[Apparently so]

Strange how its acceptable to make jokes about a murder just because it has happened in another Country yet if someone on here even tries to discuss some murders that have happened in this Country there is a furore and threads are taken down etc.

Aye - no knee`d for it

[BennyHarp]

Don`t think he has a leg to stand on here

This trial could run and run

This must be some sort of record, the same joke appearing three times in the first 2 pages of a thread.

[Hardy]

This joke could run and run.

Is it really that strange to you? Seriously?

Just don't get the double standards that you get on here, a few weeks ago a young Tyrone footballer is alleged to have murdered his father yet the thread was pulled.  Here we have a case where another fella who is alleged to have murdered his girlfriend yet the thread remains with the jokes intact.

Not saying that it should or should not have been pulled nicro ... thats another argument, but I can't believe you're struggling with the differences here.

Do you really think the families involves in this tragedy will ever visit the GAA board? There's the difference right there.

Not struggling with any differences, but whether the families of tragedy x or y chose to visit a certain website is their own prerogative but that shouldn't be a reason to remove a particular topic.

I think he's being charged today.

And to think only 2 days ago he had the world at his....oh wait...

This will be a crazy trial.  I wonder will there be a Johnny Cochrane style figure who will come in and run the show.  It will definitely be a media led trial.

An additional element to this trial from the perspective of the media is that the late Reeva Steenkamp was rather pretty. We'll be seeing photos of her in gorgeous pouting mode on a near-daily basis. Grim stuff.

And lo! the Scum hasn't let me down with, as The Media Blog puts it, "an opportunity to perv". Anyone who thinks that rag has changed one jot since Hillsborough is deluded.

[HiMucker]

Apparently he shot her because she was lack-toes-intolerant

He has track record for this sort of thing

And now it begins, I know it's the Scum but surely even they should have had more sense.  Cue the big hoking now for more stories by the gutter snipes.

They'd always "lead" the way in this type of reporting, they'll jump first and it gives the others leeway to follow suit.

Nike will regret this ad...

Nike will regret this ad...

Nike advertising must be cursed. From Sergei Bubka back in 1992 through to Tiger Woods their big names let them down.
No pressure Rory.

[CorkMan]

Said on the news that he shot her 4 times through the bathroom door.

[NAG1]

I know this is in another country and I know they will never read the Gaaboard but at the same time it is someone's life and death and to me that is not really a theme for people to be laughing at. But its all opinions on here and that is what makes it good.

Nike will be OK I'm sure. After all if they can sell shoes using the image of a man with no feet then I guess they can do pretty much anything.
