Yes Strangely Ireland has 5 provinces for cricket purposes as opposed to the conventional four . Ulster is effectively split between the “North“ (Basically Belfast and thereabouts) and the “North West” (Foyle Valley and Donegal) But there aren’t many clubs at all in Connaught or Munster https://www.cricketireland.ie/about/provincial-unions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthammer Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I inadvertently posted this in the "Sectarian" thread within the Fran & Anna section. I believe the circus was coming to Glasgow city centre today. Any photos of the multi-coloured, ill-fitting clown outfits on display ?? This, I believe, is the correct place for the post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in loyal orders in Scotland the Glasgow walk was always the jewel in the crown. This makes sense. Although Edinburgh was the city of John Knox and, along with Rotterdam, Zurich and Geneva, kept the fire of the Reformation burning it was the Presbyterian city of Glasgow who gave short-shrift to the Polish-Italian fop and his ragtag army en route to their nadir at Culloden. Good to see the lads and lassies celebrating shared sovereignty with our big southern pals since 1603 and the rule of parliament over the crown since 1707 in such a tuneful and colourful manner.

As the OP asked...post images from yesterday's celebration. If you want a discussion about some trivial incident from the 70s then there are plenty of other threads to raise it. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
