Maze stadium plan 'will proceed'

[gspain]

It seems to me you "draw your perspective" from comparing the GAA with the Orange Order.

What has the OO got to do with the proposed new Stadium for the Maze (or NI soccer generally)?

To borrow your own phrase, that is "one lopsided fecked up" line of reasoning.

Actually the OO have a lot in common with the GAA. Both have featured together recently in a documentary regarding sectarian views and were featured jointly to promote both sides of the divide in the Smithsonian recently. I think the middle ground gets left out on these occasions

The OO also have issues with certain lodges honouring and promoting terroism.

were featured jointly to promote both sides of the divide in the Smithsonian recently.

Yes the exhibition is going on for a few months. However a friend of mine attended an event there a couple of weeks back that had the OO and the GAA representing opposite sides of the divide in Northern Ireland. There was also the tv programme that i mentioned
