    Not just his large frame either. I've heard he was the trigger man in more than one or 2 gangland hits or attempted hits.

    He was involved in the Guinea Pig's shooting, wasn't he? Who else have you heard?

    I remember hearing that they were like brothers. Lived together or something.

    I've heard that a few times, I also heard he was involved in the planning of John Berney and Git Zambra in a strange occurrence of events. I don't even know if they're true its just what I done heard hur hur hur hur "said in the thickest country accents possible,"

    They were close. That one I still hear contradictory things on so I don't know what to believe on that issue

    Yes. They considered themselves like brothers and David moved into Wayne's house when they were teenagers. They were very different though.

    That's the truest thing I've ever read here. The Guinea Pig had them both ****ting their jocks. He was one evil ****, I know we talked about it the other day. For a man to be so despised in gangland circles and to live so long is a mystery that still confounds my medulla oblongota

    Nobody really, he was just a partner of a somebodies niece. Gave her awful beatings allegedly, Uncle came to sort it. He got the Uncle first (the wrong one at that).

    He's just one of these new breed who don't give a **** about those who came before them, they've no fear and are constantly out of the head on street tablets. They're a viscious breed

    So WC isn’t even a player yet was able to perform a hit like that? That seems a bit strange.

    Has he been allegedly been involved in any other hits or is he just a low level scum bag.

    The victim is connected from what I read on here so surely it would be very easy for them to take swift revenge.

    To be honest with you I never heard of him until he started going out with Jessica Mccarthy. There's loads of these dangerous types around Ballyfermot, they're a dangerous breed. I suppose they're in all the so called troubled areas. He is a car thief, house burglaries, sells a bit but nothing major. All these types have easy access to firearms so sourcing one wouldn't have been hard, he just made a huge mistake because if the McCarthy family can't get to him and decide to target his family instead. It could be a similar scenario to what we've been witnessing in the other feud because as far as I'm aware, he's not connected to any major players the way Kenneth is with DD.

    House belonging to settled travellers was raided on Deanstown Ave this afternoon. Huge presence of black suited robocops out of 2 unmarked transits, house was empty tho, and it is never empty.

    Anyone knows the area its the house that always has the sulkys in the garden and small horses tied up outside.

    Yeah the White House corner one, don’t know how they get away with it. Worse than anything out of shameless, absolute dive.

    Sounds like he just signed up to certain death then by carrying out the hit if true.

    I only met him once and I looked behind those eyes and saw a sick man. He had the same glare the Guinea Pig did, just pure evil. Those two stick out to me as just giving you chills. There was also one other fella. He's from Limerick, one of the McCarthy lads. I can't think of his name but this fella would give leatherface a scrap then come back for Michael Myers. Pure nutter. I'm surprised he's never been in the papers. He was probably sectioned or something but that boyo was something else

    Had a look at the gaff on street view. The majority of households nearby are lovely, clean kept gardens. How the **** people have stood for the state of that garden and obviously the people inside it. Could only imagine the scenes if someone here started tying up horses in a garden ****ting all over the place. **** sake

    yeah I don't live in that exact area but was using the green in behind it during lockdown with my kid and walking past that house there was always an air of menace about it. Judging by the house on the other corner opposite i'd say those pics were taken in April so it's a recent image of the state of the kip.

    As you said the rest of the immediate area is grand and I don't know how those people are allowed to live like that.

    Very weird that the place was empty at the time of the raid though, you could hear the Gardaí shouting "Clear" as they went room to room. It's even stranger because another house in the vicinity was raided not long ago either a house where some fairly normal kids live (6-10yo) and that was empty too on a Saturday afternoon.

    Either someone is tipping these people of or the gards are constantly observing and pouncing at opportune moments.

    It’s not him, KQ are the initials I’ve got from a reliable source, last played for Shels in 2014, same last name as a famous striker turned administrator

    Edit: the older man is also involved in football at a fairly high level

    He didn't necessarily play in England though, at least not actual senior matches.

    why is there such a connection with drugs and footballers? I've read of so many cases where the Defence says the defendant was a promising footballer in their youth etc. Is it that there aren't many outlets for retired/injured/didn't make it footballers?

    I’ve spoken to someone in the know about this before, it has happened time and time again that these young lads go over and next thing all they’re hearing about from back home is all these mad sessions and so on while they’re living with a family that isn’t theirs on a strict diet. This kind of thing essentially causes them to have an attitude problem (if they didn’t have one before) and soon enough they’re on a plane home and their mind is off football. A few months later they’re back playing in the LOI and it doesn’t take long before they become preoccupied with the idea that they have wasted a great opportunity. Their minds are gone and they still want the riches that they “should’ve had”. It’s probably not always the case but I know of another footballer who was extremely promising about 15 years ago that is now involved or at least was involved in the trade after an early retirement.

    Edit: as someone else said, a lot of these lads are from areas where dealing is rampant and some of their mates will have gotten involved while they were away if they weren’t already. Look at the company Parrott keeps, he’s an exception. Similarly, Sancho’s mates back home are meant to be big time.

    Let’s be honest lads, regardless of how the gardens are kept, that whole region of Finglas is consistently one of the roughest and most crime infested areas in the country going back to the early 90’s
