Ollie To Sue DCFC Fan!!!!

Derry fan Ayianapakev said on the official shels forum:

Quote:
Just so as not to start another damn thread, but your esteemed leader was on Radio Foyle in Derry today with a Bohs rep (Gerry Cuffe I believe?) and accused Bohs of deliberately playing McGuinness due to their hatred of Shels and Oilly personally.

Given the Nazi-esque control of the press policy being recently pursued by Merrion Square surely this will result in a "bringing the game into disrepute" charge against Oilly unless proven, swiftly followed by a lawsuit for defamation by Bohs.

He also urged Derry to "hand back" the 3 points we didn't win against Dublin City. Which I think we'll all agree is absurd.




The mod in the shels forum replied with this:




Quote:
Mr Oilly Byrne, CEO $heliban, has read the above message and takes great exception to it.

He did not make any such accusation as alleged above.

He spoke to Mr Richie Kelly the presenter of the sports programme on Radio Foyle, this morning, and together they listened to a tape of the show and a transcript is being made available. Mr Kelly agrees that no such accusations as you allege, were made.

Ayianapakev, Mr Byrne will accept your retraction of the above post and an apology, posted here.

Otherwise, he will pursue a charge of defamation of his character, against you.



I reckon we all go on and post the exact same thing, lets see him sue every single fan for defamation!!

watch out, watch out, the tax mans about!!

Say something about cigarette smuggling. He can't sue you for that because its true.

In fairness, if the guy didn't say it, then he's entitled to be annoyed. It would be very easy to retract the allegation and move on.

typical loolah derry city rubbish
sue the git and be done with it
sure he can always employ hargans lawyer

Come on, how many times are people misquoted or given stick on the internet. If every time that happened the manager / chairman threatened to sue you would have to close all football forums!!

And as far as i know he did say it, the radio show will be online soon so we will all be able to make our own minds up.

If he said anything that would get him in trouble he would demand that it be edited out.

the radio show should have went online last night but it still hasnt been uploaded, the rumors have started already, ollie threatening to sue the bbc if they dare publish what he said...

He can't sue them for publishing something he said in an interview he gave them. This guy is a cancer on Irish football.

A strange and tricky one this.

Legally the publishers, in this case Shelsweb, the offiical website of Shelbourne FC, the contributor and the distributors,(ISP) are liable for any libel, defamation or slander, joinltly and separately.

Shelsweb should have immediately removed the post once it was brought to their attention but they chose to leave it in the public domain.

Speaking to a legal eagle on this matter he was minded to advise that by not removing the offending words the case would, if there was one to answer, have very limite dlegal recourse.

I dunno!

The guy deliberately went onto the forum of another club to allege something about the chairman of that club. If it's untrue, Mr. Byrne is within his rights to take action.

Please god provide a link :D

As recent cases prove Soccerc is spot on, its the site that gets sued for what the user says so Ollie gonna sue Shelsweb :D


LOL this gets funneir and funner.

kdjac

Link.

Not saying the guy's a saint, but good God, every time he's in the papers / on radio / on TV, there are people who will try and twist and turn everything he says to try and prove he's the antichrist.

I would imagine the defamation threat would simply to emphasise the point that the poster was telling lies. If he merely said "I didn't say that," it wouldn't have got the coverage.

On the other end, maybe it might help to curb some of the sh1t spoken on here and other forums.

If BBC Foyle ever do put it up, there's a really scary piece of music just waiting to be made using samples of Ol'(lie) DB in full flow
