"They'll need a fukking stake to kill me"

slipss

Guess he was serious about that.

Fears of a dramatic escalation in Dublin's gangland wars were growing last night after one of Ireland's most notorious criminals was shot and wounded in the city yesterday afternoon.

Martin 'The Viper' Foley, who has 33 convictions, was shot several times at the Carlisle gym in the Kimmage area of south Dublin around 3.15pm. It was unclear if his injuries were life-threatening.

Last night Garda sources in the city said the blame for the attempted murder lay with a rival gang controlled by a Northern Ireland man who also runs the Irish National Liberation Army terror group in Dublin.

That makes over 30 bullets fired in his general direction in four known about assasination attempts, a good few that found thier target and a couple of failed abductions. I know he's a scumbag and all that but you've got to respect that kind of resilience.

Sherifu

When does he start releasing rap music?

minidazzler

Dont need to respect anything. These bollix's shooting him should learn to shoot straight and pick their shots.Feckin Losers the lot of them.

Think the bloke is up there with Keith Richards on the "never will die" list

AckwelFoley

Yes... i think these retards should join boards and frequent the shooting forum a bit.

Id have sat in the grassy knowel with my rifle... one shot and home in time for my nightly call to the "bang babes" channel 948 ftw.

lol..nice sig collie! haha

Peyton Manning

I guarantee you he will die in the most pussy way possible. A daffodil or a puppy will kill him, mark my words.

old boy

twould never be his own doing it to publisise him, 30 shots and none fatal, stevie wonder would hardly be that bad

thefinalstage

Pfft! Hitler had over a hundred attempt on his life. Ultimately he had to kill himself...

Crazy Christ

He's pretty strong, for one of the Village People

Collie D

lol Always thought that 'tache looked a little blue Oyster myself

GhostInTheRuins

Naw, he looks like Lemmy

Crazy Christ

I don't know enough about the underworld to figure out who it is that shot him, so I'll just assume it's Tony Soprano

mikemac

Where does the nickname "The Viper" come from?

Martin Cahill refered to him as the viper when he was talking to a journalist one time, obviously he couldn't use his real name, and it just stuck.

FunkZ

Fair play to him, for being a "notorius criminal" and all. :rolleyes:

...

ghouldaddy07

Ronaldo is the only viper worth mentioning

FunkZ

When did he start to be known as the Viper? I've been seeing it a lot lately.

dsmythy

He's one of Icke's Reptilian people. Thought that would be obvious :rolleyes:

He has a side business importing slave labour from Bosnia and put's them to work at traffic lights cleaning windscreens so some German guy that was sick of always getting stung for a euro every morning at the Red Tree Roundabout said "I am really, really sick of my money going to 'The Viper'" and it kinda stuck...


....oh yeah and he's a nob, and the twats that tried to kill him are obviously just ****ing usless :rolleyes:

30 shots? Ye lads have it all wrong. It wasn't lead, it was Bushmills! And he didn't go into a coma. Now that's impressive!

Tha Gopher

4 attempts, 30 shots, fcukin hell.

He oughta release a diss record at 50 Cent.

Great quote from when the cops arrived at the scene of the 3rd attempt some years back, he is lying there wounded and simply said "jaysus, this is gettin fcukin ridicilous now!". Thats more like something you say when you buy 3 tvs in a year and they all break.

Smilar to Saddam Hussein.
He had countless attempts on his life by the yanks and it took the Iraqis themselves to kill him.

Dennis the Stone

Kind of like Rod Hull. He survived countless assassination attempts, even emu tried to kill him at one stage.

After all that he tried to fix the aerial and fell off the bloody roof

A member of the infamous INLA supposely. One of the same chaps who was involved with the grenade attack in The Coombe in 2007.

Dave!

Jeez, what a waste of bullets

Ya-Boy-Ya

You just watch he'll be on telly doin Red Bull ads next!!!!
Im telling ya lads he's probably in negotiations as we speak!
You heard it here first.

Steyr

Why didnt they take a head shot?

Dennis the Stone

Who the hell shot him, a one-armed midget in a wheelchair? The gangsters in Ireland are a laughing stock, they can't even carry out a simple hit.

Maybe they need to switch weapons, use a powerhose or something, try drown him with it.

well, with a head like his, it would be hard to miss.

He was shot in the head according to the RTÉ News:
"He was shot in the shoulder at least three times, in the hip and two bullets entered his spine and near his kidneys. Another bullet bounced off his skull near his right eye.".

Off topic as it may be, David Chase "strongly suggests that, no, Tony Soprano didn't get whacked moments later as he munched onion rings with his family at Holsten's".

Grenade attack in the Coombe. WTF?

There is probably a decent law abiding person who is sitting on a waiting list for months for a hospital bed and now that bed is occupied by this "person".
What an injustice. :mad:

There was a good article last year maybe, can't remember the source for the life of me, taking the piss out of the likes of the Sunday World and their habit of perpetuating names like "The Viper" etc.

It also took the piss out of Foley. It ran generally along the lines of how Foley's magnificent nickname and frightening reputation didn't stop him getting turfed out and barred from a Dublin pub by the barman.

As for the poor quality of Dublin criminals' hits, I suppose they don't get the practice. They also seem to have a habit of using dodgy Eastern European sub machine guns which they fire on auto and of course would be lucky to hit a wall. But I bet they looked shit-cool when firing it!

If I'm not mistaken Brian Meehan chased Foley firing at him with a submachine gun before. The accuracy was again atrocious. Foley ran into someone's gaff and hid.

If they just shot him in the knees with a double barrell shotgun we wouldn't have to hear about this knacker anymore.

Don1

They need a mob of meerkats or a mongoose. Should be able to manage it. :rolleyes:

Dyr

God be with the days when the 'RA were'nt retired, At least there was some professionalism and attention to detail put into a hit back then, like the Martin Cahill job. Bang! and the dirt is gone, if ye get me

Stephen

This guy should have been in that film, "Unbreakable".

Standard Toaster

That man is indestructible. He should have his own Jackass style TV show.

BillyoftheBeast

If you survive multiple shootings that doesnt make you hard just lucky. He has no real say where the bullets go in his body or what damage they do.

Dyr

It'd be funny if someone shot him a few times and then shoved a stake through his chest as he lay there. But i dont think gangsters have the sense of ironing or lulz for that class of thing

I hope the c*nt catches mrsa in the hospital.

Plus he'll likely be in a single room on his own because he'll need a guard by his door.

All while some granny with a fractured hip is lying on a trolley for 24 hours in A+E.

I wonder how much tax he pays towards running our health service.
