Tom Humphries thread

Two and a half years ffs.

Scandalously lenient.

Ridiculous short term.
Wonder would that sentence be the norm for such crimes?

Poor victim and family must feel sick

Just saw a recent clip of Tom there on RTE news now. I’d say youd get good odds on him not being around in 2 and a half years. He is one good steak dinner away from an obituary.

Is anyone really surprised by the leniency here? Our judiciary have always been soft on nonces.

Send @Rocko a PM there with your size. Well done

:joy:

Frank Murphy will retire in 2018. Donal Cusack will manage Cork in 2020. Tom Humphries will be a selector and do we have anyone in mind for the S&C role?

the gga got their man a light sentence

You’ve that nicely teed up…

The Irish Times looked after Humphry here.

Congrats to Finatn O’Toole, Hugh Linihan, Una Mullaly, Conor Pope, ye must be pissing yourselves at this sentence.

has his gga club commented about what happened under their watch

The Irish Times already beginning the rehab. Utterly bizarre.

That’s a rather strange article. Trying to make him out as a controversial figure. And their examples are beyond weird - he didn’t criticise Hickey because he was a northsider. It’s not exactly indicative of a wildly divisive figure.

Shocking article.
Essentially ---- Tom is a great man…paragraph at end about recent case.

Awful

Strange article, strange timing. Hard to get the head around it.

With street urchin instincts :grinning:

What the fuck is that about? If you didn’t know better you’d assume it was an obituary commemorating the life of a celebrated divisive character. The media in this country are gas fuckers.

That is a very, very, strange article to run on today of all days.
The light sentencing, the tributes in the paper, the character references from former colleagues, it’s almost like the establishment are being apologetic to him over the whole thing.

What compelled the IT to print this on today of all days?
