News Lewis Taylor charged over crime spree (and stealing a seatbelt buckle)

TIL what TIL stood for.

You're downplaying Martin's efforts - threat? Or assault?

Not downplaying threat/assault, am downplaying the actual outcome (assuming there are no negative personal outcomes for the lady), more don't think it's something worth making jokes over to make yourself feel better about one of your own players breaking the law

That's a big ****ing assumption!

The brain doesn't give a shit, trauma is trauma, no matter how much other people try to minimise it.

Neither of us have the facts or intimate knowledge to know. It's that line of thinking that would have Majak Daw in jail right now.

Regardless of the intimate details of the case it's pretty egregious to assume that getting assaulted won't result in any trauma.

In fact I'd suggest you downplaying the effects of a drunken footballer threatening to nursery somebody is probably correlated with the club you support, but hey...

Maybe, lets make up by going and breaking some cars

My bad assumed you were trying to have a mature conversation.

Lewis Taylor had his day in court, so will Martin.

Conversation wasn't going anywhere and is off topic, figured it was easier to just end it

He will, and he should be afforded his right to due process and judged on the outcome when all the facts are known, not before then

 

[Tairy Greene]

Firstly, are you searching Martin's name on this forum? Secondly, stop trying to take some bizarre moral high ground on the issue of broken car windows by using a case of a player threatening to kill a woman.

Taylor commits "criminal damage". Martin makes a "threat". That's literally downplaying it - you're making Taylor's seem as bad as possible while minimising Martin's effort.

If you're using legal terms, make it "criminal damage" and "assault" to make it consistent, or if you're not then "smashing some car windows" and "threats". But mix and matching to suit your guy is just being disingenuous.

Back to the main point, ever think you might be overreacting to a tongue in cheek post on a random team board?

DO what I say, not what I do? I wish the pair of you would just bu$$er off.

I'm not, there's no moral high ground which is more my point

Anyway nothing more from me xoxo

Bulldogs back in favour?

 

[Ray Button]

It's all a bit embarrassing really - Taylor gets into trouble for damaging a few old wrecks (and makes reparation). Other clubs have players up on drunken brawling, drunken threats of violence, driving under the influence, damn-fool drug habits and rape charges.

Where's Fev when you need him? Or Lawrence or Pikey?

Not to mention those old public brawlers, Voss and Black . . .

 

[MacMum]

Talking about Fev, he was on Harfords show the other day.........what a difference, seems to have finally changed his ways and matured......and I was so impressed with his take on the Martin incident.

He was very very good.
