Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[Phillyroo]

THIS.

Again.... There has been no vitriol.
If anything I am impressed at the maturity and fairness of this board. The only vitriol is coming from those creating it by over-reacting to people's opinions.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Can we please stop with the vitriol at the woman involved? If she was r*ped, she has every right to report it and expect the perpetrator to be charged and prosecuted.

Absolutely.

Im not even going to look at main board stuff on this. It will be a mix of racism, sexism etc.

Anyone who presents scenarios about her having buyer's remorse or says she's lying, or anyone assuming he's a rapist should just keep their mouths shut and fingers off the keyboard.

On this thread, yes, so far so good. On a previous thread discussing the same case, not so much.

The thing is that posters are going to comment one way or another. As such we should encourage clear and well thought out posts that cast light on the issues surrounding the case without drawing conclusions. So far this has occurred but one or two posts could have been executed better although the intent has been clear.

Yeah the North board is very fair and avoids parochialism on matters like this.

The main board on the other hand.

Feel for both parties involved

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I don't want to say anything other than what I posted when Majak was interviewed.

Except now it's come to charges, I just feel sadness.

Look, its unfortunate for the guy (and girl I might add) but we need to be tough on this, time to let Daw go at seasons end is my first thought, regardless of outcome.

Wrong.

We need to support him through it, IF found to be guilty then yes we'll have to get rid of him.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Is it possible to let you go instead??

Someone give this bloke a spell, please.

I disagree, the stigma will remain, and its not like he's in our best 22, no reason to hold on.....in business, sometimes you gotta cut your losses

If he is found not guilty, then he stays. Simple.

Thankfully you're not the one making these decisions at the club.

For the record I'm not just basing this on the charges, I'm referring to what he brings to North as a player, which at this point is very little.

Then save it for another thread, this thread is for Majak alleged rape case.

 

[Marksup]

Isn't it ironic that so many people on social media are saying racist comments about Majak.

I'm not suggesting there's any remote comparison between rape and racism, but for people to accuse Majak of rape, while in the process making a racist comment is pathetic and they should be charged all the same.

Nothing makes racism OK.

Which has ramifications, it is relevant.

Then why post that in this thread? This is not a thread to make judgements in.

 

[Nevbuster]

I'm just sad at this. We all wanted Maj to be a success not just for NMFC, but for the Sudanese community and Maj. Given his on-field inconsistency and now this, it's getting harder to see a positive outcome from here. Law is black and white, but these types of offenses are shades of grey. People with good character stay out of that grey area.

 

[Chadwiko]

FFS people need to pull their respective heads out of their respective backsides!

If you want to discuss Majak's footballing ability, we have probably several hundred other threads you can do that in. This is the thread for discussing the charges laid against Majak this morning.

Any further off-topic posts will be deleted.

People with good character can still get falsely accused too.

That is not the case here, he has been charged, which means there is sufficient evidence to prosecute.

 

[hcd199]

Seems foolhardy to make any presumptions about Daw's actions, or the girl's motivations in raising the matter now, without knowing all of the facts, which it seems fairly clear that we don't. Important to respect the legal process, and to act as is appropriate when the verdict is delivered: until then, we've little more than baseless speculation arising from what limited facts we have.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

There are no winners in this at the moment, and there will be no winners when it is all done and dusted.
