OTB (Off The Ball)

You couldn’t blame McCarron for getting prickly. Gilroy was pulling a hachet job and he had no answer to the charges. The stuff with the bouncer or the forged cheque was terrible as well.

Where can we find this interview? Newstalk is it?

no its not balbec
i had 5 10 mins of it and its just bullshit
i read most of the book tho, i just gave up as it was just exhaustive and its the same rubbish

Just listened to it and found McCarron more likeable than Gilroy.

Just listened to that there.

All I got from it is that Cathal McCarron regrets none of his actions. The book should have been called sorrynotsorry.
The bit where Gilroy listed out all the violent incidents he was involved in and then McCarron goes well it’s hard to just stop doing something you do a lot, had me laughing out loud. The man has some serious issues. But it’s everyone else’s fault.

“My big night out was taken away from me with my family and friends. I’ve been through a lot”

That was the outstanding line from it for me. Fuck off you odious, self-obsessed cunt.

I don’t think you appreciate how sick he was. He was so sick it was unreal.

“We all wanted to believe in your story”.

Gilroy was insinuating Fergus had sex with the 15 year old whereas the line always being peddled was that the just ‘met up’ on a date - it seems Gilroy knows there’s a lot more to the story
Fergus should have left it out of the book if (a) he couldn’t talk about the incident fully (b) his version of events isn’t the full truth

Eh the family statement said that she had to be tested for STD’s given his porn history.

He wasn’t insinuating it though was he. He said it straight out and got a no comment

Very creepy from Gilroy. Weird cunt. He is obviously bored with sports or has just let the Armstrong interview that he stole from the crowd who naively trusted him not to be a thief go to his fat head.
Gilroy was given a go at current affairs broadcasting and had to shuffle his fat hole back to ‘sports’ (move desks) with his tail between his legs. As a failure.

And the family i.e. The girls father, may be over egging things also

A fairly gutless hatchet job too by not having the balls to do it live on air. Let’s record it, see if it works for us, cut parts of it if needs be or play the whole thing if his reaction / responses suit us. Very poor journalism.

Just listened to it there. I know Gilroy is a smug prick but i enjoy the way he makes odious creeps like firstly Lance Armstrong and then McCarron squirm under an uncomfortable line of questioning. He won’t give these cunts a soft ride and for that fair play to him and it’s worth tuning in.

there are a dozen reasons it may not have been done live.

Gilroy choses easy targets. It’s not ground breaking journalism to sit there and ask questions that the whole world knows the answer to.
A lot of usually level headed posters getting slightly carried away here.

I’d like to see Gilroy quiz diarmuid Connolly for example about his anger management issues and list them off like he did with macarrin.
Won’t happen though because Gilroy likes sitting ducks who the public are happy to see taken down.
I’d like to see him quiz rob ‘Robbie’ heffernan about his close relationships with drug cheats.
Again, no chance.
