    No it's not easy to see how it happened. She launched an unprovoked attack on another woman for talking to the man she was with. In no way is that easy to understand. What her victim did about her injuries has no bearing on the viciousness and unacceptable nature of the assault.

    It's very easy to see how it happened

    I wasn't saying she was right to do it

    I have relations living in the same village as her, they say she has an unreal reputation there, rough as f~~k is the phrase that was used

    And thanks to guys like you, even pug-ugly skangers can get the lovin too :D

    She looks like a man, dressed in drag, with horrific fake tan. And she's a violent psycho bitch as well. You guys really love draining the bottom of the gene pool!

    It was quarter to three in the morning, the other one saw Aishling Thompson talking to a man.
    Ms.Coakley knew the man.

    "Ms Coakley approached a man in the nightclub who was talking to Ashling Thompson.
    Ms Coakley knew the man but she wasn’t acquainted with the GAA player "

    None of the estsblishrd facts make it easy to understand how an adult would launch a physical attack on another adult. Unless you believe Ms. Thompson is a female equivalent of Begsby who one must expect to react violently to situations that she perceives as disrespectful to herself, especially when drunk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,113 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Certainly she should stay off the grog. Doesn't agree with her.

    Just reading in Today's paper an interview with this girl.

    I don't get it. Maybe I missed it but not once in the interview does she apologise for the assault but only talks about how it affected her.

    She endured nothing from what I can see. Once she's paid the 6 grand it's forgotten about.

    Nothing against the girl and I hope she gets on with her life but she only talks about how it has affected her.
    Thoughts.

    No wonder were ****ed as a society

    Says more about media in Ireland and the Independent group in particular than society in general. Complete rag, worshiping and glorifying D list Irish celebs and people like property developers and chefs as if they are doing something important or beneficial to society. I wouldn't eat my chips put of it.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,113 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Correct, haven't bought it in 30 years.

    She needs to acquaint herself with more salubrious nightime venues. Reardons is Corks version of Coppers. Overpriced overcrowded and overrated. The place is a cattle mart.

    Hate this, people behaving in a totally unacceptable way and it being explained as passion for the game.

    How do you know it was unprovoked?

    She was not acting in self defense. No one hit her first. She threw the first blow. She threw the only blows. What would you consider provocation?

    Words can be provocative.

    She is a scumbag

    They have this new fancy thing called a court, this is where such defenses can be offered. No such defense was offered, however I suspect you already know this.

    I am from Cork and I celebrated wildly when Cork won the camogie All-Ireland's that Aishling Thompson was part of but she is an utter disgrace in my opinion.
    I wouldn't defend her for a second. Some Cork people have been defending her and the same people probably wanted Diarmuid Connolly hung, drawn and quartered when he decked that fella in the pub.
    The double standards make me sick. Thompson is an out and out thug and a lot of other stuff has come to light about her in the last few months. She viciously assaulted an opposition player off the ball while playing for her club but got away with it because the ref didn't see it.

    Wouldn't comment on her in other threads, until the case was dealt with.
    Yeah she's a very good looking and talented girl who has had issues in her life.
    AFAIK she wouldn't be popular with her team mates which is one indicator. Certainly has anger issues and refs find her difficult. She does need to do a serious rethink and reset of her attitude esp for her own benefit.

    I wish her well.
    What? Why? And it's hilarious the way people are saying "she's good looking" as if that's a mitigating factor. One person said "fair enough, she's good looking" - and? That has zero relevance.

    This is the kinda thing that leads to the double standard, but it ain't women propagating it.

    Ah that's too much the other way.

    But her behaviour was appalling, that's all there is to it. And now her attitude stinks.

    Lot of stupid ***** in the country, no offence. If you play football/hurling/camogie you can do no wrong in the eyes of the judge. (I play football still)

    Btw I have sat in corporate hospitality the last 2 days in Croker. Sickening status is given to GAA players above all else.

    Key point is media still help shape society's behaviour and attitudes. the fact that we're at the point of repeatedly printing this drivel on once reputable news outlets is reflective of society as a whole. Why, cause people are buying it and lapping up this sh1t.

    Media in ireland are just taking lead from uk as we tend to do with broadcasting generally. Still haven't stooped to daily mail levels but we're getting there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,704 ✭✭✭Sunny Disposition


    AT has a good bit of sympathy for herself in the interview, complains that there wasn’t ‘protection’ for her, that there would be more for men. This is someone who committed two assaults! Delusional.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,390 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I wonder how long til we see her in front of a judge again. Says so much about today's Ireland: It's all about me and the effect on me. To hell with the victim.
    Pity she didn't think about her victims mental health when her elbow hit her jaw.

    My girlfriend plays camogie with her in that village and says that she’s sound. Great hurler and fairly ‘powerful’ on the pitch.
