Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending

[E-mal]

This is quite serious than I initially thought, seeing some people on this forum take it lightly.
We have to make this go away and very quickly, 80m pounds is no joke.

If I am worth that much to a club, I won't be engaged in such shite.

 

[Smithy89]

are you indicating that fans are biased?

I know shocker.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It would be ironic if he went from playing the most minutes of any player in world football to play 0 minutes because he's banged up abroad.

Isn't this the whole problem. The tourist industry has pressured the government to open everything up, then the government has then shut certain countries down again with next to no notice. I know a lot of jobs are at risk, but maybe this summer people should have just stuck to their own countries.

In Ireland they're pushing the whole "staycation" thing; there's a green list of a very, very small number of countries people can come back from without quarantining

Exactly.

Can't wait for the Netflix doc.

Apparently Woodward has started negotiations with Greek police for Macguire‘s release. Romano believes negotiations could take a while and its most likely he’ll be released in time for the Euros.

Euro 2021 or the next?

Can't wait for the Netflix doc.

That show is on Nat Geo.

So he punched a copper and he's now behind bars? And we're thirty days away from our next game? Have I missed anything?

 

[Shane88]

Yeah the penalty joke is real fresh content. Definitely funny. 100%.

It riles up United fans. Case in point, you. That's their job done.

It's shit but going "Grr, the jokes about our player being arrested are crap" is even more childish than "Haha United get penalties."

 

[Nori-]

Arrests 1 - 0 Transfers

 

[Donald Silverbridge]

He's expected to be charged with aggravated assault.

 

[El Zoido]

Usually there is what we refer to as a "court of justice" to decide whether he should spend time in prison or not.

Yeah I know, but just taking it as-read. Obviously we don’t know the nuances..

I've laughed at some of the cleverer ones in here tbf. That one was just shite.

If that's true, He's fecked, Jesus Christ, What a crap summer we're having thus far.

I, for one, have always thought Victor Lindelof is an intergral part of our team and look forward to his continued excellent efforts next season.

Why would a fan have a biased opinion about a player who happens to play for their club assaulting a police officer? Strange

Surely you can't be done for alleged bribery whilst you're wasted. Wonder if he did the "Do you know who i am' lark

Attempted bribery

 

[abkmufc92]

Hopefully this is the end of him being captain.

 

[Samid]

I don't know enough about this incident to have an opinion on it yet

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It does sound pretty bad. Need some details on how severe the Greek courts are. In the UK that would get you a slap on the wrist.

Attempted bribery

Legendary Chicago Blackhawks goalie Ed Belfour once offered a cop 1 billion dollars if he'd let him go after being arrested for public drunkenness. (At the time he was playing for the Dallas Stars)

Attempted bribery, aww feck. Not the type of serious situation that we needed.

What's the usual punishment for whacking a police officer?

Also, what's the usual celebrity punishment for whacking a police officer?

 

[podurban2]

"..disobedience, bodily harm, insult and attempted bribery of an employee."

Sounds lovely.

 

[Brophs]

Attempted bribery

It's hardly bribery to say to the policeman "I'll give you a million quid if you can find a hat that fits on this head".

Assaulting a police officer gets you a slap on the wrist in the uk? Didn't Ant Middleton do time for doing just that?

Should kiss his armband goodbye.

I'd have assumed he was more mature than this. So we start with Lindelof-Rojo again?

Bribery? The article on the BBC hasn't been updated in 4 hours - anyone know where exactly this is from?

Edit: found the tweet

Nah, we go full in with Rojo and Maguire. We need AWB and Willams to get into some shit now. Bad boys back four.

Not sure about the incident but that looks conclusive that he was off chasing a bit of tail at the end of that video

Is it just me or did the laughing suddenly stop?
