I didn't even properly read the link I posted, looks like he sold the brand in 2021. Unless he still profits off the promotion side of it, he's made his money from the brand. Anyway, drop in the ocean for that lad but I'm glad his name has been tarnished. Not that his scrote credentials were ever in doubt. He made some comment during the trial that it "wasn't in his nature" or words to that effect. Some laugh. It was very much in his nature when he lamped some auld fella in a pub because he wouldn't drink his whiskey. He's a fucking thug and always has been. I remember when he first came on the MMA scene, I was much more into the UFC back then. I was initially glad that Ireland finally had a decent fighter but I can't honestly remember the last fight I wanted him to win. Tbh if he was fighting that clown Jake Paul tomorrow, I know who I'd be going for.

Some craic with the story about the fella who killed the Canadian tourist a while back. Granted bail after already absconding. On a murder charge..

Will have to read more because I don't know the story but it looks bad if that's how it went

This entire thread is a subject which is obviously going to cause arguments and debates but please keep it civil.


I really wish we still had the death penalty.

Poor doggy, glad he made a recovery! There's no excuse for an animal to suffer no matter your circumstances, there are options.


Read a couple of reports that the little girl was trying to protect the mother.

That's really fucking depressing hearing of a little kid going out like that

Apparently it was the Father that killed her by slitting her throat. As usual with this stuff very little being told to the public letting rumours start then they can say 'far right' misinformation being spread etc.

Look I don't think this can be looked at from an immigration angle at all because it was all in-house but I do get how the media will react when any crime involves foreign nationals. The Shepherd will say that's right, I will say that's wrong but at the end of the day a little girl has been violently murdered and I wish we had the death sentence for people who do things like that but instead he will be put up at my expense for however many years he gets. It's just an awful awful fucking crime

I never mentioned immigration if anything people will be focusing more on the guys religious background but my point in my last post was that as usual the lack of information given due to what looks to be the perpetrators background is just fuelling the spreading of rumours. RTE had an article up yesterday with quotes from the Guards about the spread of misinformation from far right and anti-immigration groups. What do they expect when they pick and choose what to tell people based who has committed the crime.

Was it not released since yesterday that they'd arrested a foreign national from the Middle East on suspicion of murder of the poor girl? Maybe that was just from "sources" rather than the Gardai. Or maybe you're talking about lack of information about the grislier details?

Grislier details as in what the guys name or background? All I have seen mentioned about him in any of the articles I read was that he is 34.

Wasn't being sarky (I try not to be with cases like this). Haven't seen his name given, but the articles I read yesterday were saying he's a foreign national, one specifying from the Middle East (can't remember which paper was reporting that). Today some of the tabloids (Mirror, etc.) are reporting from "sources" (which I take to mean not official garda channels) that he was recently released from prison in the UK (fraud charge) where he moved a few years ago after first living in New Ross, and also that he killed her by cutting her throat.

There was an interview with an imam or whatever on Rte news yesterday so they're clearly a Muslim family. The case being what it is, a father murdering his daughter, I don't see why they would need to bring their religion into it.
