I clicked on to the Bel Tel web page earlier this morning. The headline story was Paddy's court bid to recover his legal costs and the headline was worded something along those lines. I just clicked on again there now and the headline has been changed. It now reads 'Paddy Jackson Wants Taxpayer to Fund Legal Costs' or something similar. A minor change or something which slants the story in an unfavourable way?

Noone likes us. We don't care.

Someone who will never be funding the Bel Tel ever again is me.
Their behaviour in reporting this issue has been a complete farce and a disgrace. Totally one sided. The tax payer funded the whole fùcking sham because of police and PPS incompetence, why should an innocent man suffer?
It's a gutter rag no more interested on reporting news, but just dealing in tittle-tattle and misery.
None of them had the balls to stand up to the shambles on the pitch for fear of losing their wee special arrangement with UR. I hope UR tell them to go feck their back page articles and stick their sponsorship up their jam roll.

Logically, the Bank of Ireland should now be asking all existing and prospective account holders to hand over their social media messages so that the Bank can decide whether or not they are suitable people to hold accounts with them.

The statement is now on the BBC website as well on this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-43739327

They reference the need for ‘decisions to be taken’ while also mentioning the need for ‘policies and procedures to be put in place.’

...and yet the Bank are clearly happy to have Conor 'You Take One End, Simon, I'll Take The Other' Murray as a 'brand ambassador' for the current season, as part of their sponsorship of Munster.

That's the boys screwed then. Sponsorship money seems to be the only language Logan understands.

To be fair, it's not Logan this time. Don't think UR has any say in the decision.

I googled " Bank of Ireland apology" and it's clear we should not have them as a sponsor anyway.

I've only read the BBC account but it looks like they're only calling for policies and procedures be put in place' presumably to deal with the future, not the past. I wonder is this just BOI throwing its hands up in horror for all to see but not really wanting to walk away. This will play well to many of their customers but not drive others away. If UR put out the usual 'strongly worded statement', publicise well a new raft of principles of conduct and suspend the boys for a year (or whatever), backdated to when they were sent on gardening leave, things could go well. If the boys themselves play this properly, they could even start parallel careers as reformed characters promoting respect for women! There's a host of talk shows just waiting to welcome them.
Actually, I'm not sure myself whether those last two sentences were tongue in cheek or serious.

[Rooster]

The banks said it expects the internal review to be "robust, to fully address the issues raised, and that decisions will be taken – and policies and protocols be put in place – that fully address the issues that have arisen".

That does not actually say they want rid of them

[rumncoke]

If I were Ulster Rugby I would be demanding an enquiry into why this case ever went to court because not only is the victimisation now being directed at the innocent accused but also at their employer .

now every sponsor has a right to decide who or what he wishes to sponsor the fact that they have made their statement before any review has been completed could well influence that outcome of that review. It could possibly leave them open accusation of victimisation and a claim for a serious amount compensation by both Jackson and Olding .

The Ulster Branch could also have a claim should any other sponsor be influenced by their statement .

I don't think either of them will be taking up the opportunity to appear on 'Loose Women' any time soon....

+1 Couldn' t have said it better myself. It's a rag of a paper and as i said before, it might be local news but there's definitely a ROI slant to the way news is reported.

I have to say this post is a bit of a disappointment, given the quality of your previous five.

Maybe I have a different definition of 'misogyny' than Baggy and the protesters (I think I heard them in McMordie Hall back in the day).

I don't think the messages that people are getting upset about display a hatred of women. A very ungentlemanly or even unhealthy attitude towards women; but underlying hatred? No.
