   I would be harsh if it wasn’t true

      What in particular is it referring too though?

   I’m more of a Liverpool fan myself.

      i rather think that sign is directed at liverpool fans.

         Sunderland, surely.

      Anon didn’t specify address in his post to broadsheet…

   This person has no clue how to send a letter to the Irish Times.

   You have to start with Sir – (or A chara, –) and end with – Yours, etc.

   I guess Anon works in the Irish Times newsroom…

      Well done, Sherlock, you cracked it.

   Ted Crilly losing the run of himself, doesn’t want to be seen, heh, to be favouring anyone above another, so he says “You all…. have lovely bottoms”

   And of course, Celtic

   So THAT’S where DOB has been hiding

   It’s confusing, is ‘you all’ us or the people in the building? Are they asking for support or condemning? It’s just so ambiguous. I’ll just sit on the fence here until a clearer, more legible sign becomes available.

      It was aimed exclusively at broadsheet readers. Some foresight

    Dublin 2***

    The Herald only supports The Dubs.
12. Sam August 20, 2015 at 3:17 pm

    You’re all assuming that someone inside put that sign up to condemn their neighbours.
    How do you know it isn’t the work of an outraged window cleaner?

    Hmm. It has to be directed at the Irish Times in reference to a 2011 sexual predation scandal involving one of their journalists. His name is not published so as not to prejudice the trial, but obviously someone is offended by the wall of silence (or by something else we don’t know about yet).

       So would the idiot in question prefer if the IT named and shamed him, and in doing so compromised the trial? At this stage I can’t remember the guy’s first name which can only be good when it comes to choosing a jury.
       1. Doolally August 20, 2015 at 8:17 pm

          True, it definitely prevents trial-by-media, which is a good thing. On reflection, I think the reporting restrictions are actually meant to protect the victim’s identity, rather than his. Maybe the protester interpreted the legal requirement as the company closing ranks to protect their own – which, to be fair, would be typical behaviour in this country!

    It’s not that “look at me” idiot who walks up and down Grafton St with the placards and the 2 cm piece of black duct tape over his lips is it?
    1. Mr. T. September 7, 2015 at 11:26 am

       No that’s me.
