Yeah. I think police forces have probably learned from the Cliff Richards case.

Only a matter of time to before he is named. When I read about this it gave zero details other than greater Manchester police arresting.
Glad they're doing a bit better keeping things under wraps than usual.

Well, the web-page I looked at first when I saw the story on the red-button text last night didn't mention him by name in its reporting.

It's a shame his name was in the URL for the page though so it didn't exactly take me long to work out who it was.

And of course the Sun has been particularly shitty.

There are legal restrictions which mean he can't be named (in the UK). Everton only have two 31 year old players - Fabian Delph and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

So the Sun ran a story getting outrated about Delph being falsely named online (naming Sigurdsson by a very simple process of elimination - and they had a go at Everton saying that Delph was getting unfair abuse online because Everton hadn't named the player (which they legally can't)

Interesting they've got the word SEX next to Davina striking a pose.

The Sun is still banned in Liverpool?

[Sheilbh]

Yeah. No one buys it.

Varane to Man United confirmed. I really wonder what Real Madrid's defence is going to look like next year.

[alfred russel]

The best defense is a good offense.

Heh, running tournaments simultaneously to the Olympics. Mexico lost the semifinal today on pens.

Can't keep delaying everything. Especially for the Gold Cup and a Asia base Olympic.

They should have run it in parallel with the Euros and Copa America. That would've been kinda fun.

Is that what they think about Davina? Sex?

Hail to the champions!

It's odd to see the Men's side actually win things (Gold Cup, Nation's League) while the Women's side is losing its steam, losing in the semifinal at the Olympics.

Of course the men's junior team didn't even qualify for the Olympics  but the point is, one cycle is building up while the other is winding down.

Messi's leaving
