[Archived] Manchester United "star"

[bellamy11]

Poor lad. I'm glad that this has been sorted out. As Philip says, it won't be long until the next one. Then the one after that. These people crying rape are doing real rape victims no good at all. There are real rapists and real rape victims out there, and all the attention gets heaped on some poor footballer who a girl thinks can be taken to the cleaners. It's just sad.

[tcj_jones]

I could be wrong as I haven't really paid that close attention to the case, but didn't the case collapse because of a lack of evidence?

That wouldn't necessarily mean that the girls were lying, just that they couldn't prove they were actually raped.

Got to say though, the impression I get from this is that the girls became jealous when Ronaldo picked up another girl and cried rape.

[stuwilky]

The police wanted to put the case forward, the CPS declined due to "insufficient evidence".

EDIT - Didnt make sense!

Police are not confirming or denying the involvement of any Man United players after an alleged rape of a 26-year-old woman at a hotel where United players had been attending a party.

No doubt this is just another gold digger trying to get money out of a young footballer.

[gazsimm]

Two minutes and it's still there!

[Rovermatt]

The man named above is from Rathcoole in North Belfast. I wouldn't imagine he'd be unfamiliar with police interviews.

Mind numbing that RFW allowed Rio to organise that party!

How on earth the WAGS gave night passes to an officially sanctioned bordello with hot and cold running floozies is an interesting question as well.

BBC name Johnny Evans

He didn't - wasn't it Gary Neville who organised it?

[philipl]

Rio's party without Ronaldo for those who want to read it.

My imagination, or does Wes Brown look seriously unhappy in that picture. Almost uncomfortable...

not as uncomfortable as john o`shea

So you've heard as well then.

So you've heard as well then.

Seems there is a similar incident every year at the United christmas party. Funnily enough O'Shea is never involved

If that turns out to be the case then she needs to be given whatever sentence he would have got if he got proved guilty.

[Lathund]

Yes, "no doubt"

Let's skip the whole thing with the judges and just decide cases based on our instinct when first reading about it! Anyone accusing a sports star of a crime is just a gold-digger (Because they can't possibly be guilty, can they? Lee Hughes, Michael Vick, O.J Simpson say hi), unless of course the accused is a Burnley player, in which case he's probably guilty.

[tchocky]

Feel sorry for the guy. If he does turn out to be guilty though.....

[lockers]

The man named above is from Rathcoole in North Belfast. I wouldn't imagine he'd be unfamiliar with police interviews.

Aye mate, cos everyone from these Belfast estates are familiar with the cops im sure.

Im from the Braniel, and ive never been interviewed by the cops, I must have just got away with all the crimes ive comitted then yeah?

[philipl]

Got a feeling this one could be different from the usual gold-digging. One can easilly imagine a 19 year old's state of mind and hormones after six hours of drinking and being in a group of lads being pawed anf fawned over by Manchester's best looking and seemingly easiest talent.

Football 365 is saying that it was a group event and that the girl was happy to be called a "good ****" (use your imagination).

I guess the major consequence of this will be Fergie's wrath.

I think your right Philipl. Rumour is that the players 'selected' their favourites from the wannabe WAGS.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

A newspaper setting up the players for an 'exclusive' story....would you put it past the shysters...seems to happen all too frequently doesn't it?

Time and time again these footballers get cought out with their trousers down.......brainless pr1cks!

[speeeeeeedie]

Sorry for the cynicism but she sounds like just another groupie exploited by footballers who live in their own world. I read the tabloid snippets of the event; nothing new and nothing will come of it. Whether or not the accused did anything will be lost as the girl's credibility is in tatters. Man U players should be consulting Carlton Cole! Wait until the weekend for more mud raking.

I did find it funny that The Sun happened to mention that non of the WAGS were invited. I'll bet the wrath is coming from home, not Fergie, in this instance.

Lathund; OJ was found not guilty.

[philipl]

We don't know whether the young lady who was so pleased that her bodily functions were so appreciated by one and all is the same as the one who made the tearful phone call.

[Lathund]

Was found guilty in the civil trial though.

My point would be valid without any examples either (Hughes and Vick were guilty tho); I find it ridiculous how a lot of people automatically assume that anyone who accuses a famous person of a crime is just a gold-digger. Without hearing any details whatsoever. It's hard enough (Especially on the victim) to get a conviction when there's an actual rape, so it's not usually an accusation made lightly. To which someone will no doubt bring up the recent(ish) story of a case with false accusations, and from that draw the conclusion that they are indeed right to make the assumption that she's obviously lying. To which I can't really do much but laugh.

Anyhow, not saying he is guilty, or that she's lying, just that it's stupid to draw conclusions based on little to no information.
