Listowel Knackers

Obviously a popular lad with the locals.

:(

Did anyone hear his girlfriend on newstalk?

He must have slipped hera few Black Russians before she went on air. FFS its on camera you stupid woman.

Make your blood boil reading that!!!
The laws against sexual assult/rape are a joke! 7 years???
Should be life!!!!!

Hope he gets what he deserves, which is a very slow and very painful death!

Agreed, 7 years with 2 suspended is a joke. Please god he'll be put in a cell with some nigerian fella who makes him his b!tch.

Hopefully the victim can get on with something resembling a normal life. She strikes me a brave woman.

He gets 7 years with 2 suspended, and that 15 year old lad who had consentual sex with that 14 year old girl could get 5 years

what a f00king stupid country we live in :|

I hope the cunnnt gets what he deserves in jail. People like him are animals and those that defend him are the same.**.

The priest defending him, may as well have come out and said 'there is nothing wrong with that sort of thing'

have any of those 50 or the prist said they are defending him?. It's actually unbelievable what they have done.

I think the preist said something along the lines of he always had great respect for women or something like that

The priest was a character witness at the trial

So called pillars of the community should do a bit of homework first before acting as character witness to these**bags!
Not the first time this has happened recently.
Makes me sick!

Cooldine will be on soon to defend the people of Listowel.

the priest was probaly riding him when he was an altar boy.
was blessington 1 of the 50.

Really hard to credit that the fiancee still plans to marry this cuddly bundle of fun .
It really is true -love is blind ....or else her options must be seriously limited.
Maybe it's the case that they deserve each other.

ffs on tv3 now portraying him as a victim and that his family will have to travel all the way to cork to see him. Jesus christ.

I've seen the future and it works ....equality of victimhood .

The priest should be ashamed of himself. They should not be allowed as character witness. Sure their record given what has come out recently they should not be let near any sexual assualt case.

only a fool like u redbait would think some one would defend an act like that

the priest has probably done worse

they are some**bags pure and simple imo, it says a lot about society that a**bag convicted of rape is lauded like a national hero

I wonder how many of them inbred cnuts would be screaming blue murder if it was their daughter that was raped

Just on the factual point -he was neither accused nor convicted of rape . It was a sexual assault ...it might conceivably have been a prelude to a planned rape -but no rape was carried out.

yer mans brother on pat kenny now

Dont mind that other Cooldine,this is the real feller here and im here to defend young Foley.Do any of ye ghouls know the people involved,the answer a resounding no.Do ye know their backgrounds,again no.Then how can ye make judgement then ye pack of cyber fruitcakes.There is something different about this case when people are comforting a so called sex offender and the so called victim is scampering out the back door.Normally its the victim comes out the front head held high and the offender is ushered out the back away from the eyes of the public.Priests standing by the so called perpetrator and so on and suddenly one imagines that this cannot be an open and shut case.
Its plain and simple what happened here and i feel very sorry for the feller involved exactly what most of his neighbours feel also.

Satan Claus is coming to town.

:(

Missed the brother on Pat Kenny... curious to hear other the side of story... I like every sane person was appalled by the scenes reported from the court house, and have been shocked by many peoples reaction that their must have been some other side to this case that somehow wasn't heard in court. My suspicion is this is a particularly well orchestrated slur campaign on the girl so as the convicted man saves some sort of face as incredulous as that sounds.

Im amazed this thread is still here given the title :)

cooldine he was found guilty of sexual assualt in a court of law, so regardless of what you think about the other party the scences in listowel are a disgrace and a reflection of the people down there

http://www.rte.ie/radio1/player_av.html?0,null,200,http://dynamic.rte.ie/qui...

the Priest resigned today

cooldine tell us the big secret that makes him so popular etc?..that poor girl is going thru hell or so it seems

Or so it seems is the key phrase in your post Kavvie.What i am suggesting is a distinct possibility and possibly even a propability that is everything in this case is not as it seems at all.Kerry people are being portrayed as animals after coming out in support of Foley.It is highly likely that people with local knowledge know more than the average cyber fruitcake that posts on here.

what was said in the press was pretty daming tbh, and he lied about how he found her (said he found her when going to releive himself), and was seen carrying her behind the skip, and she was found naked from the waist down.
doesn't seem very innocent to me :|

and if appealing i hope they double his sentence!!!!

He lied about carrying her there. Raped was not committed only for the fact id say he was caught in the act. Hes as guilty as sin. Priest was right to resign and has no buisness getting involved. If it was a family would want that animal hung up. Justice was done he's** and deserves to rot in jail. Anyone defending should take a good luck at themselves.

Also cooldine if he was innocent why did he lie about how she got their. Answer that one.

According to one report - in the Indo i think - Foley said the reason they didnt have sex was because he couldnt get an erection. Could just be a lie i suppose like a lot of the garbage that has spewed from his mouth

Cooldine - you are either an idiot or a**bag, or both.
The priest did the right thing eventually! He should be ashamed!
This**bag was caught on cctv, yet denies it, stupid as well as a complete waste of life!
Hopefully he meets his end soon.
I wish all his well-wishers all the horrible misfortune that they deserve for treating this cretin like a hero.

