I get that just tune in for the knockout stages will make a thread for you to pop your head into for catch up anyway
Did you see that 18 year old lad ended up with a year in prison for having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend in Dubai. I remember the topic being on the crime thread. Suppose there is a lesson there, know the laws of land that you are going to. Although it 's harsh I think he's got off quite light, because you never know which way these things can go in countries that hand out severe penalties.
Were they Dubai natives or tourists from another country? If they were tourists, then that is harsh, but rules is rules. If they were natives, then thats on them for being ****ing stupid and breaking the laws of their country. And either way, yeah, as Luv said, how'd it get out that this act had taken place?
The girls mum kicked off when they returned from holiday after finding out and contacted authorities iirc
So it was this? https://news.sky.com/story/briton-1...oliday-romance-with-17-year-old-girl-13261772 Wow when I got back to the UK, if I was that 18 year old, I would track them down and made sure her mum got her ****ing head caved in. Thats evil!! Your daughter was 17 ffs! only a few months younger than the dude. If she was 14 or 15 yeah I could understand but 17? thats just evil!
Seriously though, thats ****ing harsh. Making the kid spend a year in a middle eastern prison because he and your daughter got down, consensually at age 17. Again, if she was 15 or he was 50 or something I would understand, but thats ****ed up.
I believe the girls mother grassed them up if my memory is correct....and yeah that's another whole discussion on that one.
I believe they were tourists, and yeah as I said it's harsh, but it's better than I thought he would have got. I don't agree with it, but it's their laws, I expect ours to be adhered to, so I have to expect us to respect theirs. Blame the girls mum for this one.
Thats the thing though, the list also shows reserve player injuries or players that werent gonna get anywhere near a PL game starting XI anyway. So it doesnt prove much. Its about how much the injuries hurts your squad rather than just sheer numbers. Like if Chelsea lost Cole Palmer to injury, its gonna affect us more than if Arsenal lose 2 squad players.
In Dubai you can rape a woman and if she complains she'll get arrested. Happened to both an Irish girl and a Danish one living out there. I don't think it's technically the law, but the cops don't seem to really give a ****.
