He’s obviously a gamer

Surely  the more someone spends  in games (driving , shoot-up games etc)  the more that sort of  reality  becomes normal in their real  life?  If you go around shooting  characters on a screen ,  would it not increase the likelihood of them  doing similar  in real life?

Played a lot of Fortnite and Call of Duty over lockdown and growing up - Never once did it cross my mind to get a pickaxe and I could build a fort or I could go out and shoot someone like it's Team Deathmatch - People like him are just sick in the head

Greenwoods ability make this a huge dilemma, you've a player who potentially can be one of the worlds best; If he wasn't in that bracket I suspect they'd just pay up his contract but there's no doubt someone would sign him and 12 months down the line he'd be back playing for a top club. Football fans are fickle and the abuse will eventually simmer down. Suspect Ten Hag will want him  back but the sponsors will obviously have a huge say in this, if this had happened last month then he'd probably have gone overseas on loan.

The story around Manchester is that they were back together last summer so it was surprising to see him charged in November, unfortunately this case has done nothing to help rape victims.

It doesn’t really seem like a huge dilemma. Pretty simple that he never plays for the club again (nor any other club in England, even Chelsea) - short of some extraordinary information coming to light that credibly dilutes the seriousness of what everyone knows went on here.

Whatever about his ability or value, right now he’s commercial kryptonite. Playing him would cost the club much more than what they lose by ditching him.

United’s own ‘process’, as per their statement, is a just a play for time so that they can get their legal and financial ducks in a row. It’s unlikely the Glazers fancy shelling out the £8-10 million for the remainder of his contract at a time when they’re looking shot of the club - so this ‘process’ could well drag on until new owners are in place.

Whole thing is a mess for the club, would’ve been much better to see him go down. Which is also what the pathetic **** deserved.

Look at Partey at Arsenal. Alonso actually killed someone and played for Chelsea. I would rule nothing out

Partey hasn’t been charged yet and details aren’t out as they were with Greenwood.. I’m an Arsenal fan and don’t think Partey should be playing with the investigation going on. Mendy at City is interesting too, he’s been found not guilty of a lot of charges still some he’s getting re-trialled on but if hes found not guilty with them do City take him back?

Sure United and their fans have no values. He will be back in the team in a few weeks.

If it was a Liverpool player involved he would have been sacked on the spot.

Where exactly is Liverpools moral compass. Sack innocent people accused of attempted rape but wear t shirts of support for players who bite and racially abuse other players?  Interesting.

(Accused of) racial abuse. For a legal know-it-all you quite conveniently missed that out for Suarez too.
If Greenwood is innocent, then so is Suarez.

Didnt see too many from United wearing shirts supporting Greenwood though. (Obviously what Greenwood was accused of is 100x worse than Suarez before you say it)

The whole Greenwood case is fishy. Has the gf got paid off? Why did it drag out so long?

of course she got paid off
They’ll stand up for themselves until a few quid is paid into their accounts

The unfortunate thing here is getting paid off (if that is the case) only makes things worse going forward for future victims to be taken seriously.. Personally no amount of money would stop me seeking justice if my daughter was involved

We know the full facts on this one

Same, he wouldn’t be walking if it was me - But I think she was pressured by her family to drop out. I don’t know if you seen her dads statement, saying “they were very much in love” and “he’s been apart of our family for 3 years” almost seemed like he had dollar signs in his eyes.

Charges were dropped because of withdrawal from key witness he wasn’t proven innocent either btw

He had a YouTube 'live' entitled The Violent Night on the night of the 18th December. Shows him playing GTA but comments on the video are saying it is clearly prerecorded

Also has a social media post on new years eve saying 2022 was the worst year of his life and we'd have no idea what he went through, saying he'd never be the same again. Has been tweeting steady throughout January

It’s mental. How did the PSNI miss this?

Well, they didn't.

RedHand can you make sense of Allisons tweet? - "Accused left phone at McNally home, claimed to have forgot it and came back later, phone was recording during that time and recording was found on McCullas device?

Did he leave at the parents house or the victims house? Was he recording their conversations?

Allison Morris named him on twitter just now - Stephen McCulla

If Glen win it through KC refusing to play the replay will it have a big Asterisk or a small one beside it? Would they celebrate it?

Kilmacud just pull a Chelsea and plays the cash on transfers and win it next year no biggy to them

Thought Trossard looked good when he came on.. Might be worth putting him in against Everton, Martinelli looks tired

No it wasn’t DOH

CM
CQ

I’ll leave the other name out of respect for a great career maybe just got caught up on a bad year

Going by your reasoning for leaving them out I’d guess that person is from Burren?

Do we have enough referees to run more games on the Friday? Would be a case of the games being split over the weekend if too many reverse teams get put into the league structure

Sure let the seconds teams play at a different time from the seniors and make them stronger.

Not what I’m saying Truth.. I’m asking do we have enough referees because if not then games are going to be have to played on different days. That affects fixtures all over the county if that’s the case
