    I doubt she's reading this tbf.

    You can't separate the art from the artist and that's fair enough but some people can and do.

    He's applauding a rapist who is no longer violent (that we know about anyway). That's nothing to do with his art. Should a murderer be applauded for not killing anyone in a few years?

    I think it is rather rude , if people want to just say hello, say it, but instead these things are shoved in peoples face, I guess he snapped, sick of it all of the time,

    Same with buses. I see people on buses all the time, if we watch the streets when the stars are out, the general public are there with their arses in those bus seats,

    I think it is rather rude, if people want to take a car, do it, but instead these things are taking up space on the roads, I guess he snapped, sick of it all of the time,

    Probably off his head on something. Can't stand the bloke but hardly 'strong armed robbery'..no idea what they define that as but seems like an over reaction. Fan was probably being a dick too. Still, hopefully they'll lock him up over there and we can stop hearing about him.

    I think strong armed means aggressive/bully like tactics and not armed as in carrying a weapon.

    google:

    strong-arm
    adjective
    1.
    using or characterized by force or violence.
    "they were furious at what they said were government strong-arm tactics"
    synonyms: aggressive, forceful, bullying, coercive, oppressive, threatening, intimidatory, terrorizing, thuggish, violent; informalbully-boy
    "strong-arm tactics were deployed by both sides"
    verb
    1.
    use force or violence against.
    "the culprit shouted before being strong-armed out of the door"

    First they came for the socialists...

    No. I don't think you're getting me. The question is, if that murderer was an athlete/artist/whatever, that you admired would you still look back on his work/career with fondness? His work being a separate entity from his murdering.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,105 ✭✭✭Kivaro


    These Mcgregor threads are always great! Round and round and round we go!
    I see what you did there ........

    No, you're not getting me, he wasn't just talking about his boxing. He applauded his apparent lack of violence currently in his life. That's on par with applauding a murderer for not killing recently.

    Right so. I'd suggest you ask the poster then.

    I did and he answered:
    yes i applaud him for turning his life around, and for being a fantastic boxer.

    McGregor is the very definition of a car crash. Despite all his money and celebrity status he's had as many brushes with the law as he would have had if he had remained a nobody. Its so ironic, Its like he cant help himself. Its all so very pathetically predictable.

    What hasnt helped is neither the American judicial system nor the Irish one have put manners on him. Hes a repeat offender now on both sides of the atlantic and is still getting away with it and he knows it. He should have done time for the bus incident and not the paltry few hours community service and anger management he ended up doing.

    Hes just had a baby so why is he in a nightclub at 5am in the first place ?? Why hasnt he made an honest woman of his missus at this stage either ? His moral compass is totally lacking given the potential he could be doing as a role model and ambassador for good.

    This whole mess is going in only one direction and it wont end well for him and few people will be sorry. In this day and age of overnight celebrity and riches, Mcgregor is just another t-shirt, he is already yesterdays news.

    Honest woman???

    Ambassador, who employed him to be an ambassador? I hate that role model crap.

    . He’s also with his son and the rest of his family. Maybe something was said or done there?

    At 5 in the morning??????? If that is true he is more of a scumbag than previously believed

    Some people are saying it was Khabibs fans recording him and shouting obscenities whilst he was walking with his family. Conor asked them to please refrain and they persisted.

    Again who is out with his family at 5 in the morning ?

    Scumbag.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    So video doing the rounds of what looks like him getting angry with someone in the club. Probably one of those riled up drunken nights. Drink too much, getting annoyed and any little thing setting you off.

    His reps didn't really defend him, said it was a minor incident, while he himself talked about needing to work on his patience. So these farfetched stories by some to what happened I imagine are just that, farefetched.

    Looks to be a case of temper and booze mixing to stupid end.

    I said he 'could' have been a role model, he obviously has as much time for the idea as you do.

    Honest woman ? Yeah if I've been with a woman in a long term relationship and she's given birth to two of my kids , the decent thing would be to marry her at the very least from a legal standpoint. If he died tomorrow she would get nothing because shes not a blood relative.

    Plenty of people have kids outside or wedlock, doesn't make them scumbags.

    If Conor McGregor wiped out that particular poster's family in a drunk driving incident, he'd still be on here defending him to the hilt. You're wasting your time.

    Cocaine
    infidelity
    Flashy Lifestyle
    Rumors of rape allegations
    A possy of thugs
    Arrests

    Conor McGregor is the Irish Mike Tyson!

    looking forward to Conor following Tysons lead of loosing all his money and returning to the ring/octagon in his 40s to make a show of himself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,202 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    I'd be surprised if he makes it to his mid-40's.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,079 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    This guy loves people talking about him and spreading rumours and stories.

    He wouldn't have a career otherwise sure!

    At end of the day all the money in the world can't change who he is which is why the more he earns the more he makes a show of himself and his family.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭kyote00


    It would be easier if they just reported the weeks he was not arrested ....

    Not at all; and most people aren't worth millions.

    Having said that, as the mother of (some of, anyway)his children she'd have some claim if he dropped dead tomo.

    Can criticize him for a lot of things but deciding not to get married is no one's business except his own. She would be his common law wife and mother to two of his children so you are wrong in that last claim


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,837 ✭✭✭pgj2015


    his parents are an absolute disgrace, they should be the ones pulling him up on his behaviour, but all they are doing is going along for the ride on the gravy train. i have never liked the guy but its sad to see this happening to anyone. he is going to end up dead or in prison for a long stretch, just like what would have likely happened if he had stayed in crumlin and involved with the crowd he grew up with.

    He grew up in Lucan, having left Crumlin as a child. This whole "gangster" persona is made up (that's not to say his family aren't classless trash though).

    Wonder were the drug dealing Murray brothers on this trip, they seem to go everywhere else with him.

    No they don't. They can't even get into the US. They were refused entry for his last fight.

    I thought he grew up on clonmacnoise road?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 612 ✭✭✭KevinCavan


    Will he get parts in dodgy action movies like Vinnie Jones?
