Graffiti on the North Quay

Psychedelic

The rockface is a bit of craic but they are taking it too far now with their graffiti on the Ard Ri and now on the North Quay buildings. If these fools think this is South Kilkenny then perhaps the graffiti removal bill should be sent to Kilkenny Co. Council.

Fuck off and vandalise your own town and county.

Spotted this meself last week. Painting the same bit of rockface is all for the craic, but its getting ridiculous now. Waiting for someone to pipe up with "Oh sure its going to be demolished anyway".

Just seen it there,and its not even worth taking a photo,the stand alone building in the middle of the wharf just has the big words "South Killkenny Kteam" painted all along it,pretty sad really.

the best I could take :mad:

This is taking it to the point where it's just vandalism. I can see this becoming very messy if it continues to escalate.

I agree,

I was behind the rock taking it as a laugh but a line has been crossed IMHO.

RACISTS!!!:eek:

LOL. I've always suspected

The KK team eh? Rather over the top for a bit of a hurling game, no?

I hear that one such group went into an estate with balaclavas on and started at the house owner as they drove past. They refused to put up KK flags cause she is a Deise woman.

Completely over the top and people like this need less attention and a good firm kick up the backside.

Theres a picture in the munster of the "k-team" its actually a fella in a balaclava driving a van with the k-team lettering on the door in the same font as "the A-team"

On another note and i know this might sound a bit petty but theres a Killkenny flag hanging from a window in the Waterford tax office on the Glen..

People like that should not be receiving media attention IMO. Whats described, seems very like what was described to me. Should have been reported to the Gardai tbh.

I thought wearing balaclava in public was illegal anyway? OR attracted unwanted attention?

is the grafitti on the quay gonna get covered up does anyone know...? :rolleyes:

I thought this K-Team would be a group of teenagers. If this goon is driving around in an easily identifiable vehicle then hopefully he will be caught if he does more graffiti.

Well here is the picture,and from the looks of it there all grown men.

This surely can't be the same group as Sully mentioned or that did the Graffti could it?

I mean more shame on the munster for not calling the guards on them.

Chris P. Bacon

Theres two pictures of them in the Munster at the Piltown show,heres the second one.Seems the woman is the only one who is man enough to show her face.

The K-team 2.jpg

Theres even an interview in todays Irish mirror with the leader of the team,who openly says that they have been going around painting footpaths walls etc in the county colours.

EDIT: Just found thereFaceBook page ,oh my god just read the info.

EDIT AGAIN: Just going through there PICTURES ,and they more or less admit to painting the building down the quay.

dayshah

I think Mt Misery is a bit of fun, and I'm all for flags and bunting. But painting pavements all seems a bit too Loyalist for my liking.

Yeah that's all a bit too much now in fairness. Hopefully the cops catch them in the act some night. If not the cops, I think it could get to the stage where some others might be trying to catch them at it. It's vandalism at this stage like.

If your men are as ugly as your women i would not blame them for wearing balaclavas.They should rename the paper the MONSTER EXPRESS.:)

old gregg

well the facebook info connects them to the-k-team.org and the registered owner of that domain is [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ballyhale Shamrocks GAA. That makes it a little easier to locate the clowns.

Met him coming through Mooncoin a short time ago and he was putting on his balaclava while driving with no hands on the wheel (and obviously no sight while putting it over his head).

ex_infantry man

came across these K-team fools in there jeeps while doin security last weekend up at the iverk show the garda that was stood beside me was,nt too impressed by the fella at all when he stopped lookin for directions wearing his balaclava

It really is sad,just to quote two of the k-teams comments on that pic "no mistake Conor , its all correct . We will have diversions for the ships to Belview port in Slieverue Co Kilkenny and shuttle busses to and from all villages . Come and join in the party Kilkenny style ." "and yeah baby . Now thats what were talking about" ,from what i can make of it these are all adults and they are going around like that,and the kk folk are loving it all,words really cant describe it,and im sure a few of the k-team are reading this thread and thinking to themselves "ah jaysus the blaas are really going nuts over this,i wonder what else we can do",well lads you can cop the fcuk on and grow up.

lads, tis only a bit of craic!

