  1. Could be both.... Or neither.... See what comes out over time in the investigations.
  2. Ages and appearances are fun. I don't believe it's an urban myth. Lukaku's mum had to bring his birth certificate to games because nobody could believe he was the age he was. This was him aged 13 I think. The other end, I played for my rugby veterans team because I'd reached the age that you qualify (35) and not long after, one of the colts mums asked me what age group I played for believing I was still a teenager. Still get id'd now occasionally. One day it'll stop.
  3. I knew those Cameroon players would miss just based on their run ups. Such a huge moment in their professional careers and that's the run up they go with.... I don't get it. But they're the ones there and it's a situation I'll never experience.
  4. Course he would be. His name hasn't been released However, he is no longer listed as a player on the official Premier league fantasy football. He was for a while but isn't as of now.
  5. Reporting restrictions you say? Well sherlock holmes' and Colombo's jobs are under threat with you around. Blige. ?? (I jest obviously) As the Everton player's name has never been released by the club or the authorities, what is wrong in asking why Everton's record signing and highest earner hasn't played all season? It's not like they're doing well without him. What rules would they be breaking? They're not reporting on a crime, they're asking a football related question......???
  6. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-60216445.amp Mendy was released on bail recently but today, has another rape charge against him. We also have the Everton player who we cannot name but that is still ongoing, and that involves a child.
  7. Just downloaded it to give it a go. First go, got it on the 3rd word. Don't worry, no daily updates or anything like that. Clever little game.
  8. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2022/feb/01/barnet-players-say-they-were-threatened-with-sack-in-row-over-alleged-racism The staff member was named in the guardian article as Ricky Bartlett
  9. Each case has to be taken on its own merits. Same happened with Mendy. He was released on bail then charged and went to prison and is now out on bail again pending trial. It'll be subject to a whole host of conditions, passport surrendering, no contact with people etc. Just to highlight my point again, let the necessary justice procedures take their course.
  10. Reminds me of the Manchester Derby earlier in the season. It was just after the Yorkshire cricket story about the racist abuse the player received and Martin Tyler said on commentary that footballers were leading the way on social justice...... Didn't say why Mendy wasn't playing though.... We will see what happens come Friday evening
  11. It will come out in due course. Let the relevant authorities do their due dilligence and necessary enquiries and all will become clear (hopefully). Now on to Friday nights game on ITV where United are home to Boro in the cup. Nome of the media (bbc, sky, bt sport etc) have never asked Everton why their record £45 million signing and highest earner hasn't played all season (don't ??????) so I expect some carpet sweeping on Greenwood too. Protect the brand and all that.
  12. ??? You're funny. They wanted champions league football and to win the Europa league. As if they'd drop one of their top young talents in the process. The key is the Everton game that he missed in November 2020. An arrest was made on a Manchester based player around that time and he missed the Everton game due to "illness". Course once the Mendy stuff came out, everyone thought it was him..... Well.... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.manutd.com/en/amp/news/detail/solskjaer-reveals-why-greenwood-missed-everton-1-man-utd-2-on-7-nov-2020 Could be nothing. Could just be a nasty coincidence.
  13. He's still involved with the club on the board of directors. He still has a major role in club matters. You're right though, he may not have known .... But solskjaer has history of covering for players who commit sex crimes.... Google babacar sarr.
  14. Course it is. Its what I've been saying the whole time about football clubs somehow being a beacon of social justice and showing zero tolerance towards discrimination of any kind. No they're not. It makes them feel good about themselves but when the chips are down, it all goes out the window. Just watched a YouTube video of 2 United fans talking about the greenwood situation. They believe the club knew about what he'd "allegedly" done back in late 2020 and covered it up because they wanted to finish in the top 4 and win the Europa league, and if Sir Alex knew and turned a blind eye to it then his statue should be taken down and the stand renamed.
  15. "Futher arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill"
  16. Yeah I knew what you meant by it. I get my example wasnt quite apples with apples but I was multitasking and couldn't think of anyone else off the top of my head. How about David Starkey? As if any footballer would be in a photo with him anyway ?
  17. It's a perfectly legitimate point to make. Begs the question did they ask him for a photo and only apologised after the backlash, or did he ask them. I don't know whether they knew who he was or not. I'm too trusting a person and treat it in good faith when someone says something to me (it's a problem of mine) but he's a very popular artist who was banned from all social media because of what he said about Jewish people. He's well known enough in my opinion for them to know who he was. Rashford said he got pulled in for a photo opportunity in a tweet (or his pr company said at least) .... If 2 of our white academy players had a pic with Tommy Robinson and used the same excuse Rashford and Lingard's pr company came out with "it was a photo op, wasn't aware of any comments" , would it be as glossed over? I'd say not. I'd say they'd be out of here ASAP. But that's hypothetical and some don't like those on here.
  18. Same goes for sky, bt, BBC. Protect the brand.
  19. Not been a good week for Man Utd. Started off with Rashford and Lingard spending time and being photo'd with drill rapper Wiley, who I can only describe as a Nazi sympathiser based on what he said about Jewish people. Both Rashford and Lingard asked their pr companies to put up half assed apologies on twitter and must use the same one due to the strange choice of the same word. (if you know, you know) And now news about Greenwood has come out. More to this story but I don't want to speculate because of legalities but if you piece things together, it becomes clearer. Like why Southgate didn't select him after Iceland. More to it than just the hotel quarentine breech.
  20. Jermaine Jenus did that at a bar an old colleague worked in when he played for Newcastle. Kicked him straight out.
  21. One city fan I follow on twitter said her dad wouldn't be so forgiving with that response if greenwood worked at McDonald's. Just after his future son in laws big bank balance.
  22. That's what I was alluding to in my post earlier but stopped short of saying what it was. There's a few more of those dotted around. ??????????????????
  23. If rumour is to be believed, something terrible happened in late 2020 of a Manchester based footballer. Many thought it was tied in the Mendy story, but it was a separate issue. Greenwood missed an Everton game unexpectedly and the club said it was in "illness" I won't say it in here due to legalities and thread closures, etc, but it's not hard to find. Carpet brushing at its finest if it's been known this whole time and they've continuously ignored it hoping it goes away.
