THE Erris-based football club, Valley Rovers has sensationally pulled out of this year's FAI Junior Cup.

The club officially notified the FAI of its intention to withdraw yesterday (Monday).

They described the action as a "boycotting" one taken on the grounds that the high profile knock-out challenge is sponsored by Statoil, who are one of Shell E&P Ireland Ltd's partners in the Corrib gas project in Erris.

The Statoil FAI Junior Cup is one of the biggest soccer knock out tournaments in Europe.

In an official statement Valley Rovers F.C. said it had been disappointed to see local people from its parish, Kilcommon, being treated in a "heavy handed manner" by Gardaí as they protested at Shell's first attempts to resume work at the terminal site in Bellanaboy. ... read full story / add a comment

This is obviously interesting as a spin on the Shell to Sea campaign, that people shouldn't be interested in it because Sinn Féin support it, and the fact that it chimes in with SF politics should make everyone wary of it.

What is also fascinating is the insight into the worldview of the author (and by extension, those who pay him and read him). He believes that if something reminds people of the recent conflict in and about Nothern Ireland, then people in the rest of the country will turn off from it. Not because of the issues, but just because it brings up unhappy associations.

Therefore if the police want to diminish public support, they should baton charge the protesters, the author seems to be saying. Perhaps plastic bullets would be the next logical step in Mayo? ... read full story / add a comment

Both FEIC and DAWC were today calling on the council to stand by that commitment, following evidence unearthed by the North West Telegraph that Raytheon had been developing the Joint Effects Tactical Targeting System (JETTS) for the MoD, which aims to improve "lethality". During a meeting, Raytheon bosses confirmed to the council that the revelations in the documents, obtained from Invest NI under the Freedom of Information Act, were true.

A story in today's Sunday Independent would appear to reveal an attempt to fracture the Shell To Sea campaign. The story focuses attention on Maura Harrington who (among others) can be seen to be assaulted by Gardai in many photos on IMC.ie e.g. http://indymedia.ie/article/79039

Mark Garavan is quoted as criticising some "unnamed person" as being "violent". I wonder what he actually meant and whether Daniel McConnell understand him to be talking about Sgt. Connor O'Reilly or some of the police officers that were responsible for these assaults
