tony,

i'm mates with many people from both sides, some who goto NI games home and away , others who wont because off where they have grown up and would sit and watch an away game on tv and send me texts, congratulating the atmosphere and how they want to go on an away trip like i go on which is over 20 now which for a 24 yo aint bad. i was sitting in a bar in north belfast on new years day after coming from the east, to meet c'ville fans who where going to bangor(i'm a bangor fan) to watch the game,they spoke highly of NI and how things have changed in the north and how colours are being worn in areas which would never have been seen before, obv. you get the odd donkey like who has full hatefulness running through them, but thats on both sides, oh yeah sorry thats you.

grow up and catch a grip. my name and e-mail will be added if you want to have a yarn another time but keyboard warrior springs to mind

...(watch as Tony disappears of our radar and avoids answering, and in fact fails to post again until he has something else "Northern Ireland"-related to girn about...and will fail to address and subsequent reactions to his girning...it's a dead cert. )

As pointed out by mickey and has been done in all past related Northern Ireland articles Tony comes on here writes in his usual unrelated rubbish shows us how little he knows about football and the bigot for who he is.

Im sure he is hoping now that something happens the ''North of Ireland'' side as he will only call it because it causes him pain to actually call the country in which he lives its name at windsor on wed night so he can be straight on here on thursday making a fool of himself again.

Look foward from hearing from you Tony mate!

why are you all responding to this guy tony, he is only on here to wind you all up, do not give him the satisfaction of replying to him. he lives in the past, and is just bitter than Northern Ireland exists.

Lets get on with the real debate of football issues, like who is going to partner Healy on Wed night ?

Posted by M Young | 09.09.08, 09:40 GMT

Hi Tony, I know you hate the North of Ireland footy team - which is Ok - as there is no such team! Until you get over your bitterness and refer your own country's team by its proper name, maybe then you MIGHT be taken seriously.

Numerous awards for FFA have been achieved, including being recognised at the Metro Eireann Media and Multicultural Awards (MAMAs) in Dublin. Praise from the Scottish & Austrian police about our behaviour, yet Tony still lives in his little world of hate.
C'mon Tony, move into the future and leave your bitterness behind you. The future is bright.....it's green and white!!!

Billy this was not the case kyle L was out with a back problem picked up in traning is why it was one man up front

Posted by Andrew | 08.09.08, 19:28 GMT

Hopfully we are not going back to the bad old days of Sammy Mac, One man up front and no goals for two years. Come on Nigel if its not broken don't try to fix it. Rem. Sweden and Denmark

Posted by billy | 08.09.08, 18:55 GMT

ok, Tone ... last chance, here's the cryptic clue :-
"Martin O'Neill captained this international team (8,7)"
C'mon mate, help me out and the crossword's complete ... you'll feel a warm glow inside, I promise.

Tony Fearon spends more time thinking about Northern Ireland than Nigel worthington does good man Tony we all know your sneeking into windsor with your fake moustache on, You love NI More than me, LMAO

Posted by YouKnowYouLoveNI | 08.09.08, 18:16 GMT

As ive said time and time again and see that im not the only one who here to notice this Tony Fearon hasn't a clue when it comes to football as soon as he sees Northern Ireland printed he's straight on to write in rubbish with his political and bigoted views which have no relation to Northern Ireland FC.

As mickey has pointed out about your term 'north of ireland' it is rather satisfying knowing the how unhappy you are with the entity and the term Northern Ireland.

Posted by Andrew | 08.09.08, 17:31 GMT

Tony here we go again with your political rubbish you write in here when you see any article relating to Northern Ireland , the fans or their players!

What is it you are trying to suggest tony, that fans should not bring flags of thier own country to an international game???

I thought you would have learned from past experinces of you writting rubbish in here and becomming the laughing stock and BT publish your comments for entertainment levels

all your comments show is the true bigot you are!

Posted by matt | 08.09.08, 17:09 GMT

Neill C, on the contrary!! Can't you see how amusing Tony's posts are? I've read his rants on a host of forums and printed publications. Every time I read one it fills me with a warm glow. That there is someone so utterly sad out there who has so little going on in his life that he has to resort to frequently trying to destablise the integrity of ANYTHING to do with "Northern Ireland". Any time you read his comments, just think of an aging, slightly rotund individual, who sits at his computer ALL day, in his socks and underpants, pushing his bottle-neck glasses back up the bridge of his nose every ten seconds in between scratching his nether-regions.

His use of the term "North of Ireland" only serves to illustrate the pain he feels that both the entity and the term "Northern Ireland" actually exist. Every time he uses "North of Ireland" or tries to run us down, just think how much pain and bitterness there exists in poor Tony's mind.

It's rather satisfying.

''North of Ireland games??'' that reeks of political statement, tony your going to have to deal with the fact that more and more catholics are supporting Northern Ireland and the football for all campaign run by the IFA has made a difference. The fact that this is an article about football and once again you reduced it to your political agenda. like i said if you don't like Northern Ireland then stick to The Republic of Ireland-where they fly political flags you are happy with- but stop boring us with your unrelenting bitter rants.

Posted by Neill C | 08.09.08, 16:37 GMT

Only in your tiny mind are they political Tony. Most people, FIFA, UEFA, NI fans, fans of other countries etc etc do not seem to be girning about flags etc the way you do. Ever considered that you may be in a miniscule minority of plaintiffs?

Anyway, I believe I asked (and you failed to answer)....what would you suggest to the Sports Council/ Community Relations Council, should be used instead? You have ideas presumably, no?

...(watch as Tony disappears of our radar and avoids answering, and in fact fails to post again until he has something else "Northern Ireland"-related to girn about...and will fail to address and subsequent reactions to his girning...it's a dead cert. )

PS, I'll tell my mate is does not hail from my "community" that Tony Fearon says he is not welcome at NI matches ;-)

Painting a fence would burn up a fair few calories, I'd reckon. I'm no fitness consultant but, in my amateur opinion, painting more fences and spending less time on a computer could do wonders for a man's physique.

Posted by Pete | 08.09.08, 16:00 GMT

Tony - I hear you're a big fan of Pat Jennings, so I'd really appreciate your help with this crossword clue I'm stuck on.
"Pat Jennings made 119 appearances for this international football team (8,7)".
Can you help me find the two words to fit?
Many thanks, Tony.

Posted by Pete | 08.09.08, 15:37 GMT

so a unionist flag is sectarian then maybe you shouold get on to the sports council for the sectarian flags at ROI home games? or Cliftonville home games? double standards again from you tony. funny how quickly your posts turn from football related to politics. i wonder what colours you were painting your fence. you are stuck in the dark ages.

Posted by Steve C | 08.09.08, 15:32 GMT

If you could Tony, what would you suggest to the Sports Council/ Community Relations Council, should be used instead? You have ideas presumably, no?

Posted by mickey | 08.09.08, 15:31 GMT

2-1 against Georgia? we put four past them, thats probably why we are so high in the rankings tone!
Tony if all those so called secterain symbols were removed you still wouldnt support Northern Ireland. Your constant political comments are what's wrong with this country, if you don't like Northern Ireland then stop talking about them.

regards to the match long way to go sunshine...

Posted by Neill C | 08.09.08, 15:24 GMT

Tony fearon i bet when you heard the result on the Northern Ireland match you couldn't wait to get on here to write in you rubbish of which you do on a regular basis!

I see you still havnt got out any atlas and educatated yourself that the country which u continue to refer to as north of ireland does not exist and is just what you like to call it yourself because you arnt happy that the area you live in is part of the Uk and has the border and the queen!
