I find it hard to imagine that many will bother buying this effort. The dogs in the street know what went on, the duplicitous tales of illness and indeed the final chapter. It’s surprising that her husband, the national version of @TreatyStones, wasn’t able to tell her that the wind was against her when she started this effort.
I’m envisioning the pair of them being a couple like Harm Luijkx and Joanna Donnelly endlessly poring over charts and flow charts.
Stephen Graham is made for playing the role of DJ
Funny how Paul Williams’s protégé mentally implodes. It was in the script. Crazy how the state hasn’t produced a gutsy investigative crime journalist since V Guerin. Every so called journo since then solely relying on a few contacts within the constabulary to feed them a few titbits to bolster their salary instead of building contacts within the underworld, inner city flat complexes, prisons and gangs. Spineless, and an embarrassment to the profession.
And alive.
Do you really think so? I don’t. It’s a sad story of a great sportsman being a wrong 'un. It isn’t the most extraordinary Irish sports story ever I don’t think. He just loved money, and an a-lister lifestyle, but wouldn’t put in the work required, so he stole from the dazzled and the vulnerable and the genuinely kind.
What happened to the business, and what influence he had on the hotel lady losing all her money would be interesting. How on earth he was some lothario is beyond me completely, and a sad state of affairs (so to speak).
It’s not really. If you are an intercounty player from a top county you have the same status as a premiership footballer (witbout the financial benefits). Some women, not all will throw themselves at these lads at work, clubs bars etc. They are attracted to the trip abroads, the media profile, the all star banquets etc.
I know, but I find it genuinely hard to understand why a girl would care. I can see that it might put a lad in the window, but no more than that. The premiership footballer I can understand because if a girl can land one she need probably never worry about financial security again, but riding an IC GAA player just because they are an IC GAA player seems bizarre.
There surely can’t be that many fringe benefits. A free chicken dinner and a room overlooking the car park at the Burlington? Wtf like ?
I am reminded of the wexford hurler who said he would need a new mickey after winning the all ireland.
It’s not all it’s cut out to be. Trust me.
Yeah and gaa status would mean nothing to the likes of that rich successful English one Sarah Newman either. Dj must have played with a 38 inch hurl
He played her like a fiddle.
‘The Dodger’ is cockney rhyming slang for ‘Todger’ btw.
That might clear up some of the mystery.
I think you have just given the reasons why it is such an extraordinary story yourself…
They’re usually fitter and more muscular than your average Irish male to be fair. Although that doesn’t apply in the case of a middle aged DJ Carey.
Sentencing day tomorrow. Today could possibly be DJ’s last full day of liberty for some time.
Last day with that phone charger
Has been told.to bring his toothbrush with him?
