He's a modern day Georgie Best - has already displayed he is a man with real issues, and has made enemies with people who one doesn't take too lightly - won't end well

Seriously though, has he never seen rocky 3?!

What if he has impulsive behavioural issues?

There's an entire massive industry built around this stuff. Nobody is responsible for anything, it's all excused by some 'issue'.

And it's starting in primary or secondary school. ADD, ADHD, EBD, ODD, all 'issues' which essentially give people free reign to do wtf they want as 'they can't help it'.

Yeah like this is really important. We all know the North south divide is the Liffey. But what's the east west border? We need to know so we can insult people properly. This is great gas lads.

Maybe I should've said looks like a knacker instead..:D Then again some people are easily triggered :rolleyes:

He was born and raised in Crumlin which is South Dublin. He moved to Lucan in 2006. But in no way is he from West Dublin.

My post was very much tongue in cheek. I couldn't give a damn about McGregor.

Knacker is fine. It's the pedant in me that can't deal with geographical inaccuracies!

I just wish that someone that has achieved so much in sport could be a better role model for the kids of Dublin and not behave like the thug that he did.

He has a wonderful opportunity to help so many if he had the heart to do so.

It's not sportsperson, or celebrity's responsibility to be a child's role model. The line gets trotted out all too often. That's entirely their parents and families job.

It would be great if all were, but it's not his job. Plus he's in a sport where he gets paid a fortune for battering people, not what kids should in reality getting exposed to.

Again, as before I say this as someone who doesn't have much time for MMA or Conor McGregor whatsoever

He has certainly achieved a lot in his career. I was very surprised though that his popularity did not translate into votes for his sister Erin in Dancing with the Stars,

Perhaps a different socio-demographic viewership?

you should do some research into these issues, relatively common, and very complex, talk to those that have these kind of issues. i have add myself, feel free to ask me anything. those that commit crimes should of course be punished, including me, but successful rehabilitation is critical

McGregor will see no jail time, will probably have to pay a small fine and wont get any restrictions put on his visa. The UFC wont sue him. If you believe otherwise then you spend too much time on the Dailymail.

JupiterKid

I think McGregor is a venal thug who will eventually get what he deserves.

20 from now it’ll be interesting to see where he is or how he’s doing.

He'll get a fine and some community service.
The fighters that got injuried will sue him. They lost their earnings so will definitely want to be reimbursed.

JupiterKid

I sincerely hope McGregor gets jail time. He is utterly defiant and full of himself. IMO UFC is a so called sport for thugs and worse. He may be the big rich guy at the moment but money can be blown very quickly and in 2038 people may be asking “Conor Who?” Oh yeah that POS that ended up pretty much a down and out. That was a sad tale.

I have my own views on boxing but the less I opine about that the better.

On another note, I’m also very close to being done completely with After Hours. The lightheartedness and banter and reasoned debate is almost all gone out of it and now it’s just a little stagnant pond filled with very angry and very opinionated individuals who love to bicker, shout each other down, rant and generally seem very angry at the world and others around them. The bigotry - particularly die-hard republicans stuck permanently in the early 1970s, the general xenophobia and misogyny and exaltation of drink above all else is really eye opening. There are a few good and decent posters here and I wish them well - if they decide to stick around.

I will continue in other threads that I’m involved on in boards.ie as the discussion does seem to be much more civilised, intelligent and mutually respectful. I’m not finding being on AH good for my mental health and well being. I might add that I’m no novice and a longstanding admin on another Irish web forum.

I don’t care what mud you sling at me. I’ve been here 14 years and I’m on
a knife edge to waving a permanent goodbye to the sad, angry and bitter forum AH has turned into.

What an incredibly vain self indulgent post. If ya leave good luck. This is the pizz take part of an annoymous online forum in Ireland if you "depart ways" its not Roy Keane in Saipan. No one cares. Some come some go.
Meh is going to be your response.
That Going away party and farewell with the processco on tap sadly isnt coming.

14 years eh.
We were there in the trenches man, bodies flew everywhere we were inches from death man.
14 years its been!. Brothers in arms baby.

Oh wait your talking about leaving a online forum page whinging that theres too much whinging and 14 years is some "badge of honour".
No its not. No one cares.
I for one wont be attending your holier than thou poor me farewell party.

+1 On this
There's lads on here that will say anything, some are so disrespectful and rude, and it could be about everything and anything... They have a way with words, never attacking the post but in their own disrespectful way attacking the poster in a hateful nasty filthy way that no man would lower themselves to defend..

I didn't watch that dancing crap but I did see her at one point fabricating some backstory and pontificating about overcoming the odds and how she's some sort of example to those who want to follow their dreams..

To great applause.

Incorrect.

MMA is a sport, the same way wrestling, jujitsu and boxing is a sport.

UFC is a promotions company, the same way WWE is a promotions company.
