It seems Tony Blair once had a plan of getting Northern Ireland into the Premier League when Wimbledon were looking at relocating

Madman, dead behind the eyes, he and his family have become wealthy in the extreme on the back of his time in power, one wonders what would have been in it for him had this move gone ahead.

The article doesn’t mention the constant rumour of Wimbledon moving to Dublin which started in 1996 and which rumbled on until Wimbledon were relegated in 2000. I’d imagine that any support for Wimbledon moving to Belfast would have been offered as an attempt of avoiding them/a PL club moving to Dublin.

Yeah, boo to peace and all that stuff.

A whole generation of folk in Northern Ireland have had a much better life thanks to the GFA, which really was the only possible solution to the problems over there.

The fact that the arseholes on both side of the divide are still bickering shows it wasn't a panacea, but it has done a lot of good. The Brexit clownshoe brigade have done their best to mess it up, but hopefully, the peace will hold despite their shenanigans.

Blair has a lot of things to answer for, but allowing a generation to grow up in more peaceful circumstances isn't one of them.

That's no way to talk about out soldiers.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

If you had some of your best mates killed out there, and had to endure all the excrement, riots, gun fights, and abuse that I got during my 3 tours of duty there, then I think you might think differently.

I don't find that at all funny, seeing as I was one of those soldiers who did several tours out there and lost good friends to those murdering scum.
