fecking hell.
The alleged photo of Bradley Lowery circulating on Twitter.
- Thread starter Devil_forever
- Start date
This couldn't have happen at the Wedneday Sunderland match yesterday. This picture looks to have been taken in the middle of day , the match kicked off at 8pm., it wouldn't be that bright . One of the guys sitting down in the picture has come forward and said he wasn't at the game. I also understand the two lads holding the phone and laughing have contacted the authorities and said that it is photoshopped and are willing to hand their phones over to the police , this is coming from my Sheffield relatives who are Wednesday fans. It maybe a hell of a circus around Manchester United, but it pales in comparison to the shit show around Wednesday
The phone looks like a gigantic Iphone SE.
Phone looks photoshopped to be honest and it’s definitely not the game Friday night
The colour temp and clarity look off but that might be explained by the image being processed multiple times for reproduction across different platforms.
Two men have been arrested
It looks fake to me.
But that story about Bradley....man, saddest story in history of football. Tears just come out everytime when i see pictures of him with Defoe and him on the football pitch.

It's so sick it's believable really.
Never going to eliminate the tribal element in Football really especially lower down the leagues. When Chester played Hereford in non league a month ago the Chester fans were singing about Lucy Letby of course....

Who's notified their workplaces? People relish these pile-ons with a self-righteous vindictive gusto before even pausing to consider that the pics look dodgy as hell and could well be bollocks.
Given the police say they're on it I'd rather leave it to them to check their phones and deal with it in this instance.
The photo doesn't look real to me, I hope it's not.
You kinda sorta feel that doesn't look quite right, and are on that basis immediately prepared to seriously entertain the notion that someone's photoshopped the whole thing for nefarious purposes?
Where would the conspiracy theorists of this world be without the likes of you.
Hardly the most outrageous of suggestions considering the evidence presented. As you quoted my post twice, surely you can see that I was level-headed in the wording.
And if it’s not real, which it looks like it isn’t tbh, then someone else needs to be taken to account for it.
In the meantime the pitchforks are out for these two guys.
The police should be able to get to the bottom of it sharpish.
Bold finish to a post that appears to be upset hat people don't take a random picture on Twitter as fact.
Let's for one moment assume that picture isn't fake can any body from England actually confirm what these guys could be charged with for this act , if it really happened this might be deplorable and in real bad taste but does it actually hold any legal implications .
No way it’s real. It’s obvious it’s photoshopped.
That’s what I was thinking too. On what grounds they could charge them? You see fans mocking and chanting about the Munich and hillsborough tragedies all the time without any implication.
I'm no expert but think any case would be weak, with extremely poor taste not equating to illegal. Maybe some public order offence at a push, given people can get done for trolling and the like.
The two men have been arrested on suspicion of 'outraging public decency'.
The photo looks bloody good for that distance away, but anyone with issues around the lighting should probably remember there’s floodlights. The sections are usually always lit like that even at night.
I wonder what he was actually showing on his phone though, assuming it was shopped. Obviously something he thought the other fans wouldn’t like.

This might've been for that fringe though. Has the fella on the right got any mirrors in his house or what?
That pic looks soooooo fake.
The picture would be easier to see in the dark, not the other way around. To be honest it the picture isn't photoshopped then I want to know which phone he has because, I'm quite impressed with the brightness of that screen.
Could be a reasonable explanation, I wouldn’t feel comfortable calling it either way.
It looks fake but I can't guarantee it. The other thing is that the bezels make it look like an old Iphone and they aren't that big.
Right. It's hardly that outlandish of a suggestion. Just a few weeks ago that fake picture of Klopp "shushing" Jason Tindall went viral in a nano second.
One doesn't need to be a conspiracy theory theorist to exercise a tad bit of caution over twitter content that can induce outrage or reactions.
The one thing that astounds me is that even before it's proven as fact, people have tracked these accused down including their home addresses and workplaces. There are some seriously bonkers people out there who could end up doing something regretful to an innocent party
That's more of a crime than if the picture turns out to be true (which if it is true, is absolutely disgusting)

Surely it is a fake, nobody in their right minds would do something as stupid as that.
I know we live in times where acting like a prat is deemed a talent these days but that picture cannot be true.
I hope not for their sakes because they will never live it down.

Regular posters on a Sheffield Wednesday forum swearing that the guy sitting behind them 100% wasn't there yesterday, saying there's no way the picture is from yesterday's game. Maybe they're all lying, but seems like a very weird thing for multiple people to do on a forum that some of them have been on for over a decade...especially when the police are involved.
Definitely worth waiting for more info on all these sorts of cases. Makes the fact that media outlets (Guardian, Mail and more) have already printed their full names all the more troubling.

This is awful if they've been set up. It's awful if it's genuine but it doesn't sound like it is anyway.
What the feck is wrong with people? I loved growing up without the internet and social media in retrospect.

It looks Photoshopped to me.
Strange lighting for an evening kick off, no?
Weird post
From a guy who photoshops everyday, Id say it’s photoshopped too. The picture of the kid looks too “clear” with no reflections on it. considering the faces are standing in the sun there’s something a bit strange about it.
If fake, how do the two guys even defend themselves? It’s not like they have the original material, they could just be completely outed on the internet.
of course if it’s real they should be banned for life, but it looks photoshopped to me.
In a way I think it’s worse if they’re being set up. The despicable idea that an image of this poor kid could be used for football bantz is there either way. But if it’s all photoshopped then you have the added nastiness of trying to ruin the lives of two completely innocent football fans as well.
You on the other hand see one photo and are willing to have two people’s lives being ruined without needing to know whether the photo is real, and the guys you responded to are the dumb ones?
That phone looks so big it looks like a tablet.
I'm more amazed you look at that picture and think it's not edited.
