    His sister put up a post to defend her brother and it's possibly one or the worst written fb status I've ever seen........and what's the the first comment.....couldn't have said it any better.


    It's hard to believe these people are real!

    Why should we give him the oxygen of attention? Let him fade away and rot.

    It's basically a private group filled with the friends and family of John Gilligan whinging on about how he's a good guy who's been victimised and harassed by the state.

    Don't even waste your time reading it.

    It's like Gilligan's Island, but the island is trying to get away from him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭D1stant


    Yeah complaining that he's really a good sort & that Ireland turned its back on him and now he is serving a double sentence. My heart bleeds

    The sense of delusion and entitlement is astounding. How much tax payer money did it cost for the 24x7 protection for this scum in hospital?

    tis about de importing of heroine and how JT did for VG. Its high level of literacy makes me think it could be the work of a 10 year old ASBO (or else Bertie Ahern is doing a computer skills course somewhere).

    I wonder what rights she think Gilligan fought for

    Last time I looked at the constitution there was nothing in there about us all dealing drugs to kids & shooting journalists

    I applaud her willingness to stand up to agents of the state, grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax and sense. They've been keeping the Irish working man down for years.

    I just can't believe the multiple people who commented " well said" and so well written" and stuff. Did they actually read it and make sense of it?

    Gilligan is no better than the government scum that rob the needy to pay their banker pals. They should be in jail too

    Same old argument there..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,360 ✭✭✭realdanbreen

    She certainly has a point about the journalists.Some of them have more or less made a living out of writing about him. Who cares about him, he was eventually caught, locked up for 17 years, now he's out, so what!

    Comparing violent criminals to corrupt politicians is complete nonsense. I would have a drink with a corrupt politician. I would probably let a corrupt politician babysit my children. I would say hello to a corrupt politician in the street.

    Violent criminals should not be compared with corrupt politicians, or other non-violent offenders for that matter. They are not the same.

    I was joking, but no doubt, crime does keep some, no criminals, in business.

    He has a certain celebrity. If he had gone straight and kept a low-profile years ago he'd probably be in the whole of his health right now.

    He said a prayer for dear old Ireland every time he sold some drugs or ordered a killing.

    It is well and fine for him to be fighting for his rights. I'm sure Ms. Guerin would be doing something similar, if she could. Well might civilized people abandon this defective animal - if he were a wolf he would have been killed by his own kind long ago.

    If he were a wolf I don't think he could have imported drugs

    If he were a wolf he would be a defective, destructive idiot who could not be corrected and would probably be destroyed by the alpha male for the good of the pack.

    Well as somebody said " she has a point " yes but if only we could figure out what it was . Oh me name it is Sam Hall chimney sweep , chimney sweep ......and me neck will pay for all ... Gilligan wanted to be sort of a hard chaw you know , dishing out but not receiving it .He was certainly brought down to size..... no wait a second ......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Peter Brennan


    omg I just realized Im using my real name well I better move .You know in fairness to his old skin and blister she's right about those journalists making a living off her brudder although in a parallel universe I cant imagine "opposite john Gilligan " would be much of a read Sample : This morning john Gilligan , the accountant , got up for breakfast at six , as he usually does , walked his poodle , schnooky , then came home for his laid out breakfast as always . Well as john looked at his toast he noticed it was slightly under buttered and boy was he cross at his darling wife . So cross that he scrunched his eye brows for 1/10 th of a second before his wife could catch him . new novel by

    Violent criminals should not be compared with corrupt politicians, or other non-violent offenders for that matter. They are not the same.
    they do tee same thing in a more subtle way, They destroy lives and hopes and lead people to suicide. At least gilligan who i have no time for is honest as to what he is. Not like a scummy politician in a fancy suit who pretends to be good and holy and churchy. I would not let such a corrupt scum with my kids or drink with him and if it came to a choice between drinking with a politician and gilligan i know who i would choose

    If you saw bertie on the street you could call him a wanker. Imagine doing the same with Gillian?

    If you type like that do you reckon you find it easier to read posts of a similar nature by others? :pac: A bit like when mobiles first came out and teenage girls were a lot better at shorthand codes and abbreviations than us laads who were more competent with how to use predictive text on aaa Nokia (nobody really seems to use text speak anymore with the frequency they did years ago)

    the short jist of it seems to be attempting to portray Gilligan as some sort of modern equivalent of the men of 1916. I suppose he must be some semblence of hero to people who smoked hash in the mid 90's :pac:
