The footballer gets arrested thread

[Winston Biscuit]

I assume he is registered to play and there probably isn't room now in the squad for him. loan him out to a team in a different country for 6 months would make sense maybe

[Royal Rother]

Is it right that they are back together as well?

If so that's pretty tragic, it'll very likely be worse for her next time he cracks.

[Stranded]

All charges against Mason Greenwood dropped, so presumably he gets straight back in the squad? I ask this not knowing if he's actually left Man Utd

Makes me sick, tbh. 'Key witness withdrew cooperation with prosecution.'

He might not now be a convicted rapist or domestic abuser, but the audio release makes it clear that Greenwood is a disgusting, vile sex-pest who treats women like dirt. The absolute piece of shit.

People celebrating this on twitter, mostly blokes, is quite harrowing too. It does feel there are some major issues with prosecution of sexual violence, would drag Mendy into this as well who was cleared of 6 of the 8 rape accusations so far. I have seen people suggest rape is very hard to get a conviction for rape, indeed roughly 1% of reported rapes end in a charge which just doesn't seem right at all.

There is a major issue with convicting sexual violence however, it definitely seems to be a problem that is exacerbated when the alleged attack has a level of fame.

In this case, he seems like a piece of sh*t but he's been cleared so he should and will likely be able to continue his career. Whether Man Utd will want that to be with them, is another matter.

Not sure he's been "cleared" - key witnesses are no longer going to testify, so there's not a realistic chance of prosecution. Legally he's obviously not guillty as he's not going to be tried - but whether that affects anyone's opinion of him remains to be seen.

+1
Given that there is audio evidence that the police must have you'd think that would be enough for the prosecution to continue. Hope to oxf*rd he's at the very least been going to some kind of therapy or it will just happen again.

Cleared is the wrong word but he is no longer under investigation so free to carry on his career.

[Royal Rother]

Not sure ETH will consider him a desirable presence and may look to offload ASAP.

Chelsea would take him in the summer I'm sure.

But as Winnie said earlier, may be best for all if he goes abroad.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yeh would be shocked if any English clubs would be willing to take him - even Chelsea. Turkey would be my guess.

Leeds, Chelsea or Rangers. Perfect fit for those cnuts.

[Silver Fox]

My issue if he goes to Chelsea would be UNited getting 100 million quid for him

Radcliffe FC play David Goodwillie in a game (after non announcing beforehand that they'd signed him) and he scores a hat trick, but there's the predictable outrage and t hey apologise and sack him.

Major update after Everton footballer arrested on suspicion of child sex offences

PROSECUTORS are now probing the case of an Everton star arrested on suspicion of child sex offences.

The Premier League player, who can't legally be named, was held by police in July 2021 before being released on bail.

The Crown Prosecution Service has now confirmed a file of evidence has been passed to them by police, the Mirror reports.

A spokesperson said: "We received a file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police on 31 January 2023 following an investigation into allegations of multiple sexual offences.

"We are considering this material in line with our legal test.”

The CPS will now examine the evidence to decide whether to charge or not to charge the player.

Hopefully that means he won’t be on our TV screens anytime soon.

It sounds as though Ivan Toney can put his feet up for the rest of this season at the very least.

I had forgotten that Trippier got a 10 match ban for giving the nod about his move to Athletico Madrid to some mates for them to hit the bookies.

[NathStPaul]

A playing ban shouldn't be the end result, it will be but it shouldn't. Playing bans should be reserved for actively fixing games.

A more suitable punishment would be a heavy fine and Toney heading up an anti gambling campaign to warn against the dangers to young people. Having someone as high profile as Ivan Toney speaking out against the plague that is gambling addiction would be extremely helpful to steer younger men away from it.
