Ollie Byrne's Assault Appeal Successful?

**A face** · 11/12/2005, 12:54 PM

Ollie Byrne's assault appeal against the €2000 fine handed down to him for the incident at Tolka Park earlier in the year involving the Drogheda photographer has been successful.

What is going on here .... is it now OK to assault members of the media ??
What kind of a message are they sending to people in the league ??

This is copy of the refs report.

No, just that it didn't happen. And I've heard from many who were there at the time it didn't, people I'd trust too and who would be far from blind Ollie followers.

Dublin teams?!?

Rovers lost 8 points that the EL had no right to take away and ourselves and bores have been on the recieving end of preposterous fines.

Its one rule for shels was the phrase you were looking for.

What happened to the charges Roddy pressed? Still in the pipeline I would assume.

Love the way people who weren't there, and didn't see anything, just assume guilty and start moaning.

I was there , it did happen and after Oily realised what he had done he set about getting others to cover -up what had happened. Thats it in a nutshell. Facts not proven.

Are you serious? Ye didn't deserve the 8 point deduction? FFS ye were lucky to get away with just that

im not opening this can of worms again, if you need the full speel feel free to PM me, but regardless of deserving it or not, it was not a sanction the FAI/EL were entitled to hand out. and bear in mind it was the 400c who told the FAI about the problem, and if magoo had submitted the correct info we would have got the licence easily. upshot is we finished 8th in the league and are in the 1st.

so if you think its dublin clubs getting away with it

reality is olly knows the rule book inside out and has severe clout in the committees and isnt afraid to use those contacts for evil, like here.

the world and its wife knows he milled that photographer, but if the charge isnt 100% airtight, he walks. again.

Do eircom League clubs have grounds to ban him from their grounds in case something like this happens there. Appeal or no appeal, we all know the guy attacked him ..... and he is getting away with it, it would be ok if he didn't get away with it but now the guy will think he can do anything at this stage and not have to answer to anyone.

As there were no witnesses to the No. 1 Hooligan assaulting the Tosser, then it's the No. 1 Hooligans word against the word of the Tosser.
The Hooligan cut his forehaed shaving and the Tosser didn't like the free shirt that Louis gave him, so he ripped it off.
This one will turn out like the others, a nil all draw.

Love the way a moderator (who like countless others wasn't there!) is allowed to spew this nonsense. Thats like me saying I saw Rico in bed with a 12 year old, its absolute cack. You don't know anything. You think he did it, fair enough - but sheesh, try to get a grasp of the meaning of the words.
