Sure
Harrison makes a fair point about having no reason to think olding was involved. Excuse about the phone would be lame enough without warning mcilroy. fun for the prosecution ahead

I agree, he wouldn’t have any reason to think Olding was involved I’d say. But if we was there when they got the call to go to the police station, he defo gave them a heads up as he would have known what it was about. Pathetic about the 12th July flutes upstairs message being a joke… what was the joke referring to and what was the “it” referring to in “it wasn’t going to end well.” Taxi being flagged down load of shite too… he had said he called them to the house. Fun times ahead indeed.
The joke about flutes is simple enough… Jackson naked, olding lying with a woman and mcilroy in various states of undress according to his statement and two different statements from complainant.
It’d be perfectly normal to wait for the taxi outside, and give yourself the chance of flagging one…but running out after her looks just as likely
It all points to mcillroy imho
Ah come on.
It’s like us Mexicans making jokes about orange men or whatever.
Absolutely nothing to be read into fellas talking shite. They probably don’t understand the significance of what they are saying and every talks rubbish with their mates, especially at that age.
I have grown a dislike/supicion/wonder about Jackson. I do not think it was rape, still maintain that. But something is not right with him, his story or how he is maybe being protected.
I heard today the lads are being lined up for contracts overseas should all this go “well” for them.

But Olding was dressed and covered with a blanket, and according to Harrison’s police interview, he didn’t see McIlroy at all, thought he’d gone to bed. And apparently he was in bed with Jackson… McIlroy says he told the girl that Harrison was downstairs waiting for a taxi, which Harrison said in his police statement he called the taxi at this stage too. McIlroy called Harrison at 4.52 and messaged him about coming back…so we can take it he had left the house at this stage. Taxi not called til 4.58… girl and Harrison at BP garage at this stage. Why would they not wait in the house for taxi after calling one if all was well? He went after her and called taxi after he left house. It’s not adding up for either him or McIlroy. Jackson also said he went back downstairs, Harrison and McIlroy were in living room and he heard girl leave… looked out the living room window and saw her head off. This absolutely stinks. For all of them. I think we can safely say, aside from any rape allegations or whatever, she did not leave that house calmly as they are making out.

In my opinion, they are all covering for Jackson.
Not volunteering information is not a crime
Taxi nit called until 4.58? According to his phone or the taxi driver?
In most of Belfast volunteering information is a crime. Tell the bastards nuthin
Or nachin
All the character witnesses so far have been for Jackson
Legal issue will mean no more evidence til Monday afternoon.
Not sure. Someone’s phone records.
The taxi driver definitely got the call from the taxi depot
Ya that is certainly something that made me think as to where all the lies and confusion. Seems strange.
Like god forbid they all conspired and he was actually the only one who was with her.
Edit: that could not be the case as she puts Olding in there. 
Harrison called Fonacab at 4.58…
At 4:52am, there was a 54-second call from Blane McIlroy’s phone to Rory Harrison’s phone.
At 4:58am, Rory Harrison calls fonaCAB.
The content of two text messages sent from Rory Harrison to two different numbers, one at 4:59am and one at 5am, were unavailable to the police.
There was a message from Blane McIIroy to Rory Harrison saying, “What’s happening, you coming back here?”
Then at 5:09am, a voice call from Harrison’s mobile to McIlroy lasting two minutes and nine seconds.
It’s amazing how so much of what the chaps messaged to each other was “a joke”. They’re quite the masters of post-modern irony, it would seem.
It’s like their whole chain of text communication was surrealist performance art.

That’s the one from the taxi.
What time was this message sent?
Not sure, I’d guess given the above timeline somewhere around 5am.
Something dodgy was going on. Paddy had wine in for the ladies. Emily has one drink n became ill, complainant had one drink and ends up frozen and unresisting, possibly spaced out… Behaviour of lads would suggest it wasn’t their first time doing this… Hmm
