Do ye think Stephen Cluxton will be done for assault

Johnny Utah

There's a lengthy thread in the soccer forum regarding an alleged punch by GAA star Stephen Cluxton at former soccer player Jason McAteer. The photos of the incident are pretty clear-cut:

But, do ye think that the police will take any action, or seeing as a 'sports celebrity' is involved, do ye think they might turn a blind eye (as they did to Neil Prenerville)?

Big Bang Cluxton.

He only gave McAteer what he deserved...

It was only a Brit he punched. Not a real person.

In fact, Macateer should get a stiff jail sentence on top of the dig to teach him not to wind Irishmen up.

i hope so...
met him once on all-ireland final day
..think he's a tool.

From what I've heard he was bang out of order and acted like a thug.

I believe Gardai generally steer clear of stuff that happens on sports pitches. Would bring about some amount of stuff if they acted on all of it. (This point was made on matt cooper recently)

GavRedKing

Pictures show us a punch so its not alleged, I dont see this being followed up unless McAteer decides to press charges.

Wolfe Tone

Rumors that it was all for show too

Kiera

Hopefully he will have knocked some sense into Trigger. Clown.

So when he scored "that" goal against Holland to send us to the world cup were you dissapointed?

Why all the hate for McAteer? What's he done wrong apart from represent the country?

It was the same in the soccer forum, a lot condoning it

I was happier to see him play for a real Irish team like Liverpool with other patriots such as Phil O' Babb.

These days, however, he is of no practical use for the nation and as such is clearly remiss in deliberately assualting an Irishman's fist wtih his face. Doubly so for embarassing the poor Cluxton lad by doing it at a charity match.

Hmm, I thought the goals against Iran in the playoffs sent us to the World Cup.

Charity match. Heard the Dlublin lads relished the opportunity to take on some big names, started throwing in wild tackles etc. Legends team wanted the whole thing calmed down that it was only an exhibition game. Tackles kept flying in. McAteer gets sick of it, decided to play that way too, took down Cluxton, Cluxton gets up and smacks him a punch. Pretty straightforward. Cluxton let himself and his team down by acting like a brat.

Cluxton is a scumbag and deserves to be punished.

I'm a United fan, and from Dublin. Here's my take: Cluxton is a fcuking scumbag, tbh.

problemchimp

well I never, a thread where every second post someone is called a scumbag. How original!

Besides the fact you actually can't count, this is a thread about someone behaving like a scumbag. Really, you're surprised?

Shock horror, bloke throws a punch in a football match! It's a new low, never happened before! A scumbag I tell ye!!!!!

juma

Actually I think we're entitled to call someone who uses a charity match to start acting the hard man, throwing in dangerous tackles, letting his team down and punching someone who stood up to his bullying a scumbag.
