Yeah I bet some UEFA/FIFA miscreant had this arranged and handsomely compensated the Greek authorities to set Maguire up here. It’s obvious. He’s innocent.
I'm sure you didn't mean any offence but drawing parallels between the two discussions is patently silly and in bad taste.
By your own reckoning we should probably wait for more information until we pass judgement on the police officers involved shouldn't we? There's nothing to say the police involved didn't just do there job diligently, no one has even made that claim expect our own fans whilst ironically saying we don't know enough to judge Maguire. Saying it must just be the police being corrupt is like saying he must be guilty because british lads abroad always do this.
It's this biased bullshit that ended up with Liverpool fans wearing those t-shirts and Liverpool supports loyally defending Suarez claiming no evidence.
Fook yeah. If that happens, let's make this lawyer our first summer signing.
Who needs the Fringe this year?
So he can play in defence. Sign the fecker up.
There was me watching a king Eric documentary last night..
I’m reserving judgment for now..

Obviously it’s possible - but this is Harry maguire man united captain ffs. He’s surely a bit smarter and knows beating a policeman could cause his career serious damage.
all I’m saying is no matter what the police report says that doesn’t mean it’s gospel, they’ll spell it out exactly how they want it to.
So the brown envelope made it in time.
I'm not claiming it's him, but it's very possible mates of footballers are certain types of lads, especially british ones. it's very possible one of them has it in them, but who knows, maybe all are innocent.
Maybe I'm just a homer or a cynic but I don't believe Maguire actually assaulted a police officer, it's a new level of stupidity.
Maybe 1 did? Maybe 2/3 or them were smashing him with batons and he lashed out also.
Anyway the fact people are saying strip his captaincy and sell him without even knowing he’s guilty is what’s pissing me off to be honest. Rival fans can banter us but why do we have to hate our own?
I am wondering whether the police officers were wearing their uniform. Or were they in plain clothes. Based on the videos of his being arrested and moved.
I know what you are getting at. Just look at Steven Gerrard's mates. Think they want to protect their friend who has made it big.
If they identified themselves as police officers it doesn't really matter if they were dressed as Spiderman.
I agree everyone in that situation would lash out in some way. As far as people wanting him sold, that's not me and it's silly. I would prefer someone else as captain but that's completely unrelated to this.
Anybody can say they are the police. There are scams in some countries like this.
It's ridiculous to think Maguire would actually assault a police officer. The Police statement effectively reads like a police cover-up in that the officers didn't like some comments and then pre-empted a violent arrest. Greek authorities are as corrupt as you can get.
Anyway, if this drags on, unleash Mike! No loan for you buddy. We always loved you.
Love Mike Schmauling
A drunk mid-20s on a holiday swinging at a cop after a fight has just been broken up is one of the most believable stories I've ever heard, even if it were to turn out that nothing happened in this specific instance.
I'm gonna need Harry to slide one of his other 2 lads one of his match cheques to take all the blame, can't be having this legal stuff hanging over his head and affecting his playing status in a months time when the season starts up again...
Harry ‘Can we make this go away’ Maguire has a decent ring to it to be fair.
He thought he’d made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. A bit big headed that.
I want to see people saying the same holier than thou shit they said in the Grealish thread about not wanting him at the club for the drinking and driving incident.
They said it was about upholding moral standards. Let's see where those are now!

Good. It can go to Bruno who is already de facto captain.
In the vast, vast majority of cases, the police do their job without "brutalising" the criminal. Let's not bring in this reactionary political argument into this.
Who goes abroad on holiday during a global pandemic anyway? 
In Efsyn, which is one of the biggest daily newspapers in Greece, they have two Maguire stories.
Some key pieces:
On a lighter note, you just know that Maguire trying to run away and being caught is going to be turned into a meme.

Sounds pretty damn serious.

It's certainly hard to believe considering his impeccable off-field record.
But who knows.
In the U.K. they do yes.
English tourists generally don't go abroad to cause trouble either, but that has prevented people in this thread from citing the "English thugs abroad" stereotype as if that somehow condemns Maguire.
In the spirit of the times, I'm going to assume that they were indeed there and that they smashed up a few cars and threw an old woman in the sea. Because feelings trump facts.
I’m a bit surprised that the players are off on holiday seeing as they season starts in a few weeks. I know the last one was a long one but they had a break during lockdown.Who goes abroad on holiday during a global pandemic anyway?
Not sure of the positive case numbers in Greece but we’ve seen how quickly orders are made for people returning from various countries to quarantine for 14 days so if by chance it happened with Greece and they weren’t back before the need to quarantine started then that’s two weeks of preseason missed and the chance to gel with any new signings (Ha!).
Ouch. That stung and I’m not even Greek!You say that as if everyone who has an interaction with the police is guilty.
He should have been leading united out in Europa final in a few hours. Regardless on what happens next, this is an appalling way to spend the very little time off he has between seasons.
he is certainly not getting any mental relaxation by being under arrest and the centre of a press scandal.
Am sure all he now wants to do is get back home and re enter his COVID-19 bubble.
