Fahey's Fingers

**Sniffer** · 07/10/2006, 3:42 PM

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but what was that all about. He's a nice player, is he related to Joey Barton?

**Strabane_Harp** · 07/10/2006, 3:46 PM

u could work for the sun with headline writing like that

**Sniffer** · 07/10/2006, 3:54 PM

I just like the sound of it

**Poor Student** · 07/10/2006, 3:56 PM

The Sun and the Indo both have a caption of Fahey's two fingered salute. They both have the caption "Fahey celebrating". What's the point? Either have the balls to talk about what he's doing or don't show the pic.

**Sniffer** · 07/10/2006, 4:24 PM

Saw it in the Star...thought it was a stock photo at first because the report and caption made no comment; bizarre stuff from our moral henchmen.

Am I the only one who saw a thread entitled "Fahey's Fingers" started by "Sniffer" and shuddered?

Getting stick from Drogheda fans for ten minutes leading up to the goal, scored and replied. See nothing wrong with it myself.

Only thing that ****es me off is opposing players running to taunt fans, Fahey did this 60-70 yards from Drogheda fans. Best free kick I've seen in this league too

two fingers to Paul Doolin who sacked him after a training ground bust up at Drogheda. That and a 35 yard free sending Doolin the perfect riposte.

Fck you Doolin.

That was the sweetest revenge for the happenings in our two previous games.

**Dodge** · 07/10/2006, 6:42 PM

Nah it was directed at the fans, check your PMs on the Pats board

**Paddyfield** · 07/10/2006, 7:17 PM

Aha. When I saw the photo, I figured that he must've scored twice

Very simple really. Drogheda fans chanted "Alco, alco" every time Fats went near the ball. Fats smacked in a thirty-yard free and subsequently gave Doolin and the Drogheda fans the fingers as a fairly comprehensive f�ck-you riposte. Anyone having hysterical hissy-fits over his gesture should simply tell themselves "If you can't take it, don't give it."

If it makes any Drogheda fans feel any better, consider this: if youse hadn't been abusing Fats, would he have been riled up enough to fire in that free? Probably not. Therefore your chanting was a direct cause of youse going 1-0 down.

Sometimes the poetic justice of football is just magic.

Nonesense. Kevin Deery is. Has been proving it all season - both domestically and in Europe.

See no problem with anything said there - and majority of drogs would 100% agree also I reckon!! Don't think many drogs will be crying over it - would hate to think were turning into the l@ngers!!

Still hope he gets hit with a fine or suspension though

**robbieos88** · 08/10/2006, 1:47 PM

Any Drogheda fan who was offended by that get a life, yous got just what you deserved. What a free kick

saw a free he got v gretna (was it?)

any others this season?

fats has two pearlers since his return from Drogs (and fairly certain he got at least one or maybe 2 others from frees in his time there - at drogs)

In any case no way was deerys in the same league as the beaut he hit on friday

Faheys free-kick, not too sure about Scully's "you wouldn't get that anywhere in the world" comments though!

I'll have the one vs Shels up in a few minutes hopefully.

Deery's goal vs Gretna is in this:
