Will Jamie Moore quit Spain?

After getting shot at the villa of a leading drug gangster Jamie can't go on turning a blind eye to his new "friends" in Spain.
A bullet has a funny way of taking all the glamour away.
The game is up. No longer can he say he was just "socialising with friends".
He can now no longer deny that he knows what these people are about.
Neither can Matt Macklin.
If they stay associated with these people they will lose a lot of fans and lose credibility. They will probably also suffer career damage too. Hopefully both men see sense here.

 

It's baffling to me. I know the gutter press in this country probably exaggerate things but there is no denying that Matt Macklin has been in company with these people on numerous occasions.
This crowd are allegedly responsible for the bulk of the drugs in this country (Ireland) and are seemingly literally global level players in the drugs industry. All the muggings assaults, break ins human misery etc that stem from that.

I know that as newcomers to Spain, being young, the sunshine, the holiday atmosphere etc the appeal of hanging out with other ex pats etc it is probably tempting to get sucked into things you wouldn't do at home. Also over there in the sunshine Jamie and Matt don't see the blood on the streets back in Ireland. But where do Jamie and Mack think the Villa came from? The money?

Why anyone would want to be associated with this is beyond me. Least of all Matt, who is a decent guy, pleasant etc intelligent, articulate well educated. He has lots of good people around him too. Isn't his sister a solicitor? He is pally with some of the best hurlers in Ireland too. I know it's hard to confront a grown man about the way he conducts himself but Surely at least some of these decent people in his circle must have said "er..Matt...can I have a word.....

 

See, thats the thing Lirva. How could Macklin NOT "really understand" what he was dealing with? The dogs in the street know about there guys. Maybe, just maybe, if it was fighters like Murray or Barker you could give 'em a "fools pardon" - not the sharpest those two, bless 'em. But Mack is no way stupid. Far from it.

As for Barry Hearn and SKY - surprisingly - even amazingly - it seems that Jamie and Mack have "dodged a bullet" career-wise, at least for now. (If you'll forgive the awful pun) Hearn is talking of rescheduling the cancelled bill. Remember Jamies fledgling broadcasting career with Sky is at risk here too.
Hope it all sorts itself out.

 

Ok. Firstly Mack has spent more time in Ireland than many Paddys do.
He has played our National Sport - Hurling - to a very high standard. He is as expert as anyone else on all things Irish.

Secondly - these guys are not just some small time Paddy Palookas. This is an international syndicate with global reach. This goes way beyond the Irish underworld.
