    That is true, she also took the time to pose for the cameras after her court case too unlike Ms. Thompson.

    A very classy lady indeed.

    Australia ceased being a colony for convicts a long time ago, doubt she'd be allowed in now

    Their immigration standard is something we should learn from, with so many foreign convicts wandering our streets at our expense :rolleyes:

    I don't understand how she was still in the night club 90 minutes after the first assault.

    Was she mates with "security"?
    If I was the second person assaulted, I'd be making a claim against the night club.

    The bar is frequented by GAA heads so wouldn’t surprise me ... she should’ve been kicked out after the first one or held by security for the gardai to deal with her

    It's full of Guards and nurses and is generally awful but in fairness the security aren't the worst. I've come across a lot worse in Cork down the years.

    Maybe she didn’t receive any advice. Could she have been approached by the media herself and was paid for her interview, Did the interview for the money.

    Bizarre article. She must have a decent PR team to get her an article in the Daily Fail.

    Perhaps looking to get picked up by an agency over there leading to a stint on reality tv. That's all it is, a vanity project.

    In fairness, she is playing the media well and people like to read stories about controversial characters.

    That's not an interview with the Daily Mail, that's just a rehash of the Sindo interview with an explanation of what camogie is tacked on

    I wonder will there be letters of protest in the Sindo next Sunday about their disgraceful interview with poor Aishling? Even by the Sindo's standards it plumbed the depths. I was going to write one myself but I said they probably won't print it so I didn't bother.
    The only other one they did like it that comes near it for outrage is the "John the Baptist" article on that crook John Delaney.

    Jesus that is the UK website of the Mail. Amazing they would cover a story like that. Just shows how amazingly stupid the article was.

    They just want an excuse to print photos of a good looking girl. They'll cover a murder if the victim has Instagram photos on a beach in a bikini

    From the interview in the Sunday Independent's Life supplement and the detail of the court case, I believe she was explaining her actions, not excusing them, i.e. the car accident in which she was injured, the suicide of her on-off boyfriend, the fact that she had been training earlier in the day of the assault and had then consumed alcohol without eating. Sure, who wouldn't want to know why she attacked a woman who had said Hello to someone who she (Thompson) was talking to?

    Why would anyone engage in sporting activity and then take alcohol without eating anything? It doesn't make sense.

    Is she very good looking?.. she's as rough as fnck..

    Agreed. All the talk of her good lucks. She has a unique 'look' but there are good looking girls everywhere you look.

    Mostly it's a scowl she carries. You'd soon get sick of looking at her if you had to listen to her and put up with her.

    Is that not the basis of all Irish sport?

    I presume the poster means consuming alcohol after training, in the Thompson case, which kind of defeats the purpose of training to drink straight after.

    As opposed to the usual drinking after winning some competition.

    Thighs on her a 6 month old Tit fed Holstein would be proud of.

    Fairly bad comparison. If it's one things Holsteins are noted for it's definitely not their thighs, light and long legged.

    Belgian Blue, Charolais double muscled more like.

    it doesn't though and it's a silly point.
    I'm sure she (and other sports people) drink occasionally but train almost daily to not detriment. with the exception of peaking for an event where you'd be living like a monk,


    back on Aisling...she is a geebag.

    No letters in the Sindo today in response to the piece on Aishling last Sunday.
    I am sure they got loads but didn't publish them.

    Except if you bothered to actually read about the sentencing, she doesn't have a conviction on her record, she was (rather bizarrely) given a 6k fine with the quid pro quo being no conviction.

    Ordinarily a situation like this, minor assault in a club with drink on board, with no real injuries inflicted, early guilty plea, no previous, you wouldn't get anything close to a 6k fine. Not even half that. Probably just probation. She was obviously desperate to avoid the conviction though as it would affect overseas travel and possibly garda vetting for coaching positions.

    If she was charged in Kerry the judge would have asked her for a contribution to the courts poor box. Quite obvious a deal was done to avoid a conviction.

    It's reardens sure, your a god in there if you play gaa.

    If I was before the courts for what she did I'd have gotten a suspended sentence but nonetheless got a criminal conviction.

    6k is absolutely nothing to keep a clean record, judge leaving her off so lightly.

    Do you think a dog bites once? I would guess there are a few other incidents swept under the carpet by the GAA/AGS, out of court settlements and what not. Once her time is up with the team she is going to be a terror to deal with.
