Yes, played for our Academy and reserves. Left footed

I probably said that a few times over the years.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

If he is to indulge his addiction he should have stuck to red or black rather than brown.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

4 years seems a bit lenient for that amount of heroine. You can hardly claim that it's for your own use.

 

[SwissBlade]

Bloody hell, that's some bother to be mixed in, a little more detail here.

Former League of Ireland footballer who was caught moving €2.7 million in heroin is jailed

The court heard that Quinn had “a very significant gambling problem”.

I'm guessing his debts were less TSB and more IRA....

Depends on if you’re Keith Richards or Eric Clapton.

Seems that he was the recipient, not the dealer....

You'd have to try really hard to do all that smack.

I am no expert on heroine and I know it is very moreish but 22kgs seems rather a lot to order unless you are an extremely generous person. Did he have the same lawyer as Clay Davis?

Wayne was clearly the better one.

Mighty was always my favourite.

Making some wild assumptions from the minimal info available, presumably it wasn’t him that ordered it from Amazon.nl but he was the receiver as part of a debt repayment plan...

It’s ok though because Alan Quinn said he wasn’t a drug dealer. Great defence that, I’m no legal expert but asking your older brother to say you’re not a dealer when you’ve been found with a load of heroin can’t be up there with the best legal moves can it?!

It’s supposed to be a mandatory sentence of 10 years once it goes above 13,000 euros worth
Ahem apparently
But it’s only been implemented once
Judges don’t like be told what to do

 

[dublin 10 blade]

The problem with getting caught over here is it normally doesn’t end there
The top men , normally want their money back I know 2 families , who have had to pay back
17,500 grand and over 120,000 euros to replace confiscated drugs
One of the people got 6 years kept his mouth shut and still had to come up with the money , even after he was attacked with machetes and almost losing his arm
The other couple only saved their son by selling up and moving down the country
I don’t think Mr Quinn has seen the end of it if I’m honest

 

[Jon B]

He got off lightly. He could have been sentenced to community service in our current midfield.

 

[bypassblade]

Sorry but caught moving heroin worth a heck of a lot of money, no sympathy what so ever.

2.7m eur for 22kg. It's interesting that the Irish drug dealers share the same pricelist as Ryan Air.

A lot of footballers get into difficulties with gambling. Maybe something the sport needs to try and sort out.
Ending up doing this is a tragedy for everyone involved.

Wednesday's big youth prospect who came to us in a mini coup. Obviously had other priorities!

Know it too well.

There's a big thing been going on in Drogheda over the past year or so.

Know of a woman who was romantically involved with a big hitter, they split up and she moved on to meet someone else. The big hitter trashed his house, beat the mum up as a warning to him.

He had also stabbed and chopped up a 17 year old after this and served 4 years time (not for this offence as it couldn't be proven).

Anyway recently him and his mates drove up to Drogheda where he was setup by his mates who executed him.

Were there any male heroes??

That the guy who got mugged by that young lad and his mates
And took his revenge by dumping him all around north Dublin ?
The flip flop guy

What a lovely story for a beautiful spring day.

 

[Hague Blade]

Bloody hell, pop on here for a bit of a browse... That whole Drogheda bit that Tarqs is on about; it’s got its own Wikipedia entry, and you quickly lose count of the number of listed murders. Real life gangster shit. Makes me feel entirely content with my slightly dull but nice quiet life in a little town.

As a mad dog he wasn't so much executed as had to be put down.
