Could some nerd set up a crowd fund site that we could donate to. It would be a massive FECKYOU to all the misinformed haters.
I'd donate.

My guess is, most supporters and thousands of ex supporters and sports fans would donate.

Someone set the damn thing up. Obviously I'm not responsible enough. I still have nightmares about losing that sponsored walk money in P7. I think my older brother may have used it for alcohol. He swears it was just resting in his pocket.

Before doing so-- ask the question do you think he would accept the money ?

Personally I am
of the opinion the Court should pay the cost -- because the prosecution assumed guilt when forming the charges and considered that they could prove the case based on defamation of Character using ill-considered banter between a group of males ;presenting that evidence at the earliest opportunity in an attempt to prejudice the jury .( And Public )

And having done so enable the twitteratti to seriously disrupt and prolong the trial .

Even if they had been found guilty the case was so badly distorted there were a multitude of grounds to appeal that verdict .

Quite so Ron'n.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

An appeal wouldn't have taken long to bring out some serious reasons for the case being a mistrial

Interesting read. Lacks a bit of balance.

If the reports are true that PJs father's pension fund was raided to pay for the unnecessary defence, then I hope that there would be no question of any funds raised by UR supporters being accepted. PJ's father is a UR supporter, and is more than deserving of support from all of us.
Would somebody get the damned thing going?

And in passing, can anyone provide informed opinion on why the question of costs is not determined by an independent judge? The trial judge must have a pre determined view.

That is spot on... But could go further by saying the 'match day experience' is a load of shyte and that fooking band is a microcosm of all that is wrong about Ulster rugby

There is a legacy from last season -- Yes the results are similar but it was the manner of the defeats Ulster leaked at the seams last year and Kiss couldn't stop the rot. The legacy of the lack of Loyalty to players when found innocent which followed a kick in the teeth by the IRFU of one most respected players to play for Ulster for the flimsiest excuse: and one of essentials of an Ulster Personality -- and something which most Ulster poeple respect is Loyalty -- regardless of which side of the divide your from -- you respect loyalty . This was compounded by a mass retirement of experienced and respected players and a lack of Senior Coaches created a lack of expectation in Ulster Supporters.

THE IRFU destroyed the Tree of Ulster Rugby and the expectation of supporters.

Judge Smyth :
This was a complex police investigation and the prosecution was warranted, albeit the jury did not consider that the charges had been proved beyond reasonable doubt. The evidence bore the characteristics of a Rubik cube, capable of bearing myriad conclusions, depending on the jury's view of the evidence. But those were conclusions for the jury to reach, and not the prosecution.
"Having considered all of the relevant factors, I am satisfied that there is no basis for exercising my discretion in the applicants' favour. The applications are therefore dismissed.
Reading that would give you the impression that the jury were minded to convict but had doubts.
Whereas, going by the length of time they took reach their verdicts (on numerous charges), it's obvious that they had no doubts at all.
But, in any event, no one should be entitled to second guess a jury's verdict.

If you're found not guilty you should be entitled to recover your costs from the people who prosecuted you.
The prosecution being protected from paying the other side's costs is about as clear example of moral hazard as you could imagine.
