    I can’t see him appealing TBH- I think the risks outweigh the rewards - it wasn’t a huge financial award .

    Judge to decide on costs next week also -I would assume most of her legal costs are covered but not necessarily all of them as jury didn’t find in her favour for the other “person”- I don’t think that will be an inconsiderable cost and could run to many 10s of thousands if not more- let’s hope this court finding and “modest” financial award as McGregor called it , is not over shadowed by a large legal liability bill

    You can see by his message back in response to jake paul about it last night on X that mcgregor does not care and always will be same scumbag. He has no morals.

    He called him a little gay nerd. He calls everyone little in every putdown to anyone because he is a short arse himself and hates it.

    Ya it's crazy he allowed spread that much hate around and a lot of people still love him.

    I used be a fan but last few years his true colour's really showed.

    Unfortunately he will still be making millions and spreading hate and nothing anyone can do.

    I don’t think he appeals. Damage done, and him dragging out out more for her will see even more damage to him. Of course, immediately after the result he was going to respond. When dust settles I think a change of direction… also, who’s to say more of these allegations aren’t awaiting him.. seems to be the talk

    As Conor McGregor lost his temper in the witness box, for the jury it was the moment the mask slipped

    Anybody have a link to full article from the indo today please.

    very telling that not even 24 hours after being found liable in a rape case he’s online abusing people with homophobic slurs

    This is one of the key reasons that I believe only consensual acts occurred that night. When I say consensual, I don't mean a consent discussion as you see in ads directed at young people these days, but I do mean that all parties willingly participated, albeit with the drink and the drugs being thrown around like snuff at a wake.

    On the other matters under discussion, do I think that Hand was grossly intimidated in the aftermath of making her civil complaint? Absolutely I do. Two things can be true at once.

    Way back in the thread someone accused me of making a "sick" post, considering the outcome, where I simply broke down my assessment of the evidence publicly heard.

    Well, dry your eyes mate, its merely an opinion, albeit one by a person who has sat on 3 criminal juries in my lifetime, and watched a combined 3 months of testimony and argument.

    She was extensively bruised… you think it was all to do with her consenting? This is much more likely due to him being firm, rough and controlling.. exactly as she described it.

    The issue I think a lot of folks have with her story is the fact she was quite drunk and what happened after the alleged rape. It has been discussed and detailed how her behaviour after does not mean she could not have been raped

    Also, add in Lawrence’s claim that really stinks of a concocted lie…

    Not sure why folks would be reluctant to believe her story

    You really think she put herself through all this for so long, considering all the evidence of the trauma to her, for a few quid?

    All deleted on X now. Even the post about appealing the verdict.

    I don't know how this will go. She was adamant they didn't have sex and he was saying they did. It's obvious he was just brought along to make her look bad and possibly even to take the rap so i hope it's looked at that way and she doesn't have to contribute to it.

    well the well known Irish sportsman excuse will need a change by now.

    This is far from the first time a sportsman has been in this situation. Why anyone would think going on a drug fuelled bender with him and his ilk is an entirely different matter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,025 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Sure, why not.

    Role model for stabby people certainly.

    An excellent article here outlining jury reaction to McGregor’s testimony and also the verdict - I reckon reporters no less his own team knew what the outcome would be after he left the stand such was the visible reaction from the jury

    Wow the reporter from Sky News is an absolute legend.

    Video seems to have been taken down now.

    Walked up to him when he was leaving the court and called him a rapist.

    While I’m with you on that, the finding is still the finding unfortunately - if I accused you of something in a civil court and the judge or jury didn’t find in my favour I’d be liable for costs - however it’s how the costs are calculated will be the issue here now - the lawyers had to do all of the groundwork for McGregor- this person was a smaller part of a bigger trial - so I’m hoping whatever the amount, that it doesn’t leave her with nothing

    I saw that alright - The guardian too last night had a “clear as day” headline - I posted it last night - it spelt things out much clearer than even the Sky News headline - Irish media a lot more “understated” in their headlines

    So she consented to having intercourse with her tampon in, allowed him to choke her and bruise her bkack and blue all over. Ya I say after the first 5-10 minutes she wanted it over but before that I say she said no a few time.

    I taught her discription of what he said while choking her is factually correct. As well it seems the f@@ker has form but this is the first case that came to court. Similar to attacks the property and intimidatiom of people who take him to court. With a while I taught he was a vile piece of sh!t this proves it.

    Do I think she was naive in joining him to continue a party ya I do and if there was no bruising I think the jury would've been inclined to accept his version. But the bruises especially around the neck swung it for me. We see this type of rape a bit where the individual uses choking to heighten the act for themselves

    My thoughts were, given the injuries and obvious trauma, it was very low - future lost earnings alone should have come to more than that I would have thought - she has said she had to give up counselling because she couldn’t afford it .
    I don’t understand how they came to that figure but you would hope that if McGregor appealed that the figure would only rise significantly
