Innocent until proven guilty ?

Yep, but then he's a public figure and needs to set a good example. It's not as though he has a perfect history in being a good boy is it?

Innocent until proven guilty ?

The same goes for all the alledged terrorists on trial. Even if they are caught red handed with 2 tonnes of fertilizer, a kilo of nails, bolts, screws...etc, detonators and a DIY bomb making manual downloaded from a Jihadist website. Unless they have been tried by a judge and jury, appealed to every court in the land and then re-appealed to the European Supreme Court, they are innocent

Come on guys, don't be such defeatists.

Our rubbish team need all the support they can get. They have mansions and mistresses to maintain.

That's their problem Graham, after seeing to their mistresses they haven't got any energy left to perform where we want them to

I thought we beat te European and World Cup holders a few months ago or did I dream it?

I agree we have to get behind them and I also agree with this Racism charge he cant be the Captain of the team until its cleared up - personally he is a very big public figurehead and whilst I agree with innocent until proven guilty this particular situation does require sorting.
Why the hearing is out off til after the summer is beyond me - not like this will be subject to requests for Legal Aid - which is reserved for everyone but the tax payer as far as I can see....
