That's the word you should always keep in mind, too often claims prove false and far too often true. He said she said is a very hard game to play and rarely with a witness, some poor girls get abused badly, some see a chance of a big pay out.
This is why people shouldn't speculate, that's 2 players named so far one from Spurs who's not in the country and one from Arsenal.
They shouldn’t, but that’s the world we live in unfortunately. Social media ‘news’ is an unstoppable force and folk want to know who it is, so cue the rumour mill
They will be pre judged as well, whoever they are. Notice I said "Alleged" naughty boy. There are others who, as soon as a name is mentioned, will be prepared to eat that person alive. No such thing as due process anymore.
I’m not pointing the finger at anyone just yet but that picture was from a week ago, mate. One of my mates is a ST holder at your place, saw him say to someone on Twitter how that was part of training photos from the previous week, not yesterday.
The media have played it all so wrong - to the surprise of nobody. Whilst I know they report news as and when they get it, releasing the type of info they had without a name has just caused a social media witch-hunt. Multiple players names are now being dragged through the mud because they’re linked with being a possible rapist.
Trouble is mate, the people I saw posting his name on twitter, weren't the slightest bit interested in the truth, they did it because it was seen as opposition team bantzs which imho is bang out of order.
You're right, really until there is a name to announce, there isnt any news. But the media aren't in the game for anyone's interests other than their own.
I think hes a good player and really wanted him for us, but I dont think theyre gonna use him properly.
Nature of the beast I'm afraid. Don't make it right, but that is the world we live in unfortunately. I know this place is full of **** housery most of the time, but I like to think that when it comes to the serious issues, we're all pretty much on the same page about where the line is. Social media for the most part, doesn't seem to be.
