Conor McGregor thread.

Yeah just reading the court transcripts this morning and my gut says that she is going to lose.

Who’s taking pics of the jury though?
 
The grimmest thing about this case is the venue. Literally cannot imagine a more depressing place for a cocaine fuelled, ambiguously consensted bout of rough sex than the Beacon Hotel. It’s such a Conor McGregor choice.

Ah Jesus, the beacon in Sandyford? Yeah you're spot on. Grim spot. Stayed there for a couple of months over a decade ago and even then, when I was a poor student, it gave off weird vibes...
 
huh, She won the case. Very happy with that

feck Conor McGregor the absolute melt.
 
How did the woman lose the case against the other man?

Either way, Conor is a scumbag

Absolutely.

I think it's probably because it was only on his say-so that any sex between them occured and there was no DNA evidence. She said she didn't remember so didn't give any testimony about it. They could also have decided he was probably lying to help out the other prick's defence.
 
Quality control
I wonder if the people calling him a scum bag are the same people that idolise convicted rapist Mike Tyson
 
Big news, I was a fan back in the day but he has been a huge disappointment for years and this just cements him as being a terrible person.

Yes, so was I.

He could have been someone we could have been very proud of.

I now wish nothing but the worst for him. But sadly he will still probably fight again in the UFC one day and it’ll be the biggest ppv of the year whenever it happens
 
Might be a spot for him in Trumps cabinet
 
£206k in damages for rape. Peanuts.

Trump had to pay $5 million for sexually abusing a woman in a 2019 civil case, where the offence occurred in the mid 90's.

Seems like Irish courts take these charges far less seriously.
 
Should easily have been a million.

Absolute thug he is - thinks he can do whatever he wants.
 
I don't think he was coming back but surely that's him finished with the UFC?
Dana White has no morals. If McGregor can stay off the coke for a couple months he will get a fight

Edit: He gave Greg Hardy a contract
 
Also. The compensation seems very low. Shouldn’t it take into account his ability to pay?

No. The judge gave them clear instructions on that, and said his ability or the other lad's inability to pay shouldn't come into any conversation about damages.

He also told them not to go overboard but he also told them not to be stingy.


He warned them not to be "flaithiúil" or "stingy". They should keep a sense of proportion and fairness and should not consider whether Mr McGregor could afford to pay and Mr Lawrence could not.

He said there were no guidelines in cases such as this but he told them that in personal injury cases where someone had suffered quadriplegia, the maximum award for general damages would be €550,000.
In the most serious libel actions, he said the Supreme Court had ruled that general damages should not exceed €300,000.

He urged them not to go overboard if they came to the point of awarding punitive damages. They should not get carried away and they should forget about what courts in the USA might do.

However, they didn't award punitive damages which I found a little odd, given her injuries.

Or cheating drug addicts like Maradona?

Sport seems to blind people to ones character.

McGregor is a toe rag. He always was.
Lowlife.

I wouldn’t equate a sports cheat with rapists

Not that I idolise Maradona either, but there are levels
 
People have idolised bad people in every entertainment industry. Even R Kelly has fans still.

Complicated situation, that. As far as I can make out:

He was the one who claimed they had sex. She believed he was lying about it in an attempt to discredit her, with the implication in court being he was a "patsy" McGregor was presumably paying for that purpose.

But as she couldn't remember what happened, she couldn't be certain they didn't have sex either. So on the basis that he was claiming to have had sex with her at a point where she was too drunk to have consented (because she literally has no memory of it), she therefore pursued him for rape.

People are mad. I used to work with a girl who was very nice generally and was a fan of Chris Brown. One day she tried to argue that Rhianna started it. I was speechless.
 
Nothing surprising here. He went rogue a good few years back. At this point I actually just blame people around him (Dana, Kavanagh, etc) for not distancing themseleves from him but still trying to turn more money off his back.
 
I was considering a WUM like "why does everyone hate on Conor so much?"

but it wouldn't work with Conor, he's too much of a cnut for anyone to possibly say that
