Ilia Topuria is something really, really special.

Chimaev too if he actually bothers to keep fighting.

How come the McGregor case going through the Civil court, and not the Criminal court, given the extend of the accusations against him.

How come the McGregor case going through the Civil cour, and not the Criminal court, given the extend of the accusations against him.

Barrister friend tells me the DPP concluded there was insufficient evidence to likely secure a conviction. And not the first time.

Civil trial has a lower bar. But have to be careful with reading too much into the opening day, especially statements by the prosecution lawyer, even if the initial medical evidence seemed very strongly against him.

Confirmed on Rte.ie just now
"A woman who alleges she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel almost six years ago has said she was "absolutely devastated" and let down when the Director of Public Prosecutions decided not to prosecute him for the alleged assault."

McGregor never married. Going with his other half from years before he was famous?

Strange one..no?

[gawa316]

Getting in early but anyone have a site that will stream the fight tonight?

[Don Cockburn]

This trial is an another example about how common cocaine use amongst young people.
A couple of hairdressers and an international athlete got stuck into it as part of a normal night out.

You would  wonder about ""the Dpp"" A faceless organisation with no oversight at all, independent of the gardai , how do we know? , a perfect place to stop a case going forward be it, rape, murder, etc , A gardai file that nobody else ever gets to see, goes to the Dpp,  they report back  "" not enough evidence"", Case closed , Nobody can ask any questions , no body knows who is on the DPP  , nobody knows who pick them , . My conclusion  The Dpp has far too much power with no over sight, In so many murder cases around Ireland they end up being Judge and Jury , THis needs to be brought to attention with Drew Harris and minister for Justice etc

[gallsman]

You say "independent of the gardai" as if that's a bad thing. You think the cops should be the investigators, the arresting force AND the prosecutor?!

As for it being faceless or "nobody knows who is on the DPP", it has it's own website with its organisation FFS.

FFFS   I want  The DPP to be independent of gardai, but I don't believe it is

AS for their Website, It is cross between  an advertisement and an user Manuel

Only  one person  Name on the site   The Director of  (DPP), who is  Ms. Catherine Pierse,

 , THat is only one we know on DPP officially as far as I can see

I do know of  one  Arrogant Ex cop that was  appointed To the dpp a few years back  , Only reason we know is he put himself on a local newspaper showing off I guess

Lets put it this way he wouldn't be my choice , Not a very transparent organisation

Now Gallsman If you can fill me on its membership , governance etc please do ,

McGregor found guilty

[Square Ball]

McGregor found guilty

He really is a hateful ballix of a person. Must admit I used to admire him years ago when he first came to promanance, then he just became a ballix and all about him and money.

[Saffrongael]

His mate found not guilty

[Truthsayer]

A sc**bag and national embarrassment. Went on social media to encourage riots when Far Right was out looting and saving Ireland. A self entitled a**hole.. should be jailed
