Quote: ratticusfinch "Do grown adults always go for pitchforks? In this day and age anyone could fabricate any horrific allegation against you online and you'd be powerless until the truth came out. People should bear that in mind. IF this is true (i have no idea) then yes he will be sacked and hopefully face a custodial sentence until then...just behave and have a word with yourself.
And rugby one-upmanship after an alleged domestic violence issue...classy.'"
In this day and age it's easy to ruins someone career, marriage, public life and friendships with an accusation, to be honest it's to easy.
I don't know what he is accused of, because I am not on facebook and although I am on twitter I have not seen anything about it, only seen what is on here and the "Official Statement" and I am not about to go looking for what he accused of doing because frankly it's not for me to judge him because I do not have all the fact's, and without fact's you cannot judge something.
I have seen it a few times where people are accused of something and they are judged by people to be guilty, loosing friends and jobs only to be proven innocent of what they are accused of but they always have it hanging over there head because people just won't give it up.
Unfortunately in this instance, it's already affected his career and his reputation with the fans without the fact's being presented which is why I won't judge him, and it may be warranted that it's affected it but it also may not be warranted, unless someone who was actually there speaks to the media, which I suspect they won't be allowed to if it's a serious incident then all people have to go off is rumours, rumours which like chinese whispers could have vital information missing.
If proven innocent it's still going to affect his career etc because people will believe it's a cover up and never let it go, but others will forget and move on.
If proven guilty though, I would hope if it's serious enough to warrant a stint behind bars that he receives a sentence befitting of the crime and not given special treatment because of "Celebrity Status" and if it's not befitting of a stint behind bars but deserves sacking or a suspension then he should get what it deserves.
This is the problem with social media, something happens and it spreads like wildfire before anything is known and in this instance brings bad press to the sport and the club.
