They know about it. It flashed up on the official comms CCFC twitter lead...
Clever Deegan :jerkit:
I doubt the club would have known about it had it not been for this forum. Damn this OP!
Even then they'll only find out free the CET run an article using this post as its 'source'
As another posted pointed out, if some of you get your wish and he is kicked out, who are we going to pick? Our squad is down to the bear bones as it is!
Further on the IRA, the organisation for which Deegan has been catigated for defending:
They have destroyed all their weapons in process validated by neutral international monitors (including a former ANC cabinet minister from South Africa, and the former President of Finland) and signed off on by the British authorities and the unionists
They have confirmed in the Stormont (Good Friday) Agreement, via Sinn Fein (their political wing) their willingness to abide by democratic processes in Northern Ireland, including power-sharing with moderate nationalists and the unionists, and re-approved this in the St Andrews Agreement and the Hillsborough Agreement.
As a result, Sinn Fein candidates are legitimately and democratically elected to council seats, NI Assembly seats, MEP roles and Westminster seats (they abstain from the latter). To the best of my knowledge they have fulfilled these roles reasonably diligently and responsibly.
The IRA recognised the authority of the Republic of Ireland parliament, by sending MPs to attend sessions of the lower house of Parliament, the Dail. This confirms their acceptance of the current status quo, as does their participation in the NI assembly at Stormont.
So although the IRA have a very dark history indeed, we can clearly see that they are now an organisation using peaceful means to achieve their political ambitions, much the same as any other political party.
I have no love of the IRA but engaging and working with them on a shared solution has to be better than continued internecine war.
Let's park this one and move on.
Very level headed stuff. Unfortunately I m not and therefore would advocate sticking a bullet between their eyes
This forum really is full of snap-decision, conclusion jumping, slander-peddling morons. No wonder I hardly come on here.

Would it be OK for someone to show support for the British army on twitter? I am sure there are some people in the middle-East who seem them as being scumbags?
That is different. The British Army do not target innocent people with bombs and are an officially recognised army, not a terrorist group.
Let's put some context to this. If I worked in Iraq and was a public figure to some Iraqi's then, yes, it would be disrespectful to take to twitter supporting the British army when some of my followers may have had family killed by them. Deegan works in England where a number of innocent people were killed by the IRA, some of whom will be Coventry fans. It is 100% unacceptable for him to support them on twitter and he should be reprimanded for it.

Read your history SB or are you just playing up to your user name?
what utter twallop dont put our army or other forces down they deserve better not gonna say anymore as dont want to start a warThe way the British army behaved in Ireland was just as disgraceful.
My uncle was part of the crew that had to go in after those scumbags sabotaged those soldiers in that car.
What they did was horrific - and this guy defends them!
I hope they cancel his contract immediately, and he NEVER plays football again.
UTTER DISGRACE.
It is my understanding that he was having banter with McPakewho has elected to represent Northern Ireland over Scotland. Deegan put up theRA, aimed at McPake, Banter in bad taste possibly and misguided, hardly Supporting the IRAthough is it!!! Think some have gone over the top and blown it all out ofproportion. just my entitled opinion of course

He is actively supporting a terrorist group FFS! I have lots of friends from Ireland from both side of the 'divide' none of whom would ever dream of making statements on social media. He is a role model -poor one granted- but he has a responsibility towards fans. So without getting into a pointless argument I just think he should come out and make an apology he's already divivded the support of fans. How old are you SB? Old enough to remember the City fans in the West End singing Celtic, Rangers,Celtic, Rangers? That was banter, up the RA is not!