I think the port thing is quite funny actually & it only shows that them across the bridge are jealous of Waterford & the tall ships race. to which they are more than welcome to come and enjoy!

Yes of course i was on there page however else would i have known about it.

Look boy we are just going around in circles now,you like the k-team fair enough,their is no point coming on here and defending them,it is the Waterford section after all,and the majority of people on here won't agree with your thinking,so whats the point.

So it is probably just best to leave things as they are.

Just for the record i think what was done down the north quays was wrong, but its has been blown out of all proportion and unfortunately it has just added fuel to the Kilkenny bashing.
I mean the people who commented on the tall ships thing. They have nothing to do with any graffiti on the quay, so why quote them here and start taking the piss?
Anyway its yer forum so if thats what ye want in in the waterford city forum work away.

jonnyfingers

One thing I don't understand about the K-Team is the link between the name, the balaclavas and what they actually do.

I mean it's obviously a play on the A-Team name, but B.A. never wore a balaclava. Also the A-Team's mission was to help those being oppressed. After 4 All-Irelands I'd hardly think the people of Kilkenny are oppressed, when it comes to hurling that is. They should be helping Wateford to win one! Also painting graffiti murals wasn't on the M.O. of the A-Team.

So on careful reflection, if you wan't to wear balaclavas and go painting on walls maybe the I.R.K would have been a better name!*

The building is "due to demolished"? That will not happen any time soon. Even if it did it does not give you the right to paint that crap. It's illegal too.

All the rock face and half the Ard Ri building are within the Waterford City border. Even if they weren't technically within the border, realistically they are part of Waterford City and we can see them from our city, so why are you painting them. Your painting of the Ard Ri is also illegal. It looks terrible and reflects badly on our city, and you are doing it to provoke a reaction from Waterford people. All of us agree the rock face is a bit of fun, but at the end of the day this is our city, not yours, so stop wrecking it with your crap graffiti. It's not just illegal, it's childish vandalism you would expect from a group of kids.

This was covered in another thread. Most of us just wanted someone else to win, nothing against KK. All of us would admit to the team's greatness and would relish their level of success ourselves. But you just go on and believe it's just petty jealously on our part.

That is very interesting. Do KK Gardai know you did the graffiti on the North Quay and Ard Ri? The Gardai don't approve of illegal activity. I will send your admission to the Waterford City Council or the owners of that piece of land and hopefully they will follow up on that.

I have personally witnessed one of you putting one on while driving, with no hands on the wheel and no vision while it was being put on. Do not claim you just have them on for photo shoots.

K1 The K Team

ye didnt seem to mind the deise lads who broke all the windows in the ard ri , didnt seem to mind the deise lads who painted over road signs all over south kilkenny and painted across open and working business locations in south Kilkenny and ye didnt seem to mind the painting of rude slogans on mount misery . sure The K team would love an appearance in waterford city courthouse - of course we would have to keep our faces covered and request a closed court for the trial - and should it come to it we just might have to request that the case be held in a neutral location court house as we believe there would be great malice directed at our members .
how quick ye are to accuse us of breaking the law - but turn a blind eye to yer own law breaking - but sure as usual - one law for ye and a different for the rest of the country .

seriously - get over it - yer giving real waterford people a sour bad name - shame on ye .

As stated - we dont do that - if you have photo proof of this please post it - if you dont - then we stand by our statement that we do not .

yer nitpicking trying to use every possible option to give us a bad name - its only reflecting in jealousy on yer behalf .

K1 The K Team,

Either your a Waterford person trolling Waterford people or your a idiot from Kilkenny, stop painting stuff and give it a break now as the hurling is over.

Also please remove all the paint you put up while your at it, including the paint on the overpass of the M9 at Knocktopher that you put up at the weekend!

While your at it contact those idiots in tipp who also spray painted loads of stuff and get them to remove their paint also.

Both lots of paint make the place look messy and are of no benefit to the county,

...can't believe I wasted this much time on a troll/idiot....

I don't have photo proof because I was also driving. I'm a bit more responsible behind the wheel than you obviously are. Your statement means nothing to me because I know it is false.

BTW, I am from Kilkenny, not Waterford.
