Croke Park - History - BBC

BBC's prematch build-up to the ireland v france in the 2007 six nations included this, a history of Croke Park. In my opinion it is done pretty well.

@RichardElden Martin McGuinness ordered the killings of lots of loyalists, i admire him

[SoCDublin16]

@RichardElden Don't find it funny, some might. He's 6'5" so what?

[SoCDublin16]

@RichardElden I cant wait for Ian Paisley to die. i'll be having a nice pint of guiness while doing the riverdance to celebrate. freedom is lovely, you're country is run by a family of inbreds, mine is just run by idiots.

[SoCDublin16]

@RichardElden so glad the IRA bombed all the loyalists like you and don't try the usual they killed innocent people as well shite on me

[SoCDublin16]

@RichardElden i'm pretty sure rape and pillage doesn't come under upholding law and order. you don't know anything about them.

[SoCDublin16]

@RichardElden heroes? would you call every rapist and murderers in prisons heroes? no difference

[DiarmaidGNR]

@thosewerehappydays before you start going deeper into untrues,the black n tans WERE the british army they were signed up ,they were criminals/scum from britain but they were a part of the british army, and please dont lecture anyone on the fact that the british army saved irishmen,look at the real fact,the british army killed irishmen, the fact they killed 1 man is wrong,because they should never have been here anyway .

[thosewerehappydays]

@Larry2me IM simply stating a fact. The IRA have never held a majority of votes in Ireland or Northern Ireland. Not at any time. Especially if you write of the Free Staters. As for the Black and Tan thing, just as long as you recognise that it wasnt the British Army. Thats the point im making. Indeed the British Army saved many an Irish man from the Black and Tans.

[Larry2me]

@thosewerehappydays That could be debated, but that would for another day. It still doesn't make the FS the IRA! The FS never claimed to be the IRA so why are you making this claim? This argument has gone on too long. The facts remain; It was British agents that the IRA killed that morning(ACT OF WAR), and Irish civilians that the Tans (not the RIC) murdered in Croke Park(WAR CRIME)...
