No wonder the police get dispirited?
I agree but if there was no evidence to support 1 but other was thats only thing I can conclude for different verdicts.

I had read somewhere that police seized the videos before deletion but it may been only one was videod or it got deleted.

The hotel lad might heared one not the other reconised the voice.

I read since one players has called this lady out on twitter calling her just shows the mentality some players today.

I wish FA got more involved and PFA started to educate them better. Would go along say due to they are in public role model maybe those convicted serious crimes banned for life. It maybe sharp deterent now wanted. Young hopefuls and kids look up to these players. With that in mind think FA needs to punish players for off field activity.

If players wont behave then nanny state is only solution. Make them scared.

It shows to me they paid way too much maybe time for wage cap to re-introduce. Fast cars, fast lifestyle has made them think they above the law, can take what they want do what they want. If they caught they just say they wanted it they gold diggers there been loads cases recently surely clubs should take more responsibility in what there players get upto.

Someone having a damn good go at taking my head off with an axe and getting 9 months (out in 3) after going all the way to trial was a particular highlight...

Anyway this isn't over yet. I've no doubt the one found guilty will appeal the decision.
Totally agree

Biggest one I hate CPS drops it to lesser charge as they think they wont get conviction or worse in case the costs of the trial. They even dropped them completely its not about justice anymore about costs. I can tell alot when CPS muck about its pretty disheartening for victims to you want to throttle them your so angry. Another seeing **** get 10 years then see them serve less on the streets do the same again to another victim.
