Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending

Surely banging out an Albanian gangster after he stabbed your sister should be viewed as admirable and certainly forgivable. Especially compared to some other shit we’ve seen in football (besides the really bad rapist/nonces). Richard Keogh just signed for MK Dons, Rooney did some dodgy shit, didn’t Barkley have a fight recently too?

Why’s this so blown out of proportion?

Let’s assume Maguire is broadly innocent of the worst charges and is able to convince United that he didn’t make successive bad judgements, and so they stick by him as captain.

In that scenario, the PR team need to manage this carefully. Firstly they need to flood the media of the real story. Then make a statement that they are standing by him. And then quickly follow that up with the announcement of a major transfer signing to move the news cycle onto a different subject. And do all this before players return for training.

Else this becomes a major distraction.

So you're saying Maguire orchestrated all of this, probably at the order of Ole to force the Boards hand to pull the trigger on Sancho asap!
Genious!

"A man on a bicycle snatched the handbag from a woman in her 90s in central Västerås.

Then Victor Lindelöf came to the rescue, according to information to Sportbladet.

The football star ran in a race and held on to the suspected thief until the police arrived."

If true, Maguire could learn some things about PR from hes CB partner :)
 
What is Lindelof doing travelling to Sweden during a global pandemic?

Why does the club allow this?

:wenger:
 
Other clubs have players who have endangered peoples' lives while drink driving, not to mention Chelsea's left back who actually killed someone. Never heard the uproar that this story has generated.

Maguire wouldn't have been able to catch him

You speaking about Greece in general but Mykonos is a partyisland where people in their mid 20’s getting drunk and take cocaine for breakfast. That’s why islands like Mykonos and Ibiza should be banned from the club. Professionals shouldn’t be there, especially not during a pandemic. And they should absolutely not be there to drunkfight with police and fans. Is that so hard for you to understand?

You can forget social distancing at an island like Mykonos. Too small.

Bruno actually met up his former team in Portugal, visiting their training camp today - 3 weeks before PL season starts. That’s what I call leadership.

You cannot tell people in the free world where to go on vacation. Footballers are not slaves, are they.

Wasn't wearing a mask and was less than 2 metres away from a stranger. Shocking.
 
It’s a disgrace that we allow our players to travel to party islands where they are exposed to skullduggery and high jinks. They should be holidaying in more wholesome places like Scarborough and Devon. You wouldn’t see Giggs or Rooney or any of our other legends of old doing these things.

Absolutely right. As far as I can recall, Giggs used to love the quiet family holidays.

Indeed, it’s a slippery slope we’re on right now. If we don’t control our players, they might end up smoking cigs and banging prostitutes for all we know.

I was supposed to be visiting in Octoberfor a work conference in Houston. Me & the Mrs were going to take advantage of the free flights & make a holiday out of it, do the F1 in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio etc in a couple of weeks’ road trip before she left & I’d do my work thing. More we looked into it the cooler the place sounded.

Pretty gutted it’s off now, but hopefully will be doing it next year instead!

Why didn't Lindelof just ask the suspected thief nicely? If the suspected thief didn't comply, then he just should have called the manager of that bicycle company instead of getting involved. There is no reason to go for violence esp. against a stranger during covid. Its embarrassing.

Equally though there must be people that don't spend as much money like that?

Oh, for sure. I'm just saying that if you really have to or want to spend obscene amounts of money, at least spend it on something that actually give you or someone else some benefit other than bragging about how rich you are.

They are under contract and there are plenty of rules they have to follow. To call it slaves is just silly.
There are so many other places they could go.

Mykonos is too small for social distancing

Texas is fine, but Austin is one of the most overrated cities in America. It’s where people go for bachelorette parties and unless your main thing is partying it’s really just a worse, cheaper version of San Francisco.
 
I´m a bit disappointed by the other defenders, to be honest. They need to step up their game. Tomorrow´s headline should be "Bissaka rescuing puppet from drowning", or something. Or "Jones rescuing local doctor from bankruptcy." Is that too much to ask?

Man I'd love to see AWB striding out of a lake carrying a marionette
 
Charges have been significantly downgraded.

looks like those pesky Greek cops were lying after all. Surprise surprise!

Haha yeah. Jones at least give doctors extra work to do, but they are wealthy anyway.

What an absolute load of crap. I've travelled to Greece extensively and, yes, you can go to party spots... Or y'know, you can go to one of the many beautiful spots that are not in those areas (i.e. the majority of the island).

Ibiza is also an amazing island for many things other than getting pissed.

If Harry really wanted to, he could go and get wasted anywhere in the World, including at home.

We did a similar trip last summer (only missing Houston, we didn’t quite have time to make that work) - had an great time, helped by being upgraded by Hertz to this amazing Dodge Challenger to drive around the state like a proper cliche :lol: Found the people to be great as well; somehow we managed to avoid the Trumpers :D

Hope you get to do the trip safely sometime soon.
