Back to football :

Who hit the net ?
Where was the goalkeeper ?
Who laced the strikers boots ?
Pasta diet ?
The trainer was an Italian ?

This one is gonna run to a spaghetti western.

THis isn't an "either or" siuation. From the article : Although The Striker has a long-standing association with the Provisional IRA, his current connections to the Real IRA have now confused theories about who was behind the December bank raid." All this article does is to help confirm that republican terrorists were involved.

It makes a hell of a difference.

No offenc e Shay, but it only makes a difference to those trying to avoid putting the blame for this mess where it belongs, with SF and the IRA.

If the Real IRA is behind this it makes a "hell" of a difference, and yes your last post was both offensive and unjustified.

The Striker, jesus this is getting surreal.

Notice to PSNI, buy the newspapers this week and look out for a white van for sale.

No offence was intended. As the article points out he's known to have worked for both PIRA and RIRA.

Apparently, the Northern job is now the evidence that it was indeed the IRA which carried out the Castlereagh break-in.

In today's Times:

"Bobby Storey, the IRA head of intelligence, is believed to be the main planner behind the robberies. He also masterminded a break-in at Special Branch headquarters in Castlereagh where clues to the location of police informants and concealed listening devices were uncovered. This helped the IRA to avoid detection."

Well that's that sorted then. At that's one mystery solved.

Hope Liam Clarke realises that although Bobby looks like an enormous lummox he is quite a sensitive guy and gets upset by these types of things.

Does the Striker story not read like a synopsis of a horrible hollywood movie - I wouldn't be surprised if the author is punting it around.

In a few years the movie will be out.

Please spare us.

1 nil to Celtic at Parkhead does anyone know where the Striker is, Rangers need him asap.

Storey can't be that sensitive, has anyone heard any suggestions that he's going to sue ?

has anyone heard any suggestions that he's going to sue ?

Recognise a British Court and trust British justice ?

He has been convicted on IRA charges, chances of successfully sueing in those circumstances are zilch.

Davros,

re your 12:01 PM post.
Hasn't he also been known to have worked for the British Government ? :)

It's all just more crap newspaper talk. Until there are specifics - who knows ?

LOL ! Nice one Abucs!

The Striker, who was once in the British Army, has written a book about his escapades in Crotia, which has attracted attention from the film world;

". Recently, the Irishman published on the Internet the details of his interesting biography entitled "Millennium Memory." The manuscript also contains the details of the war operations and companionship with Gotovina. Cascarino's fascinating biography has attracted the interest of film makers amongst which is the famous film director Neil Jordan. Director of Dublin's M3M Media company Fergus Mac Oireachtaigh confirmed that he had read the manuscript and was in negotiations in relation to the electronic rights. "A true heroic and phenomenal story, concerning true heroic and phenomenal men." "Ireland will be proud,"
Mac Oireachtaigh said for Globus.

No doubt Mac Oireachtaigh will be rushing to snap up the film rights to his next book - title as yet undecided;
