The term "Catholic" in the north is often interchanged with the word "nationalist" and can be used as another term to describe someone from the Irish nationalist community without necessarily possessing strict religious or theological connotations. I prefer to avoid the term myself as it feeds into the sectarian "two warring religious tribes" narrative of the "Troubles" and subsequent political tension, which is an insidiously false portrayal of Irish history, as far as I'm concerned, that seeks to relieve a very important third party, Britain, of its primary role and responsibility in the conflict.Quote:

The conflict was one between national identities over disputed territory, or the constitutional status of the north of Ireland, in other words. Britain, in defending, or asserting even, its colonial/imperial and economic interests, obviously played a massive primary role - throughout centuries of Irish history up until modern times - in contributing to the disagreement and violence. Religion became a sort of internal social marker, but sectarianism was secondary to the real roots of the conflict, which were political and national.
As I was saying above, I heard Laura Lacole on the radio in the middle of May discussing her and Eunan's plans for a humanist wedding. She described Eunan as having been from a Catholic family background, although I recall getting the distinct impression from her words that he wasn't particularly religious or devout himself and it seems he was fully open to a humanist "conversion" once she outlined her humanist outlook to him.
I suppose I'd consider my self a "cultural Catholic" (if I was going to apply such a label at all) even though I'm really an agnostic atheist in a philosophical sense. Also, if one is applying for a job in the north, they must submit an equality and diversity equal opportunities form along with their CV or application pack. In England, these forms list a number of ethnicities from which to choose in order to identify your ethnic or cultural heritage and look like the following:

In the north, you might sometimes find a similar section (which isn't a legal requirement, but is recommended by the Equality Commission) to the following on such forms:

But you'll also find the following in all cases, as it's a legal requirement:

I would tick the box corresponding with "I am a member of the Roman Catholic community" there. I know it's not really asking me if I believe in transubstantiation or if I go to Mass every week.
Danny your posts have gotten way to long man. Seriously almost every one is a novel. This is getting crazy.
I don't think there's a rule on length and I've got three images in there. Anyway, I'd been under the impression you were ignoring my posts seeing as you frequently avoid answering any questions I pose to you in replies... ;)Quote:

Signs a new four-year deal at Leeds. Hopefully that's a good sign and he becomes a more certain starter. Of course, with Leeds, they could have a new manager at any time - https://www.leedsunited.com/news/tea.../eunan-extends
Had a great game for Leeds today bossing midfield at the City Ground. Murphy did okay for Forest. Plenty of threat but lacked the finish.
This lad is a lovely baller anytime I've seen him. Deserves a proper go with the national team.
Eunan O'Kane hasn't been given a squad number at Leeds this season. Not in Marcelo Bielsa's plans it seems.
I hope he get a good move. very tidy player.
Maybe Marcelo doesn't believe in Humanists either? Maybe Eunan tried to explain that he is a deep-laying midfielder, rather than a deep-lying midfielder and therefore the difference between lying and laying in his Northern accent, and Marcelo thought he was too crazy? Although that seems a bit far-fetched seeing as Bielsa is as crazy as it gets.Quote:

Into L1 with Luton till January. Not good.

broke his tibia and fibula yesterday unfortunately. Hope he makes good recovery

Update on his progress. Training at Thorpe Arch. Needed further surgery. Back on the pitch in a couple of weeks. Hopes to get a move away in January. Curiously Leeds could use someone with a bit guile and subtlety on the ball but he hasn't a hope there. Big fan of Bielsa but he's a deeply pig headed man at times.
Rejoins Luton Town on an 18 month deal - https://www.lutontown.co.uk/news/202...okane-returns/
It's a strange one, both clubs have described it as an "arrangement", neither have called it a transfer, or a loan
Didn't even spot that.
Back on the pitch - https://www.the42.ie/eunan-okane-ret...78057-Aug2020/
