**** The official AND ONLY 'Albion players arrested' thread ****

[Marc1901]

The Argus shouldn't be putting their names up like that.

 

[Notters]

Do they give you a chance not to be arrested? and just go in and 'help them with their enquiries'? or is there a good reason, either for them or perhaps for you, for them to arrest you instead?

That's what I was wondering. Surely there's no need to arrest someone if they'll happily come along anyway?

 

[Mellotron]

For any thickets still on the other side of the fence - YES, LEGALLY THEY DID NOTHING WRONG. We get that, you boring f***ing PEDANTS.

The manner in which they did it was absolutely disgusting. This will follow *NOTALLOWEDTONAME* around for the rest of their career now.

... and would never have happened when Phil Mills was Chief Crime Reporter for the Argus.

A sound fellow indeed

This summarises it very well for me. Legally fine, morally in the way they did completely disgusting. Won't be buying the Argus again until the editor changes.

Disgraceful front page from the Argus, absolutely shameful, talk about biting the hand that feeds you! If you read the legal statement on this site earlier, I think Tommy will have a good case for defamation or similar. Irrespective of Tommy`s exoneration, the nature of the headline was gutter press and totally undeserved and unnecessary. A permanent boycott from the club and the fans, of the Argus should be instigated forthwith. Accused equals charged, doesnt it? Hope they come to regret it.

 

[Kazenga <3]

Careful: I made exactly the same point earlier & was told it could be classed as speculation.

Didn't see that but have now received an infraction for my troubles.

Lesson begrudgingly learned

. Accused equals charged, doesnt it? .

No, it doesn't.

 

[countrygull]

In the particular case I'm thinking of (which ultimately resulted in no charges being brought) one co-operative witness identified a number of other potential witnesses (who could corroborate the facts of the alleged case, with a view to establishing that no case existed). ALL of the names put forward by the first witness resulted in arrests.

This sounds like those other `uncooperative` witnesses may have been suspected of either obstructing police inquiries or attempting to pervert the course of justice: a reason for arrest.....
I don't know and we could argue about it til we're blue in the face because I don't know the facts of your case. Safe to say that an arrest of somebody who is no more than a witness is extremely rare in my experience

what did you say

 

[Mellotron]

Temper temper

Great response. Well done.

Sorry, if I'm honest I'm slightly annoyed that one of our player's reputations will be forever tarnished now for no good reason whatsoever. I think that's fairly reasonable.

[Lord Bracknell]

Not so. The witnesses wanted to be co-operative.

I don't know and we could argue about it til we're blue in the face because I don't know the facts of your case.

I agree. And I'm not going to go into details.

All I will say is that the case did make the front page of the Argus, but without ever mentioning the names of any of the people who had been arrested. Hence my earlier observations about Phil Mills - who knew exactly what was going on, without feeling the need to sensationalise his coverage.

And I'll repeat the point that, even though enquiries went on for months, no-one was ever charged with anything.

You're on an almighty fishing trip today arnt you.

 

[Woodchip]

Not so.

Would this be the case I think it is? Happened about 8.25 years ago?

Sent from my phone cause I can

I dont think it will be as so quickly nipped in bud and will be an awful lot of sympathy out there for Tommy.

Far more damage to his reputation done by what Charlie found in his bedroom on the Albion Come Dine With Me!

No.
No.
And no - although it wasn't me, it was people I knew.
