QuoteI suppose it's too crazy a notion to consider that an individual may behave in a disturbed fashion in order to support an insanity plea in a child abuse case!?Originally Posted by Countyman
Horan deserves a good kicking to be honest. Jail him or commit him but don't let off because he's a bit simple or touched or whatever buzzword he prefers. He's an idiot, plain and simple and the lad from Brazil must be gutted and rightly so.
With any bit of luck Horan will go back to a grand prix and get hit this time...
...he may get jail or a kicking or even both as according to the independent today he has to face charges of child abuse in the UK in the next few weeks.

Have Boot Disk, will travel
Okay ...a couple of things -Horan is obviously as mad as a snake trying to fcuk a goat.
It should be possible to remove his passport at the time of a major sporting event (ask about half the travelling Engerlund support if you don't believe me...) but removing his citizenship is unneccessary and anyway contravenes the international convention on human rights which forbids rendering a person "stateless"
Though there's still plenty of damage the guy could do if you took his passport away. AFAIK he lives in London ..he certainly did when Liam Fay interviewed him for his marvelous book "Beyond Belief" (actually horans doing a jig on the cover.) he caould still get into any UK race meet, track event, football ground...
I think the core truth here is that the man is on a seriously downhill spiral. He's repeatedly acted in a fashion that indicates he's concluded that the rights of others are insignificant compared to his need to convey his message
(which incidently is an extremely confused mix of right wing Catholicism, right wing bible protestantism, judaism, pretribulation rapturism ...it's fcukin' all in there!!!)
So far he's run accross a few racetracks, stopped a guy from winning a race, got fined and we still don't know what his message is and we don't care. The scary thing there is -some day it will probably cross his mind -if it hasn't already done so -that he's going to have to "pull a spectacular" (to use a bit of provo parlance) to get people to pay attenion to why he's doing this. That's when a lot of people could get hurt by this guy.

No, his sabotage days are over.

Olympic marathon saboteur: 'My last stunt'
The defrocked Irish priest who sabotaged the Olympic Marathon vowed today that his illegal stunt days are over.
Horan, a former Catholic priest who says he is highlighting the “second coming of Christ”, pledged never to pull off a similar prank again.
He said: “I have done it twice now and I do not want to do it again.
“I promise never to do it again because it could damage my mission and it could land me in jail.”

Why? The media will still refer to him as an "Irish priest".

Excellent all-in-one defence of FF and Kerry.
KOH
No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
That's one point i hadn't actually considered. The loss of the medal could fúck the athlete up big time over the next 10 years, and at the end of his career if he has no gold, he'll be blaming that mad fella from Kerry.
I think all pitch invaders during matches/events are cúnts anyway-i mean what is the point? Anyone who does it obviously has attention defecit disorder or was abused as a child.
Sure the Sicilians are amateurs compared to your lot Conor.

A new twist on the drugs issue so. Someone bringing shame on the games for not taking Drugs.
The truth fears no questions...

[QUOTE=Colm]It's the old stereotypical 'Father Ted' type image of Ireland, a drunken Irish priest disrupts olympic event in order to spread some bizarre religious belief of his. How embarrassing this is.
It's hard to have any sympathy for this guy. He may be mentally disturbed but he flew all the way to Greece to deliberately make a nuisance of himself and then spent the afternoon of the race drinking in a local taverna before going out and possibly costing an athlete the gold medal he trained for years to achieve.
He should have been stopped at Heathrow. Surely he must be on some sort of blacklist after his actions at the Grand Prix yet it didn't set off any alarm bells when he was flying to another major sporting event. A serious lapse in security there I'd say.[/QUOTE
Bla Bla Bla.... quit being the PC arse bandit every day of your life.
Serious lapse in security......not as if he's wanted by the hague.
Highlight of the whole three weeks
Never eat yellow snow!!
He's actually not been defrocked by his dioscese in London, just banned from serving mass or the public in general....the guy is scum in my opinion.I firmly do not believe him to be as 'nuts' as he's trying to portray himself, but simply trying to look this way to beat child abuse charges. He has already spent some time on remand, and apparently it didn't go down too well with him.
I would have him down as smart, cunning manipulative and perverted.

interesting angle there,
i suppose the courts have legal & medical experts to see through this kind of behaviour.
whatever about the marathon episode if he touched up kids he deserves to fry.
The Brazilian lad is 34 or 35 so he's unlikely to get another crack at it.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Forgetting all the irish embarishment think of how that brazilian athlete must have felt. Maybe he wouldn't won the race but the marathon is difficult enough without been interrupted by a nutter. If he sane he should be jailed, if insane committed.
If he was charged with child abuse,surley his passport would have been taken away?
And yet every time it comes to the church, it's only madmen like this who make the headlines.
For example, Fr Shay Cullen, an Irish priest working in the Phillipines, has campaigned fearlessly for years against the sexual exploitation of children, freeing them from the sex tourist industry. His life has been in danger more times than anyone has a right to expect, and yet people and others like him hardly ever grab the news because a) It's not particularly funny, and B) It seems like no one cares that much. There are thousands of young people, rescued from the hell of child prostitution thanks to his bravery and courage, and yet if we're going to see a story about the church on TV then it better be a paedo hurling himself in front of donkeys or something or we don't want to know.
Right. I'll calm down now and put the kettle on.As you were.

I think hes great anyway.
On the charge - Its gross indecency - He flashed a kid 20 years ago and its just been reopened(the case). Thats one thing
But on the other exhibitions - hes class. He encompassed everything that the Olympics stands for. Citius, Altius, Fortius. Swifter - you need to be fast to avoid a F1 car , Higher - medication , Stronger - knocked the leader and a great athlete 5 foot into the air.
Id go as far as to say that hes better than Clinton Morrison at getting around defences. He ran faster than 90% of our olympic team and in non aerodynamic gear and he got a message across for the Popular Peoples Front of Judea.
Ireland 2 Brazil 0
Brady '88
Horan '04
And with all that said. Who'll be laughing if the man's prophecy comes through. Like, whos to say that Moses wasnt f*&ked out of Greece at the first Olympics for ranting and raving and accidently standing on Achilles ankle when he was on his way to Marathon?
Eh Eh EH ?
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
OK, yes, for pure entertainment value then he's the badgers nadgers. Still feel sorry for the poor s*d he ruined the Olympics for, though.
We really shouldn't encorage him though. He's obviously mad as a sackfull of boiling weasels, the poor man. Whatever he's done he's utterly hatstand and is more to be pitied than mocked. If only it weren't so funny...

I was disgusted when I saw that fcuking gimp grabbing your man in the race.The pr**k should be locked up or shot,one or the other.I was gutted for the Brazilian runner,I really was.It's one thing walking out on a formula 1 track and not effecting anything accept a few faint hearted stewards.I actually had a good laugh when I saw the formula 1 incident,but to jump on a man who is too weak to defend himself after running 20 odd miles and almost has the gold in sight made me sick.
I only wish it had been a Greek athelete in the lead of the marathon.Suspended sentence me arse,he'd have been locked up for life.
I had a good laugh after the Grand Prix incident alright.Only a Kerry man could be out on a Formula 1 track trying to hitch a spin to mass.
