No abuse. It will be deleted...No defamation. Ditto.

'Our purportedly "local" broadcasters set aside a full week of news time to cover the foul-mouthed outbursts and bad-tempered brawlings of one of Cork’s travelling community. Roy Keane’s departure from the Republic’s camp... In all fairness being a psychotic gipsy can be a serious problem for a person. Roy was also probably concerned about his family. I’m told it’s been a tough few years for itinerant driveway tarmaccers. Of course the most shocking thing about the Keane affair was the reaction of those fun-loving scamps, the beggar supporters...Not entirely surprising that they supported an abusive and violent scumbag when you consider we’re talking about a country where dishonesty and casual criminality are often viewed as endearing national quirks...After one of the most incompetent displays of penalty kick taking caught on camera, the Spanish went through, to the relief of every fair-minded observer. The Republic and their fans were on the plane home with only their self-delusion and whatever they’d stolen from their Asian hosts to bring with them.'

Not the words of a lone poster but part of the editorial of Ourweecountry.co.uk

It's interesting to compare the words on that article with those of yours and, in particular, Davros. Two sides of the same coin. Personally, I think the article is ****e and I'd either have it edited or removed, just as I would a fair proportion of yours and Davros' comments removed. On this point, just as before, I'd disagree with DG, I think that on both Foot.ie and OWC there is too much stupid stereotyping of NI and RoI supporters.

davros, talk about pompous all you want, but your continual insulting of anyone using OWC, calling them bigots and little minds is pompous to say the least, bigoted at worst. I have nothing against ROI fans, catholics blah blah blah but you have pigeon holed me based on the fact i am Northern Irish and support a national football team.

You must have a small mind as you keep mentioning proddy bigotry etc. You dont seem to realise that there is ******* from all communities.

So fookin what - worse was written about Keane on threads here, and certainly as bad is regularly written about Dubs...

Not checked the rest of the site, but that isn't sectarian IMO, just a rant against footballing rivals...

The difference is whether or not it's a legitimate medium of Free speech.My views are representative of myself,which realistically will cause less offence;On OHB,is an ' editorial' by the site' moderator'!!

Editorials are not signed, the article by Owen is. It is his point of view.

Why you should want to mirror an article that you object to so strongly is beyond me. In any case, IMO both you and Lopez go well beyond what is written in the article by Owen. Without going through your posts, your 'integrate or fcuk off' line was paricularly offensive.

...Reason this should be slagged,is apart from a personal view,an integral part of this site,as posted by their'Moderator'(By cf.,even IP may be a liberal?!)& their Intent to cause offence,which is worthy of note/censure?

The reason this is being slagged is that it makes a mockery of DG's b*llocks about the site not being abusive or defamotary.

Has anyone said that this site is free of abuse? Aren't the views of you, me, Davros and the research girl open to counterattack? Does this site have any article, approved by the moderators, calling NI fans thieves? BTW abuse of travellers is unlawfull in the Republic under the 1989 Prohibition on Incitement to Hatred Act.
