Journalist investigated over teenage girl thread

For reasons I don’t want to go into at the moment this thread has been removed from the forum.

There was some decent debate in there and if people want to continue the idea of the debate I have preserved a couple of the later posts that can be restored for the purposes of hypothetical debate. There were some people who took offence at the thread and at elements of its contents and contacted the site to have it removed. It’s not anybody associated with the case itself but I’d no choice but to respect the request.

I suppose things have to change here across the board really (about time we all matured a little at least) as the site is coming up in many searches (national sports topics in particular) in recent months and has quite a bit of notoriety now. People even googling local club games in the GAA have found it. So i suppose with more popularity comes more responsibility.

Yeah to be fair the debate was actually quite mature and people generally stuck to the alleged facts of the incident.

Ya, but there has been far far worse stuff said on here that simply weren’t true at all over the years. I’m not just talking about this particular case.

Kev, your “contribution” to the debate was to call for the suspect to not be allowed kill himself and for him to rot in jail. Along with personally insulting me.
Bit rich coming on saying we all need to mature.

You insulted everyone with an ounce of decency with your comments, not too bothered if you felt insulted to be honest. I stand by comments were the alleged incidents to have taken place, but agree i should have waited for the events to be proven first in a court of law, and i indicated as such.

so kev needs to mature but 14 year old girls in austria and germany dont ?

That’s actually hilarious.

You’re a great man for twisting things, Art :rolleyes:
I don’t know what Kev, needs, to be honest with you. And I’m not sure I want to either.

Nah, it isn’t that funny.

What i need now anyway is a stretch, had a tough training last night, and maybe a sandwich as well.

+1

im toning down my earlier stances-my crusade against the gga will solely be due to it been rural & not popular from now on

huzzah

:popcorn:

Does that mean the banter cooefficient on this site will collapse? I always assume the only people reading this site are Runt, Dunph and a few fellas in Fingal/Wexford and it doesn’t matter in the real world. Is there anyway we could return the site to its parochial and insular roots?

There’s plenty of message boards one can only read by registering. Why not do that here? It might even serve to get a few of those pesky guests to register and start posting.

There is ya, you just throw in a few latin phrases there that you got off the Internet and everyone will fawn around at your feet and twill be great fun altogether. Shure isn’t that what this place is all about?

Why would they register if they can’t see what they’re missing?

Curiousity Rocko, people are generally nosey bastards.

Not feeling the love Cian?

We think you’re great too.

People like to lurk. If they have to register and sign in to lurk they may very well start posting too.

Nah just an odd fella gettin on me tits, pretty much enjoying things otherwise. How’re things your end?

It really is thrilling to see you are still seething to within an inch of your life. :lol: Smouldering away with all your bitterness because you have nailed your flag to the mast of ignorance and self loathing and you find yourself where you are now. Nowheresville. It must be killing you, it really must be absolutely eating you up. Run along now, surely some street corner is going to fall down if you don’t get back to leaning up against it.
