O’Toole’s New Republic – unfinished business or just a dream?
More as a trailer than a review – as it’s out on Thursday– I draw attention to Fintan O’Toole’s latest polemic “Enough is Enough – how to build a new Republic“. Fintan has been promoting the book vigorously on this side of the water, on Radio 4’s Start the Week and here at greater length [...] read our review »

Books: Listening to Van Morrison…
Great little review of Listening to Van Morrison by Griel Marcus… It’s a short book, not a biography or a career survey, but an attempt to follow those moments in Morrison’s music, as he’s made it from his first records with Them, from Belfast in 1965 to the present day, when something happens that breaks [...] read our review »

“And ultimately, in your bewildering denial of your birthplace, you’re the spiritual cousins of those Loyalist “I’m not Irish – I’m British!†saddoes who wear feckin England tops to prove their patriotic credentials – frankly, you’re welcome to each other. ”
No, we’re really not.
Nigels from history –
Who is more charismatic, Worthy or Nigel Mansell?
Nigel Martyn, journeyman goalkeeper.
Nigel Dodds (least said the better).
Nigel-la Lawson??
Past that I am struggling!
Nigel Havers- cad and smoothie
Nigel Hawthorne- Sir Humphrey or mad King George
Nigel Bruce- Basil Rathbone’s Watson
Nigel Benn- The dark Destroyer
… oh, and Nigel Kennedy, mad violinist
Nigel Planer, of Comic Strip / Young One’s fame.
Nigel Tufnel – Spinal Tap (yes I know it’s really Christopher Guest)
Nigel Reo Coker? (although god only knows how such a cool dude ended up with “Nigel”)
Good luck to Nigel Worthington.
A man who knows the pride and glory of reaching a major finals in the famous emerald green shirt of little Northern Ireland.
Together, we will succeed.
Onwards and Upwards.
1993, away to Manchester United at Old Trafford, the score at 1-1
Steve Bruce heads the ball from a corner towards goal that scares the defender on the line into moving out of the way, and Man Utd win the title 29 minutes or so into stoppage time
the man on the line was Nigel Worthington
bitter? moi?
good luck Northern Ireland, go Chris Brunt & Up The Owls!!
at least the new manager wasn’t Neil Warnock…
and Man Utd win the title 29 minutes or so into stoppage time
I made it 95 minutes (give or take ten minutes or so), the sight of Fergie and Brian Kidd dancing on the pitch will stay with me for a lifetime…
Yeah, I’m glad we didn’t end up with Warnock
Worthington on 23rd May (as quoted on BBC Sport):
“I’ve not applied for the job in any way, shape or form. Club management is my priority. At some stage I would love to manage Northern Ireland as to work for your country is a great source of pride.”
Worthington 9 days later:
“When your country comes knocking there can only be one answer.”
Hmm: had many knockbacks from club applications in the last week have we, Nigel?
Hopefully Nigel will condemn the many thousands of supporters who continue to shout loyalist slogans during the english anthem.
“Together, we will succeed.
Onwards and Upwards.”
Eh? Who are you talking to? Who is together?
Sounds like the start of a 1940s propoganda film.
Very unionist indeed.
“Eh? Who are you talking to? Who is together?”
Everyone who has the best interests of the Northern Ireland football team at heart, of course.
What a strange question.
The IFA, the management team, the players and the fans of Northern Ireland.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
A lie told often enough becomes truth
Once again the IFA ignore the Catlicks. I have it on good authority, from my sisters lesbian friends cousins best mate, that Nigel Worthington was the only Prodie who applied.
Dey is bigots, I agree with curious, lets mope together. The same preson also told me that the Prodies killed Kennedy.
Realsit
Do you feel at all silly coming out with comments like
“Together, we will succeed.
Onwards and Upwards.”
It’s just so cheesy and cringeworthy, particularly from a grown man.
SoccerSucks,
“Do you feel at all silly coming out with comments like”
SoccerSucks?
