Martin Cahill :: Hero or Villian??

Robbie Burke

Martin Cahill AKA The General.

If ya ain't heard of him...your missing out on an unbelieveable true story, read the book by Paul Williams or watch the film, available at most xtra-visions / chartbusters etc etc.

Anyways, did you think he was a man of thje people? Or was he just a hyped up thug?


Tell us all what you think of the enigma that was Martin Cahill. R.I.P.

Celt

rofl
You clearly know nothing whatsoever about him except what youve seen in films. What enigma? He lived with two sisters, was a vicious cunning ****. He was no man of the people. he was a scumbag who deserved to die.

Hobbes

reminds me of the Cray twins... lovely lads, sure they would smash your face in with a bat and leave you for dead in the middle of no where, but they really looked after thier mum, sweet boys.

Magwitch

I drank a pint to his timely demise. What a scmbag thug. The pathetic attempts by the D4 set to create a media "robin hood" out of this jerks memory are pathetic. He was a smelly knacker philistine.

The IRA pulled the trigger on him for dealing with Loyalist drug dealers and he was stupid and arrogent enough not to jump ship when he was told by the provos. I only wish more Monks, Penguins and Turkeys would meet the same end!

Keep your powder dry and your pants moist

Robbie Burke

If you had ever read the book, by a respected crime journalist, you would know that the book hardly sets him up as a Robin Hood figure, but, he was still an enigma...I never stated he was good, I never stated he was bad, I just anted to know what you all thought...

Next time your gonna flame someone, try thinking about it first.

Scum.

Nothing unbelievable about it.

He is clearly not a man of the people and asking if he is shows a remarkable lack of intelligence.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Tell us all what you think of the enigma that was Martin Cahill. R.I.P.</font>

Well you certainly seem to want to get in his pants.

Oh and i have read Paul Williams book and seen both the movies.
From what you wrote you certainly seem to like him and think he's great.

TwoShedsJackson

He wasn't so much an enigma as a complete <unt.

gandalf

He was another piece of sh!t criminal used by the "media" in this country to sell their wares. He got what he deserved a bullet in the head, as every other scumbag like him should !

i lived around the corner from him and the only thing god was that we had a special branch car posted outside our house 24/7.
he was a scumbag and liked to hammer people to the table. had one of his collegues kicked to death if i remember correctly for something stupid like disagreeing with him.
no lose at all.

Dustaz

Yeh, i lived round the corner from one of his houses too. He was a gangster ffs, not a man of the people. I got home from work about 10 mins after he was shot, it was a circus. Cops hadnt a breeze how to lock off the crime scene. We found a bullet shell and had to point it out to a cop

Lack of intelligence wtf?? he was 1 the the smartest men i have ever seen!!!

But the was a scumbag

Kali

Bomberman.. he wasn't talking about Cahills intelligence more the person who originally posted.

Either way I think hes a real groovester.
PimpDaddy Martin we would call him.

Robbie Burke

I am indifferent to the man as I was only a 6/7/8 year old in his final few years. So, I didn't live the reality of it. I was just wondering what everybody else though.

I prefered the kevin spacy verison of martin Cahills life

First of all does this not belong in the Humanities board ?? I would be one to say the film is nothin like his life but Paul Williams book on him would be some what correct on his life. He lived with 2 sisters so who is to no that any one here is not doing it!vicious cunning ?? I would more say he was a smart man which is good thing well thats what I would say some may not.He made out to be a robin hood yes I think he was.But compared to any monks, Penguins, coach's he was on a different level.

LegacyUser

Well to me it looks like english and it makes sense. So ur point is wrong again

DrunkLeprachaun

English it may be, crash, but 'tis confusing also.

If there's one thing I hate, it's people.

Celt

No crash it isnt english. "ur" is aslo not english, get a fking clue ffs and learn to spell or at least make sense.

Shiminay

methinks some of you should take a look at the dyslexia thread on the Humanities board...

Anyway - Martin Cahil was a criminal - an incredibly intelligent and devious criminal, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he was a very violent and dangerous man.

Maybe the IRA did the world a favour - who's to say, but I'm glad I never had any dealings with him!

All the best!

Okay so Whitelancer is being a bit childish, but in fairness - I couldn't make head nor tail of Crash's first post either.

Ry

WhiteLancer that is being rather childish and petty. Who gives a **** if someone spells **** wrong (Less its PHB of course :P Mr. RussianEnglish himself ). I read Crashes first post and it was a little complex and tricky but a man who has such intellectual skills as yourself White should be able to decipher it. So really your the fool cuz you being mister clever Spelling champion as you are cant even read a slightly complex post.

Shinj that message is grand just that the odd comma is missin and crash is hardly as enlightened as you when it comes to punctuation and grammar. Anyways my rant is over Bottom line is White your a tit just tryin to score a cheap shot at Crash and Shinj your a tit.......
Thanks

Martin Cahill ** SCUMM **

The film "The General" made him into a Robin Hood type guy but he was an evil fupping thug.

[fist]Pi$$er

Ah, the petty Muppetry. I have always believed language to be subjective. What ever u say is always opent to be interpreted in any way the other person likes. So, while Crash has the right to use Netspeak, WhiteLancer has the same right to be an absolute muppet and not understand. A bit like if my time-machine worked (closer, i get closer, every day) and i went back to the stone age and spoke to someone. This would probably result in hilarious and comical lines, like in a cheesy American Movie.....r something?...what wass i saying?.......my head hurts

[fist]Pi$$er

and my dad knew the General personally, and the guy was an evil *******.

ok ok u say "ur" is not proper english. well how about
"isnt" would u not mean to say is not also "fking " "ffs " like come on whitelancer grow up and stop been childish.

I feel the need to point out that attacking someones spelling, grammar and syntax is probably the most base and lowly form of insult. It's a cheap shot like no other and generally signifies that the attacker hasn't either the intelligence or wit to come up with anything more productive and thought inducing.

It's not big and it's not clever...

.logic.

Lenny

whitelance come on u should really not be that imature to go around and try and correct someones mistakes Like come on u still aint a mod grow up
this is the internet like...

RioTGurl

i loved that film!! i thought there was something really nice about him even though he was a croook...he was more of a robin hood thn anything else

I asked him to say something in english because i couldnt make any sense of what he meant. He then said it was english.
To sum it up,
I ASKED HIM TO POST IT AGAIN SO IT WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE. I ONLY SAID ANYTHING ELSE WHEN HE INSISTED ON SAYING IT WAS ENGLISH. Is that clear enough to you now, or do you want me to make the font bigger?

I wasnt flaming him just asking a simple favour.

Monty - the one and only

Lancer, I let this go the first time. I will not do so again. Loose the attitude or start loosing your posts...

Attacking someones grammer is way, way out of line, regardless of what you have just said, that is what you have done....

It is not a fairytail. It is truth

Celt

No I said he was not making sense. My grammar is crap all the time but i am readable. Asking him to repost it so i could understand it is not out of ****ing line and its not my fault he thought it was english.

Dustaz

I thought that post was utter gibberish too. I just dont care enough about the topic to comment on it.
edit: so ill just make another thread
