DJ Carey

[Vladimir The Bear]

The ski lodge is what sunk Newman, hard not to feel sorry for her in hindsight, you can only imagine the layers of deceit she was subjected to

I believe she was confronted by a friend of DJs who had been ripped off thinking that she was in on the scam as well. Think it had something to do with car.
She's supposed to have got an awful shock and when she questioned Carey she realised their whole life had been a lie.

Looking back on that time now isn't it mad the narrative that was spun about how different the Cork and Kilkenny teams of the noughties were. The Cork team were seen as media whores, Donal Og and Sean Og continously seen as courting controversy by pushing the GPA and Cork seen as agitators and maybe there was some truth to it.

But looking at footage of DJ Carey presenting No Frontiers last night in 2004 while still a player for Brian Cody was absolutely mind boggling and I can't believe we all forgot that he had sponsorship with Puma, McCoys crisps. Henry Shefflin had high profile ads with Lucosade and Energise as well as a controversial advert that was pulled with red bull.

We were always fed this narrative by the media that Cody's teams were holier then thou and everything was about hurling and hurling only and Cody wouldn't tolerate anyone putting their head above the parapet whereas the truth is his Kilkenny players courted the GPA and media attention every bit as much as the any other team.

Also one last point. There has been rumours doing the rounds about Carey in the hurling world with well over a decade or 15 years. If someone like me, down in Cork was hearing them despite some people in Kilkenny closing ranks and brushing it under the carpet then the Kilkenny County board and Brian Cody were definitely after hearing them. With that in mind wasn't it a very strange decision for Kilkenny to bring Carey in as their U21 manager in 2018 and 2019 and for Cody to ask him to be a selector in 2020 for the seniors.

Not for one moment insinuating there was any wrongdoing on their part, just saying it's incredible how much they had their heads buried in the sand.

GPA also with big questions to answer giving him €30k. Would seriously want to be a proper independent review into that.

Was saying this to friends last pm. Dogs in the street knew what Carey was up to at this stage. It was referred to over weekend that lads in KK would get a warning text or call from friends saying "Carey is doing a ring-around again"!
Were Cody and others in KK County board hoping that he'd just cop on and stop the messing if given bit of responsibility with County team?? Ignore the unpleasantness and it'll all go away - Stepford Wives-esque!!!

I wonder how much did J P Mc Manus give him he was the main attraction at his golf classics
I saw him playing with Tony Mc Coye and R buy Walsh at one of them
I was only a spectator

Outstanding work JeepY, theres something delicious about it being a KK player. I'm sure their collective arrogance is taking a battering, long may it last

Anyway, he could give the medals to his trustworthy sister for safe keeping while he's inside.. oh, wait!


By the way, i presume you are recalling his scoring record against us in AI finals? 1-1 from a penalty and a free in one, and no score in another.. a great lad to lash 2-20 over against laois

This has been regularly mentioned. They hate it. So I do it more.

Theres nothing for AIB to answer, like it or not those debt write downs were common place at the time in dealing with the crash, he is one of thousands who would have secured one for right or wrong

The ski lodge is what sunk Newman, hard not to feel sorry for her in hindsight, you can only imagine the layers of deceit she was subjected to

Why is the writing down of was it 99%? of a debt nothing to answer for? If it was a multi-millionaire who could well afford it was leaving yer man off with 1% pay back you'd tip yer hat to him, but if it was public money - and afaik AIB were wholly owned by the tax-payers of Ireland at the time - then surely there can and should be proper investigation into such huge write downs while in other cases people were losing their homes or lives when they could no longer take the pressures of having to repay a mortgage. I've seen a figure of 2.5M paid to a bank for a debt of 15M - that's nearly 17% payback, as distinct from 1% payback

Your "nothing to see here" mantra regarding humungously high write downs on extremely large debts is weird imho.

Of course they were hearing them - and that's why Kilkenny man Phil Hogan cutely said for Carey to give him the bank details of whatever charity or hospital Carey wanted him to contribute to. Needless to say, cute boy Phil Hogan never heard from Conman Carey again.

I have no idea what the detail of his exact case was, all I said is that those write downs were common at the time due to widespread issues with people meeting their repayment terms. I didn't benefit from anything like this personally but it's one of those things we have to accept as part of getting people back on their feet again. We could revisit every single one of them to see if they were all fair if you want I suppose but it will change nothing at all

If DJs one was judged to be unusually lenient - what then? He has no assets or ability to repay anything now so Hand him a cup and tell him to go begging again?

Do you think it right and proper that some people were pressurised each and every day about repayments, while others owing far far more, were allowed write down their debts to the same bank? I certainly don't.

People in this country unfortunately felt they'd no other option but to take their own lives such was the financial pressure they were put under, and then there were c*nts like Carey, playing on people's heart strings, claiming he had a terminal illness, who was given huge latitude.

Personally, I think it would be a very good exercise to see under what criteria was Carey given such a huge write down. And if others were or weren't given the same percentage write down under similar circumstances. And who made such decisions and what was their reasoning.

If it was a privately run company and one of the managers decided to write off a large debt of a customer I'm sure there'd be an investigation at boardroom level asking why such a move was made, and if similar was made to other customers. No?

Hand him a cup and go begging again??? - he got a 30K in just one donation from the GPA subsequently. You can be damn sure he hasn't been starving or homeless the last few years. The c*nt!
