Almost forgotten about this. Come on now. What football match was it taken at. In your own time.

This is all very well but you still haven't given any proof of the flag, (not a banner), meaning what you say it does, just some empty rhetoric about a defunct gang from Rathcoole, looking for deflection tactics will never take away the disgusting images beamed worldwide from your fellow feni@ns.
Your kind know very little about the communities in Belfast and how they operated, money was extorted from decent folk from their "own kind" and gangs were commonplace, it was indeed a war in these communities, but not in the sense you claim, many decent folk grew up in these areas and although they may have been members of loyalist (or republican) bands it doesn't mean they are sectarian scvm, the mere mention of the OO or loyalist on here sends you lot into a feeding frenzy as you try to outdo one another throwing insults about something you know nothing about, and you won't find your answers on phukin google either.
The folk of NI have moved on, sadly large sections of your fellow support seem desperate to drag it back to the "good old days".
what a crock of total codswallop............"rob by the fenians "???.....how many fenians are their in east belfast where no business can exist unless they cough up for the local loyalist gangsters.........they still poison their own children with their drug ****ing rackets......they always have been nothing but a cover for crininal gangsters,,18 years after the ceasefires they are still up to their balls in racketeering, drugs,robberies and extortion. And the dogs in the street know it !!
rolf the deviant talking about people's search history, bit like jack the ripper talking down about sweeney todd and dr crippen.
walloper won't comment on a catholic sevco player being the scapegoat for the 5-1 humiliation and then receiving vile sectarian abuse by a sevco player, so no chance she'll comment on sectarian behaviour from sevco fans in Ulcer.
Try reading what I actually wrote without squeezing your sphincter so tight you go blind.
Firstly the area in question is in Newtonabbey North Belfast, there are various interface areas, nowhere near East Belfast which is mainly Protestant with small Catholic population up the Short Strand.
The loyalist paramilitaries used to extort money from the business people in Newtonabbey under the pretense of "protection", if you didn't pay the feni@ns would come over from the New Lodge attack your premises or rob you, other areas of concern were the Antrim road and the Lower Shore road, it was the same in the republican areas, don't pay up and the Prods will come over and pay you a visit, extortion was the main income for both sides of the divide and they had a "working agreement".
The IRA were extremely professional in their racketeering, alcohol, cigarettes, fuel, cattle, bank robberies, drug dealing and money laundering were the tools of their trade, they used kids to run the drugs around the estates and kneecapped anyone who tried to tax their business, and I would agree that not a lot has changed today with both sets still dealing drugs, taxis, bootlegging, ect, you only have to look at the fall out in Dublin with the mobs shooting and stabbing one another in broad daylight on a regular basis.
The fact of the matter is crime paid the wages of the foot soldiers and when the project was finished they were left unemployed, so they are now self employed freelance criminals, the myth that "the cause" was a battle to force the Brits out was exactly that, the proceeds from criminal activities meant these people didn't care about peace, "the cause" for them was to make money causing misery for those they purported to protect.
