Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

@Sidney

Kevin, you’re posting unsubstantiated rumours about dead people you didn’t know. That’s the sum of it. And now you’re justifying it by claiming that the members of the families of these dead people would actually want you to spread these unsubstantiated rumours about them.

Not unsubstantiated.

[caoimhaoin]

Some epic hypocrisy from some posters here.

Alcohol to blame for at least 2 of them.

Much as im breaking out in a rash agreeing with @myboyblue[/USER] and @[USER=109]Mac, they are right in this case kev and you are in the wrong and by using the innuendo in tbe way you did you are casting aspersions on all of the above names and not just the 2 you allege drank tbemselves to death

There is no innuendo. It is Egan andPaudi. It’s was really matter if fact in my own head. I presumed everyone knew and I didn’t have to be incredibly specific about everything. MBB’s typical irish response irked me.

By your own admission it’s unsubstantiated.

Did everybody know Paddy Cullen was Mr. X?

Everybody in every pub in Dublin circa 1993/94 thought they did. But the rumour was completely untrue.

Here, fuck off with this shit. You were a fucking idiot in this instance, it was a thick as dogshit thing to say about 4 men who have passed away and its not just me who’s said it. Go fuck yourself with your attempts to crawl away from it. If you were any kind of a man you’d apologise and move on but once again you’d be happier claim you’re right than do the decent thing and admit you’re wrong.

You’re some sad case. Wait to see the way the wind is blowing then row in all guns blazing with your moral indignation. You make my skin crawl you spineless vile toad.

Get to fuck I was the first to pull this up :rolleyes:

Appreciate it and all, but I don’t need any back up cheers.

The horse was a massive drinker too by all accounts. Alcohol must have been a contributary factor in all three surely. Sad to see 1/5 of the greatest team of all time gone well before they should have. It’s one of the prices of success in small town Ireland. Easy develop and sustain a problem when everyone’s default response to meeting you is to buy you a pint.

On Paidi - did he not die of a heart attack?

You’ll probably say this was as a result of drink but I haven’t heard any evidence of that.

I have heard the stories about him being a legendary drinker as well, but this doesn’t mean that because he died relatively young it was because of drink. I have heard loads of stories of people I know and don’t know being legendary drinkers and they live a full and fruitful life. He was certainly a very active man in terms of training teams, politics and public engagements.

Fair enough, believe what you want. But I know for a fact there was more than one visit to tabor lodge. Now why would someone go there? What else causes heart attacks to relatively young men? It can be the stress of try to support other ailing organs. Alcohol drives up blood pressure etc. I can’t believe this has to be spelt out.

I’m not trying to degrade any if the mans achievements, and there were incredible. We all have issues, in Ireland drink is a ridiculous issue. The safety of being at home and the fact tht so many people drink heavily kinda play’s it as acceptable in Ireland.

It should be treated the same way smoking is. You ask any cop or doctor what the biggest issue in Ireland is and they’ll tell you drink. Not drugs or anything else, it’s drink.

Usually The only ones who cop it are the unfortunate ones who see devestation up close. Or the smart ones who kept it balanced always.
