Popular Post craig 5,199 Posted November 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2018 8 hours ago, JFK-1 said: We can expect this to be likened to the recent yahoo paedophile scandal. Gazza has been off the rails for years. Probably drunk and thinking his actions were just another one of his pranks that will be laughed at. Talk about a quantum leap of epic proportions... Who needs enemies and all that. He's been charged, how about we actually let the case run its course before we jump to condemnation ? Innocent until proven guilty and all that, no ? I am not defending him if he has done this - but we have seen plenty of examples of false accusation - just look at your own neck of the woods where it is now known that at least one of Kavanaugh's accusers admitted to fabricating the allegation. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Gazza's story is that it was a heavy\fat lady and she was being pestered\insulted by a group of guy's. He stepped in and told them to leave her alone. He sat next to her and said you are beautiful from the inside and outside. I was also fat once and people bullied me. He put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek. I have no idea what is a sexual attack these days to be honest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever that is deemed to be? It smells like a stitch up to me but time will tell? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It smells like a stitch up to me but time will tell? Can't be. The fact he has been charged means he should be hung, drawn and quartered..... I'm clearly being facetious but it really grinds my gears that "one of our own" is being condemned as guilty before we know pretty much any of the story. Gazza's manager told him to say nothing - but it is abundantly clear that Gazza wears his heart on his sleeve and comes across as one of those "my life is an open book" type of person. So he spoke his side of the story. Sounds to me as if it is another #metoo looking for their 15 minutes of fame - at the expense of a "celebrity" who has no demons to seek. I can only hope that Gazza doesn't end up off the deep end over this. If he is guilty then so be it and he will, as he should, suffer the consequences. If, however, it is found that the accuser is making false accusation then she should be forced to suffer the sentence he would otherwise face - false accusations are infuriating. I watched a news segment on a young guy who was a 20 or 21 yr old college student. Girl accuses him of rape, he gets charged, goes all the way through the justice system, they find out the prosecution had withheld evidence which proved the girl was the one harassing him and made a false accusation due to his spurning of her advances.... his reputation was in tatters, regardless of the fact he was innocent - and, all the while, she could hide behind the veil of anonymity - where is the justice in that ??? It is so inherently unjust that it would be laughable, if it weren't for the fact it is ruining people's reputations and lives. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the Gazza case is yet another social mhedia/look at me and believe me stunt.The female should be identified. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bill 13,717 Posted November 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2018 If his accuser had to declare her identity you can be sure this case would never have come to court. Either both should enjoy anonymity ... or neither 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
