You would argue black was white Dortie. You have been twisting on Forums for as long as I can remember. Dry your eyes and get on with life!

He was saying that it's a loyalist bar which is 100% true! Of course there was going to be hardly anyone in it on a schoolnight!

I heard Mr Curry and some lady being interviewed on radio Foyle while on my way to work the morning after. The interview was obviously pre-recorded from the night before as it was 6 am.

The lady said in a confrontational manner understanding that this was radio folye; "This is a loyalist bar and will always be a loyalist bar and they'll never put us out." She didn't say protestant bar, she said loyalist. Therefore, it's a self proclaimed loyalist bar.

OK that's all right then some lady said so then it must be true.

No offence lads - but I'll take note of the view of the numerous City fans who were in the Bar along with Bohs fans last week well before I'll take note of the view of a couple of City fans who've never been to the place, yet claim to know all about it, and are rather blinkered in their views.

Northern Ireland is changing. Keep up, or hang back in the 1690's along with that aul' geriatric you've mentioned who was interviewed on Radio Foyle....

[OneRedArmy]

Lads why don't you take it to PM. I think both sides views are clear at this stage.

[Bucky-O'Hare]

Listen Im from Derry and I don't talk rubbish for the sake of it. I'm being argued with by someone from Limerick and some ex-pat who thinks he's DCFC's public representative on foot.ie. The boh's and Derry supporters who went to the bar were there for a PR excercise and fair play to them. I personally don't care about the fact that it's a loyalist bar but you's are denying that it is which simply isn't true. I've said enough on this thread now.

Football pub louts lose their appeal

Two of the four football supporters jailed last month when they admitted their involvement in disturbances at a bar in Derry failed yesterday in their appeal against sentencing.

Affirming the sentence imposed at the lower court by Resident Magistrate Barney McElholm on October 10, Judge Philip Babington yesterday described the appellants' actions as "deliberate and cowardly".

Dubliners Evan Kane, (20), from Upper Dorset Street and Gavin James Hanly, (22), a security company employee from McKee Park, were jailed for three months along with co-defendants Francis O'Reilly, (29), a local authority employee from Clonturk Park and Brian Shannon, (20), of Ventry Drive, Cabra.

All four admitted charges of riotous behaviour at the Tavern Bar, in the Loyalist Fountain Estate on October 9.

O'Reilly and Shannon decided not to appeal against the sentence and they're currently serving their sentences in prison.

All four had travelled to Derry for the League Cup final between Derry City and Bohemians. At the appeal hearing yesterday, defence barrister Gordon Talbot said the appellants Hanly and Kane, both of whom had clear criminal records, deeply regretted their actions.

Dismissing the appeal, Judge Babington said the appellants had caused several thousand pounds of criminal damage during an attack in which three people were injured and "must realise you just can't damage a public house in this way".

Hanly was then imprisoned in Maghaberry Prison and Kane placed in Hydebank Young Offender's Centre.

Surprising to have a 20 year old in young offenders centre? What kind of prison is Maghaberry? What would be the equivalent down here?

Surprised they still in prison. If something similar had happened in the Republic they would be released long ago.

So their Apopeal has back-fired. At least they didn't jump bail.

I don't know if they'll get half the scentence remitted or not, but they could be inside for Christmas now.

50% remission so they'll be out before Christmas....
