Murder at the Cottage | Sky

It's the horny Guard with the blue Fiesta, I take it?

Not a great interview, he barely had time to answer any of the questions. An opportunity missed. Sounds like he's going with the Gemma O'Doherty scenario with the cattle rustlin, womanising, knuckle dragging garda in a blue Fiesta.

Yep. I think Tommy would have a done a good interview with him

I mean before the murder.

After the murder I'm sure plenty of people would be saying how well they knew her.

There's nothing concrete to suggest that he knew her and even you must find it somewhat surprising that he didn't write about her if, as you believe, he knew her.

The sad thing about that interview is that those kind of moments is what the vast majority of the public only get to see of the case. Posters like us on here are in a very small minority of people who have and continue to research what happened.

I remember when I was younger and always saw pictures of Bailey on the front of the Evening Herald, the media would use a picture outside of court and purposefully use whatever photo he looked angriest in to portray him as a man who got away with murder. People look at it and automatically think that chap looks evil and is guilty as sin.

Maybe he did get away with it who knows, but the way garda and media have treated that man is nothing short of shameful and a stain on our country IMO.

Just watched part 2 of the Fr Molloy case. Outlines that Garda files and forensic evidence went missing.

Sound familiar?

Back then, we are either dealing with Garda corruption or the most incompetent police force in the world

Also, one of the most annoying aspects of this whole thing has to be the morons who claim it's Baileys fault because he loves attention, even the interviewer went down that line of questioning.

It's almost like some people think he ID'd himself as the killer to the cops. Whether he killed her or not, do people really think he'd enjoy being fingered as a suspect FFS.

He never denied he knew of her and knew her to see. That's not really knowing her though is it. I'm sure there is a lot of people around West cork that knew Sophie to see but didn't know her personally. There is a big difference.

Well that was interesting... Like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

So, Collette Fitzgerald transformed into Mrs Rothweiler with sore bolloxs to interview the still presumed innocent Ian Bailey...

That was one of the most aggressive interviews I have ever witnessed.. What happened to being impartial?

I thought Bailey would clobber her with his crutch! Now that would be interesting!

Has he a problem with drink? How many drinks last night? Seriously - Who cares!!

Mrs Rothweiler had a perfect opportunity to preen information from the man in the know -The former prime suspect Ian Bailey. She could have delved into his theory that a man from Bantry was the murderer... Could have got him to open up about the murder investigation, why the Gards failed in so many area's.

Christ, she practically said there was no Garda negligence in the murder inquiry???

She was interrogating him on beating Jules... We know all this. We know Bailey has an unpleasant side, he's addressed it countless times.

For me, this was a completely wasted interview.

Was she there to just set traps? Catch him out? Make tomorrows headlines? Was this just another hatchet job?

Bailey stated that Sophie wasn't the mast attractive woman..... That's his opinion. That's how he see's her. That's his call...

You forget (if it's true), The Babe Farrell was seen by many men too be a good catch.. Wasn't she a Mother of five? Didn't fella's drop their pants and jocks at the sight of her? Didn't the invisible man indulge in driving her around the coast at 4am in the morning? These guys all found her desirable.. Most others would see a slapper looking for a length in the back of her van.

Disappointing from start to finish.... You'd miss Gaybo!

He said he didn’t even know her to see in one of the recent interviews. I think it’s in the West Cork podcast.
