He is coming to Ashbourne for Ashbourne Uniteds opening of their new ground.

It will be a great day out and ye might get a few pics with the man himself and if not get yer face painted with the kids. Also MrTayto is going to be there throwing padjets a crimps all over the shop. If ya want tickets pm me. ------------- Chips don't bounce |

Whenever I think Paul Mc Grath, I simultaneously think Phil Lynott. talented, down to earth, old school, decent, working class, black Dubliners. Two gentlemen, they command respect, admiration and genuine love even in those who only feel they know them. I hope a day comes when Paul can rid of himself of that horrible fcukin disease. Please your honour, go easy on him, he's one of ours.

back in the day I wrote a Cult Hero on McGrath and made the same comparisons to Phil Lynott. I've a mate who is a dipso, he's been off the booze 1 1/2 years, but in that time he has had about 5 sessions. McGrath went a year and half, they will always have relapses. Lets hope Paul can get back on the wagon again soon. ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught! Well, four years ago I had already told the government. |

Yeah, the comparisons with Philo are eerily similar. Half the nation would bend over backwards for either man, yet Philo couldn't clean up and Paul is looking like he's the same. I guess some people just have an emptiness inside of them that no amount of adulation, love or achievement can fill.

Maybe just maybe Paul wants to continue drinking and should be left to decide that for himself. All the "hope he beats his demons" comments while well intentioned could be adding pressure on a very vulnerable person.
If he is unable to stop, could he not be encouraged to drink in a more controlled way. If we are concerned for Paul, we should support him when he has the odd relapse and not wish for what we want for him instead of what he wants himself.... ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Don't be disingenous. You started a false thread with the title "Paul McGrath" to grab attention for some kids day out gimmick for which you already have another thread going on the forum. And then you're cheesed off that the other posters are actually discussing the thread title "Paul McGrath". Don't set up a thread with the title "feel tits for free here lads" and then leave people heartbroken when it turns out to be about Paul Mc Shane. Anyway, back on topic. I doubt very much those tweets came from Paul McGrath or he even knows what Twitters is. They read like pubescent text-speak . It will be a disgrace if he is convicted of a crime when you see the amount of drunken yahoos that wreck lives every weekend never face any trial.

That's the thing. His alcohol abuse is well documented at this stage. I doubt there's a person in the country that isn't aware of his addiction. And I also doubt there are many people in the country who don't realise the utter carnage that alcohol addiction creates within families. And then, while he is in the process of recovery you have people knowingly inviting him to events where drink permeates the entire occasion

Its already been decided lads. From the indo., Judge Mitchell, who revealed himself as a http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Leeds_United" rel="nofollow - Leeds United fan, said he nonetheless would take into consideration McGrath's forthright apology to the http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Garda_Siochana" rel="nofollow - Garda and hotel staff, as well as an "impressive" letter from his doctor handed in to the court. "I am aware you are a national hero and considered one of the greatest soccer players in Ireland," he said. "Growing up myself I would have watched many of the games. "But I was not a supporter of many of the clubs you played with myself - I was a Leeds United supporter. "I'm also aware, as a hero, people looked up to you, and still look up to you." The judge also noted McGrath's charitable work for http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Cystic_Fibrosis" rel="nofollow - cystic fibrosis and acquired http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Brain_Injury" rel="nofollow - brain injury organisations. Ordering the former footballer to return and give a full day's coaching to children of different age groups at Tullamore Town Soccer Club, Judge Mitchell said he would give him an unconditional discharge under the Probation of Offenders Act, providing McGrath stayed out of trouble. The judge said it would benefit both the children of the town and McGrath himself. "You were in Tullamore for a wedding, you will be coming back now to help young people," he said. As McGrath left the crowded courtroom, a number of onlookers scurried after him into a side foyer of the building, where he stopped for a time, spoke with them and gave autographs. Flanked by his agent, he refused to speak to reporters as he was led out a side door before he was bundled into a waiting black BMW with darkened windows and sped away. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

I see the Sun have a campaign to stop people buying/serving Gazza booze, which gazza is supporting. They should do the same for our Paul in the Irish sun! But seriously it's up to himself if he doesn't want to drink. I know myself I tried to stop but deep down I didn't want to so now it's all about trying to make sure I don't go overboard but I know myself there is potential every time I go out that I will go overboard and potentially do something I regret |

I wonder how many times he can have a drinking session without going a mad one. Was reading gazza people do be on edge because he can either ha e a few drinks and be the life and soul of the party but other times he can get agressive etc. so it might not neccasarily mean McGrath always goes on a mad one when he drinks and can maybe enjoy himself like others. It's probably harder to stop or stop him when you know he can be great Craic on the booze and its only every so often he goes on a mad one. I'd put myself into that category sure |

If you are his friend and know he will go to anything to get his next drink, do you go out with him in the hope that you can keep an eye on him and assure he doesn't get into bother or do you say no and let him wander off anywhere to get alcohol and pray he isn't found in a ditch the next morning? I know it's a hypothetical question but what would you do??

Good to hear him sounding in top form he says Argentina will win the WC due to the Messi factor and that Louis Van Gaal is an inspired appointment for Man U. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

Don Hutchinson had PM in skys Fantasy League team tonight saying that even though he didn't play many games for Sheff U he was different class.
DH went on to say that on the Friday before a game Paul would stand on the training pitch with a cup of tea as he was unable to train but the next day he would be the best player on the pitch by a million miles.
