I don't subscribe to online bullying but whilst not knowing the full facts, the combo of the brief outline of the case and the young lads haircut has prejudiced me against him completely. Needs a stint in the Marines for an alternative form of coaching.  ------------- El Puto Amo |

The reasons given in the article, as well as the haircut, mean you are correct. If he wins,every GAA club in the country will be done! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I got dropped from my schools team U14 team for smashing up a player from Salesian College. I played against the f**ker the previous Saturday when playing against Celbridge Boys, he nutmugged me, I was still raging. I never started for the school team again under that manager/teacher. I could have reached the top if it wasn't for that. I think I'll put in a claim. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

Am currently talking to my lawyer based on occurrences at previous fan's games. Could I also just take this opportunity to say what a fine bunch of lads have represented us in these games over the years. |

Just as well.  As PM said above, if that lad had won the case, there'd be GAA (and soccer and rugby) clubs up and down the country being hit with cases like this with parents queuing up to lodge claims just because their wee 'uns weren't getting a game. It certainly speaks volumes for today's compensation culture that such a case was even considered, never mind taken all the way to Court.  ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Probably would have got similar treatment (certainly would have been told to catch himself on, at least) if he tried taking a case like this about 20 years ago. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

| This is up there with the case I read about recently of an 18 year old lad who had, at the age of 14 or 15, sued a driver through his father (took the case in his own name when he reached 18). The lad had been cycling the wrong way round a roundabout and crashed into the side of a stationary car. Thankfully he lost the case. |

Seán Ó Donnabháin is basically the worst judge for a case like that, from the kid's point of view. He takes no bullsh*t whatsoever. -------------

To extend that point a bit Conor, it would probably mean the end of sport in the country as we know it, as I doubt any junior football, GAA or Rugby club would have say, 10 grand lying about spare in the event of some judge deciding to take a dropped player's side (although any judge with any bit of sanity could not have taken this fella's side). SD mentioned Judge O Donnabhan takes no bullsh*t, but going on his comments, I would say that as well as being a sensible fella in touch with the real world, unlike some of our judiciary, I would guess he also has children and is familiar with some team sport of some description, might have even played (& been dropped) himself at some point. It seemed he could barely hide his contempt for the case of the plaintiff. The kid himself isn't really the issue here, this was without doubt driven by his father. I salute the legal lads who took this chap's money, and I hope they got paid upfront, but looking at it, there wasn't a hope in hell this could succeed, I can only presume they decided to run with it as yer man was so determined to sue. I do note that even though bullying was mentioned in the case, they didn't sue the club for bullying, which I would imagine is generally easier to prove than PTSD, therefore you can only assume the legal lads looked at the case & decided the evidence wasn't there to prove bullying & ran with this instead (while laughing away to themselves when yer man left the room). PTSD is something people usually associate with victims of war, or violent crime, or violent road accidents, it would take a legal fella of considerable skill to persuade anybody, never mind a judge, that getting dropped from a football team constitutes a trauma. What did make me laugh though, was when yer man was asked to give examples of PTSD behaviour, said he locked himself in his room, and threw his phone against the wall. This would differentiate him from exactly zero amount of teenagers, something I think the Judge was well aware of. Very hard to get the image of Harry Enfield's Kevin the teenager out of yer head reading that. With any luck, this self important idiot will be charged with both legal bills (2 days of 2 barristers & all that goes with it, nice), but it is amazing it got this far in the first place. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Great point re PTSD being associated with genuine traumatic events Deise. I think the judge was missing a trick by not pointing this out, would surely have put some much needed perspective on this ridiculous case. I would have loved to have seen the lad's and dad's faces if he had. As you say, the dad certainly deserves to be landed with the legal bills for both sides, I'd love to see his face then! ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Justice served? FFS, they shoulda just hopped in their car and fooked off home, they're an embarrassment. As the judge so diplomatically said, the father "lacked insight".

''Not overly blessed with insight'' was how the judge put it. As someone else already mentioned, these utter fools should be held up as an example and deterrent to similarly minded morons everywhere.

Gives them a chance to agree costs and avoid another hearing. If the dad ponies up a few grand between now and the next day, it could be the end of the matter. -------------
