Of all the disreputable, dishonest slants we’ve seen put on how this case transpired that on really takes the biscuit Care to acknowledge why there had to be four barristers? Care to acknowledge who made to decision to carry out four trials together? Setting a new low there. Utterly pathetic post

I know full well who made the decision to carry out the four trials together. But there are some right nutters who think this case shouldn't have gone to court who'd want to take a look at themselves. By doing that, you are inferring that this young woman either fooled them all, and by all I mean, the Rape Crisis Centre, The PSNI, The Crown Prosecutors office, who collectively managed to get this case all the way to the jury, despite the best efforts of the defense team. Otherwise, start a thread in the conspiracy forum because that is where that nonsense belongs!

You've invested more energy on this thread than any other poster and it was as plain as the nose on our face what was going to happen. You can't make a world of your own.

You're in denial about mobs, twitterati, feminazis. It's just ordinary public opinion. No organised 5th columns. You've been blaming these groups in your head when they are actually the people you deal with in your daily life, be they family, neighbours etc. Ireland of 2018, or most western countries isn't ready to have 'top shaggers' on the national team. Ireland as a whole, that's the size of it, no conspiracies. It's not Vegas here or in most countries. We're ahead of the liberal curve in many respects, with Same Sex Marriage for example.

'We know it goes on, we partake in it ourselves maybe, but do not get caught doing it, because we need to feel morally superior and righteous. Add in the feminazis with the 'a girl can withdraw consent the morning after if she wants to' and the defendants didn't have a chance. They were gone from day one.
