Noel Twomey told the court that Mr O’Leary had been drinking shots and beer in the bar and was very drunk. He said that when he left the toilets, he merely congratulated the team on staying up and claimed that Mr O’Leary reacted to this with “a tirade of abuse”. He claimed that Mr O’Leary said: “You’re the bollix who's been bad mouthing the team,” and said that he was angry because he had not picked Mr Twomey’s nephew for the team.
