Fully agree he is a w@nker.

Fran Gavin is an idiot,without doubt he does not know what he is doing.

Lets be honest that looks better than a bunch of grown men running around in circles on the tolka pitch

Founders loves nothing more than a moan,anything to get another post on a forum .

Eh? The journos travelled to Derry for interviews to be used in the run up to the Cup Final. He was asked a question about this, and he answered it.

Aye, but he was trying to get his name in the paper....

why not ?? this is going back six or seven years.. im curious to find out what ex town player was kenny talkin about???

[robertob]

Lads, could anyone give me a short summary about this case? Because I haven't read anything about the punishment for Dempesy after his suspension. So is he now rehabilitated or have he got a ban or a money fine?

St Patrick's Athletic midfielder Gary Dempsey has been fined two weeks' wages following his admission that he placed a bet against his side last month.

Dempsey admitted to wagering €20 on Galway United to overcome the Inchicore side as part of a double.

The former Dunfemeline Athletic midfielder was suspended by Pats, pending an internal investigation, and has now been fined wages amounting to approximately €5,000.

Thank you.

The FAI investigation is still ongoing too.

They are apparantly trying to find the exact pen that he used, but given that the shop has 2000 pens it is proving troublesome.

Is it a joke or not? If it's true than I haven't words for it - absolutely crazy!
However, why they need to know which pen Dempsey had used?! I thought he have already admitted what he did.

Other question: I've read about a few other LOI playes who are involved in illegal betting, perhaps. There are any news for it or is this accusation silted up yet?

[Saint_Charlie]

He was joking about the pen.

No other players have been named in the media except Dempsey.

[robertob]

Oh ok, I wasn't sure if the story with the pen is serious or not. Nothing is impossible.

5 matches is light IMO.

[Saint_Charlie]

It's too steep if anything...
