What you fail to realise is that what I have highlighted ever so crudely is the embarrassment she faced that morning

I have every sympathy with that embarrassment what I do not excuse is her actions because of it .

She lied and lied and lied and has seriously ruined the lives of two young men they didn’t seek her out but caught in the web of her fantasy .

Well said Rum!

The #ibelieveher has literally died a death. I will be impressed if there are more than 20 protestors on Friday. Any nonsense in the ground and I hope the PSNI and Eventsec deal with them swiftly and they are prosecuted if breaking the law.

We are dignified, we don't agree with online witch hunts. We believe in a fair society. I hope every Ulsterman ignores these looneys and treats them with the disdain they deserve. I also hope the protestors don't take advantage of our good nature.

Is it just me, or every fecking time Rum starts a post off with a ... patented patronising prefix like above ... I read the rest of the post in a "Captain's" voice ... and find myself wishing Paul Newman had brained him with a shovel.

I think Rum has accused me of failing to understand one of his posts. I'd worry more if I did understand a Rummy post.

It wasn’t a failure to communicate but mockery is a very strong weapon — and I have been the subject of mockery from a young age

About 170 according to their Facebook group, then again I wonder how many are genuinely going ?

I hope the Samba drums turn up. Maybe they could become a permanent fixture. But only if the promise to drown out the Brassers which I assume means brass band?

Update - 11.05am: A former captain of Ireland and the Lions has told the 'Today with Sean O'Rourke' programme on RTÉ Radio 1 that Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding should be "back to doing what they do best and that is playing rugby".

Paddy Jackson, 26, and Stuart Olding, 25, were unanimously acquitted in Belfast Crown Court last month of raping the same woman at a party at Jackson's south Belfast home in June 2016. Jackson was also found not guilty of sexual assault.

Today, a Belfast court is to consider whether reporting restrictions imposed during the Belfast rape trial should now be lifted.

Also today, an ad was placed in the Belfast Telegraph calling for Jackson and Olding to be reinstated to the Ulster rugby team.

Willie John McBride, President of the Official Supporters Club of Ulster Rugby, said this morning that while he does not know the men at all, he felt that it was time they were allowed back to the game, having been found not guilty.

He said: "As far as I'm concerned, these young men have learned their lesson. It's time they got back to doing what they do best and that is playing rugby."

We've all done silly things.

The former Ireland international told Sean O'Rourke that, while he does not understand WhatsApp, he found it very sad and silly that they got involved in this.

"There's no question about it', Mr McBride said "that these WhatsApp messages brought the game into disrepute".

When put to Mr McBride the amount of alcohol taken by Olding, he laughed saying "he's some drinker", before adding that he did not believe that that was the amount he had that night, even though that was the evidence given.

Mr McBride, referring to past Lions Tour controversies that were not taken as seriously or given the same amount of exposure, then said: "Alcohol is one of the biggest problems in all of these things."

He also said that Ulster Rugby should not have to apologise for the behaviour of the two men, but they should be reprimanded.


Willie John McBride.
He said: "You can't be held responsible for their conduct in off-time, if you want to put it that way.

However, he said that they both conducted themselves very well while on camera every day throughout the trial.

He said: "They carried themselves very well through that, hopefully people will see that these are not bad young men."

New Common wealth record, forget the wee spide spinning round on the wooden chair thing ... Rum brought home the bacon.

I'll have you know that young Rhys comes from a very good family and is not a spide, mind you I'm sure his mother who is a teacher, winced with me when he said something, in that grating form of words, "I done ....." the word as I'm sure your mother has told you Rhys is, "did". FFFS.

I hope they do turn up, I want to shake them warmly by the hand, congratulate them for caring, tell them that I share a good many of their beliefs, tell them I believe they have got this particular episode wrong and wish them a pleasant good evening demonstrating, as is their right, though that C'unt Thatcher, Twiggie's mate, did her very best to stifle all demonstrations and protests the evil filthy wicked old bag of chopped up shyte.
