Thomas Partey | 12th February 2026: Charged with two new counts of rape

I don't get the crazy reaction to this, but maybe I will get it the day they announce if he's guilty or not.

The reaction hasn't been crazy at all. If anything, the reaction hasn't been crazy enough.

Partey has been very credibly accused of rape by 3 different women and if you don't get it now then I doubt you'll get it if/when he's declared guilty.

How was he credibly accused? Is there irrefutable evidence?
 
What's crazy about the reaction to this?
Cause it's still a 50/50 decision, no matter what the papers say.

At the moment it's another rich man accused of rape. If it turns out he's guilty, then feck him and wish him the worst, but considering nobody knows anything real about it, some of the posts and reactions are evidently not very smart ones.

We know a lot about it, considering the information out in the public domain. As did Arsenal and Arteta.

Genuine question: have you actually read much about this case? Because it doesn't sound particularly 50/50.

Yours being the clear evidence of it. There is plenty of whatsapp screenshots detailing everything that happened to one of them and Partey trying to defend himself, not denying anything. Nothing 50/50 about it...

There has been a lot of leaked stuff and tweets that have been deleted from accusers which do not paint a pretty picture.
 


I mean much as Arsenal have handled the entire thing disgracefully, there just isn't any actual evidence that this is something that happened. There isn't even any real evidence that this is what said victim actually said/implied.

This is just a post from a Twitter idiot trying to stir shite because they don't support Arsenal
 
Arsenal have no shame - they continued to play him regularly despite the allegations such was their desperation to win silverware.


The law is innocent till proven guilt.

To take 3 years out of a players short playing life because of allegations is a gray area isn't it .... he hasn't been proven guilty. And in the UK we hold up the values that you are innocent till proven guilty in a court of law.

I have seen that. These sort of cases will always raise these sort of issues.

Some of these newbies have « interesting » opinions. Between this and views on immigration, this new batch of posters is something else
 
I think the reaction to Saville has been completely overblown. Was he ever charged? Was he found guilty?
People need to go back to calling him Sir Jim and remembering the good he did for charity. Clearly it was just another example of gold diggers going after a rich man. Bless his 'eart

This must have been said before in the thread, but we're not lawyers and judges on this forum, and don't need to wonder whether situations meet the legal threshold that merits a conviction. We can just consider the situation's moral and ethic side, based on the information we have.

And that's entirely right and normal; everybody does this all the time all across their lives. I mean, if you think your coworker is a dick with whom you don't want to associate, you don't rely on the courts for that either.

Or more legal-adjacent: if an athlete says things that are clearly racist, but never cross the line into hate speech and therefore don't lead to action from the justice system - then that person is still a racist and you (hopefully) will despise them for it and won't support them. Again, without a verdict from a judge.

All this is entirely normal and acceptable behaviour. There is no reason why you wouldn't have similar considerations if someone is being accused of rape and there is all kinds of information in the public sphere. You can disagree with other people's opinions, of course - but saying there is no conviction just isn't a valid argument.

No, it's "another rich man" accused of multiple rapes by multiple women, at least one of whom has gone public with her proof.

At the moment, you're just another dude trying to handwave away rape accusations against a celebrity by insinuating that they're motivated by the guy's wealth. Right now you're the one who's evidently not very smart.

As reprehensible as Giggs was, it would appear his shenanigans were consensual - nothing to be proud of but cheating with his brother's Mrs isn't a crime in the eyes of the law, whereas violent sexual assault most certainly is.
he also beat up his girlfriend. In fact he was in court for this case when the PL hall of fame was created, and that's why he's not included there\
edit: Nicky Butt also had a similar case, albeit that one was when he's already in Newcastle.
But for someone who as informed of his players lives like Ferguson did, I found it unlikely he's not aware of his players tendencies of domestic violence. He probably just didn't care as long as they were good enough

Only a very small percentage of these kinds of accusations are false because of the horrible nature of what accussers go through and how ridiculously hard it is to get a conviction.

I'd rather know that the rare innocent person is unfortunately losing out on some of their career than know that many guilty rapists are just continuing on as normal.

Didn’t the CPS bring that case against him to court twice and they couldn’t get a conviction against him? I am not saying he’s innocent or even a decent person but I don’t think we can definitively say he beat up his girlfriend, especially when a court couldn’t prove it on two separate occasions.
I would add it would seem he is an odious person but it’s not the same as being as a rapist.

Just watch football for the entertainment it is because behind the scenes, it's very ugly stuff and that is most clubs.
And just ignore how vile it is? Seems a bit of a weird thing to do. The ugly stuff that bubbles to the surface should be challenged, we shouldn’t pretend it’s not happening.
 
City continued playing Mendy while he was out on bail I believe. It was only when he breached his bail conditions (can't remember what he did) and he was re-arrested that City officially suspended him.

United tried to keep Greenwood. Pretty sure I remember there was a whole press release about re-integrating Greenwood back into the squad and supporting him through the situation. Then after severe backlash from the football community, including a huge chunk of United fans to be fair, the decision was reversed and he was instead loaned out.

That's how I remember those two situations. Open to corrections if I've missed out on some details.

*primarily United fans.
