Well it is a Geordie song called The Blaydon Races, but we will have to differ about it being "amazing"

Ban posting while drinking!

Well when you say "baying mob", I was in the crowd which was largely made-up of regular people not looking for a fight, but showing our contempt for the Tommy Robinson fan club members...

Just home from the scene and I'd estimate that the EDL knuckle-dragger types were outnumbered about 500 to 1.

I can't help wondering why rubber bullets could be used on rioters in northern Ireland (which is supposed to be part of the UK) throwing bricks at the Police but aren't used on these EDL cretins? A brick hitting you on the head will damage a Policeman exactly the same in Yorkshire as Ulster...

Those EDL types are such a bunch of ignorant tw@ts...

They do realise that he's only 4ft 7ins don't they?

I really can't see us releasing Gilmour for the sort of money Napoli are talking about; an opening bid of £8 million? Not even double that would be worth our while taking as Gilmour must be poised for his peak Albion season.

The contrast between this hurling final and the large number of tedious Euros matches I recently sat through was startling. It was literally non-stop action with the result in the balance up to the last second of extra time. And you have to remind yourself that these boys are amateurs playing...

On what planet does anyone where a linen suit over a nylon football shirt? And tucked-in? Bizzare. Nice shirt though... I was dreading something far worse

In the same way that Brits assimilate to Spanish "beliefs"?

A definite new song for us to the tune of March of the Mods.... "Brighton Brighton Brighton Brighton Brighton Brighton And Hove Albion"

Sorry, did I say something wrong? Annexation: in international law, is the forcible acquisition and assertion of legal title over one state's territory by another state, usually following military occupation of the territory

Errr... no it isn't. The national anthem of the Republic of Ireland is Anhran na bhFiann (Soldier's Song). The "proddies in the north" play for a united Irish rugby team which has adopted Ireland's Call as it's anthem, though Anhran na bhFiann is also played for matches in Dublin. I presume...

I would agree, but boycotting The Great Escape and Latitude is not holding big business to account; Barclays and Israel won't give a monkeys whether the Lambrini Girls play a gig in Brighton, but the festival organisers and punters are screwed.
