For our international readers and recent immigrants confused about this thread, for "scumbag" read: anyone from a council estate. You're welcome.

It's nothing to do with class. It's about how you act, mcgregor acts like a scumbag.

Really? He robs people, burgles houses, and is involved in anti-social behaviour?

Or is it because he smack talks his opponents, like almost every other fighter does before fights, to promote the fight?

The petty snobbery in Ireland must really confuse recent migrants to here.

Boards.ie seems to just be a magnet for it, it's fairly uncommon in my circles or my locals. Middle class with delusions of grandeur, probably, and maybe a couple of teenage working class who think they're above it all.

If you go down to the street today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the streets today
You'd better go in disguise.

For ev'ry knack that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy boys have their picnic.

Ev'ry teddy boy who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of fried food to eat
And Xbox games to play.

Beneath the eaves where nobody sees
They'll drink and drug as long as they please
Cause that's the way the teddy boys have their picnic.

If you go down to the streets today
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the streets today
But safer to stay at home.................

If its a windup it has been going on for about 15 years here. Funny how you never meet these 'scumbag' obsessed weirdos in real life, they'd all **** themselves if they were forced to detail their views to a real person with a Dublin accent.

He's trolling around for ages. Just ignore the guy.

McGregor has done terrible damage to the Louis Copeland brand.

Roddy Collins beat him to that feat by over a decade!

It would've only taken 15 if he'd have used proper paragraphs.
