Replying To superbluedub: "Try not to lose any sleep , its really not a big deal ." It's a strange one though, I can't think of too many reasons why a fella would be stopped entering the US. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 04/07/2019 16:44:38 2205519 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "It's a strange one though, I can't think of too many reasons why a fella would be stopped entering the US." If there was any sort of technical error on his form it would be enough. I've seen that happen to people in US pre clearance in Dublin airport. They are extremely particular, any glitch would be treated seriously He travelled fine last year to the same country so obviously there was some sort of issue as he was cleared by the same authority less than a year before. Pity he couldn't return to play for the club who spoke so highly of his efforts in 2018. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20598 - 04/07/2019 16:59:41 2205532 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "Yea very strange , that you care" This is from the same fella that got berated by a fellow Kerry man for his support of Connolly being singled out for deliberate cynical play targeting by D O'Se in the national print media. Considering what a Kerry player got away with not so long ago.. He made Connolly look like a choir boy jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20598 - 04/07/2019 17:11:39 2205539 Link
He was caught trying to sneak Lee Keegan in, in his pocket by all accounts. ;) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4443 - 04/07/2019 17:14:01 2205540 Link

Replying To TheUsername: "He was caught trying to sneak Lee Keegan in, in his pocket by all accounts. ;)" That was probably the reason. He has spent so long in Keegan's pocket security didn't recognize his passport photo without Keegan's being in the photo tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1103 - 04/07/2019 21:44:41 2205649 Link

Actually there was a slight delay last year as well, i am sure the same poster on here who claims to be part of the inner circle would know that.

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "It's a strange one though, I can't think of too many reasons why a fella would be stopped entering the US." You're obviously very worried that Dermo might get called back into the Dublin panel, that's very understandable considering the damage he's done against you Kerry boys over the last few years, but try not to worry too much it might not happen!

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "It's a strange one though, I can't think of too many reasons why a fella would be stopped entering the US." Rumour has it that US intelligence suspected him of being Al-Qaeda because his shooting was so good. Who even knew that the CIA watched Gaelic football......

I heard yer man from Laois on his podcast convinced someone grassed him to TSA, which is priceless when you think about it. If ye conspiracy theorists can point me to the phone number for the federal agency that deals with thousands of incoming immigrants daily, where I can put an APB on particular Irish men, I'd appreciate it. Truth is, people may not have noticed because I'm sure it doesn't get much coverage outside the US, but there's a president in the White House right now who has sort of nailed his colours to the Immigration flagpole, and so you see a huge tightening of the screws on everyone trying to get into the US right now. I'm sure with his three month stay in Boston last year, that was enough of a red flag for the TSA agent to start throwing shapes. Hell, I have a US passport and when I was returning to the states in April after a short trip home, I got 20 questions before they let me through. Granted, I'm a shady looking yoke, so I can't really complain. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 06/07/2019 00:41:39 2206091 Link
I see you can a discussion on here about Diarmuid Connolly and say all you like, but when a discussion is started about Cillian O'Connor's antics it get's removed, strange that. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2733 - 07/07/2019 15:06:09 2207026 Link

Ya, Tis true for you bud. This place has its favorites alright. Someone in charge should be ashamed of the amount of censorship of posts not allowed. Cowardly stuff above in that place. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 07/07/2019 16:29:54 2207083 Link

I couldn't agree with you more, Connolly was slaughtered by the media for anything he done but yet this thread is basically a rumour mill about a ex player because nobody knows why he didn't come back but yet the other thread is removed about O'connor mightydubs (Dublin) - Posts: 48 - 07/07/2019 16:35:38 2207087 Link
