I cant help but feel the club will be issuing messages tonight to stop them commenting on these things.

If they do I Hope the players ignore it. They have the right to converse with whoever they please, especially a former team mate.

I was told, from a good source, that people who know Mendy did not think he was guilty and two juries agreed.

Why ? They can comment whatever they like. He’s wrongfully been accused and had his life destroyed.

 

[Palerider]

Interesting. Most of us have assumed he was guilty because there were so many accusers and in the era of Me Too we also assumed this would be a slam dunk conviction. The jury, having heard the evidence, found Mendy Not Guilty but still there are those who insist that does not make him innocent. Would you want to be treated that way if found Not Guilty?

Did city pay him while he was suspended

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Most of us have assumed he was guilty

Really?

Anyone seen Jodie Comer in "Prima Facie"? She won the Olivier award in the West End and a Tony on B'way. Gripping stuff, a one-woman play, the story of a brilliant courtroom barrister who repeatedly wins her cases by demolishing prosecution evidence in rape cases and subjecting the female victims to withering cross-examination. Then when she herself is raped she has to suffer the kind of ordeal the women whose (accused) rapists she'd successfully defended had gone through - three years waiting for the guy to come to trial, then a defence lawyer as good as she had been taking her apart in the witness box.
Best drama I've seen in years, with the plainly spoken message from both playwright and actress that women who bring accusations of rape to court probably won't get justice.

You do realise it wasn't a documentary

You do realise it wasn't a documentary

The playwright wrote it from her long experience of seeing dozens of women come to court and get treated by the legal system in ways akin to what had allegedly been done to them already.
Right, it's a polemic not a documentary; it's also a persuasive one.

Braindead footballers, none of which even knew him, including Depay. I get that English isn't his native language but the grammar and spelling in that post is shocking.

That murderer Marcos Alonso has some neck commenting on it too. He got off on a murder charge due to having a rich daddy.
