Sorry but you don't establish that he fought the cops and bribed them based on a 1 day trial with NO evidence.
Its an absolute joke.
Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Its an absolute joke.
This isn't good for Mykonos' tourism industry too, which I find baffling if I were to think from a Greek standpoint. It's celebrity central at times, and famous faces will look at the Maguire situation and think "even if there's a 30% chance he's right, feck taking the risk and getting scammed by their police".
Regardless of what actually happened, the whole affair has left a sordid taste and is an embarassment for the club. Think he has to be stripped of the captaincy.
Seems so. I'm sure that the Greek court is trying to make an example out of him but I'm just as sure that Maguire isn't innocent of all he's accused.
And who shall be the new captain?
How on EARTH is this a bad look in ANYONE’s books?
Not 1 fan would do anything different if their own sister was getting attacked. Not one fan!
It doesn’t look bad on the club either
He allegedly was protecting his sister.
His family
His bloodline
feck what MUFC think.
If I’m Harry and that did happen, I’m putting my life on the line to protect her.
I sure as shit am not thinking about the club.
Everyone having a negative view on Harry protecting his own Sister in case it tarnishes the club need to get a grip
what a shitshow
Greece, you utter jokes. I thought the UK was run by cnuts, but this is a fecking joke.
It has everything to do with it
This sort of thing can't just be accepted as "the way things are" in a country like Greece without fighting a case.
Corrupt police is something you shouldn't have to deal with anywhere in the world and there's no way there wasn't a rat involved in this. It stinks to high hell of someone after a payout.
Fair play to him for appealing out of principal when he could've let himself get fecked and moved on.
Well done Harry.
Well done Harry.
yeah seriously... he could have paid them off If it wasn’t a super serious incident. I doubt Greece want this kind of press either...
Just appeal to CAS and he will be fine.
You mean... we don't get to wear KKK shirts?
No I don't think that it should be standard practice for footballers to have to hire bodyguards in case someone drugs and presumably attempts attempts to rape their sister. And if such an incident does occurs the law should be on their side.
You put a lot of faith in the accuracy of the report of events from greek police there chief.
This was a sham verdict from a sham court proceeding, nothing of this holds up in a modern legal system.
It's not closed. He's appealing.
Jesus. I'm not biggest fan on the porch but this is ridiculous.
Haven't they sentenced him?
His sister was drugged. I don't know if that has happened to another player.
Bore off Winter.
I dunno, United, Maguire himself?
Either way it's a total sham, I mean, it's nothing more than a punch up between drunks, it happens every weekend. If they bothered this much with every fight there'd be hundreds of Brits serving time in Mykonos.
At the end of the day it's their word against his.
It happened to me in this country, dodgy copper picked a fight with a couple of lads, got his ass kicked then picked my name off a list and pinned it on me.
I ended up in court charged with affray and assaulting a copper. The prick even stood there and lied about it.
I only got away because he had not a shred of evidence to prove it despite me not even being in the same town that night. That's how easy it is.
If the Albanian drug injection story is true, it cant be the first time its happened, and if you did your proper due diligence, you would be able to find out the same.
Which begs the question why the hell did he go there in the first place. And once there, why was he drunk and out on the town, and within the vicinity of nefarious gangsters? I don't Maguire is innocent or devoid of very bad choices in any angle of this incident.
I swear every day I find a new ludicrous post from you.
If everything about the club offends you, maybe it's not a great match, and you might be happier elsewhere?
inotes!!!
Probably not, but probably not as bad as they are making out and they made sure nobody could actually see that.
Absolute joke and reeks of certain people wanting their 15 minutes of fame and publicity.what a shitshow
Greece, you utter jokes. I thought the UK was run by cnuts, but this is a fecking joke.
Think you're supporting the wrong club if you don't think the Old Trafford faithful won't be even more behind Maguire after this absolute bullshit
We supposed to completely ignore this potential kidnapping of his sister as if it's nothing? Pretty easy to find out if she was telling the truth, not really an easy thing to lie about which makes me believe Maguire's side the whole way. Whole thing stinks.
He’s a wum. There’s a few on here
State of some of these posts.It's not about the verdict or this case at all, to be honest (which you've so far failed to understand in your replies to others). It's about you implying getting into trouble with the police is a completely normal occurrence on a night out.Seen the verdict?
Some of yous still have no clue how it works.
I hope he has a support network open to him, both personally and at United, who can get him through whatever comes of this incident. Obviously I'm not close to the matter but I doubt it'll have serious ramifications for his footballing career, for example I'd be surprised if he lost the captaincy of United or England next year.
You ask as if there aren’t alternatives to a convicted criminal for captain
Calm down my lad, I hope just like you that those versions of events are true but I'm just looking at it from an outside point of view and any clubs captain of player of note being arrested and charged abroad would be a bad look.
Doesn't mean it's right nor just but thats just how things are in the world today the same way any CEO or executive level employee being caught in legal trouble will reflect poorly on their company/employer regardless of how just they are in whatever actions led to said legal trouble.
Heck that applies even for regular people like us, we probably wouldn't even be allowed to plead our case before getting reprimanded by our employers if ever we were charged with an offense.
It's always a matter of optics in todays image driven world where news travels at lightning speed, as unfair as it may be
State of you people
I'm out before I lose my temper at a stupid online forum. Don't go anywhere near my sister you weirdo
That was quick. Suspended sentence makes it sound like they were only minor offenses. But 21 months and 10 days sounds like some serious crime(s) were committed. Not sure what the club should do about it.
Even if you are not guilty and are in fact the victim, you should apologise, admit you are guilty and be punished as though you are guilty. What a thundercnut
Whatever way you look at it, it is publicity the club would prefer not to have. I didnt know you were so in the know regarding the facts of what happened
They say Harry is appealing it, so sounds like they are behind him.
The FA will interpret it as frivolous and ban him for 3 matches
It's not an overreaction to say that he should be stripped of his citizenship and tied to a Greek rock, so that sea birds might peck at his liver in perpetuity.
fairynufPossibly although Fergie had to personal go to the station in order to pick Keane up after he was arrested for allegedly kicking a woman. I'm pretty this happened on the same week as the FA Cup final in 99.
Keane was still United captain afterwards. But yeah it's put Ole into a difficult situation.
It was just a joke.
Done nothing wrong. Greek cops and courts as bent as a nine bob note.
Winter isn’t right. He’s saying he should apologise for crimes he refuses took place and is now appealing against because he didn’t take a bodyguard with him on holiday. It’s one of the most illogical tweets I’ve ever seen.
