Ashling Thompson case

c.p.w.g.w · 23-07-2019 12:30pm

She's just a scumbag who is "famous"...she got light

lukin · 23-07-2019 12:55pm

I wouldn't go near her (not that she would be interested in me anyway). Her looks don't compensate in any way for her being a scumbag.

Stovepipe · 23-07-2019 1:25pm

What I suspect will happen with her is that she will encounter someone on the pitch or in a night club, who will not be intimidated by her and will knock her flat and put manners on her.

Man Vs ManUre · 23-07-2019 1:29pm

She always seems a bit moody and angry looking. No wonder she is getting in fights. She should get a role as a baddie in the young offenders. Perhaps a few topless sex scenes please also??

Exactly, it's always the case with bullies.

It would be interesting to see if it were a fella who knocked her flat, given her recent interview I know what card she'd pull.....

This thread is gone to pot, ok her actions were scummy and she may be a scumbag but give the woman a chance.

The tone of that article is insane, from what I read (not signing up to a fcuking indo account). I remember reading about the case at the time and being struck by how the judge seemed positively weak for her, but the lack of self-awareness here is mind boggling. People are on their way to forgetting about it and she thinks "I better remind people of my assault conviction and also talk about how hard things were for me after I was the victim of me battering two women after a feed of drink".

I mean I know the very most important thing is whether or not y'all would fcuk her but...

Judges can often get a little woozy over attractive young women to the extent that it affects their judgement unfortunately. A strong case for good representation of women on the bench, or at least cold showers in the judge's chambers.

Why not?

She would fit well in. She should definitely put her name in for next year.

She is getting an awful beating on this thread. She has been to court and got her punishment, after that what more can she do?

People who have a problem with the Irish Justice system should post that appropriately. It is not fair to harrass Aisling Thompson over a judges ruling in Cork.

She deserves a break, it is pointless venting anger over someone on an internet forum, sticks and stones might break my bones.....

The fact remains that she is one of our own and that she is gorgeous.. there is no argument.

The answer is categorically yes, I fancy the arse off her.

But I have contributed to this thread. As I said, blaming her for your own perceived failing in the Irish Justice system is pointless. She has had her day in court and she has received her punishment. What else is there to say?

Maybe you missed it moron but she is taking this flack because of her ill advised decision to have a big interview complete with fashion shoot in fancy designer gear, where she basically deflects any blame for the incident. It didnt just come out of the blue. She brought this on herself.

You better high tail it to Oz soon dude, she's going to head there to run away. Though the surfers and jocks over there will be tough competition.

Your missing the point pal. No exposure is bad exposure. If you think for a millisecond that she gives to shíts about mine or your opinion you need to catch up altogether.

She is the one getting paid big money to get her pictorial in the papers. That is her job at the moment. I doubt very much she cares much more about it after that. Money talks and bull shít walks pal.

She doesn't care about the right or wrong, she has a current account to fill....

The only reason she would go to Australia will be to continue her professional career... she is not running away anywhere.

That is a pretty naive view of things.

Being in the papers for assaulting two wowen in two separate incidents, on the same night, is certainly bad exposure.

She will not get away with it again, and I would imagine she knows this. Hence the image change etc. in the Indo shoot. Hide the tats, 'I'm a new person' etc. I have followed her for the last years, she is a fantastic sports star for Cork, but she needs to keep her temper and general mental health in check.

Her mental health is just fine I would imagine.

She is a couple years older and I would imagine a couple of years wiser.

If you need to chastise someone to get your opinion across you have probably lost the argument already. I am not naïve, neither I would say is the bould Thompson.

If she doesn't have a story she doesn't make the magazine. One of the oldest PR stunts in the world... the reformed.

Nobody was going around implying that women are imbeciles, or calling them embarrassing, when they lost their collective sh1t over "Hot Felon" Jeremy Meeks. People comment on attractiveness. Get over it?

If you crossed her with Teddy Mac we'd have some ultimate hurling machine. Another very nasty person by any measure. That's another tale though I suppose.

You're right, no one said her looks are relative to the crime. But it is a huge reason she is in the paper and being given the opportunity to give a sob story and dress up like a sad princess. That, and her athletic achievements.

