A BOY who broke his hand playing football at a soccer academy weekend won more than €12,000 in damages yesterday.

The 10-year-old broke his wrist when a Glasgow Celtic coach hit a ball at him, the Circuit Civil Court heard. Eoin Forde's dream soccer academy weekend in July 2008 ended in agony, a judge was told.

Barrister Victoria Barrett said Eoin, of Effernock Manor, Dublin Road, Trim, Co Meath, had been attending a soccer camp at Tully Park, Summerhill Road, Trim, when he was injured.

Ms Barrett said the boy, now 12, was playing goalie when a coach kicked a football at him and fractured his right wrist.

She told Circuit Court President, Mr Justice Matthew Deery, that Eoin was shaken by the injury and the damaged bone in his wrist had been manipulated into place under general anaesthetic.

His wrist was placed in a plaster for three weeks and he had since made a full recovery.

Eoin, through his father Ian, had sued Celtic FC Limited, Celtic Park, Glasgow, and Topflight Sports for Schools Limited, which organises player academies and trades as Topflight Soccer at Jervis Street, Dublin.

The judge approved of a settlement offer of €12,440 and costs made on behalf of both defendants and directed the money be paid into court funds until Eoin reaches the age of 18.

The fact that he was playing in goals is the worst part!

I think he's cool. For too long, disabled people on television have be portrayed as nice people, that sit in the background doing nothing. This fella is a bit of a dick and isn't meant to be all that nice.

What you mean is 'he is a horny bugger like me'

People who write text messages with key 'beep' sounds on...
Especially the ones where the beeps are all different like a touch tone phone and they don't use predictive text so it takes them 20 minutes to say 'hi'.

People who end every sentence with 'hi'.

Or 'boy' for that matter.

The 4 dipshits that were throwing rubbish out of their car driving through picturesque Knockmore and Pontoon today and then flicking cigs into to the bogs near Ross. Then they overtook like lunatics at Claddagh Woods, the fannypacks     

[EagleLord]

Hopefully they crashed.

Hanging the clothes on the line, but its that windy you have to use about 20 pegs for every item.

Then you are siting inside wondering whether the "20 peg theory" has failed and your clothes are blowing halfway around the country and have to keep looking out the window every feckin 5 minutes.

Which would more than likely mean they would injure some innocent person in the process

The green party and everything about them, also the turf cutting ban in raised bogs in the west of Ireland, again the small man getting screwed, (BNM valuation of bog 235k p/a, Govt. 3000 p/a) while Bord na Mona can cut away hundered of acres of bog some of it raised every year without any EU directives affecting them.The west of Ireland is a live vibrant area, not to be turned into some preservation reserve by D4 heads and their ilk. Rural people understand their environment and its limitations and have managed it quite successfully for generations, If the D4 tree huggers want to have an imput in to the west, move down here and be a part of the area, not just issuing dictats to the "stupid country pumpkins/ peasants" who they think know no better. No more, thanks.
