Fair dues to Mick Fealty for getting Sir Reg Empey onto his latest BlogRadio broadcast. It's an excellent interview and it's refreshing to hear a clear and sensible message being delivered on his main competitors in the DUP from a very impressive Empey.

At the same time, it's fascinating to hear the old dominant faction pitching as the small party competing with the giant.

I should also say that I'd go even further than Empey (who only mentions it in passing) on the God Save the Queen in Ravenhill issue: both anthems ought to be played wherever the international match is taking place. Why is it that people think that only their symbols matter?
