Very different cases. Greenwood there was enough evidence to charge him, just the CPS didn't feel there was enough to convict (for various reasons). And people heard the audio and saw the pictures.
It won't happen, as I think they've handled this as well as they possibly could have.
How is this still popping up. One was arrested and charged, the other nothing has happened other than an accusation (then more and now less again) and police deciding it doesn’t warrant further action.
My local team's new signing James McClean gets dogs abuse from opposing fans every match and it just makes Wrexham fans love him even more.It won't happen, as I think they've handled this as well as they possibly could have.
Antony has also waged his own social media campaign for this very same reason, so he'll be fine.
He might get abuse but if anything, United fans would be more likely to overlook his one-footedness now
Well, well... I'm surprised they managed to make a decision without Rachel Riley's and Adam Crafton's... invaluable input regarding the matter at hand. Perhaps that input is being furiously typed as we speak, though.
He's actually very good compared to 99 per cent of adults.
Hardly a coincidence a day after he was questioned by the police. I wouldn't be surprised if it won't be long until the police drop the case.
And yet we have noticed him missing.
Are you the top judge of the kangaroo court of social media?
Are people still refusing to see the obvious difference between these two cases? Has to be right up there with the maddest shite I’ve ever seen on redcafe.
Wtf are you on about now. What a car crash of a post. You basically contradicted yourself in the first sentence.
It boils down to the popularity of the players. Greenwood good = innocent ; Antony bad = guilty.
Pretty much. I'd certainly be curious to know the % of posters who want the book thrown at Antony, yet kicked up a fuss over the Greenwood suspension.
Antony is a bad footballer....I've seen it all
Do you realise that the main accuser is a celebrity in Brazil and likely has no issues hiring top lawyers herself?
We sure as shit love to load the squad with these better-than-nothing footballers, don't we?
Do you know something more than the police? You seem convinced Antony did wrong.
If they charged him this weekend, we would look stupid.
Police often hold clearly innocent people for five hours?
We didn't.
At times, yes.
But what if he’s charged, then police say new evidence has come to light and drop the case?
That three separate people are accusing Antony of the same crime makes this case in some ways more compelling.
Well haven’t two of them been retracted basically?
Two of them have already fallen apart. This isn't a multiple accusation situation.
It would still be different in that we as the public are not exposed to the evidence so there's nothing we can comment on, we could only speculate.
I think one of them was dropped months before this one came up. As I remember correctly, the accuser and one of Antony friends was fighting in his car and he was involved to stop them fighting and leave her on the sidewalk.
No we wouldn’t. We will make decisions based on the situation not in anticipation of them - as it should be.
Why?
