Reek's of payoff.

I have some sympathy with this but I'm also a little concerned by just how willing some are in their certainty of the lives of others.

There is a difference between someone being an arsehole in a dysfunctional relationship and rape.

I remember there being some weird aspects to this case and some questions, however it seems that, while this woman wasn't happy with what was going on it also looks like she didn't want to destroy his life either.

I think the question here is should the state be a moral busy body when questions exist about the situation and they aren't being backed by the partner.

It's not easy to go through a trial and the outcome and process are far from certain. So I concur with your view really that a point of agreement may have been reached, but of course could easily be wrong.

I doubt someone like Greenwood will avoid further problems down the line. Innocent in law, but that doesn't mean that people have to like or respect him from what's out there, or pretend that his conduct is normal.

Nah.

Going by the rumours, they're back together. The police willingly ignored his bail breaches (that's been proved) and let a man who was charged with coercive and controlling behaviour contact his victim, and surprisingly this ends up with the victim dropping the charges and taking him back? Of course it reeks.

Hopefully Man U will do the decent thing and sack him.....I can’t see then doing anything else after that video...Sponsors will not like it one bit... he’ll have to go abroad...good riddance,we don’t need his type here ....

That's quite impressive you should be greenwoods PR guy.

What makes this turd guilty is the fact he ran off and hid said nothing to the media and as soon as his lawyers had found loopholes he made a statement thanking his friends and family, not once protesting his innocence.

Can't see him ever playing again, in this country anyways. Would be a strange circumstance indeed if he did as I can't see it fading away. Would we see kids wearing shirts with his name on the back? As for the morality and what have you, I really couldn't give a sh!t, I'm surprised anyone really does.

We don't know the full ins and outs but whilst he hardly hid cloaked and dragged a woman into a dark alley it does look like an offence. As for her however, are we meant to believe their relationship was a genuine one up to that point including her investment in it? And that this was totally out of the blue from him? Or was she just infatuated by a footballer and the prospect of living a millionaire, celebrity lifestyle regardless of his character? If the latter, you can see some manipulation if not orchestration of the situation.

Two things can exist at once - it seems like he's a scumbag and she's a f**king div. Send them both to jail. This reeks of child-like hysterics and drama far more so than any real world circumstances that need public update or analysis.

Shame as he did seem a good footballer and a prospect all things aside. Might not be too popular to air that opinion now.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

And being proven guilty is that bit harder when you can afford the best lawyers in the land.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.
