    I remember the days when any criticism of his behaviour was met with "it's all an act. He's sound in real life." Those folks seem to have gone a bit quiet now.

    I met him through a friend before he was famous and he was sound. Bit of a cheeky chap but sound. Looks like the money and fame has gone to his head. He'll do time for that, I reckon.

    This wasn't very clever at all, good chance it could remove any future earning potential from UFC.

    Or they're loving the attention they're getting, again because of Mr MacGregor

    There’s a frog in my garden pond with more intelligence than McGregor.

    How will today’s incident make him money? You’ll have to explain your line of thinking.

    Maybe they are, but there's nothing they can do if he gets prosecuted because of today and is refused permission to re-enter the US in future.

    Yes I'm sure his wife and young child are thrilled by his latest escapades

    he's not married.
    plus she's only 1 of 3 women with a McGregor baby apparently.

    Maybe he needs a bollocking off the wife then.

    Yes, I'm sure that will stop him acting like a scumbag.

    Hmm. I wonder did CmG get any ideas from the previous incident in a pub in Dublin. Bit of publicity...

    Time to add him to the list of idiots we would prefer not to come back to Ireland permanently

    Bono, Brian McFadden, Bob Geldof , Bertie Ahern

    All the b's. B is also for bollox.

    McGregor is a bollox

    You still haven’t explained how fûcking a barrier at a bus is good for his future money making opportunities? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭old_aussie


    I think Conor's only fights from now on will be in a court of law.

    Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team surrounded Artem Lobov (Good friend of Conor McGregor) 2 days ago and Khabib slapped Artem. Conor flew 30 people from Ireland to New York and attacked Khabib's bus.

    From twitter, where McGregor is being praised for being such a loyal friend, flying from Ireland to NY

    Conor is a Irish legend.

    Diana couldn't have bought this publicity.

    A low IQ thug drunk on the adolation of his fan base of angry frustrated young men.

    Why is that description always trotted out when anything to do with UFC or MMA comes up? Frustrated at what? Angry at what?

    Nate Diaz the man who beat Conor said this on Twitter.....

    Not talking about McGregor. I think he's a thick. I'm saying anytime UFC or MMA is brought up there's always someone who'll describe fans of it as angry frustrated young men. Just wondering why.

    Wrong.
    McGregor was already in Ny.
    Artem lobov was having a go at khabib during the press conference and brought this on himself.

    Everything about him annoys me. I used to despise him, but now I grudgingly respect him for the sheer effort he must put into annoying the likes of me.

    Was wondering when this derpy post would make its appearance. And you managed to mention begrudgery too before that.

    Yes, Los Lobos, yes, everyone’s just jealous.

    Did you not see the video from the other day? With his crew??

    I think the adulation of sports stars in this country is utterly stupid, hysterical and absurd, not that that is a unique characteristic of Ireland but we we must be one of the worst.

    I am sick to fooking death of hearing the surnames of sports ppl mentioned every single day morning till night week in week out, month in month out, year in year out, injured or fit, retired or promoted, emerging star or retired. It's just so sad that so many people don't seem to do anything else in their lives than follow sport, especially sports controversies, which are never-ending ,tedious and ultimately pointless, plonked in front of the television set.

    For me it really says something about the dreary mundane inconsequential lives most working ppl lead that would leave them feeling they have nowhere to go than get involved in all this childish, tribalistic, hero-worshiping money making racket, where for most their interest in it has nothing particularly to do with the love of a particular sport per se but rather as an opportunity to prove their masculinity, display their expert analysis skills about somethings which is actually quite low brow, and in turn bathe in the satisfaction of approval they perceive to receive from their peers. Just like those guys that pelted missiles at that coach the other day : )

    As for McGregor I couldn't care less whether he's an angel or a deamon, I would just like it if ppl would shut the fook up about him, if only for just 5 fookin minutes.

    Neither did I. I said lobov had a go at khabib during the press conference. Lobov started the whole thing

    So just a gang up is OK, but budda forbid a window gets broken... OK. (no one got hurt)
    Tbh, I find this whole thing strange. Its going down the road of a new twist on wrestling grudges....

    People like to trounce on sports they haven't a liking for and a negative story breaking about someone competing in such is an ideal time to push their underlying hate to the forefront for the occasion :D

    Wrong....Khabib slapped Lobov backstage while he had his crew and Lobov had none.
    Conor came and backed his pal.
    Not saying it's right but that's what happened.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,377 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Both the best and worst that can be said is that the video looks like 90s WWE pantomime.

    What a classless clown he has recently revealed himself to be. It just goes to show, sycophants create monsters.
