In the wake of the not guilty verdicts in the Ulster rugby rape trial, legal representatives for the player say they are "monitoring everything" including "social media commentary, WhatsApp, Google searches". This also includes protest marches held around the country.
"We are setting down a marker," Mr Jackson's solicitor in Belfast said.

"We won't hesitate to issue proceedings."



It's an admirable stance against the cowardly online vigilante mob. It's a sad reflection of how phoney a society we live in that a man who makes a self-serving PR apology is widely praised while another who stands up for himself is hounded by a mob of idiots. While I feel his bravery will backfire in terms of his career, it's a heroic stance against bullies and the action of a man who fully believes in his own innocence.

While i agree about the "social justice warriors" stuff after everything that has come out i would be very loathe to attach the term heroic to a person who conducts themself the way he does.

Having a threesome and calling yourself a top shagger is hardly a hanging offence, seems to me thats the norm with these WhatsApps messages with young ones nowadays, not how it was in my day but we weren't saints either when it came to talking about sexual exploits.

The PC brigade are having a fit but if they actually had a look at their sons and daughters phones they'd see stuff that could well fall into what's been shown at this court case..

Remember watching a thing about Colin stag and how he was hounded by everyone. And even after they caught the real killer the accusations  never left him completely, cause people are thick

Nope! Not in the slightest but you probably thought since their release that they should never have got out!

It was an overwhelming verdict and you still believe she was telling the truth? Crave attention much?

Can Twitter or FB be sued for failing to regulate all this defamation?

That would be great. The level of ignorance about the justice system and the case itself on twitter is ... I was going to type shocking or staggering, actually it's very predictable.

It would strongly appear that the biggest level of ignorance about the justice system came from the jury itself.

Given that the foreperson was on the internet within hours blabbing after being specifically instructed not to do so by the judge, I would suggest the chances that that juror was not doing their own research on the trial as it progressed are slim.

You read what he said?

I'm well able to read, thanks. If only the same could be said for you.

You read the case through twitter and still favoured a guilty verdict, well read is something you ain't

I'm well read enough to know when to put a full stop at the end of a sentence, at least.

Oh, and I still think they did it, by the way. I'd be quite up front about that.

Yeah,  you probably think the Birmingham six did it also and the Guildford four!

Full stop! Dick.

No, that would have been you, pal.

Since you're always so confident in the judicial process, like.

The same judicial system let them go. Pal

Find a job that you like and you'll never work a day in your life

That too!

Was going to get into a business a while back (Christ, 5 years ago) did the whole business plan and was able to get a backer interested, as i was never able to get full amount..ended up I just worked out that for me I'd have had wage but no real ownership and yes, while I'd have close to half a business to sell on for retirement purposes I wasn't ready to do all the hard work for someone else!

But it's a nagging feeling, although I've a great job now and love my job it was something that I did very well in and would have improved it..

If you believe in it do it!

Nearly as predictable as your stance on everything in this thread.

Asked you a question but you are full of shit that you avoided it again.. tool

A lot of it ain't defamation.

Hopefully Paddy has plenty of time to be suing people over the next six or seven years.

With your legal mind what is defamation ?

Haven't  seen the twitter stuff but the shite on Facebook would sicken your hole!

I've deleted about 10, I haven't commented about the case on Facebook but by hack I've wanted too

I also cannot get away from the thought in my head that this should this girl be 100% telling the truth, effectively she couldn't reasonably have done any more to get a conviction. It really bothers me to be honest. I've many other thoughts on this case and the wider issues it highlights which I'll not share here because they're only my opinions and I'd be here until Christmas defending them as there's a level of my personal judgement based on what I've heard, seen and experienced.

Olding was initially charged with vaginal rape as a result of the initial statements by the complainant. The fact that she changed her story doesn't impact on your opinion about her 100% telling the truth?

Did you actually read what he said before you fell over yourself to defend the top shaggers again?

Their only crime! Top shaggers! How's the law course coming along? Judge yet??

Don't do twitter! This would be the only social media thingy I'd be on..

Some wild stuff!

Are people losing their minds?

Don't do twitter! This would be the only social media thingy I'd be on..
