Thought it was a strange name myself, if not somewhat militaristic. Are there 2nd and 3rd Shankill NISCs?

1st Newry
1st Royal, Cookstown
1st Scotland
Non members of HM Armed Forces and paramilitary organisations are more than welcome.
Not an unusual concept - eg, Dublin No 1 & Lurgan No 1 CSC.
It simply refers to the first SC in the town/area.
What?Quote:

The boys brigade (a church group thing) use the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc notation too. I assume the girls brigade do the same.
NI Supporters Club, Shankill Branch is evidently ambiguous as there are 3 official clubs in the shankill area (1st Shankill and then 2 Woodvale clubs), not to mention there are probably other unofficial ones too.
That being said, I don't think there are any "2nd" clubs as clubs would tend to just choose a different name if they are from the same area (ie North Coast SC and Coleraine SC).
Don't forget 1st Far East! :DQuote:

Maybe you think so, which I can't help, but to the unitiated like me it all sounds very, eh, regimental. Just voicing my instinctive opinion. NB has shed useful light on it for me though, which I appreciate, but it still all sounds a bit militaristic to me. I'm not saying that you need to be a soldier or even a paramilitary to be a member, but the nomenclature is just a bit odd. Maybe ROI SCs have the same, but if they did I'd find it equally distatsteful.Quote:

is that cox lasd not in the sqaud ?Stokes and players like him sicken me to the core, they are always half arsed and pathetic
Stokes will never be good enough to play for Ireland. No loss.
Bit of a squad update here.
Looks like Cox and Andrews will play, and Best could yet join up with the squad. Stoke contingent could miss out against NI since they don't arrive in Dublin tomorrow. If so, possible team?:
Given
Foley
Delaney
Dunne
Kelly/McShane
Lawrence
Andrews
McCarthy
Hunt
Cox
Keane
Total guess, especially since a few squad members (Fahey, Hunt, Foley, Ward, McCarthy) played a very heavy 90 minutes just yesterday. Wouldn't surprise me he left those guys out in favour of others.
I'd say Treacy is more likely to start on the left, having been off for longer.
That squad is a LOT stronger than ours and anything other than a win by at least 3 clear goals will end up as a poor result for you.
Couldn't agree less. Anything less than a double digit victory for us would be a poor result.Quote:

what about northern ireland supporters Shankhill brigade stutts?
Is that EGs banner, i have to say its a good one liner, give him credit where its due.
It does just show how silly he is though and that he needs to create these banners to massage his inferiority complex, or as he sees it superiority complex.
I remember folk saying this tournament would be brilliant. Fans, atmosphere and games that matter because of the passion involved because your playing your rivals/neighbours. Instead it has been an absolute disaster. **** up after **** up.
48 Northern Ireland fans?!
Be fair. It's reached the dizzy heights of c.200 for tonight.
And it is an :rolleyes: 'official boycott'.
