attempted assault

amdublin

I don't condone violence but I can understand what made your man do it to him.

That sneaky slimy schnake Bertie Ahern.

Tombi!

What do you mean fair play? It's a crutch he tried to f**king hit him with.

Fr_Dougal

However, a patron of the bar confirmed the incident had happened but insisted the former Taoiseach had not been injured and said the crutch had connected with the bar counter.

Pity he missed.

Tipsy McSwagger

Ironic since he crippled the country.

Funk It

He seems awfully proud of himself, thought he would have just claimed to have been legless

I have no respect for anyone that thinks that attackimg someone with a crutch is an acceptable thing to do.

The man was democratically elected, like it or not.

suicide_circus

a dapper looking gent !

he was later arrested for an unrelated "minor public order offense" ie taking a piss down a lane

I'd usually agree but I think we can make an exception for Bertie.

Jesus, are those christmas lights I see in that picture??

Misread "crutch" as crotch.

Teabagging Bertie!!! That'd make for much better story :pac:

He was democratically elected before he rode the country up the arse. Hindsight is the foresight of a gob****e.

"Bertie Ahern was the victim of an attempted assault with a crutch last night in a pub".

I laughed at that sentence.

It's not how he got into office people take issue with, it's what he did while in office that many dislike him for.

Na, he was elected at a time when anyone with a tiny iota of cop-on would see what way the country was headed.

The country got what it deserved.

Sir Osis of Liver.

He sounds like a fcukin idiot.

Agree totally. Under the circumstances, would he not have been able to articulate his feelings without lowering himself like that? Wielding a crutch..then posing for a fukcing ridiculous photo with said crutch and a dirty big grin on his face..made a tw@t of himself imho.

Alas if he is a "good working class Dub" he probably did. The concerned posh folk vote Labour these days.

How? How did Ahern ruin the country? You are blaming one man for the actions of MANY, Did he do a bad job? Yes....Does he deserve to be attacked by a knob head wielding a crutch? No.

fasttalkerchat

Since departing from office, sources say Mr Ahern has occasionally been verbally abused by members of the public.

Since when did occasionally mean every minute of every day?

I'm hungover, leave me alone

Mr. Incognito

Half the people here complaining probably voted fianna fail and they are rising in the polls

Anyone that swings with someone with a crutch is a scumbag.

Bertie should be tried and jailed curropt little piss ant

The man is a ****in crook who bankrupt a country to bail out he's crooney developer friends.

How ironic we find out this week that berties mate bernard mc namara has emerged from bankruptcy and is now debt free. After wiping away over 2 billion in debt.

**** you ahern and fianna fail!
