Haha exactly. This story keeps getting juicier.So secret police are now being deployed to sort out minor scuffles?

Maybe he had a change of clothing
I think he had a good first season at the club too, so I guess we're both in the minority.
In any case, I hope the situation isn't as bad as first feared. Maguire appears to be a good guy and a natural leader of men, which probably went a long way to earning the captaincy role. It will be a real shame if the allegations against him turn out to be true.
I'm still holding out hope that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Reassuring to hear that he wasn't the one behind the alleged bribe.
Yeah but it does mean his mates clearly didn't offer enough money. He needs new, less frugal friends.
Man a second night? I reckon i should put a few quid on his books so he can get some snacks. Let's see if he get a tat while in.
Isn't one his brother, not a lot he can do about that.
Halloumi sandwich
I'd be enormously surprised if if it was in the same galaxy as that. And even if he'd have been in the US and done that, his celebrity status would ensure your (commiserations) insane system of state violence wouldn't apply to him.
I don't think Greek authorities would be holding him for so long if it was absolutely minuscule (let alone self-defense).
Ah the jealous sibling. The one that didn't get to successful. He knew what he was doing. Harry got bro shafted.
Sounds like he wasn’t stupid enough to offer the bribe himself and got one of his companions to do so on the groups behalf.
Also news that the first police altercation was with plain clothes cops may help lesson the first charges of resisting arrest. He may be able to squirm out of this, with the other two taking on some flack on his behalf.
If Lindelof is any sort of defensive partner, he's sat in a tattoo parlour right now with an overnight flight to Greece booked, ready to do a Michael Schofield.
Baseless assumption.
Maguire could do with a bit of this right now...

A team of researchers from Finland reckon they’ve cracked the elusive hangover cure. They reckon a dose of an amino acid called L-cysteine is enough to reduce nausea and headaches in those of us who’ve imbued too much of a good time the night before.

I hope this goes away soon. Cannot have this distraction hanging over the season.
So our club captain is being detained for a second night, whilst his supposedly washed up predecessor was playing in a European cup final that we fell short of reaching.
In that analogy, Harry Maguire is Linc, who I would say, conservatively, spent 30% of every show kicking people in the face. Clearly no cnut had ever taught him how to fight properly, so he just toe poked them in the mush and leaves it at that. So yeah, the Maguire analogy tracks, I guess.
Our defence is so crap, and yet it's actually managed to get someone locked up.
That's impressive.
That's impressive.
And?
Just read he’s locked up for a second night....some serious shit is going down here.
So not only are we making zero inroads in the market this summer, one of the few decent signings in recent years is doing his best to rule himself out for the beginning of next season.
Any reason to give Bruno the armband.
Although according to large parts of our fanbase, we should be getting rid of him.
I mean, it's not like we've got a backlog of CBs that need shipping out.
I'm surprised with some of the excuses some are coming up with for him. Imagine if this happened to Rooney while he was our captain, Rooney getting drunk involved in a fight attacking police attempting a bribe being arrested and spending two nights in a police station..
He would have been slaughtered.
He would have been slaughtered.
Indeed. He’s been our best CB since Fergie left.
No one is making excuses, but let’s wait until we get some credible information before we throw him to the lions? Do you not think?
Starting with being knocked out of the Europa league to the Sancho deal falling through, to other teams strengthening while we aren't even properly linked to anyone, to our club captain and best defender being thrown in prison. We really need some positive fecking news
Now I'm doing a Man United casting of Prison Break in my mind. Cheers.
Hahaha we don’t know anything yet!
Easily. Shame Phil Jones was too injured to go to Mykonos this summer instead.
Without doubt, absolutely slaughtered
I feel sorry for Ole, this summer hasn’t gone well for him so far.
So secret police are now being deployed to sort out minor scuffles?
I have no idea what mandate Greek police have but when I worked as a police officer the same duty applied in uniform as without. If I saw a crime being commited I had to intervene, even if i was off duty. Maybe the 'secret police' was a police officer on his free time.
If only him and Rojo had been off there together.
It’s been a week?
Something similar happened to Keane. Not only did the fans not seem to give a feck but the furore died down pretty quickly. Although the net wasn't what it is now, so we didn't have to suffer whiny, faux-outraged keyboard warriors jumping to conclusions and hammering their own players over limited information.
Wouldn't be hearing that if this was Rooney. He'd be crucified. Beside, credible information? There is an official police statement, Greece isnt some third world country. He has been arrested and an official police statement has been released.
