It scrolled across the screen so quickly that I thought it was Robbie Williams at first. And then my heart sank.

I deleted the RTE News app from my phone when it beeped in the middle of the night to tell me that Robin Williams had died.

Huh, the RTE News App is basically like my mother so. If the alert went along the lines of "C'mere, I've just had an awful shock. You'll never guess who died. Do you remember Johnny Mac's sister. You met her that one time. You were seven. She was home on holidays. Anyway, it doesn't matter. She was married to a man from Leitrim. What was his name...I can't remember. But anyway, she watched a film one day and this man was in it and now he's dead. It's very sad.


Ah you do remember her. She had a red coat. Sure it doesn't matter anyway.


Very sad altogether."


For better or worse, I can't delete the mammy app. :pac:

If that's the case there'll be an all out gang war on our hands.

If they were going to embellish the story they could at least have gone all in.

Ya there'll be hell to pay if it's Christy Sr's son who was killed. Still no confirmation though.

Hutchs i presume.out of the loop lately on this but arent the Kinahans viewed as the best of the worst ie the guards would rather they where in charge of gangland over the other psycho gangs.things seemed quieter lately until now.

I don't think so. He rules a drug network as sizeable as most large cartels. He's thought to be one of the largest in Europe.

And don't expect the gardai to get too involved either. I must stay out of north Dublin for a while. Don't want to get killed by friendly fire

They should give Matthew Macklin a shout and ask what he thinks of it all. A boxer with a good education behind him aswell you'd imagine he wouldn't have wanted to be associated with that shower.

Has he ever spoken about the time his trainer Jamie Moore got shot in a case of mistaken identity? I'd imagine he is told to keep his mouth shut.

The Boxing body in Ireland now should show a strong hand and ban this MGM crowd from running any shows in this country and the entire boxing world should follow suit and refuse to sanction shows they run anywhere.

The fighters need to show some brain cells aswell and not go near that outfit. Some of them are probably so far in over their heads though

I thought there would have been some law prohibiting convicted criminals from being involved in the promotion of the sport.

It's how the various governing bodies went about getting the mob out of the sport in the US.

This is a big one indeed. Instead of sending one hitman they sent three. I can see a nasty gangland war from this.

A man has died and another two are seriously injured after three men dressed as members of the Garda ERU burst into a Dublin hotel armed with what is believed to be AK47s.

FalconGirl

Macklin should f**k off associating with this filth. He knows well what the craic is. Let them wipe one another out.

Someone here could post a link to a story about a flesh-eating virus rapidly spreading across Dublin, and the comments would still be about the quality of journalism in the piece, even though it's absolutely fine.

I've written lots and lots of news stories and omitting words such as 'of' and 'it' are par for the course sometimes. You could read the final piece 10 times and still miss it. They're especially excusable in a story like this, which has to be written at speed and updated every time a new bit of information comes to light.

It's also Friday so don't be surprised if the journalist here is dreaming about the weekend. You do the same in your job.

It doesn't matter how perilous the situation, there's no call for shoddy journalism.

The media have such disrespect for pro boxing that its probably seen as a hazard of the business that comes with the territory.

Lets face it, im a boxing fan myself but pro boxing is an absolute joke in reality and has very little credibility outside of the so called "superfights".

You can only hope our own promising amateur boxers don't turn pro after Rio and get drawn to the likes of MGM.

I know Michael Conlan's brother was supposed to be fighting on that card tomorrow night and would have been more than likely present at that weight in.

Jamie Kavanagh was topping the bill (his dad and uncle were both executed in drug related feuds in the last couple of years) in a WBO european lightweight title fight whatever the hell that is, theres your problem with boxing. The title probably wasn't even in existence before this weekend.

Bongalongherb

I can't see them using AK-47's. I'd say they used sub-machine guns. Witnesses don't understand the difference.

Jesus, I didn't even notice that that was missing and assumed that it did indeed say "number of shots".

Amazing how you can think you've read missing words when your brain just inserts them where it knows they should be

Atlantic Dawn

TV3 have footage of it happening, no sound or shots visible.
