Around me here we have little mining villages (like say 2000 people) and every one is either a Rangers or Celtic town and i mean noone in said town supports anyone else. I drive through one now i will see Union Jacks in windows, UVF graffiti and people wearing Rangers tops. Drive a mile up the road to the next wee place and its Tricolas, Up the RA graffiti and wee bams walking around in Septic tops

Great stuff. I like it.

In Hull we obviously don't have the religious rivalry you have but the rugby league rivalry between East Hull and West Hull is a huge rivalry.

I'm East Hull born and bread but I support the West Hull team because that's the tesm of my father.

So I've lived my all life amongst my rivals.

Anyone that's an adult that believes in slogans like "up the RA" should be sent to one of the ISIS strongholds for a month, see if they'd say that **** then.

What does Isis have to do with that?

My point being that these people would be far less inclined to be pro-terrorist if they had to spend time with an actual terrorist group.

And thankfully as the IRA are no more, the nearest punishment to them would be ISIS.

And back on topic, Mikael Forssell helped cement my support for the club when he was only a few goals off Henry & Shearer for the Golden Boot.

You have it the wrong way round. Isis believes in the caliphate; an invading force that wants to rule regions rather than countries. The English are closer to Isis when it comes to "the troubles."

Oh don't get me wrong I know that we have our own terrorist actions over the years.

I just don't understand any community that celebrates terrorism, and I don't think that I ever will.

If we were invaded by another country, we'd be doing exactly the same, and we're also supporting Ukraine doing exactly the same things now. Terrorism is an extremely selective descriptor.
