How do you know the brusing wasnt inflected later by a scorned lover?
The DPP might know what they are doing. Weâll just have to trust them. If they felt they had a good shot at conviction Iâm sure they would have gone for it.
Both defendants are claiming it was all consensual, they were just discussing it on the Last Word.
id imagine that some of the evidence admissable here wont hve been admissable in a criminal trial. secondly, id say the seed will be planted that the boyfriend, furious with her at being with mcgregor, inflicted at least some of the bruises.
Jesus thatâs terrible. And Iâm talking about what the girl could have went through, not starting a sentence with a lower case letter.

Exactly. Iâd say thereâs a fair chunk of evidence that @jellyfish is leaving out that he wouldnât if it was a criminal case.
Iâm just discussing the evidence as reported on the radio and in the Irish Times, I donât know what has been left out due to the fact it has been left out.
What âreputationâ does McGregor have to even lose? For many years now his appeal has only been to âdeplorablesâ. Being a rapist certainly doesnât lose you support in these people eyeâs, it may increase his worth in his fanâs eyes or they can bat away everything with âconspiraseeeeâ.
MMA is a very toxic, right wing world anyway, but I imagine McGregorâs turn towards far right politics has been prompted by the knowledge he has skeletons in his closet. People with something to hide especially sexual crime turn towards the far right because it offers an all powerful propaganda machine as protection. Youâll never be cancelled by the far right for being a rapist if youâve pledged your allegiance to them. Russell Brand is a great example of this pipeline.

I agree that he doesnât have much of a reputation, I guess Iâm wondering will the likes of Wetherspoons stop selling his stout and things like that. Iâm guessing any run at President here is thankfully out the window. The last few Presidential campaigns here have been vicious so imagine how bad it could get for a scumbag like him when more stuff comes out.
Would McGregor actually make very much at all off that stout? Itâs not as if its widely available or widely drunk or ever will be. Seems to me to be a vanity project or just a way to portray himself as a âbusinessmanâ with a view to becoming a political figure. âConor McGregor - MMA fighter and businessman/employer/entrepreneurâ etc.
You wouldnât know about whether heâll run for President or not. He mightnât this time because he probably has too much money to make in the US. I reckon he could pull 25-30% of the vote if he ran. Heâll go for it at some stage anyway because a planet sized ego has to be satisfied. There will be a far right candidate in the presidential election though and McGregor will be on board with that candidate whether itâs him or not.
McGregorâs problem if did go next year would be getting nominated. If he did get a nomination, his cult would flock to vote for him. Heâd get big support in working class areas. His problem would be attracting âmiddle Irelandâ. Middle Ireland wouldnât vote for McGregor, not because they wouldnât silently agree with the racism he would unleash, but because itâs too overt, but also because he has a thick Dublin accent and middle Ireland doesnât like gobby jackeens. He wouldnât attract the same vote as Peter Casey. Most of Caseyâs vote was made up of rural middle Irelanders of 35 plus who are racist but think theyâre not racist.
Whether McGregor wins or loses this case, his popularity with his supporters will likely only go up because itâs a cult. And whether he wins or loses, I expect heâll use the outcome as an excuse to go to war on the Irish state from his Twitter account, with his messaging carefully crafted by US far right operatives. If he wins the case, heâll say it proves the Irish establishment are out to get him. If he loses, itâll the same, and heâll apparently have been the victim of a conspiracy.
Yer man should have quipped back to McGregor: âIâd like to apologise to youâŚFOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHINâ WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!â
Its a stain on this Country and a reflection of where the world is that this gobshite is the most recognised Irish person today.

Whatâs that about?
He would in his bollox get 25 to 30pc of the vote ffs! Possibly at the very height of his career when people had Im backing conor on their Facebook profile pic but now? Absolutely no chance hed even get 5pc. Heâs roundly despised even in working class Dublin.

Agree. He is generally recognised for what he is now. A nasty cunt.

Heâs an embarrassment to the country. Sure loads of the lads trying to go to the US for his fights routinely get refused entry to the country and donât make it out of Dublin Airport. Thatâs the type who follow him.

Good idea but the US wonât have them, maybe McGregor needs to do something in Dubai. Anything goes over there.
