Disgraceful club. This will stain them and their management.

What? Ridiculous response. Talk about missing the point. So she should be selective about supporting women’s rights? Doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t United, I’d have thought the the club should really be irrelevant. Does she not think these three women’s accusations are not worth her support because it isn’t United?
The world we live in. Even so called United fans
are quite happy to let issues slide when it isn’t United? Rio’s suspension, Eric’s double suspension, Scholes’ suspension, Rooney suspension etc etc all unprecedented and/or never repeated. Do these accusations lack merit because it is Arsenal? I’d rather think the focus should be on the poor alleged victims rather than worry about who the alleged perpetrator plays for. She isn’t even a real supporter. Ironically, she fancied Ryan Giggs.100%
Even though the responsibility ultimately lies with the club, I am a firm believer that managers/head coaches need to start putting their foot down with these types of issues rather than just selecting their team based on performances in training. As fans, we trust our manager to have a strong moral compass, otherwise they shouldn't be in the job.
I always thought Sam Allardyce should never have gotten another job since he continued to play Adam Johnson for Sunderland, even after he was arrested and charged with sexual activity with a child and child grooming. It was only after Johnson pled guilty on one count that the club severed ties with the player. A few months later, Allardyce was rewarded with the England managerial job. That, in my opinion, was more scandalous than what actually led to Allardyce leaving after 1 game.

So you just convict men and not allow them to prove their innocence ? I'm not sure what you are trying to imply. Either we get legislation then and change the criminal proceedings to Guilty till proven innocent or we stick with Innocent till proven guilty in the court of law.
Any sex crime is abhorant, but we must allow the criminal system to do it's thing. Until then you simply cannot convict him. None of us know what has happened in this case. Whilst yes many men may have escaped justice, there have also been many instances when women have made up stories too. That is why it's important to let the criminal proceedings play out.
As for Arsenal, if it's a case of he said she said, and no behaviour was untoward then what can they do ? If he crossed a line and was out taking drugs, behaving irresponsible then they should have come down on him hard. It's a tough one.
There was a league one player my cousin was dating. He was so paranoid that he put his phone on record throughout all their dates. Are we getting here ?
This is madness. Imagine being that paranoid about the media running a false story on Exeter's CB being accused of a domestic crime that you put your phone on record during all intimate encounters. Sounds like he has trust issues more than anything.
Her speaking out about United trying to reintegrate Mason Greenwood doesn't mean she's now obliged to make statements any time a footballer is accused of rape. Are you perhaps blaming her for you not getting to see Mason play for United?What? Ridiculous response. Talk about missing the point. So she should be selective about supporting women’s rights?

What happened to Gylfi Sigurdsson by the way, was there ever any clear information about what happened? I know the investigation was dropped and he agreed not to sue GMP, but did he have any grounds for suing or was he quite likely guilty but they couldn't meet the right threshold of evidence. Any idea?
It should...but it probably won't, let's be honest.
And of course, the usual suspects are out in force playing this all down.
The original post was being snarky about Riley. That was the reason for my reply to it.What? Ridiculous response. Talk about missing the point.

I’m female and a feminist so I don’t need lessons on women’s rights thanks.
You clearly missed the point of my reply.
I wasn't talking about conviction. I was talking about the club. It seems in your worldview the only time we can judge someone is if they're proven guilty in a criminal case. But for example a civic court has a different threshold for evidence which is much lower. A workplace can set their own threshold. We as random people can make our own decisions. It wouldn't take anywhere near the same amount of evidence for me as a club owner or manager to not want anything to do with someone accused of rape by multiple women with evidence in the public domain. The vast majority of the time it would be true. So I'd act however I can within the law to sever ties with that person or at least isolate them. Because the alternative is letting someone who is very likely a rapist continue on as normal in your club. You don't have to wait for a criminal court verdict to make some decisions on how to act.
That's just weird and creepy and perhaps your cousin should have thought about walking straight out the door when he started recording their dates.
Many instances? The number of false accusations is miniscule in comparison to the number of rapists who get away with it
I couldn't give a rat's ass about Partey and his richness. I just had a friend last year going through this and he lost quite a lot, including his job.
On another note, I have seen now the leaks and it seems it's not that 50/50 so I retract what I said. (albeit them leaks can be manufactured, of course)
Men are in fact more likely to be raped than than to be falsely accused of rape.
All coming from Andrew Tate’s training academy
They’ll be sad to discover this place is not Twitter.
About that Arsenal being cool thread… yikes.
What has Rachel Riley got to do with it?
feck Partey, feck Arteta, and feck Arsenal FC
I'm not sure arsenal has the power to convict people. They did, however, have the power to do the right thing and not make him one of the visible faces of the club until things were sorted out.
Arsenal's decision was not a legal one, was a moral one, and they fecked up.
