Aye,gives SF new TDs great cover politically too,as any time they fcuk up,cullinane will be wheeled out to distract and set off outrage culture among those who would never vote SF


The man apoligised,so he cant,nor should he do anymore to appease irrational people,who cant accept that.....

It was interesting that when Cullinane was forced to give a half assed apology for the sake of PR - he used exactly the similar phrase Gerry Adams used back in the 80's.

"I've never distanced myself from the IRA"

They are well trained in phraseology, I will give them that.

The lad apoligised for any offence caused....kinda hard to expect more from anyone imo



Like it would be wrong to expect someone to deny their beliefs imo,noone has to agree with them,but everyone is entitled to their's (even those who favour target the poorest fiscal policies,i inherently disagree with em,but respect their worldview)..

...the world is a big scary place and not everyone is gonna agree on everything all the time,and thats ok too

I dunno he was clearly playing to the 'in' crowd. When Culinane was found out. He denied he said it - first did not realise he was filmed. It was only when it was pointed out he was filmed did he admit it first off.

If he was so proud of his beliefs why deny it at the start? Also he was never in 'active service' it seemed to me he just wanted to be vicariously part of the gang/club.

What are you even on about?

So once a person has beliefs they are OK to continue?

Racists have their beliefs. They can offend but once they apologise that's grand according to you.

Sure continue.

As you were.

Leo has beliefs, doesn't stop you ranting every day about him.

You are more confused than Scooby Doo.

I have little intention of speaking for anyone else so may have to ask him.such qs...


You may be right in your assestment,given it was in mansion house at 2am anything is possible :pac:


Quite how he didnt know he was filmed is beyond me,as i seen several snapchats from that night,even in the video on irish times there was several people recording it?

Id love to see a poll conducted here to see if he damaged him long term,as he was unreal popular......its one city where they seem to have turned it around after diastorus council elections of few years ago....be interesting to see,if it stalled them on ground

Yes,people are entitled to their racist beliefs (obv not ideal like),but im not the taught-police...ive no interest in telling people how to think??

(Like ive no interest in telling likes of arlene foster,how to think etc,once they arent offending people and willing to be civil,what more can you reasonably expect?)


Name 1 occasion,where i have ever ranted about leo,wasnt me brah.....seems to me,only person confused here is you

SF online supporters group urges members not to share news articles to prevent media from making money from clicks. Instead they should copy content from the articles and distribute for free.

A nasty way for SF supporters to give the big bad media a kicking when they are already on the floor.

Interesting that SF claimed it had nothing to do with the online group yet the group immediately changed one of it's rules when told to do so by SF HQ.

Oh, I am sure that he knew he had been filmed, he just expected the normal Sinn Fein omerta to protect him. On this occasion, it didn't.

SF core online support have much in common with Reddit and 4chan groups of the alt-right and support for Trump.

The parallels are so obvious.

It sure is. 90% of the posts in here are from shinners. They seem rightly rattled. What a mess they have made of things since they ‘won’ the election!

I think that shows how little you know about SF. You keep doing the trump thing though.

anytime i pop in its the same rubbish. Get over it lads, SF are now contenders.

Must be hard on all those who keep telling us every year that the SF vote is reducing. Probably explains the handbags and bitching.

Makes for a very boring thread though.

Most of the top posters are from a republican persuasion. So if you are seeing that type of thread, it must be the vast majority of individual posters with small numbers of posts being critical of Sinn Fein and then being overwhelmed by a repetitive blocking opinion by the same republican posters.

One republican poster alone has over 12% of the posts on this thread.

There are similarities to your viewpoint to Ron Akinson's views that he 'over apologised'. For calling Marcel Desailly (a black football player) "a lazy fúcking nígger". He like Cullinane did not realise that those outside his circle would hear what was said.

Going back to the recent Mary Lou interview on the Late Late. She fared well on her discussion about covid19. It humanised her as a politician. Mary Lou even gave the caretaker government a back handed compliment about thier handling of the covid19. It was only the darker specter of republicanism that let her down. Trying to defend the indefensible and getting tied up in knots.

I believe she said her reaction to Cullinane was 'What are you at David?'. Which to me was code for don't let the mask slip outside our circle. We need to go mainstream and you could ruin it.

Interestingly at the time of the David Cullinane speech. A 'neutral observer' from PBP Boyd-Barrett described it as harmless 'Republican Nostalgia'.
I thought this was good phrase. As there are many who vote SF because of the background mystic of the 'armed struggle'. To be part of the 'gang'.

Cullinane is definitely a representative of a certain type of SF voter in that sense. It is the same nostalgic view Ron Akinson has of his use of certain type of language and even views himself as one who gave blacks 'a chance' because he signed black players.

Yeah, people are sick of getting ridden left right and center by ff and fg therefore they are alt-right.

What a statement.
