Holy shit. Just watched the 3min interview, I am sure there’s a longer one - having watched that, and clearly it’s just one side of things, but I believe him, and some of the posters in here should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

So reading online there’s forensic evidence showing Maguire’s injuries and that his sister was drugged and there’s video of them being mistreated. All of which wasn’t allowed to be presented at the trial. Sounds like justice has been done.
Right so Where's that mentioned?

For some strange reason, there are a lot of so-called United fans on here who appear desperate to find Maguire guilty, nearly as fast as the Greeks themselves.

Makes you wonder what their motives are.
Take a scan through the thread, there are several "fans" that are desperate for the Greek police's side of the story to be true
Read this thread. It’s disgusting from so called Utd fans, which quite frankly we can do without.

We still don’t know the truth, as this is only one side of things, but to instantly condemn the man like many did in here is shameful.

I honestly feel really sorry for Maguire, especially knowing Greek law enforcement is corrupt on a good day and straight-up criminal on a bad one.

I hope he gets justice, It doesn't sound like he made that story up at all.

Sounds crazy what he has been through if his story is true. I don't think he would lie about it.
So the police wanted to set him up for being a Man United player?

I don't see how you can listen to Maguire and not believe him

Not sure speaking publicly while you are launching an appeal is ideal?

Also, what it appears he thought were possibly an Albanian Gang, turns out were potentially undercover police?

Whole thing seems like a big mess , farce, stitch up or something else......

Anyhow, let's see what happens in the future, but again, silence was probably better.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
Because obviously, this post didn't deserve to be backed with sources.
What I’ve said there isn’t anything new. His defence attorney mentioned the video in court.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....rry-maguire-hopes-video-evidence-22581685.amp

And here’s an article on the physical forensic evidence. Again it’s nothing new.
https://theathletic.co.uk/2021530/2...aguire-manchester-united-captaincy-kidnapped/

There’s a reason why it takes more than 2 days from point of arrest until being sentenced to 21 months in jail in most countries. But hey, it’s all a big conspiracy and Greek justice is wonderful. He clearly had a totally fair trial which gave plenty of opportunity for a defence to be submitted.

His story is obviously nonsense . None of the things he is saying adds up at all . Police taunting him hitting him in the leg saying his careers over ? Wheres the marks then ? Must have been some light kicks that they thought would end his career .

Kidnapping fears just sounds BS and straight out of Taken.

Police are saying they interviewed the sister and she never mentioned being drugged .

Jussie Smollet's story was more believable than Maguires but hey he got off so who knows

Now I do want to believe Harry. Seems a little daft to be wearing shorts in this interview considering his legs reveal zero bruising. Nothing.

He is claiming they hit his legs saying his career was over, causing him to fear for his life.

He is either exaggerating massively how they hit his legs, or lying.



Those legs have not been beaten brutally.

This is not me wanting him to be guilty. Of course I don’t. But it’s suspect.

Are you on the wind up? Are you a Utd supporter, or someone that just takes joy from this sort of situation?

Well seen the BBC news & there we go.

Extract from my post this on sat

"Will finally end up as slapped wrist having gone through the motion. Would not surprise me for Spiros to initially take a dim view today (stirring up more press hysteria) until a proper judge can be found. It's how it works. All about saving face & a few envelopes.

I would worry more about our lack of signings with DoF Joel & chief negotiators Eddy &. Matty at the helm."

And not only that. If the story you´ve been telling is a lie, you have the better option of staying away from tv, instead of telling it again in front of millions of people. I believe our captain and he has my full support.

If I search your history can I expect to find you an impartial critic of Maguire’s footballing ability?

You don´t see the back of his legs, and you don´t see his thighs.

It’s good you’ve taken the time to look into his story before commenting. The defence are saying that a physical examination of Maguire and his sister corroborate what he is saying. It wasn’t admitted at the trial because oddly enough it takes longer than two days to gather evidence and they had no idea what the police were saying which they had to rebut because the prosecution evidence was only given to them 2 hours before the sodding trial. They also say there’s a video shot outside the station showing the officers mistreating him.

Do you realise how many women are given date rape drugs and 'kidnapped' in these holiday destinations on the continent. I don't think he's suggesting she was being brought to an evil lair to await a ransom delivered in briefcases, women are quite regularly drugged and then brought away to alleyways/houses, where they are then raped/robbed. It's not exactly a ridiculous suggestion.

Not even punch or kick leaves a mark or a bruise you know? I’ve seen boxers and MMA fighters go 30 minutes and come out looking fresh after being hit multiple times. Some people bruise easier than others and I’d imagine his legs are used to taking plenty of hits.

I really don’t see why he would be lying about it?Why even add that detail it’s not really required.
it seems the longer this goes the more it sided with maguire personally.

I think another important question we would like to know is.. how is his sister?

Is she finally okay?
If she seriously get injected, then that's a strong supporting "evidence" that started the brawl and then their refusal to get arrested, which may involved physical affliction to the Greek officials.. because emotions flying around and with the urgency to get his sister to the hospitals asap.

You’ll find his posts are clueless on a number of topics! Terrible poster to be honest.

I think he was a disaster signing and a waste of money but none of that excuses that absolute pack of lies he just told .

First of all he is wearing shorts and theres not a mark on his supposedly battered legs

Add to "the bus came to a stop and was surrounded by a group of men and we were thrown off it."

Who threw him off the bus ? And its surrounded by men he thinks are kidnapping him yet somehow he is able to walk to the main road to phone his agent and leave texts.

Then walks back to the bus where the men surround him again ? :houllier:

Theres far to many things wrong with that story . For his own good he should have been advised better than to even do an interview .

I don’t think I’ve come across your posts before, but clearly they are awful. Others have pointed out what an awful poster you are, and based on these posts I agree.

I don’t want to see what yuh are posting. You are on the ignore list. Appalling posts. Well done.

It was considerate of the police to leave the most visible parts of his legs untouched just so he was still able to wear shorts without feeling self conscious. :lol:

That lsd guy is like a dementor. Comes in, instantly sucks any joy left in an already tough summer and goes away. Rinse and repeat in every thread I see him 'contributing' to.

So he didn't do anything wrong at all and everything he is charged with is a lie?

I find that VERY difficult to believe. Makes no reference to retaliating or fighting people which is the main cause of this nightmare. His legal team have clearly seeked this interview out and instructed him to deny every single bit of it. Reminded me a bit of the Prince Andrew interview. I'm not saying Maguire is definitely guilty of all charges, but he certainly isn't completely innocent. That interview was total denial and embarrasses him and the club even more in my eyes.

Dear me. He'll carry on as captain no doubt, but his reputation is shot to pieces.
