I appreciate that most have prefaced their remarks but I couldn't help noticing the word "alleged" was becoming a little less obvious.

And based on previous form it wouldn't be entirely surprising if true.

It just makes me uncomfortable when punishments are being demanded before the "csse" has been tried.

Guilty as charged :oops: I did get somewhat carried away demanding we remove their lungs :eek::eek::eek:

As with all conspiracy theory’s, Ave done a bit of digging with a few pals. Some are sceptical of the story. Some are saying the story was started by Everton fans who were narked at the City game being postponed.
Come what May it will be what it will be ?

When I 1st read it, my thoughts were a typical bitter bluenose Delta taxi driver rumour.

I hope its true for obvious reasons?

And if only a little research is done into the source of the Kyle Walker story the credibility of the so called journalist becomes questionable.

Truly one big downside of the internet is the facility it provides to fantasists, dreamers, con artists and conspiracy theorists to post all sorts of rubbish and for some members of the public to spread this rubbish via social media.

Correct.
It wasn't that long ago that it was suggested, on this very forum, that Mason Greenwood had recently committed rape, yet I've not heard any more about it.
Social media ................................. stick it!
 
Social Media has its place and can be great. Sadly some people seem to spend an inordinate amount of time trawling google/social media/internet for stories that suit their own narrative and then, when they find one, share it with gay abandonment but spend no extra time checking the source.

Have a read back and see what people actually said about the whole incident - this is a form of social media and people will discuss rumours and , no one accused anyone , before people used to talk about in pubs etc or in papers etc etc

As they said - today’s news is tomorrow’s chip paper

Social media is a powerful tool and on the whole is used very well - there will always be the negative as there is with anuthing

Only way to avoid it is to not take part in social media

Post #4432.

By that stage you had dropped any use of the word alleged and clearly referred to Walker being guilty.

All this could be avoided, not by avoiding social media but, by some being a little less keen to believe rubbish produced too easily by bloggers (I would never refer to this guy as a journalist).

I didn’t clearly refer to anything , it’s people discussing a potential issue that was being talked about on social media , it’s up to you or indeed anyone if they chose to believe there is any substance behind it.

It was/is rumours posted on many outlets and a discussion point in regards someone who four times already had broken Covid restrictions.

It’s not about “guilty” - it’s just discussions - police , courts etc , they determine guilt , we just give opinions based on what we witness , read or watch

People will always discuss various rumours from infidelity, law breaking , sexuality , transfers , injuries - that’s life and it’s been going on for decades - up to you what you want to believe , doesn’t mean people can’t talk about it. People can have a chat about the Lancaster on the moon if they so wish.

Or alternatively you could grow up and stop acting like some 14 year old shut in his bedroom

Yes because that’s exactly what I was doing when we were discussing the potential actions of a footballer who has been know to commit a number of stupid acts throughout the lockdown. Feel free to ignore any further posts if you unable to respond politely.
 
Phil - maybe in future before you post links to news stories you should spend a bit of time researching the source and/or just sit tight for a while and judge its accuracy. You cannot post things on this forum and others without being a part of the problem of spreading fake news.

Mud sticks. Next time Kyle Walker is alleged to have transgressed many will recall this (let's now assume) fake news story and refer to his previous indiscretions.
