Mason Greenwood released on bail

[ChicagoBlue]

I wouldn’t be so sure, got a feeling they will try and settle it out of court and brush this under the carpet. He should be made an example of as should Mendy!

This ^^^^ is my concern.

Deep pockets versus shallow pockets.
15 minutes of rape victim infamy versus enough money to start a new life and have a few nice things.

This is where, for me, law enforcement SHOULD step in….

Tell Greenwood he will get a lighter sentence for providing financial security for his victim, BUT he’s getting a custodial sentence either way!

In the States, we do this via criminal & civil suits. Criminal trial addresses the crime, civil suit addresses victim financial redress.

All men who attack, slap spit on women should be horse whipped end off, no excuse at all.

 

[SWP's back]

They didn’t officially suspend him, that was clarified today.

He’s just not going to be training or playing for them until further notice, which is exactly what we should have done.

Yes, exactly.

How do you think it works over here ffs?

We gave you your laws and legal system about 250 years ago.

And what did we get back for it, the treasonous dogs.

A tea party and the bastardization [sic] of our language!

Something that occurred to me - maybe I am either a) naive or b) worrying needlessly but is it possible we as a fan base could rise above singing that “she said no” song (a la other fans singing about Mendy) or similar - I know it’s dressed up as “banter” but in this case it’s even more unsavoury for me as we know who the “she” is and have a sense of what she has been through (and how brave she has been in breaking it). Think it would be the height of distaste tbh.

To be fair it had already been bastardised by the French elite. They just went back to our language’s Latin origins.

Minus the z instead of s, that’s just weird

 

[I'm With Stupid]

In theory yes as per Chelsea and Mutu.

I feel like that's different because I imagine footballers have a specific clause about drug use in their contract. They could also be sued for breach of contract if they got into a motorbike accident. I've not heard of any footballer being sued for breach of contract after being sent to prison though. Also with Mutu, there was a very definite transfer fee that Chelsea lost out on, whereas with Greenwood, there's only his hypothetical value.

Swings and Roundabouts, they also sent us the Glazers, :-)
