    I thought this thread was about McGregor?

    I have no idea who McGahon is nor do I care. However since you raised the subject I looked it up. Went to criminal trial for assault, acquitted, faced a civil suit for assault, lost. So in summary an arsehole, not a criminal and not a rapist.

    McGregor 19 convictions including 2 for assault, a rapist, with 2 more rape cases to face 1 in France, 1 in in the US, 1 more criminal assault case to face in Italy.

    So 1 complete criminal scumbag cokehead punchdrunk rapist, the other an Alcoholic gobshite. Is that a fair assessment in your eyes? Do you have anymore whataboutery to waste our time with?

    If you’d to look further into it, you’d have seen that McGahan sexually assaulted a “friend” with a twix bar while he was passed out at a festival. This thread is about the scumbag McGregor, I’m just wondering what sexual assaults people are ok with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,430 ✭✭✭paul71


    Oh that gobshite, sounds like anyone who calls him a friend is a gobshite too.

    The rape I care about most is the one where highly trained martial artist kicks the living **** out of a drunk woman, rapes her, leaves her in need of medical attention for extreme bruising described by a Surgeon as on the extreme mostscale among the thousands of rape vistims he has attended to and requiring surgical removal of a tampon.

    Since you introduced whataboutery, may I ask if you have a sister?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,223 ✭✭✭TokTik


    I’ve 3. Wouldn’t like to see any of them near McGregor. Also have 2 brothers, wouldn’t want to see either of them near McGahon when he was in possession of a twix.

    FPTP. Really? The system that brought us Trump, 10 years of the Tories and Brexit?

    Lets put this simply, the dail and senate have had thiefs, gobshites, bombmakers. As far as I am concerned many of those in those categories are filth, but they do not with the exception of Dessie Ellis particularly bother me because McGregor is a scumbag 1,000 worse on a scale compared to any of them.

    Comparing filth McGregor to a drunken arsehole like McGann is disingenuous in the extreme you know it. Your invention about a similar level of concern for your sisters in the company of McGregor and your brothers in the company of McGann is a transparent and obvious lie.

    On the one hand, there's no way a piece of sh!t like McGregor should be anywhere near a presidential race. Quite rightly, I think he won't get the necessary qualifications to run.

    On the other hand, if he did run, I suspect it would be a total humiliation for him, which would be marvellous to see.

    The only worry I'd have is if he actually ran and somehow got elected. Democracy in action it may be, but it would all but signal our end as a decent country, we'd officially be a nation of utter scumbags and a stain on our history if he won.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭threeball


    I'd predict the biggest turnout in voter history and absolute decimation for the turd, should he somehow make it on to the ballot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,223 ✭✭✭TokTik


    Yeah but then you’d have to listen to his moron followers for months talking about how the vote count was rigged and he should have won by a landslide.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,448 ✭✭✭Dr Robert


    FPTP is the dumbest system going.

    The one we use is by far the fairest.

    If he's not in they'll claim the whole thing was rigged against him anyway. Its a no win when you're dealing with simpletons



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,213 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    I can't help but think of the 2016 race for the Republican nomination. Assuming he gets on the ballot, McGroper has the advantage of name recognition, just as Trump did, and establishment Republicans were too late in getting behind a single candidate. How many low-information voters, rallied by AI slop of dark-skinned rioters carrying machetes in all 3 of their 7-fingered hands, could he get to the polls? What candidate could the major parties, or any alliance of minor parties, put forward that would muster the same level of enthusiasm?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭threeball


    I think the repulsion of the normal electorate would far outweigh any contrarian. Just the number of women alone who would vote against him would bury him. We're not idiots like the Yanks. We tend to have a fairly sober view of our politicians. And we don't do cults like the yanks either. A country founded by religious crackpots, whose influence is still to the fore today.

    The thieves went to Australia and the Religious loopers went to the states. At least the thieves reformed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,485 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    Also the majority of his most ardent fans don't vote, have never voted and wouldn't be bothered to even register.

    Would probably turn up on the day and give out about not being able to vote, and it's all a conspiracy against them, even though they never even registered 😂🤷‍♂️

    I saw one of his biggest non-Irish online cheerleaders is facing his own rape charges today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭threeball


    They're fond of rape, all these douchebags that push that agenda. McGregor, Trump, Brand, the Tate brothers. Even Musk does his own brand of extorted rape, where if you don't have sex with him he'll try to destroy your revenue stream by choking your social media accounts.

    I like how the article describes him as "Former Mixed Martial Arts fighter"

    He's not gonna like that!

    Well this turn of events is somewhat unexpected - I’ve a lot more questions in my head that’s for sure


    https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/neighbour-claims-nikita-hand-was-assaulted-by-ex-partner-hours-after-she-says-she-was-raped-by-conor-mcgregor/a2009838166.html



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 45,335 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    I wonder what Hand's ex will say about an allegation that he was violent towards her.

    This new witness is going to come under an incredible level of scrutiny - their background, their relationship if any to McGregor - it’s an extraordinary statement to make given a full civil trial took place in the media spotlight . Why now? Why not throughout the trial?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭DmanDmythDledge


    And why approach McGregor and not the authorities or McGregor's legal team?

    John Doyle named them on twitter, so if there's any links with McGrgeor it'll come out in the wash fairly quickly.

    If you witnessed your neighbour being assaulted by her partner what would you do?

    A. Ring the guards straight away/try to help.

    B. Forget all about it until a very wealthy man wanted to appeal a ruling in a civil case for raping your neighbour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,134 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Irish Times have named the couple

    “The judge said his understanding was the new evidence was from a couple – Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins – who lived across the road from Ms Hand in December 2018. Ms O’Reilly had alleged that, on the night of December 9th/10th, 2018, she had observed from the upstairs window of her house a row between Ms Hand and her then partner, Stephen Redmond.

    Ms O’Reilly had said she inferred, from movements of Ms Hand’s body, Mr Redmond had assaulted her on the ground and this explained the bruising on her body seen the next day.”

    B. Forget all about it until a very wealthy man wanted to appeal a ruling in a civil case for raping your neighbour several years later but you could remember the exact date on which this happened, and could clearly identify both people involved and what happened to her, yet were unaware that she was involved in a very public civil action against that wealthy man until after he lost his case?

    So pretty much these two people can lie about what they saw, and very difficult to prove it a lie.. but.. at same time they are very unlikely to be able to prove what they’re alleging they witnessed; and Ms. Hand can deny what they’re alleging they saw, and it also being very difficult to prove Ms Hand wrong! Kind of a stalemate. Pointless?

    I didn't think new evidence could be introduced at an appeal.
