  1. Useful to have the resource for historical purposes but Christ alive some of those op-eds would have bored a corpse to death.

  2. Certainly an interesting record of the period, fantastic that these kinds of historical resources are being preserved and made accessible.

  3. Oh Ghrá Mo Chroí, I long to see the boys of the old brigade

  4. I remember they used to come round the doors selling this, think it was a Thursday evening.

  5. I remember it used to be sold outside mass. Never struck me as unusual at the time

  6. Why are you lot constantly bringing up the past trying to Divide people

  7. Walking down Shipquay street in Derry in the 90’s – the usual suspects flogging the paper.

    I ask him “Do you take punts?”

    “Do i fuck!”

    The bastard would only take the Queens shilling.

  8. Do they mention shooting children dead or blowing children to pieces in those rags?

  9. mad to think the Provos had FNC rifles (first 2 pics) before most national armys got them, wonder how they obtained them . 

  10. Very interesting I get to see what was going on the year I was born in 1986

  11. I wonder how many articles within an phoblacht would have been merely dismissed as republican propaganda but with the passing of time have been shown to be true.