I feel like this thread is a lot of people missing fairly obvious points.

Her sentence was actually quite fair - she was fined far more than a usual minor assault/nightclub swedge fine would usually be a first offender, but got to keep the conviction off her record. Fair trade.

BUT, being given special treatment by the media with a PR stunt glamour shoot interview thingy in a national paper to try and repair your reputation is something that most people who give out dirty digs on a night out would NEVER get. And people are rightly disgusted and fed up with someone being given special treatment because they are good looking or a star athlete.

Anyone else, it would be a short paragraph in the courts section and thats it, and you would just think, what a scumbag. There would be no 'comeback story' for them, even if they actually did something to turn their lives around, besides move back home with mummy and daddy, get tarted up for a photoshoot and hatch a plan to run off to Oz which is all she's done.

THat's all true. But you're accusing people of missing the obvious points when you might be missing the obvious corollary of what you are saying.

Just as Thompson has been given special treatment in the media, so too did her crime achieve disproportionately huge coverage in the national press, and she has been lambasted, and made into a sexual object, in all social platforms, including this one.

So it's swings and roundabouts.

Nah not buying that. What she is and who she is and what she is coming out with is swinging peoples opinion.

Now had she been a nobody very few would blink an eye on topic again. She deserves another chance imo,

But

She has thrown herself all over a paper again, all nicely dressed up, playing the whole Mental Health BS, while also trying maybe wig herself into some shoots for future again. She is using her imagine and it will sway some and most likely enough in the future when it blows away

Remember the story a few months ago of this English woman who was caught with €90,000 worth of stolen jewelry? She got a female judge though so I don’t know if it had any effect, she will find out her punishment next week. She turned up to court dressed like this!

You said "nah not buying that" and then went off on a totally different tangent.

Do you not see that if she were an ordinary Josephine Public, her crime would never have reached the national press, and almost nobody would even remember it except for the woman she hurt, and a small local community?

The national attention given to her crime was totally disproportionate to the harm caused. Some of the comments here, and on other platforms, are disgusting. So what if she tries to counter that?

Sunny Disposition · 24-07-2019 6:34am

She thinks, and she may be right, that you are automatically a hero if you say you have have struggled with depression or other mental health issues.
This is bringing it a bit too far though, thinking it’s enough to mention such issues and a tragedy years ago, to explain away two assaults.
Disgraceful cynicism and does nothing to promote positive mental health.

suicide_circus · 24-07-2019 6:47am

can we all agree now that the apparent "stigma" around mental health is bollox? Every celebrity worth their salt uses their breakdowns as currency. Half the people i work with are on SSRIs and/or in CBT and its as usual a part of the conversation as what they did on the weekend. Most popular TV shows involves someone weeping uncontrollably about something utterly trivial.

Talking about your struggles with mental health is the first step of the celebrity circuit after your initial fame was evaporated, next step is a cookbook.

There is actually no stigma at all. The "stigma" that people talk about is actually just talking and not doing anything to help people who are suffering. In fact actively not helping.

Its real basic stuff mental health associations use, like talk about it, real 101 stuff, (talking about it is a key gateway step, but so much more to it) which unfortunately misses the whole point , is there a stigma of course there is, a real stigma to mental health issues, trust me , what we have in Ireland is utterly mainstream well meaning celebrity based rubbish which they are allowed to get with as the average person knows very little about it

There will be more stories of financial irregularities like Console breaking within the next 12-18 months, its all about money and neither the proper stories or people are been talked about unfortunately in my opinion. Outside of the mainstream mental health claptrap being talked about in Ireland are stories that could actually save lives

In fairness, if everyone who threw a dig on a night out did time, we'd need a whole lot more prisons. It's a pretty ridiculous suggestion.

This is not to excuse her scummy behaviour or to condone the article making her out to be the victim.

saintsaltynuts · 24-07-2019 10:03am

If you or a loved was assaulted by a scumbag for no good reason you'd want revenge in due process.Fists and elbows can be deadly weapons as well.Anyway I think we're overdue a new prison in this country in fairness.

You are right.
If someone punched me in the face, I might well want to see the perpetrator see the inside of a prison but that doesn't mean that they would.
Are you singling out AT for special treatment?
