I don't blame Maguire for trying to put the best possible spin on events, who wouldn't.
I do have a problem with the BBC and in particular its so called 'reporter' Dan Roan.
During the exclusive interview Maguire said he was badly beaten on the legs and was being told that he would never play football again. Dan Roan just parroted this back to him in an amazed voice.
Any proper reporter would have asked him to show the bruises to verify this, particularly as Maguire was wearing shorts. Roan would have been able to see if there were any bruises.
Clearly he was looking to spin the official line given to him by the Rags (in return for the exclusive??) so if there had been bruising then I am certain we would have been shown it. Pretty safe to assume there was none.
