Conor McGregor has been in the news recently for the wrong reasons and The Sunday Paper Review analysed his behaviour and what the future may hold.
Declan Lynch and Gavan Reilly were the guests on Off the Ball's paper segment and speaking to Joe Molloy, Reilly said: "There's this kind of shadow being cast, particularly in Ewan McKenna's piece - this whole notion that pride comes before a fall and the idea of his fairly cavalier attitude to his court date in Blanchardstown earlier in the week.
"And, it's funny, the two pieces we've actually picked out take a slightly different tack because Eamonn Sweeney, I think is rare among what you might call "mainstream journalists" - because I think it's the first time in a long time that someone's asking if Conor McGregor should be shown a little bit of latitude and for people to have a bit of patience with him.
"Whereas Ewan seems to think that any patience would be ill-spent because he seems to think that the is going to be careering off some terrible social curb where his life will go off the rails entirely.
"There was a particular line in it as well where he follows on, not just from the court date earlier this week but his behaviour at the Grand National an Aintree where people might remember they saw him going around in the shirt that was completely unbuttoned down to the navel and that night, he left a nite club with his hand cut.
"He left behind 'a trashed hotel suite without a care as a luxury car company owner had to call him out after seeing photos of him on the bonnet of a rented Rolls Royce giving the finger'.
"'Ultimately', Ewan continues, 'He took another selfie of himself on a private jet with a bag of cash - as if that made it ok.' This is the killer line: 'The Mayweather nonsense meant he had 100 million Euro more to do damage with and to bribe himself into thinking that it was all alright'".
