01.12.2024 14:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Iโm not disagreeing. Iโm just saying why I think he has local support based on some experience.
30.11.2024 13:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Itโs still an accepted narrative around where heโs from, as the vote shows. Most people there are decent folk and, as you say, have suffered more than most from the drug trade but they donโt connect Hutch with that. No way would they vote for a drug dealer.
30.11.2024 13:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yeah, Iโm not trying to justify him in anyway. He has successfully distanced himself from the local drug trade. The narrative is he robbed from the rich and got lucky with property. Lots of blind eyes turned.
30.11.2024 12:41 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1I know a lot of people around the north inner city who think highly of him. He set up the boxing club and has given money to people whoโve run into financial problems. I know one lad who he paid for a holiday to reward him for getting clean from drugs. Different world.

23.11.2024 00:37 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, Iโm chuffed. Before direct flights, I used to fly to Sofia via Frankfurt or Paris. Bucharest might be another option, especially if thereโs a bus to Plovdiv from there (should be). Itโs a nice stadium and Plovdiv is a really lovely city.
23.11.2024 00:10 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Fly to Manchester, get a flight to Plovdiv. Think a direct flight isnโt feasible. Direct flight home was โฌ350 earlier today. Itโll cost me about โฌ2 to get there as I live 40km from the stadium luckily enough.

Went for beer earlier here in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria, where I now live and met a guy at the bar who tells me how me met his hero in Dublin a few years ago because his mate lives beside him. Yeah, McGregor. Had to break the news that most Irish people hate him. He was genuinely stunned.

Thatโs technically correct but the rapist Conor McGregor would have a hard job bringing a libel case against anyone who said it.
