Did McAteer then tell him to write it in his book?

Did McAteer then tell him to write it in his book?
My Guarantee
Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
Some people were saying it was set up and they were only messing.
I find that a bit hard to believe.
Find it hard to believe someone managed to catch the photo. Cluxton looks like a darker haired Ivan Drago too.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Some of the recent threads here are making me paranoid!
If genuine, it seems like the reaction is "our local GAA hero showed that soccer nancy boy".
If it had been one of our soccer stars doing the same at a charity match it'd have been "those soccer thugs are a disgrace. No wonder nobody likes the sport".
Bizarre reaction lads.
Calm down.
The only one doing the soccer v gah thing is Bernard Dunne!
Actually its so obviously a fake - doh!
It's a punch, not a full blooded punch but a punch nonetheless.
What did Jason do, to wind up Cluxton?
Said 'here this'll look great in the papers'?
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Apparently it's all genuine. Cluxton responded to a tackle from behind by McAteer.
The guy who took the pictures has posted here:

Some nice tweets from Dunne there
"it wad a whopper."
"Be was ay it all game"
"Didn't know Cluxton nor McAteer where that good acting"
But my personal favourite is when he lays into the US sports for no reason
"Unlike our western neighbours sport GAA boys dont mess about..."
Forgot about Ricey's heinous knee in the neck. Only was some Orchard knacker though. Does that make it right? Probably.
Eh, the outcry in Australia about some of the crap that they're players were getting away with was unreal. Hence the games since have calmed down. They were taking men out with high tackles and off the ball tackles which you can get suspended in AFL games for but not in International Rules at the time so it ended up being a free-for-all. Suspensions were brought in and the Scum (Nick Riewoldt) element has abated somewhat.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Have to say it was a very elegant punching action.
Isn't McAteer from a big boxing family? The retaliation would have been interesting.
Jason's finest punch was landed on Neuman's face at Lansdowne rd 2001. He does his best contact work when both feet are off the ground.
Apparently the incident that precipitated this was McAteer ankle-tapping Cluxton.
Now this was a charity game and if the eyewitness reports are accurate, McAteer had been niggling a few lads.
Nobody is wearing shin-guards so it's obvious they were told to take it easy.
Cluxton has a League final coming up and then it's straight into the championship.
If I was him and someone ankle-tapped me in a charity game I would have been pretty annoyed.
Not saying I would have hit someone but I'd be pretty annoyed.
ive a mate who played on the same team as mcateer and aldridge. Ill ask him to see what teh story is!
