Mason Greenwood released on bail

[Tugay One Cup]

Her Instagram has been almost totally wiped now.

There's a serious problem with the way a lot of young men view and treat women. But we knew that.

I feel sick to my stomach just listening to the audio. Can't even imagine how angry I'd be if it was a City player.

Here we go. United have made a statement now, so reports will come out from various news outlets.

Allegations on social media don't often get traditional media coverage until the accused party (or representative) makes an official statement.

The exact same thing would happen if it was a City player.

Fucking hell, man.

A Premier League player is pretty strongly accused of serious domestic violence and all you can think is "How can I make this about City?"

It's literally broken on social media this morning. If you knew the first thing about how newspaper offices actually work, you would know that there will be entire teams of people looking through copies of McNae's Law to see what they can and can't say.

Very soon this is going to become a police matter, and journalists cannot be seen to have said anything that prejudices the investigation.

Also, bear in mind, Benjamin Mendy was arrested on suspicion of rape almost a year before he was charged and it hit the papers. You are just completely wrong on this.

Yep fair point.

 

[MarsLlama]

That’s a fair point and take that back.

If there was an Instagram post of mendy being accused of what Greenwood done, you saying it wouldn’t be reported in the media?

I think it would get the very same amount of coverage as Greenwood, which is basically none, because newspapers leave themselves open to extremely expensive legal action if they run stories based on allegations like these.

Will have been asked to take the posts down by police while they investigate, I imagine.

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be brushed under the carpet and he'll be back playing in a few weeks?

Absolutely no chance. How he doesn’t avoid prison here will be a miracle in my opinion. The evidence is so compelling, especially the voice notes.

Probably not, unlike ronaldo or robinho, who were accused of commiting such crimes while in another country and have just refused to return to be judged, this is domestic and so cannot just ignored and hidden.

This will not just go away, rival fans will hammer him if on the pitch and dependant on what his ex does next there is every chance he is getting a trial and media storm.

 

[SWP's back]

Legal system is great isn't it.

When you just make stuff up and other people believe you, yeah it’s great…. /s

Fucking scum, it matters not that he's a rag, anyone behaving like that is fucking scum.
