Here is what people had to say:

  • He should spend that money on a coach to teach him how to speak and behave in public ,shamed to say his irish but then again dubs are all the same thay think dublin is ireland
  • “Look at me and all my money”; you can’t buy class, or happiness!
  • I look at this man and think how sad. He has so many gifts etc. He should/could have been a great example and positive influencer, hmmm maybe not too late to change this image Mr McGregor, It would be a great life story?? Young people need role models not photos of flashy items. They will pass but a great legacy lives on,
  • Awww Conor will you put it away it’s a well known fact that you have lots of dosh you don’t need to constantly have it on show. 
  • Pity thT 40grand wasn’t given to a good cause maybe a personality transplant just saying
  • Class is not about what you wear it’s about how you behave your self he is a knacker.
  • Rolex is top class, shame about McGregor!
  • Cant buy respect and he lost that big time.
  • Never judge the man by the watch !!
