I assume you mean like settled people do !!!!

If memory serves, the hutches and kinahans who happen to be driving around in flash cars with guns in them and shooting innocent people aren't travellers;)

Ah that's woeful.

Nobody has denied that there are settled people who commit crimes. And they are roundly criticised.

The percentage of crimes proportionate to the traveller population is much much higher though - to the point that it's an integral part of their culture. Accepted by it. Crime in settled society is not accepted.

I worked in a large retail shop during the recession, I worked in the menswear department which was up stairs and the womens was downstairs. The women travellers used to change the prices of the clothes to something cheap, say a red jacket was 50 euro , they'd get a price tag off a red t-shirt worth a 5 euro and swap them. Then they'd bring the womens clothes upstairs to mens tills ,hoping we wouldnt cop it. Caught loads of them doing it. They'd just say that that price tag was already on it , play dumband walk out . I remember this traveller brought up a pair of shoes, when i scanned it , it came up on the till as a plate worth 2 euro. I coudnt stop laughing. They'd rob ya blind if you gave them the chance.

Yeah, I just read about it today after googling the team.
All 4 involved in the attack on the ref were travellers.

Why haven’t RTÉ given any names of those banned?

Interesting that the victim publicly "forgave" the attackers the very next day. I genuinely wonder was he forced, coerced or advised to, considering that it has now transpired who the attackers are.

Mullingar FC getting slated on FB for their handling of this. They set up a go fund me page for the ref asking for public support and never donated to the fund themselves.

One of the attackers is a very serious operator indeed.

members of a well known settled Traveller family

Can we stop this bullsh!t of calling people who live in houses travellers? They are rejecting the harsh life of living in a caravan and want an easier life living in a house. They are choosing to be settled people but still want all the benefits of being classed as "Travellers". You have third and fourth generation living in houses, still claiming to be travellers. Nonsense. Either you are settled or a traveller. A settled traveller is an oxymoron.

I don't agree with RTE's usual handling of reporting but in this case I reckon the haven't named those involved due to an ongoing Garda investigation

Oh my god yes - I saw the poor guy on RTE news saying he held no animosity towards this crowd who had hospitalised him. I was thinking "Why the hell not?!" Bloody hell it would be far more understandable.

I'm shocked they even reported them as being travellers, fair play, one of the very few.

Was just about to post that it makes sense now why he came out and forgave them so quickly.

I always thought that myself.
But I suppose they see it as a continuation of thier culture.
I think time as caught up on the travellers.
About 60-70 years ago they would have fit into society more.
When Ireland was a more agricultural based society, they used to make tin craft items, they could also help farmers on farms when they needed labourers.
Academic education was not seen as a necessity in those days.
The clan culture of the travellers was not far removed what it was like for the settled community in large families.

Now we have a more educated global society with technology that has really changed how people interact, sell goods and communicate.

Yet we are still living in a world where some travellers think is ok to knock on the door of settled people and ask for food. Then find it thrown away down the road if it did not meet the standards.
I often wonder what sort of reaction settled people would get if they went up to campsites and asked have you any spare food?

Three players and one “fan” involved in the assault. This is the “fan” who was once a player but was banned because of this.....

A Few Travellers were on Liveline with Joe Duffy there a few weeks ago (Before this incident) and were playing the poor mouth with the whole "people keep abusing me and I'm giving up football because of it" Spiel. They are absolutely useless fuccks, 95% are scum of the earth who rob anything they can. They are pretty much incapable of contributing anything decent to our society.

Peter Casey had it right, they deserve absolutely nothing from the state.

Pavee point will be on every station with there usual defence "There is elements of criminality in the settled community too". What he wont say is that is maybe 5% of the settle community.

That story about giving up sport because of racism never sat right with me. Seemed a load of balls at the time and still does.

I'm heavily involved in soccer and have been for decades, and I know of no player, of any race, religion, or creed that has had to give up soccer because of racism. I've managed, coached, and played on teams that had catholics, protestants, muslims, black, white, and brown, travellers and homeless people, of every nationality, and I've never had an incident of racism in any of those teams. Travellers claiming to have had to give up soccer because of racism are absolute spoofers. They are the same as the lads that you meet in every pub in the country that will tell you about all the trials they had in England but they had to give up because of a dodgy knee.
