Utd supposedly in discussions/ close to signing Rabiot.

It's as if that club just doesn't learn. Talented player with a stinking attitude, though they literally just let one of those go to the very club they'll be trying to sign Rabiot from and the one they let go is the better player.

Someone please, make it make sense.

Once the media turn then they will be in trouble.

Likewise, the media are changing their opinion on us, predicting a good season for us, and that will influence our season for the better. Teams will be wary and refs won't want to upset the media. we saw that clearly with Leicester, and maybe already we were a tad lucky with a couple of decisions on Saturday.

MOTD2 basically tried to blame the Brighton player for McTominay's challenge.

Ryan Giggs trial: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62423393
"The jury was told witnesses in the case will include former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and former player Gary Neville."
Character witnesses, I assume.

Perhaps to vouch that given as a player he headed the ball
like a wet lettuce, there is no way he could head-butt
a person with any force.

Wasn't he one of the people that had a super injunction preventing reporting of something bad he had done previously. Unless this was the thing he was trying to prevent being reported. Or is there something else?

That was him cheating on his wife with somebody off Big Brother, an affair which began almost immediately after he was rumbled for sleeping with his wife's sister

Are we sure he isn't from Florida...?

Does Wolves letting Coady go to Everton on a season loan make any sense, they could be fighting each other for points at the end of the season

People are regularly suspended on full pay while matters are investigated. The employer simply says it is without prejudice.

This happenes to nurses, doctors, childcare staff, teachers, care workers, social workers and others on a very regular basis.

If those allegations had been made against me I would be suspended from my job until the investigation was complete due to the safe guarding implications.

But you also did not answer my point about Greenwood...were United wrong in addressing the accusations against him?

Cos by following your logic, they should not have stopped him coming to training, should not have addressed the issue by issuing a press release saying they were aware of the situation and should have continued to play him.

Yeah, like i say i'm torn on this. Given your job and who you work with i can fully understand the need to "take precautions/action" so can see how this could maybe should apply to everyone.
I just tend to think of it as presumption of guilt by the employer in jurors eyes.

It’s worth pointing out that justice can’t even technically run its course in one of the cases.

Legislation at the time of the incident prevented the UK from prosecuting overseas sex crimes, this legislation changed just one week later. With the evidence the woman posted on social media and the fact Barnet police even tweeted themselves about the legislation at the time preventing prosecution, it’s damning and almost an absolute certainty that Partey raped/ sexually assaulted this woman but is getting off on a technicality.

Being investigated for two other allegations as well should ring alarm bells to any employer, as well as fellow colleagues.

Maybe it’s the cynical side in me but I can’t help but wonder what if the player in question wasn’t a £50m first choice player? What if it was an academy/ reserve player or someone on the fringes of the first team?

The two other allegations have been made by one woman which again waves a flag to me. If you had been unfortunate enough to have been assaulted once by a person would you allow yourself to be in a position for the same to happen again?

Could of course be many explanations for this, forced entry to room, both assaults happened in the same incident and other ways it could have occurred.

Wow! 10 years ago (ish). Seriously had no idea it was that long ago. My brain had gone totally mush. You'll be telling me that 1971 was 50 years ago next!

The journey of time is slow but it passes quickly. We have been on not606 for 12 years and 606 some 5 years before that. FFS BUT this community has sorted itself, we lost some idiots along the way and also had good posters taken from us. Now we have a place for football discussion and (as Kennedy would say) the other things. Time has sorted that. Time would be perfect if it wasn't for humans ****ing it up.
There endeth my thought for the day. What about that Kulusevski goal :emoticon-0170-ninja
