Where did you grow up where getting arrested was just a regular Saturday night for you?
Kin ell. Some of yous are well sheltered.
Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending

We've had previous captains do worse than this. Why the clamour to strip him of captaincy?
So, we're looking for another CB then now
let's get those shirts ready
Wow aggravated assault and continuous attempts at bribery doesn’t sound like a misdemeanour. Hope for his sake this gets sorted without jail time. I suppose he will be viewed as a wealthy young sports man and be hit with a serious fine.
Now what will Ole do? Obviously he will want a meeting to get Maguire's side of things but surely he has to look at removing the captaincy at least temporarily?
Great this has happened as it gives rival fans even more ammunition to use against us and joke about.

Jail time in Greece? It'll never happen
Who are you like fecking Al Capone?

Since Maguire story happened, many tabloid were running stories about what a great family man he is, and how this is so out of character etc. Of course they also covered the story itself, but there was a sympathetic background. Also, just like many posters have done in this thread, also a subtext on how backward or corrupt Greece is. ie: No way Harry can be a bad guy. You can check The Sun, The Daily Mail, even The Guardian ruining all these themes.
Un until BLM, there was a consistent and savage media campaign against Sterling. No matter what he did, it was presented in the worst, nastiest and negative light. Even when he bought his mother a house, Daily Mail said he was grotesque as showing off.
Nah we’ve just been out on the lash without physically/verbally assaulting others and trying to bribe policemen.He will get a slap on the wrist, a fine and community service.
Some of yous haven't been out on the lash much
I’m equally glad whilst out on the lash, that my group has never encountered one like your group of “lads being lads”.
Surely he will appeal or somerhing?
For aggravated assault and bribing a law enforcement officer? Surely more than a day? These usually carry lengthy prison sentences!
Damn, if only Greece's economy was as efficient and expeditious as their judicial system, they wouldn't be a bankrupt nation.
80m investment.
pretty serious crimes to be found guilty of, regardless of how corrupt or quick the trial was.
could the club be forced to sack him?
definitely lost his captaincy.

What is wrong with you lot. He was never, ever going to be found NOT GUILT. It was obvious when they held the trial so quickly and it was over so quickly. The only evidence is what the police have said.
Fecking hell, Harry!
Woodgate?
I doubt he would have been called up for England if it was that serious being found guilty.
The whole thing screams dodgy as feck.
I’m surprised though to find out how many of you are readers of The Sun.

Repeated bribery?
Sack him !
Nah couple of years is a stretch isn’t it?
Did they confirm if the cops were plain clothed?
This does not read like a fair trial:

Serious question. Do any of you lads live in the UK or have ever lived in the UK?
Ever been out in Manchester on a Friday or Saturday night? Closing time?
Should spend his punishment as a loanee to Mykonos FC for a year.
Say hello to his little friend
Well serve some of you right if Rojo gets back in the team.
At least Gareth Southgate knows what really happened eh?
"Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?........Thirty thousand, final offer."Repeated bribery?
He loves the white stuff allegedly.
Ye mate you tell 'em, bunch of panzies, only puffs go out on the lash and go home without a police bribery conviction.
Kin ell. Some of yous are well sheltered.
Oh wait.
Southgate couldn’t have waited one day for his presser?
I am not going to debate his guilt or not but this is a sham. Defence not giving time to prepare and the only evidence is a police officer's word.
What a joke of a legal system.
yeah him aswell.
Honestly though, the Sterling stuff was a while ago now and since the spotlight has been on it, he’s been a media darling. See if it happens again. I think times have changed.
BBC article said his sister was injected with an unknown substance by a group of men that caused her to faint. They then arranged for transport to a hospital and were instead taken to the police. I can understand Maguire freaking out about what his sister was injected with and losing his composure if that's really what happened.
I'm not a legal expert, but isn't it a bit strange how quickly the charges were brought to trial, trial conducted and judgement made?
Are we sure due process and justice has been served?

An extremely weird set of circumstances. The delay for the trial not being approved and the whole thing finishing in a day is a bit dodgy to say the least. As an Eastern European myself I find it hard to believe any police officers from the area, corrupt feckers the lot of them
