What was the news he expected to be in the tabloids?

Surely not some SBG part time athletes fighting

Wheelchair stuff?

I can only assume that's what he means too. Utterly moronic stuff. This idea that it's the media's responsibility to provide "balance". Conor did a good thing (although some would say it was suspiciously convenient) therefore you should report it to counter the negative of his antics in New York. Nonsense stuff altogether.

Kavanagh was exposed long ago. Once McGregor is done, he's done too.

Connor was at BAMMA, he shared some really positive stuff with someone he met there. He also didn't fight any buses or other forms of transport that I am aware of.

Exactly, but that's not news. John occasionally checks in on the forum, so I'll give him this one for free:

Conor McGregor acts the **** in public = news.

Conor McGregor doesn't act the **** ≠ news. As Chris Rock said, that's what you're supposed to do you dumb mother****er.

Maybe John would be better abandoning his pseudo intellectual persona and give up reading the papers for the likes of LADBible and Joe.ie, at least one of which I'm sure definitely "reported" the events of Saturday night

Ahh just looked it up and seen the youtube video with the lad in the wheelchair. Yeah he did something nice - so pat on the back for that, he didn't have to. Sure there's an awful joke about confusing his chair for a dolley there.

And just to show what gibberish Kavanagh is talking, the irish sun did report it

Ahh Ive just been snooping around and JK to his credit has held his hands up when shown to be wrong.

would seem he's every bit as bad as the tabloid media he's berating, calling something out when he's done FA research

Odd that he felt the need to comment on this mind, yet kept his dignified silence when Conor was jumping in the ring and attacking buses.

EagererBeaver

Ah it's not odd when you think about it. The man is a stooge.

I thought I'd seen the story a few times so just checked back and the Indo, balls.ie, and The42/daily edge all ran a story on him meeting your man the other night.

Honestly he is just a pain in the hole. Holier than thou and is arguably the smuggest man in Ireland. What does he want to see in the paper? "McGregor acts like decent human in public for the first time in about 3 years"? Yeah it was a nice touching gesture but the gesture is cancelled out when you just expect to be praised for it.

He seemed to be quite quiet at Bamma, no big entourage either. Hopefully a sign of things to come

The amount of people off their tits was unreal though, I haven't seen that much drug use in one place since the Tour de France went by my house in 1998. Same at another event a few weeks ago, can lads not go to an MMA event without acting all Tony Montana

That's more a comment on the society of today, though. A mate of mine ran a pub in ruralland, and had to get out because young fellas were going mental every weekend in the place, sniffing anything that had a vague whiff of filler in it.

Ultimate Seduction

The copied the beards, the hair cuts, the suits, now copying the cocaine habit. Loyal fans

Lukker-

If we could expatriate McGregor we could fix the cocaine, beard and suit problem this country has. Make Ireland not like McGregor again!

Compared to the majority getting off their head on the legal drug they sell, alcohol I think it's called!

Because besides the legalities, there really is no difference between alcohol and class A’s.

Ah, I know that, and I'm not one to preach, but it was more the scale of it.

I grew up in similar pubs, and while there was always someone on a heavy one, the amount of people throwing vast quantities of questionable sourced powders up their nose lately, in country pubs, has grown, and I'm not conservative in any way.

Coke is not comparable to Alcohol.


Even a small amount of Coke can kill a user who's been using it for years.


Your unlikely to drop dead after drinking 2 or 3 pints.

I hear you. I only posted that because I was talking to a former publican recently about the same kind of stuff going in a rural pub I know, just thought it was funny that they ignored the fact that they were selling a drug that's ruined plenty of lives in this country and almost seemed completely oblivious to it. It's like the legality of it makes it go over people's heads!

Do you have a source for that?
Not disputing it, genuinely curious. Fully aware how easy it is to overdose on opiates and the like. But a lot of the stuff about people overdosing on a single hit of coke/estasy/weed (lol) sounds like scaremongering to me. But completely uneducated opinion regarding the coke.

Its well known that long term use of coke causes serious heart disease.

Also if you use it at any time your chance of getting a stroke or heart attack goes up by about 1000%.

The problem with coke isn't overdosing per say its that the drug is highly unpredictable.

Dr Chris Luke said in an intervew a few weeks back that a user can take coke for 20 years without problems and then suddenly die.

Sure, but chronic usage not really relevant to what you said or what I asked.
You mentioned that a small amount that kill you, that's very different.

I could believe that. Although relative % increase is kinda misleading. The actual incident rate is more useful.

For balance, going for a run also increases your heart attack risk.

Chronic use is clearly destructive. I was more curious about the acute sudden death you refereed to and if that was possible.

Terrible for anyone who trains to a high intensity. Professional athletes etc.

Can bring forward heart attack by 20, 30 years.

Dying in sleep is common.

Your average cokehead who doesn't take care of their fitness can get away with abusing the drug for years on end.

The fact he's still alive is a medical miracle in itself to be fair.
