Official Conor McGregor thread (part 4) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Fromvert

McGregor has shown an interest in 'gangsters' fictional and real before. Quotes Tony Montana, wears Pablo Escobar shirts, dresses as El Chapo and now Martin Cahill. The last one will get more play here obviously.

He's cleary got a fascination with the idea or lifestyle of it.

I'm surprised you throw in gangster rap with the "Notorious" nickname and walkout.

He showed utter contempt for our courts and justice system yesterday. No surprise..

And, after driving at dangerously high speeds resulting in this court appearance he then exits a narrow lane at quite a speed. Reckless arrogance..

To be fair our courts & justice system are a joke. Agreed on the speedong though.

Whether one thinks they’re a joke or not is irrelevant. They are the people. They are set up by the people and for the people. A vital institution. And they absolutely deserve respect..

I’m a bit lost. Who posted ‘respect to Martin?’ I am very familiar (too much so) of everything that Martin Cahill did. Conor pulling his hood over his face was obviously in a joking way an ode to him. The most recognizable celebrity in the country trying to hide his face. But to bring up the state pathologist from the 80s is a stretch. What is horrible is all the people revelling in his misfortune. Frank Bruno had a nervous breakdown quite publicly and no one was on forums calling him a scum bag. Gazza had more run ins with the cops and people backed him up, even when he wanted to go fishing and have a few cans with a murderer on the loose. Mc Gregor needs some tough love and to be brought away from yes men. He doesn’t need yesterday’s fans delighted in the fact that he is in trouble. That’s my tuppence. For right or wrong!

Bruno and gazza are actual likable characters who most sympathise with in their struggles. McGregor is just a lout.

A sectarian, wife beating, junkie, alkie is a likable character. I'd rather be stuck in a lift with McGregor than Gazza.

I agree the courts should but respected. But "of the people, by the people, for the people" refers to the government, not the judiciary.
And it was coined by a US President, should be all respect Trump ... I'm not sure about that.

By wearing a tracksuit apparently... Oh and by following what the judge said last time, send a legal representative or appear himself.
TBH that judge seemed to be acting the fanny yesterday 'how much do you earn? and don't tell me 110million in a day' and 'you can pay by installments if you wish'

I think Conor is acting like a knob and a spoilt brat at the moment but this bull**** about contempt for the courts is a load of balls

Judges always ask the convicted offenders that to decide on the fine

Courts, like MMA, have rules and procedures too

Judges are all ego, it's no surprise that they clashed. They aren't used to cheek, Conor wasn't there cap in hand, it was a speeding ticket not a DUI

If he sent a legal representative to just plead flat out guilty the judge would have accepted that. Same as in any other case. McGregor wanted to plead guilty but give "mitigating circumstances", that is why the judge demanded that he appear. You can't put forward evidence as chinese whispers.

Not sure if this is the place. Now honestly I don't like McGregor's show boating but I do believe a huge part of it is an act but I couldn't care. I know it's part of MMA but it's a bit classless. I am not a big fan of MMA but I can't help looking sometimes.

One thing that annoys me personally is the image McGregor presents of Irish men. The guy is probably the only Irish man known in China I hate it when Chinese say oh you are from the same place as McGregor. I don't want that associated

It's not part of MMA. 99 % of MMA fighters don't carry on like that.

The man is a ****ing genius, he has found a way to stay in the headlines despite not stepping into a MMA cage in over a year.

That judge seemed delighted to meet McGregor.
