    I wonder will the Brazilian judges accept "I'm feeling sick like our guys do"

    I'm sure it's all just a very, very unfortunate misunderstanding

    That's great OP. So who is this guy and what's your opinion on the matter?

    Any context into your post or am I expected to do all the work myself? :eek:

    I think the Olympics has taken a terrible knocking for us. I have no interest in it anymore. Even poor Annalise, we should be celebrating her today. Corrupt bastids ruining it for everyone.

    Right. So he's suspected of illegally passing on tickets then. Why the hell didn't Breaking News say that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Bet he's sorry he was so rude to Shane Ross now . .

    He should get a Mr. V. Putin as his lawyer and he'll be grand.

    Yes, I am just passing on the information.

    I am not going to spoon feed you. If you dont know who Pat Hickey is then this is of no interest to you. If you dont want to "do all the work" then dont. I couldn't care less.:)

    Yep, that sums it up nicely.

    Absolutely delightful news. Particularly since the arrogant gobshyte, had the gall to reject any independent contribution to investigate the embarrassing ticket debacle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,815 ✭✭✭stimpson


    I bet he's a bit more humble when he rings the consulate looking for assistance!


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,214 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    funny how other countries deem situations like this worrying enough to warrant criminal investigations...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,467 ✭✭✭Floppybits


    Ross must be wetting himself laughing.

    hope they refuse him like he refuses others

    2 likely scenarios

    It's all true (this being Ireland, most likely is (tickets, touts etc...)

    or it's all an elaborate cold war ploy by the Russians to deflect away from their 1. state sponsored doping & 2. where the doping can't have any effect, their buying off of judges across all the various sports.

    Maybe a little from from column A?, and maybe a little from column B?

    If I was Shane Ross, I would make it my business to answer that call personally, and laugh down the line.

    ... this man promptly esacped from Barazilian custody to the Rio De Jeinero underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
