    Mcgregor is the most famous Irish person in the world.

    People here should be on his side and support him, Every Irish person hates anyone with a bit success.

    Pol Pot’s the most famous Cambodian in the world, means nothing about the level of support he should get from his compatriots.

    Regarding his arrest, the statement from the prosecutor’s office doesn’t sound like they’re really too sure if he committed a crime this time:

    “following a complaint lodged on September 10th denouncing events which might be qualified as attempted sexual aggression and sexual exhibition, Mr Conor Anthony McGregor has been questioned by the gendarmerie, in detention.” (Emphasis mine)

    Or maybe something was lost in translation.

    It's gone from close the airports and ports to getting the mickey out in public down in Corsica.

    Great statesman of the nation we heed your words of wisdom.

    What a plonker Rodney.

    Did anyone read the recent book on him?

    I think these acts may be a cry for help?

    Perhaps he is a victim of the persona he created?

    That in no way makes these acts acceptable. Money should not block justice.

    Yeah as the wider world catches on he will become toxic to sponsors at this rate. Remains to be seen what exactly the fallout from this incident is.

    The fall could be quite big. He is only young yet.

    Proper 12? He doesn’t need sponsors

    His age isn't the point, he still sucker punched a man from behind for no reason.

    Just because the victim is younger doesnt excuse his behaviour

    Sorry, no, but thanks for calling.
    Have you tried next door ?

    Guaranteed there are plenty of middle and upper class men who have done the exact same things as McGregor, but because he's from a working class background, he's a "scumbag". Not defending the man as I'm not a fan, but didn't a rugby player piss on someone in a pub a few years back?
    I also know plenty of people who have been in scrapes over the years in pubs etc. None of them would be classed as "scumbags".... :rolleyes:
    I know of others who have been cheated on and cheated. I wouldn't necessarily call them "scumbags". Yes, cheating on someone is a low thing to do, but it's hardly Hutch/Kinahan territory....

    Who did he rape?

    Most likely several women.

    It turned out that there was some paint drying which I needed to keep an eye on.

    People think getting your lad out is like rape or something. Indecent exposure that's about it. I've got mine out on many a night out.

    Grown men who idolise this fella = major red flag.

    Was it him in a bar? ............ on some unwanted recipient?

    Are you of the cohort who find sexual assault amusing?

    I guarantee you that no man of any class in the public eye would get away with that many allegations and it not be brought up. Its not the first time he behaved badly. He used the media to enlarge his profile and then wonders why they keep covering the bits he doesn't want them to.

    its not the cheating or the fighting innocent aul lads in isolation, its all of it together makes him a scumbag. Repeated bouts of cocaine induced violence, repeated sexual assault allegations etc... Theres no other Irish 'celebrity' has the same repeated negative press.

    Well firstly any one who assaults another human the way McGregor assaulted that aul man is a scummer. One is a potentially frail man, the other is a trained fighter. Hes a bully and his behaviour was scummy.

    And regardless of their background, any one who sexually assaults someone are also scumbags.

    Theres no two ways about it, he is a low life.

    Big difference between someone who is a drunken buffoon who pisses on someone and a predator.

    Cheating and alleged sexual assault are very different things.

    of course it's important, if people are repeating over and over that someone beat a pensioner or old man , and it turns out it was a 50 year old it's what's known as a lie.

    I simply couldn't find the time, I'm raging now though.

    There was a documentary about boy bands, narrated by Bryan McFadden, that I watched instead.

    I thought it was an ok book. Maybe could have been more balanced.

    I would like to hear from Pauli Mallinagi on this latest episode
