Maybe. Or a pen, a key, a ring, etc. Or a knife, but knife wounds can get real nasty so I hope not.
Fck, thats exactly what happened, how did you know? Was meant to be top secret as in "secret police"
Seriously, looks like our "Arry" was simply behaving as the hero he is
You might not understand but others do.
And nobody said being off your tits excuses anything. It does go towards explaining stupid behaviour though.
I've no feeling either way towards Harry Maguire and if he got locked up for 2 years it would probably help Chelsea (in a small way) but this all seems like much ado about nothing. Drunk bloke overreacted and acted stupidly is my take based on what we know now.
Sporked in the arm perhaps.
Good stuff
There has to be some coincidence in this happening the same week Liverpool sign a Greek player. They are clearly behind this.
Have you ever been to Greece? I have never ever had any trouble with police in Greece. And I personally don't know anybody who have. So you are painting a picture that isn't true.
When it comes to BLM. That movement was created to shine a light on how some minoreties and ethnic groups are being treated by police. It was not created that you should you use it when you want to get some points. This is why BLM isn't longer what it was supposed to be. To many have taken advantage of that movement and that is why it has lost little of its meaning. Sadly.
It was response to your anti police statement. I said that picture would change if you put Maguire in the bucket of young brittish partyloving lads and how people see them. I never said Maguire is like them. Just that you should not talk about Maguire as a individual and when it comes to police it suddenly becomes as a group.
And if you have followed my comments on this matter you should see that I have said that you can't do that. I put "common view of english lad culture" as a example on how you suddenly have another picture by only doing that as a response on him putting all police in same bucket. Not that I was putting Maguire in it.
Why not? He could've been charged and out on bail pending trial.
It's not as if he is some random bloke that will disappear.
You might want to read through the thread and collect a little context to the conversation, mate. It's quite clearly in response to those maniacs who claimed he should lose his armband and could get jail time. Other posters stated they were skeptical because the Hellenic Police has a colourful history of making false claims, and then the xenophobic brigade arrived to explain why being British and being abroad meant he must be guilty of beating up police.
Nope. It’s taramasalata that’s the pink one.
Same reason why Sancho's thread has reached 700+ pages of posts.
Yes I have been to Greece several times. I personally have been warned about the Hellenic police by Greeks. My anecdotes are as good as yours. Spend just 5 minutes researching it, and you'll know why people are skeptical.
What does this paragraph even mean? Of course it wasn't founded to 'get some points.' Doesn't mean the universal awakening of people to police corruption can't be considered when we are talking about a undeniably corrupt police force.
It's incredible how on the same forum I can be accused of being both pro and anti police. Being skeptical of a organization that is recognized globally for it's corruption shouldn't be a sore spot for you, particularly when it was originally in response to those using Britains reputation abroad as a reason why all the initial rumours must be true. We've now got local papers indicating that Maguire's sister had been stabbed. Almost like those of us who said, 'let's wait before condemning him,' might be on to something...
Where did I say that ...
What on earth does Black Lives Matter have to do with Harry Maguire and his white English mates getting drunk, getting into a fight and allegedly hitting and bribing a police officer?
There is no connection whatsoever.
Google: What is Context? If only there was some way to find out why it was used when posters were inexplicably using Maguire's nationality as cause, but denying the Hellenic Police's well publicized corruption and mistreatment of foreigners.
It's not incredible at all, seeing as people have extremely wide views of the cops.
However, it's even less incredible how someone can get stick for bringing up BLM here. Black Lives Matter is about how especially minorities and other disadvantaged groups have been brutalized by police since forever. Murdered, beat up, profiled and having their lives ruined. Systematically. Black Lives Matter is not about filthy rich white people boozing and brawling on vacation.
You can make obvious points about police overreach, corruption and how they're inherently untrustworthy due to their power and nature of their profession without invoking Black Lives Matter. It's low.
And it all got lost in translation .... Nice cover story invented by his lawyer
How many posters need to tell you that on this matter you’re taking crap? Seriously there is no link.
Is it that shocking that our captain getting arrested while on holiday has people writing on a forum dedicated to the club of said captain?
That's not what happened at all.
It's doesn't make it 'low' to use a recent example to illustrate why people are now skeptical of the actions of and statements of police departments. Stop trying to imply there was more to my statement than there is. 'It's low.'
That's exactly what happened.
BLM was about American cops targeting black people for crimes they didn’t commit, or for Indefensible violent or even murderous acts by police against black people.
I don’t think there was one person who was protesting for the rights of drunk English tourists fighting policeman on Mediterranean summer resorts. But you’re welcome to start that movement and see if it catches on.
Don’t attach it to BLM though as you’ll get laughed out of town.

Daily mail reporting Maguires sister was stabbed in the incident
Where is the proof of this? I have seen nothing that confirms Maguire was involved in any fighting.
Unless you can prove otherwise he is just being arrested of suspicion.
So that’s the ‘compromise’ that was reached. He has his get out clause.
Doubt Maguire will be allowed to ever set foot again in Greece which will make future CL or international games a controversy.
So many pages, this fast, is weird to me. Not the subject itself...
Except it's pretty evident you've joined the conversation part way through and formed an opinion on it you thought was important to share. It wasn't even used as a direct comparison, rather, a throw away comment about how people are now more aware of police corruption because of BLM and why they are skeptical, particularly when the police organization in question is reknowned for being corrupt. But don't let that get in the way of a good put down.
You seem to know Greek law very well.
Only during the season. They were allowed to drink during their holidays. They used to have beers on the coach back from away games.
