Someone's having a real laugh - sperm of gollum to Utd.

This is all brilliant.  That cunt from the S*n who now works for the mancs has help him concoct this story that makes him out to be an even bigger moron.  He still gets to play and every other fan in the country is laughing at the thick twat.

Him saying he won’t say sorry is mental. Saying sorry (even if you’re not) guarantees to calm people down. He’s spectacularly thick.

Even reading red cafe it looks like Harrys clear the air interview has been a disaster. Thinking of it why do these celebs continue with these one on one redemption interviews? They all end up backfiring, Lady Dai started the craze and the outcome should have sounded a warning. 

 

Harrys interview would have gone better if hed come out in this state 

 

He should have mixed his lady dai style interview below with the pissed up George Best style interview above. At worst it would have confused onlooking Greek prosecutors.

I can believe a version of his story - I can imagine being pissed and confused in that situation, surrounded by plain clothes policemen and being worried they weren't the police. Questions certainly need to be asked about why the police felt they needed to chase down the minibus if nothing incidental happened at the bar as he claims?

Being off your massive tits on god knows what - and thinking you're starring in a Taken sequel - is not much of a defence...

If his sister was so integral to his defence, why did she fly home instead of giving evidence.

No one in the family can defend!

A non-apology would be better than nothing but he's too thick to realise. 

 

"I'm really sorry if the police thought I was causing trouble when I was only trying to defend my sister".

Yeah agreed which is why I question the wisdom behind asking for a retrial. However it does allow him to say "I'm sorry. I was worried they weren't policemen" and be given a more lenient punishment.

 

 

Edit: Having read a bit more, the account I initially read doesn't seem to be what happened. That'll teach me.

What? Why?

So you suspect your sister has just been drugged and instead of seeking medical help you wait for your minibus to turn up and take you back to your hotel...I smell bullshit.

Then you run away because you think you are being kipnapped.

Is that before or after having his legs broken by the police?

I've just listened to the interview slab head did with Dan roan. Fucking embarrassing that. There was times.towadds the end where slab head has clearly forgotten his script, roan asks a question and because he can't answer, roan answer it for him. The BBC are a very sad organisation these days. I'm not sure they should have given Maguire such a platform, but if they did, surely they're duty bound to interview him correctly?

Where's the famed BBC impartiality? Surely now they should interview the prosecutors and the police he attacked. Let them have a good cry too.

Once Maguire said the police had been hitting him on the legs and saying his football career would be finished, any decent interviewer would have asked to see the bruises, especially as he was wearing shorts.

Probably gone all retro after the savage leg beating

You don't need bruises to be battered but he was battered.

Think the Greeks have every right to be pissed off. The narrative is that they are all corrupt as fuck. This coming from a country whose police used to round up Irish and Black men into the back of the marias and kick fuck out of them right up until the 80s and whose legal system fucked over not just the families of 96 at Hillsborough, but a whole club and city. A country basically run by toffs from Eton college to this day. Britain has no right to view itself as morally superior to Greece.

“He should really stay silent, not twist the truth and come up with fantasy tales,” Paradissis told the Guardian from Syros, the neighbouring Aegean island where the court hearing was held on Tuesday. “The court convicted him on all counts and that is because there was overriding evidence. There were six witnesses who gave exactly the same account of the events that evening. I find it very sad that Maguire continues not to acknowledge that people, police officers, were the victims of violence as a result of [his] actions. Violence can never be justified but he and Manchester United seem to be doing just that.”

Ouch. It would appear the Greeks are not just going to bend over then.

Everton fans must be outraged with all this, what with them being moral guardians an all that. I expect that they will have reacted in exactly the same way as they would if it had been a Liverpool player.

Makes you wonder why they set aside his conviction when they granted the appeal.

Ah OK, that makes some sense then.  I was worried they'd found the right bloke to bribe.
