Hypothetically, if he's hooked up with a 15 year old, but he thought she was 18, are we ok with that?

Winston Biscuit is his one of the names printed into the new RFC centenary shirt?

Yup


Ooops.


Not really anyone at RFC/Macron could do about it though, I doubt the Macron shirt designers knew about this 6 months ago when they were pitching ideas of the shirt.

No because that is what happened with Adam Johnson

Na, Johnson knew she was under age and still pursued her.

If it’s for sexting, then the Police will already have seen enough evidence to arrest him. That’ll be enough to finish his premier league career if convicted of, at the very best, soliciting photos of a minor.

I thought she told him she was 18, they did stuff in the car and afterwards said she was 16

Unless he did stuff too afterwards?

Why the actual oxf*rd would a footballer do that. Gylfi of all people who just seems so regular.

No, because you won't be, nor by a long shot.

Am I the only person who thought that Gylfi would more likely come out that something like this?

Yeah well it could be an underage boy tbf.

No but this is devastating, I can’t believe it and won’t believe it until he’s charged. I just don’t see it.

Part of me thinks that he's quite a divisive and unpopular figure at Everton and maybe someone's set him up but ithe flip side is that even if someone sets a honey trap, he's still got to fall into it.

I don't want it to be true but this is now a lot more than just unsubstantiated gossip on social media.

So everyone who gets charged with something is guilty in your eyes?

Given the age of the alleged victims I'm not sure a honey trap scenario comes into it.

I wasn't saying I believed that was the case, just clutching at straws and not wanting to believe that one of our own could get into this sort of situation.

Also hoping this proves unsubstantiated, but it looks increasingly unlikely that that will be the case. Family member worked at Reading for some time and is pretty upset, Gylfi very much a 'star pupil', always friendly, polite and now of course with a young family, for whom this is devastating.

No, of course not. I can see how that inference was made though.

Perhaps I should have said convicted - and even then they may still not be guilty.

It's an investigation into 'child sex' allegations. That means the victims, if it is proved, are at least under the age of 17. It is difficult to see persons of that age setting up a honey trap scenario, to what end and what motive. An adult or adults may have the wherewithal or motive to do that, that we don't know, but no such suggestion or arrests of adults have been made.
