So saying 'up the ira' isn't praising them then?
I'm sorry but the ira are the lowest scum on earth. I don't believe that deegan believes what he says, but that's not the point. Even on the basis of stupidity he deserves to be punished.
For the love of god, HE DID NOT SAY THAT!!!!

There is no proof he supports them though. Imagine if I said to my mate "come on the taliban", it doesn't mean I support or condone them. He made the mistake by posting it on the internet, rather than a text!
Honestly. I think people should be able to jokingly say whatever they like. Everyone has the right to like or dislike that individual for his comments and that should be enough. What is the world coming to when you need to seek legal advice for a fecking twitter comment when there are much more important issues on our own streets? Seriously?.
no but the fact he put it on a domain for the world to see suggests to me he wanted to look big and clever in front his irish mates.
Or the fact he isn't very smart and made a mistake or at the time didn't think before pressing the Enter key!
he said up the RA... which means up the IRA.
ANYONE who knows the politics in Ireland knows what it means that
Maybe he's a big supporter of the arts?

Deegan is very much a fan of the Impressionist School, whereas McPake is more a fan of the Cubist movement.
even my 9 year old kid would know whats right and wrong
a bloke no matter how dumb he is , should know what reaction it would cause ?
really unfunny
the first good move i actually agree with by the club for years, he simply cant get away with those comments, as a proud city coventry has been targeted twice by this scum terrorist organisation, resulting in the loss of lives. and the fact he is a terrible player and a chance to get rid of him is just a bonus
Nobody is sticking up for him I don't think. Just from a common sense point of view as we have no players, unless we have an awesome midfielder lined up to replace him.
It would make no sense to sack him or risk him being unfit (if we do keep him) as we have no other players.
What like people near enough of accusing him of being a terrorist, a fan of the IRA etc? Maybe he just didn't expect the over reaction about it.
Still just think his wages should go to a charity for 2 weeks, public apology and extra training.
I don't know, getting all hot and bothered about a stupid tweet from somebody you don't know personally to a mate is pretty funny really.

I actually agree with you. But that has to be across the board. How is it right that deegan can say that as a 'joke' and nothing happens, yet John terry calls someone a racist name and gets in trouble. If terry meant it as a joke would it be ok?
There is a difference between saying "Up the IRA" and being an active member in them surely?
If my friend was going to Afghan and I jokingly said in the pub to him "come on the Taliban" as a joke. Does that make me a supporter / member of the Taliban?

Apparently it does on here.
To be fair if he was going on holiday to Afghanistan he'd deserve whatever happened to him!
ive sent plenty of non PC jokes to mates but i do them private not via a open board etc
No, because it was banter between me and my mate. Which is why I said he shouldn't have posted it online....
I'm not condoning anything, I'm certainly not a supporter of the IRA, I don't know Deegan. Just trying to see it from all angles rather than the "he should be killed", "he should be sacked", "he is a terrorist" comments.
So if it was a racist joke does that mean you want to go out and beat up people of different races? Does it mean you condone people who do?
OR does it mean it was just a bit of banter between you and your mate?
so supporting a terror group is ok to you?
so your happy one of our players are pro IRA, a terrorist group who killed over 1,500 innocent civvilans?
