Someone allegedly lost their temper with a hurley.

Pauliedragon

An ex Gaa player and all Ireland winner has been accused of assualting a 12 year old with a hurley after an argument. Sad story if true. I'm not here to speculate as to who it might be or what happened just surprised it hasn't been posted before.

Shur marty nolan will let him off with an apology

Clare all ireland winner.

Lets wait for the full facts.

Apparently it was a few young fellas drinking in a property under construction, they caused a lot of damage and it was the second time they had done this, the 'attacker' with the hurley is one of the investors that had to foot the bill for the previous damage and even though it was a broken arm and some other bruising, the family is now carting the child around in a wheelchair to get their payout.

He's a pillar of the community and an upstanding member of the local GAA club. Likely let off. Welcome to Ireland.

Good effort minimising someone giving a 12 year old such a beating that hospital staff report it.

If he can't control himself when dealing with a child he deserves everything he gets.

MarkR

I did hear about it around the time it happened. If those kids have been vandalizing his property, I can certainly understand his anger.

Pillar of the community, good at the ol' sport. Probably loads of testimonials. There'll be a payout and he'll do some community service.

Well, won't go to jail but will have to pay big money.

Don't forget - he does trojan work with the local GAA club and comes from a highly respected GAA family also...

Another bash the GAA thread.

Yeah, but come on.

One current multiple All Star and young hurler of the year found guilty of kicking the cr** out of lad on a night out, another ex multi all star and player of the year, nay player on team of millenium, fraudulently extracting money from people are not exactly going to go away.

And we both know of some other high profile ex players that could have possible done jail time.

BTW I also know of some rugby heads that could probably have done jail but for their connections.

I'm not dismissing what he did. It was a cowardly and vicious act however he wasn't playing GAA at the time or representing them. Will we ever see the headline '' retired hang glider assaults boy ''? Hardly.

Yeah Right

"let's wait for the facts", he says, in the same breath as he states the player was from Clare, without anything factual to back it up.

The hypocrisy of some posters is astounding.

If it can be leveraged in court, it can be mentioned here. Besides, it's more of a bash the young lad thread.

The amount of times I have seen you be completely wrong about factual details on this site, I now have to assume the man in question has never been to Clare.

Title

I normally lose it with a person, not with an inanimate object

Bit like saying

Someone allegedly lost their temper with his penis.

if reporting some alleged SA...

Gusser09

You've a propensity to take on posters with your passive aggressive nature. Leave it for real life lad. Don't be a keyboard warrior.

That smells.

Construction sites are meant to be properly secured and supervised.

The contractor is usually meant to have insurance to cover such matters. 'Investors' do not have to pay for such matters.

Shenanigans.

A feted All-Ireland winner.

I've seen a name in a piece by a foreign web-news site, I would suppose it would need to be more concrete before linking the story.
