Might the use of the word "allegedly" in the opening post be worth considering?

This too. I know this was in the Connacht Tribune or some local paper before but it'd save a of trouble if you could link it in the OP as there's nothing online on it.

A gratuitous headline from a redtop.

Old news, been going on for a while.

He'd have gone down like a sack of spuds. :pac:

Sure his plea was guilty and he was convicted of the assault on the woman! so why would the word "allegedly" need to be used!?

That was the hearing that was in the Connacht before, the case was heard only yesterday and he was convicted of assault!!

The question was posed because the opening post simply stated that he had been "charged with assault". There was no reference to an admission of guilt, a conviction, nor indeed was there a link to the story.

In light of all that, I would have thought my question would have been reasonable? :rolleyes:

So it should be more just because it's a woman?

Ok see your point,but a lady being weaker etc and respect factor.
If you assualted anyone in a pub male or female a few weeks in jail would be better and make him he is shamed

Well the fact that national papers ran with the story and that he has been convicted is shame in itself.

I'm curious; do you (or anyone else) know what exactly he did? Because assault can be as little as just shoving someone, in which case jail would be ridiculous?

I'm open to correction, but a fine that small and no other action suggests to me that this was a minor incident. Calling for jail is a bit strong in my opinion! (Based on my assumption it was a minor incident.)

It is his private business, who cares? He is an amateur playing giving his all for the association. This is his private life and people should butt out and cop on before getting all judgmental.

sniper83

Galway supporters care, he is some role model for kids:rolleyes: he should be dropped from the panel!!

thristydevil

That is not good the game should be of free of any voilent and tragic fights potty-patrol.com
because this is against the spirit of games management and police should take notice of this act.

I wouldnt call punching a girl in the face and knocking her unconscious a minor incident..:eek: He got off lightly because of who he is.. I guess there is nothing stopping the woman taking a civil case against him but he should have got more of a punishment!! either way he can kiss goodbye to his hurling career for the county!

Not a nice incident, but management and supporters have been aware of it for a while now. Don't think you have to be whiter-than-white morally to be an inter-county player?

A small bit of cop on lacking in that post, there's no other information posted as to the severity of the incident.

Depending on the severity - that picture of the article in the CT is hard to read - the probation act and a fine is a common punishment for the first offence (I'm assuming it's a first offence, I haven't heard of previous convictions).

So because of who he is you want the book thrown at him? That's hardly fair or just.

Not likely, there have been plenty of people charged and convicted of stuff and it hasn't stopped their careers.

Diabhal Beag

I don't think he got off because he's a Galway sub in all fairness. Not exactly top of the fame food chain.

What were the pleas of mitigation that his solicitor offered to the court on his behalf?

Classy hurler. He cleaned up in the U21 final V Dub in 2011 at corner forward. Won an All-Ireland Minor prior to that. Played in the senior final V KK in 2012.

Shame bout the temperament though.

Not his first time before the courts either, this. So a €250 fine is light. He had been before the courts (along with two other clubmen) in Feb 2010, in Nov 09. They went after the ref after losing their county semi-final to Loughrea by a point. Pretty disgraceful really.

How do you think that ref Helebert feels, or that girl Callinan?

As of 2015, he’s still involved, was part of the panel V Laois last wk, and had a good NHL. Played well all of 2014.

These few court appearances for violent incidents haven’t hindered his life in any way, he’s flying it.

I dunno what to make of it.

Yip. Twas three yrs ago. Was watching the 2011 U21 final today on DVD, gave him a Google to see if he broke through to senior level, and unfortunately a colourful past came up.
Let’s hope his hurling does the talking from now on.

Will ya remove the names there for the love of christ. She's well past it and I doubt wants her name dragged up again, Neither does the ref id imagine. You'd swear you had an old score to settle yourself
