    Coach Kavanagh blocked me on Twitter as I was making jokes about how Khabib’s bear would eat his lovely great shepherd pub for breakfast. What a douche!! And I am Conor no.1 fan.

    I'd have blocked you too. Well done John.

    Holloway so gangster.

    All jokes aside, that's a brilliant bit of promotion.

    Kick a man while he’s allegedly down.

    Functioning distillery for nearly 200 years providing inner city jobs maybe...

    Until it closed production and became a tour thing.

    Bull****. Alcohol has destroyed families I don’t buy into the marketing as a company supportive of working families bs

    Presumably Jameson flew him out to Dublin specifically for the (paid) twitter post. I wonder how much something like that costs. I also wonder if Max was their first choice ! :pac:

    Great bit of trolling and on the flip side ... this type of PR it shows how seriously they are taking Proper 12.

    Yeah, by his maths all those days you just think about being a murderous, necrophiliac, cannibalistic paedophile rather than act on it, you're a pretty neat guy.
    He was being ironic. He's not actually saying Dahmer was a good bloke. I'm sure you know that.

    I know that... It was the supporting Dublin workers that was asked... You're right actually... Conor is all Dublin and got a northern whisky
    It's kinda odd to slate Guinness for being sectarian. Then to slate Bushmills for being from the North.

    And they probably weren't going for religion angle as I said but it was fairly recently ( well 20/25 years ago) before Bushmills had even 1 Catholic working for them.
    They were notorious for it.
    Bushmills and Jameson predate sectarianism in Ireland by a couple of centuries. John Jameson was a protestant iirc.
    I've no idea when the first catabolic started work at Bushmills. But I doubt it was the 90s.

    I think there was an attempted boycott of Bushmills in the 90s (in America) for not employing enough Cataholics. Could you be thinking if that?

    Lads..while I know half of ye think Mcg is some sort of genius, lets be realistic for a minute..he's a scumbag..he was trying to promote his whiskey..he went "fnck the jamesons etc".. It wasnt a comment on sectarianism in the drinks industry over the last 200 years..it was him being a tinker..

    Yeah the sectarian stuff is a huge stretch. It's just marketing spiel. Jameson Bow st was a hugely important employer in Dublin in the past. But there's no way it could be run from there now.

    Glad to see some smaller distilleries returning to Dublin though.

    Of course I'm aware of it, but that doesn't make his analogy any more intelligent, applicable or appropriate.

    I'm just pointing out that "by that logic" type criticism make no sense when somebody is being ironic.
    I'm not suggesting for a minute it was appropriate (given the proceedings).

    I was taking the piss in response to a previous comment.

    Don't have a clue what he was going to achieve with it.

    The Jeffrey Dahmer tweet is just one of the countless examples where John Kavanagh implies how intelligent he is compared to everyone else. He's an insufferable me feiner.

    I don't get it either. I'm not a superfan of JK, but these claims that he's trying to pass himself as some sort of pseudo intellectual are a bit strange.

    At worst it was a stupid and/or ill-advised comment, but everyone at that level tends to makes those at some point, why can't people just call it at that.

    It makes sense and I thought it was good

    Peoples perception is their own and I don't believe people get to dictate if others peoples thoughts are good or not

    An alleged RTÉ memo naming Conor as the sports star at the center of that assault case has been doing the rounds, and The Times report that RTÉ have informed the DPC of a data breach regarding same, under GDPR regulations.

    Link below:

    <snip>

    It’s behind a paywall but you’ll find the memo with very little hassle online.

    Also, those laws apply to websites publishing too.
    So posts repeating the leaked memo, or words to the same effect, are a massive liability for boards too.

    Well in that case, I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked about four threads ago....

    It was locked, ages ago. Posts were deleted and warnings handed out.

    The memo hasn't been posted since as far as I know. The latest discussion is about the Times article.

    It was locked last week. Posts are constantly being deleted. I'm guess a load of the above will get wiped too.

    Folks, I've deleted some posts and removed the link to the published article because it's behind a paywall (Mods don't get paid nor can they claim expenses to investigate such articles).

    As I said before, if it is reported on mainstream (Irish) media then discussion of that is fine.

    Sorry to be pedantic, stuff behind a paywall is not readable by all so doesn't count.

    Personally I'd love to see what was reported but can't without paying for it....

    Khabib revealed why he attacked Dillon Danis. It’s because John kavanagh and Owen roddy are “too old” and “almost my fathers age”.

    Apparently he hates the whole team
