are you genuinely brain dead? 😂. The British had state of the art drone technology, high level intel, wiping out the likes of Al-Qaeda but aye the IRA had them worried 😂. Genuinely too thick to insult
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike You’re just repeating exactly what i said 😂.
What are you actually talking about you’re just making stuff up. Not once did the IRA ‘call several ceasefires’ what do you mean? The IRA becoming ‘more dependent’ yet have the biggest friendly fire death toll in terrorist history
@spectrummember@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike Most, if not everything you've been saying is factually incorrect. Yes, they did. If there wasn't any negotiations then why would the IRA call several ceasefires while the negotiations were ongoing. The only sliver of truth here is that the IRA were becoming more dependent....
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike To put that into perspective and to add ever more misery to your false statements. For every death at the hands of the IRA during the troubles, Britain claimed the lives of 7 Provos. 7 to 1. In a country with 50 million more People. I’d say it safe to say they got obliterated.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike Where have you pulled these figures from because the IRA cowards gained more casualties from friendly fire bomb making than they ever could of wished on British forces. Over 60 million people in Britain and the IRA still managed to die to half the population count.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike In Layman’s terms the British gave the provos and the GFA an option of 1. Surrendering or 2. Suffering more needless onslaught only to see Ulster remain under British rule. You seeing that as anything other than a monumental embarrassment is genuinely fascinating
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike Forced Irish republicans into a roadblock. Given that the troubles went on for roughly 5 decades, the British had much bigger fish to fry. Countless conflicts in the Middle East etc. the IRA were at the very bottom of the list of worries. They got dealt with accordingly.
@RandomIrishGuy4@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike Quite eager more than any other lie you told to see where the source of ‘the British army specially saying they failed to defeat the IRA’ derives from.
@spectrummember@Ineedtime8@Miners_Strike 1. You're mixing events up here, only 3 Provos died as a result of Op. Flavius.
2. The British Army themselves specifically said they failed to defeat the IRA.
3. I suspect you're thinking of the Loughall ambush when you mentioned Op. Flavius and even then only 8 Provos died.
