Galway United FC and free speech.

Has some interesting political thoughts so he does.

He has this flag he made out of four smaller flags aswell, two Lazio and two Hellas Verona.

I'm telling you we could have a proper Battle Of Cable Street type bit of banter next year.

Perhaps someone should have asked out friend from Galway if he could recite the 8th

Many years ago in Cork one Saturday morning a guy was standing near Castle Street giving a big speech about Palestine & Israel & handing out leaflets.
When after about 10 minutes he realised that no one was taking any notice of him he picked up his placard & wandered off somewhere else.

I would suggest that nearly everything about Derry City fc is political, to attempt to make them "non-political" would make the club meaningless? Maybe it is heading in that direction, as one of the big problems for LoI clubs in general is a lack of identity. In contrast the fact that Darron Gibson and Eunan O Kane did not make the squad for the euros was remarked on prominently in the Unionist media, so they have no problem in stating their views and sticking it to the two Irish lads.

the workers (and non workers) collective forum here in the Free Republic of Bohemia (previously known as Dalymount) have held a meeting (or gathering if you like) to consider the situation. the outcome was 87% voting to boycott EDP for the shocking deprivation of basic free speech, 96% voting to have a bucket collection for something/somebody and 79% voting to fully endorse the 'equality' message. any 'equality' message. 100% felt a new Bohs flag highlighting the issue/plight was urgently needed

.....the meeting was forced to conclude without agreement on a strategy going forward as the barman called last orders (or as they are known here last opportunity to trade cash and bar products).

Ah crap. I though it was cool to support controversial topics. I will put away the banner "Roll Out Broadband In South Connemara" that I was going to bring to our next home game.
