The ulster rugby trial

[TabClear]

Said tweet now deleted. He was the one that got kicked off the panel last year for having a go at the management.

Clearly not the sharpest tool in the box. Good job he deleted that tweet, no one will see it now....

What sort of bollix is Gary Walsh? For those not on Twitter he said...

"Where's your ones name from the Paddy Jackson trail? It's her that should be destroyed in the papers now, all yee feminists come at me, I'll throw the kitchen sink at ya."

I think the answer is 'Two ends of one'.

Legal bill likely to be in the hundreds of thousands for each defendant. Jackson and Olding will need contracts in France to pay for it all!

Heard PJ paid 300,000 up front?

Gary Walsh of Laois will have landed himself in some bother with his tweet today hopefully

Mr. Walsh deserves to be charged with bringing the GAA into disrepute and be landed with a nice little ban for his trouble.

Even three months would comfortably cover the entirety of Laois's championship campaign.

Laois. The inbreeding capital of Irwland

Can't see anything on his Twitter from today? Anyone able to DM me what he said?

He's been in bother before hasn't he?? Sounds like he's a bit light in the head!

Always seems grossly unfair that you can be found not guilty and still taken to the cleaners.

Being found not guilty is not the same as being found innocent.

A person who is acquitted of a crime is now not innocent? In who's eyes? Syferus'?

Nonetheless I still think it's unfair.  Put your prejudice aside for one moment f you can.  So you think a genuinely innocent person in the same scenario should be out of pocket hundreds of thousands of pounds?

He's correct. How many times does this have to be repeated on this thread and this forum?!

Jackson, or indeed all four of them, may be 100% innocent. The "not guilty" verdict does not, however, declare them innocent. It means they haven't been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

For someone in the profession it's pretty mind blogging that you'd even try to pull someone up on that of all things. You can choose to believe this verdict completely excuses all evidence to the contrary, but that is not what the verdict does in any shape or form.

Post up all the evidence to the contrary there Syf.

I accept that but a civilised society has to accept the rule of law?

Are we just to disregard the whole trial because of a few snippets of information gleaned in 240 character bursts and decide these lads are guilty anyway because it sounds like it? One thing they are guilty of is being complete assholes but alas this is not a crime!!
