That's the trouble mate, you are too soft, way too soft for your own good, regardless of what @FosseFilberto & @PINKIE say.

I would have suspended him, simple reason you can't take the risk, no sure why football should be treated any differently than the NHS and other vulnerable sources.

Would people allow a teacher accused of child abuse, still to teach their kids until it comes to trial, I know I wouldn't.

The CEO caught at the Coldpay concert was pretty much forced to resign for taking his bit on the side to it. Whether liked or not, you have to uphold standards when in the public eye.

I get it but you’d have Sucky accusing Rodri of rape before Liverpool play City. I’m joking but something not far off that would happen. Suspend them while charged by all means.

Poor guy was only having a cuddle and his life has been destroyed. <laugh>

Loads of jobs you can't do in this country if you have a criminal record and want to work with the elderly or young, or anything that engages with that likely happening (Enhanced DBS). Football should be no different, if a player is accused of such serious offences they should get suspended immediately. I don't know if Partey was still playing, training or not but if he was he shouldn't of been, and for me it would demonstrate the double standards in football if he did, especially when it's a sport that works so closely with charities, hospitals, schools and is also trying to improve the image of the game around misogyny. Sorry gone on a bit.
Arteta was playing him. The guy was on bail for a few years and then just four days after he left Arsenal, the police then decided to charge him.

That seems too much of a coincidence, for me. It stinks, tbh.

Arsenal knew the seriousness of the multiple charges and it was also three different women. That should have been enough to suspend him on full pay. They consciously chose not to do that.
 
0-1 Italy, despite the England possession, could see this coming, Italy just waiting patiently for their opportunity, and we get sucker punched.

Better finishing from England and we would in front, the Italians took their chance very well we missed our best two chances

Yeah we should be in front, like you say Italy took their chance and we have failed to put ours away, one particular good save by the Italian keeper. Italy just standing their ground and making us work. I think our strength will pay off eventually, but they are sprightly ****ers.

James tried to place her shot and if it had been top or bottom corner we score but waist high made it easier for their keeper, Russo just got her angle wrong with the keeper beaten
