Hard not to like him but at his age his legacy is about to be defined in my teams and England's shirt so I'm entitled to an opinion based on the fact that he's more front page news than back and needs to improve rather than party with Mendy of all people . His Mrs bought him a dog why can't he just go walkies with Bernardo and John!This happened awhile ago I presume and I imagine was known about within the club so not sure any of that really applies - unless like a few others you just don’t like him so are looking for worse case scenarios.

Oh, I see. I was under the impression it was 18. My apologies.
But this must have been what? 12 months + ago? I doubt he was aware of what was to come back then regards Mendy?Hard not to like him but at his age his legacy is about to be defined in my teams and England's shirt so I'm entitled to an opinion based on the fact that he's more front page news than back and needs to improve rather than party with Mendy of all people .

Rio used to organise parties like this ( allegedly) bus, taxi them in, out , often from an " agency" This was in Jack's Emily Atak phase so might get away with it. It's his choice in future but he's pushing his luck, charm .But this must have been what? 12 months + ago? I doubt he was aware of what was to come back then regards Mendy?

What an utterly fucked up world/existence.....Sounds like they all deserve each other.

Ive literally no idea what grealish has done wrong in the eyes of a few in here
Just to clarify, as I'm seeing "shagged a teenager"...
The witness was 17. She said another woman (a witness yet to give evidence) aged 23 told her she (the 23 year old) had slept with Jack.
Sounds like a seedy party all round and it pisses me off that any of our players are anywhere near this sort of thing, but - the person he's alleged to have sex with was an adult, the report is based on hearsay, and as far as we know he's not accused of any crime.
Unfortunately I'd be surprised if he's the only one of our players (other than the obvious) to come out of this trial with reports of less than family-friendly behaviour.
It's a rumour of drunken, consensual sex that was probably infidelity. It's not the first such rumour about him, and he's not the first of our current players to face such rumours. It sounds worse because it's being mentioned in court, but I don't think so far it seems like anything other than what he's been reported doing in the past.
From a footballing point of view I worry about the extent of the drinking. From a club/player image point of view I worry about the whole context of these parties with their power imbalances and what it says for how players see and treat women.
I'm hoping there's nothing else of this sort that comes out of the trial. And hoping Jack takes it as a wake-up call, although given past behaviour it seems fairly unlikely.
On a separate point, I thought he was one of few bright sparks for England yesterday.
