Well. I was brought up in a poor Catholic household in a Catholic town in Mid Ulster and this case is another reason I'm glad about that!! We all had nothing - we are as common as muck!!!

But our community is so strong!! I would HATE to belong to another community rather her ham my nationalist one. I love mine. The oppressed always have qualities that are superior to the oppressors'...it simply stands to reason.

Bumble I am so sorry and wish that justice could be done.
There must be decent people in the IRFU and UR.

Doesn’t this have have the potential to rugby’s operation Yewtree? People need to start using that word and mentioning the Saville inquiry and the impact it’s had on the BBC. No-one is invincible.

Bumble Flowers what a difficult position to be in. I’m just glad someone had you to confide in, she obviously chose the right person.

I wonder how their team mates feel about them?

Judging by twitter and including tweets from players from other teams, they feel the woman is picking on them and only making the allegations because they are rugby players. Or that it is a big joke.

Look at this and sports club say they cannot fire someone because they have been found not guilty then why hire this scum

Why is it always the females who have been traumatised that can't talk about it. I bet the men never feel like that and always get the support when they do. It's must be that rape culture again.

Collateral damage is the phrase you were looking for, I think, and yes, that is exactly what it feels like. I'm so sorry you aren't able to talk to someone, and that your friends have made things worse for you.
