I suppose all you people who are against them playing in Belgium have read the history behind the UVF???? Yes thats right they lost a lot of men in 1916 so they have every right to commemorate them anyway they want to

My advice to you Raysoul45, is to do some research on the UVF Regimental Band before casting such demeaning comments. This band bear the name and the Battle Honours of the 36th Ulster Division, which encompasses the Ulster Volunteer Force and Young Citizen Volunteers circa 1912-1919, during which years, Catholics served in the ranks! As for 'drug-dealing', are you perhaps an envoy for local Ulster gutter-rags who prefer to castigate the UVF to sell copies, or do you have verifiable evidence?

suppose they are playing for all the catholics who lost their lives there too.Yes a lot of men from the south died in the fields of ypres
