One lad has already gotten a month in jail over the incident. He was in and out within a few hours.
@CillDioma whatās with the interchangeable use of Ballyoshea and Ballyashea. I would always have known it as the former but it was only when looking at old maps recently I saw it was the latter.
That fellow pleaded though? Kyle has rolled the dice and has been convicted by a jury of his peers of a crime that carries a maximum 10 year sentence. Heāll do well to avoid jail time.
@Kyle is officially in the clear folks. @ChairmanDan is notoriously poor at calling the Paddy legal system since #GolfGate. Heās the biggest Jonah there is. The @lazarus of legality. As a law abiding citizen i have to say Iām sick to learn of this development. A suspended sentence it is.
SENTENCE was deferred at Manchester Crown Court yesterday in a case in which the Tipperary county hurler, John Leahy, was charged with striking a Manchester United fan in the face with a glass, causing permanent scarring.
Leahy (26), from Tipperary, pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding Stephen Dow, who lives in Limerick. Mr Downey suffered a gaping wound to his face. Leahy is one of the best known hurlers at county level and has won a host of honours, including All Ireland championship in 1989 and 1991.
Judge David Hodson deferred sentence for six months and told Leahy that a good report on his behaviour during the period of deferment would save him from jail.
