'An LGBT campaigner named Agripino Magalhães reports Neymar to police for threatening to "introduce a broomstick into the mother’s boyfriend’s anus".'

 

Such a charmer, Neymar.

I remember when he was a very highly rated youngster on Championship Manager (during his days with Charlton)

Arsenal charged by the FA for failing to control their players against Oxford. 

 

That's 2 games in a row, innit?

Season imploding. Arteta needs to get in an assistant manager with experience to bring a cool head for the second half of the season, someone who’s maybe been one of the most important managers of the last century, someone who has 1,000+ games managed under his belt

Was randomly thinking about Albert's chip in the 5-0. Then started thinking how many chipped goals there seemed to be in the 90s. Swear it doesn't happen half as often these days, or am I totally wrong?

[Jonas]

Seems right.

Defences are a lot deeper now than they were and the back-pass rule changing negate some of the reasoning for keepers being off the line and the chances of one on ones from a distance where a chip would be on. The more professional percentages too - someone tries an Albert and is doesn't come off they' be chastised now, perhaps even if the game was in the bag, for future reference.

 

So stylish though. Kitson against Swansea,Peacock against Swindon, O'Brien the first at the mackems, Quinn against Derby are sumptuous to watch.

I was told it was all our fault they bawled in our game against them... you mean, there's actual doubt about that!?

Not sure he was Wales’s greatest footballer. 

That’s a good debate. You could make compelling arguments for 4-5 players.

[Disco]

I see Leeds have had to tell their inbred fans it’s bad form to sing about young black lad’s dicks just like the mackems did to no avail. The fuck is wrong with people?

Sometimes the complaints will be false.

[Dokko]

Career ruined. You'd have thought it was watertight.

[Nine]

So the accusations were false? Will anything happen to the accusers? 

[The Prophet]

Not guilty doesn't necessarily mean that accusations are false, just that they can't be proven beyond all reasonable doubt. It can happen in rape cases where it boils down to the defendant's word against the accused's.

 

I'm not saying that it's the case here, but it can be.

Whiffs of the benefits of an expensive legal team. I remember when Gerrard was filmed jumping someone sat in a bar with his mates and got off after pleading self-defence.

Not necessarily. 1 in 100 accusations recorded to the police result in a charge let alone a conviction, I'd put good money on way more than 1 in 100 being legit like.

From the Guardian report:

 

Several weeks into the trial, the judge ordered the jury to find both Mendy and Matturie not guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman, after a video emerged showing her having “enthusiastic and obviously consensual sex” with Matturie.

Mendy’s defence team used this dropped charge to plant doubt in the jury’s mind, suggesting that if one woman had lied, could the others not also have made up their allegations?

“What you have actually seen with your own eyes in this case is – I hesitate to use the word – a real-life liar,” said Eleanor Laws KC in her closing speech to the jury.

“Someone who has made serious criminal allegations against two men. And you have watched it play out, unusually, in front of your eyes. Because when ever does a defendant have a film to prove their innocence? Hardly ever.”

Fucking hell, he got Harvey Specter and Annalise Keating both representing him like?

[Tiresias]

Court reporter at the chron actually once told me a story of a burglary and rape trial he covered where a burglar broke into a woman's house wearing a mask and raped her in her bed. The jury convicted him of burglary but acquitted him of rape because they felt there was apparently reasonable doubt that she consented to this masked intruder. Rape conviction rates are an absolute scandal