Downallstar its you who is the idiot ya cyberbalmpot.He was caught on cctv doing nothing ya tool.What it showed was that he simply carried a woman towards and ultimately behind a skip.The woman was obviously very inebriated but fellers**g birds that are full every night of the week.If they werent**ssed then most of them wouldnt leave geezers up on them in the first place.
Maybe im wrong but id imagine by your stupid username that you arent that local to Listowel so you are hardly in much of a position to pass judgement when you know simply nothing about either party.

Cooldine will you just inform us what exactly it is we don't know..... and why the hell it wasn't used in defense in court..... if I was ever accused of a heinous act like that, surely I wouldn't hold back evidence that could prove my innocence.... The defense the girl was a** as some people have muted isn't a defense...

s*l*a*g

He was caught on cctv doing nothing ya tool

then why did he lie to police ?:|

Dasium you are the one who used that term and not me.I think it is plain as the nose on your face what the local perception of this lady actually is.I dont have to spell it out but the fact that the so called victim didnt receive much public empathy speaks volumes to me.Just because Kerry people are supposed to be backward doesnt surely mean that they cant decipher right from wrong.

do people remember what happened with declan quill a few years back??....if he had been convicted in the wrong..would he or those that believed in him be called knackers?......

Cooldine why did he lie. Why? And just because someone appears nice does not mean they are. Sure **kking ted bundy was by all who new him a charming guy. Get real you clown.

Awesome Impact.Heres the picture,burly bouncer and a**sed young girl.Her being carried suggests that either she was unfit to get there herself or it was against her will.There must be a possibility that she was being carried wilfully,but the defendant would surely have known what way it would be perceived.Its funny how the victims memory was very hazy when it suited her although she did remember getting a black russian and also being assaulted ,but sadly doesnt remember too much in between.

Heres what MIGHT have happened on the night, based on my reading of evidence.

Drunk man chats up a very drunk girl that might have a reputation as being a bit loose. Very drunk girl might lead the very drunk man on a bit, lets him buy her a drink etc... The night is nearly over, the drunk man wants to seal the deal and says as much to the girl. Unfortunately for him, she is perhaps a bit too drunk to walk out of the club arm in arm with him and get into a taxi. So, the determined man does his best to try and seal the deal, he helps her outside. Maybe he can't find a taxi, so he decided to bring her down an alleyway. Its been a long night, he's randy, that will do. Shes really struggling to stand now, so with the finish line in sight, he lifts her over to the appointed spot. Wait a minute, she is fairly well out of it, is this right? Ah well, Ive come this far, she seemed up for it earlier, so I'll kick on, she won't mind. Off come the trousers, then the coppers turn up.

Worth a lengthy jail term? You decide. All hypothetical of course.

Redbait.Thats a very good synopsis even though it may be a purely hypothetical one.It must be very possible that the hypothetical episode that you have constructed is something close to the reality in this case,then again it may not be.The 50 or so well wishers outside the court obviously had a similar scenario on their mind.

He said he went out to the carpark for a leak, and found her there!
The cctv shows him carrying her out there!
He was caught standing over a half naked woman!
You are an absolute idiot!!

Cooldine (and the rest of the lads in 'yermans' local),
cyber fruitcakes, is that the term ye use for a mickey finn?,is that how ye get ere a sh@g down there?
we'll see who he bounces in cork gaol,heard they're not fond of sexual offenders from north kerry.

Cooldine,wondering if you cud put me right on a couple of points please? Why are other posters on this forum cyber/balmpots-fruitcakes but you are not although you too are posting on this subject.Presumably I am same for posting also. Downallstar because of his 'stupid username' is too far away from Listowel to be allowed post his opinion whereas you on the other hand whose previous username was Galway123 or a similar moronic username,is geographically quite within his rights to pontificate on the 'rights' and deemed 'wrongs' of the case. We are not worthy obviously.

FWIW I agree through what I've read with the findings of the court but you obviously wouldn't deem worthy an opinion of a cyber fruitcake like myself!

moralising and pontificating.

I dont want to get involved in the arguement here but il just make one point.
Does it not seem strange to anyone how so many people from the area took his side in the matter? Presumably both were well known to locals and if the crime was as cut and dried as the media present it then why were people still defending him?

Have you ever seen the film the accused?

50 people supporting someone means little. Just probably family and friends supporting someone who has told them their made up side of events. Whatever he was convicted and i think hes guilty. You dont lie about what he did and not be guilty. Also if he was only having a** and found her there why was she half naked. He was found guilty and i think if that was anybodys sister you would kill the cunnnnt. I hope he gets whats coming to him the animal.

well put Anfield. Kerry people can be reprehensible.

She will be on Radio One with Marian Finucane soon !!!

The victim will tell her side of the story shortly.

Makin' the headlines again........although Liam A is tops !

NAME the 50 !

lads not taking sides here, but only 2 people actually know what happened and both were steaming drunk, and perhaps they don't even know the full truth.

the camera never lies. cctv me old china.
