The footballer gets arrested thread

[bobby1413]

I am not of fan people's lives being completely ruined by a few regretful words though.

Damn right. It's actually quite harsh in that a single 140 character tweet can completely ruin a career and also cause a hundreds/thousands of hateful messages and in some cases national media.

The cases I refer to are those of a stupid or ill thought out tweet, rather than deliberately meant to cause upset.

[From Despair To Where?]

Awful stuff, but he is getting it MASSIVELY on Twitter in reply to his apology.

Unsurprisingly he's now deleted his twitter account.

Refreshingly scary and sobering just how much damage a few words online can do to your life.

There's countless examples. The darts player, this footballer, Andre Reid (is that his name - the Burnley player?), list goes on.

It was an idiotic thing to say and he's been punished rightly.

I am not of fan people's lives being completely ruined by a few regretful words though. He's young and (apparently) is autistic.

His apology seems to be pretty sincere and heartfelt and he has taken responsibility for his actions rather than use his autism or ADHD as an excuse. That does make me think it was genuinely something said in the spur of the moment.

However, what an utterly brainless way of blighting your name and career.

guess that we have all said something offensive and totally needless online sometime

thankfully, we are not newsworthy enough to threaten our careers.

There is some bird on twitter apparently posting up a bunch of texts and pictures he has sent her along with giving out his mobile number.

More a "footballer gets released" thing, but.

Bruno getting signed by Boa Esporte (Serie B in Brazil) has disgusted me.

Boa Esporte, a Brazilian second division team, have signed goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes de Souza following his release from prison for the murder of his girlfriend and the subsequent feeding of her body to his dogs.

Bruno was released from jail last month having served seven years of what was initially a 22-year sentence for assault, torture and murder. The 32-year-old has since agreed a two-year contract with his new club.

The decision to recruit the convicted murderer has been met with anger in Brazil. The family of the victim, Eliza Samudio, and groups protesting violence against women are said to have expressed their outrage.

In addition, five sponsors of Boa Esporte —main sponsor, Góis e Silva, a large sponsor Kaixa and a few smaller ones—CardioCenter, Nutrends Nutrition and Magsul—have ended their partnerships with the club, while the team’s official website has also been hacked.

Boa Esporte's president said in a statement the club was helping the goalkeeper’s rehabilitation by giving him a deal.

The murder itself was particularly heinous. Samudio disappeared in 2010 having sued Bruno over support for their child; the goalkeeper was said to be close to moving to AC Milan at the time and was concerned the suit could hinder a transfer.

"The court heard how he conspired with friends who tortured and strangled the model, then disposed of the body by feeding it to the footballer's Rottweilers," noted Watts. Bruno admitted he was behind the plot.

[more on that is here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -dogs.html]

Having been charged in July 2010, Bruno was eventually sentenced to the 22-year term in March 2013. He was released from his imprisonment in February having secured a habeas corpus.

Bruno was a highly rated goalkeeper before his arrest in 2010, captaining Brazilian giants Flamengo at the time of the murder.

It's always the ones you least expect...

Was there anyone these two clubs may have had in common with each other?

Both are owned/run by absolute w@nkers. I mean people are rightly sceptical about so much foreign ownership of English clubs but these are two British owners that are contemptible in almost every way.

He really is one of life's worst type of horrible little oiks.

It would be a far better world if we never again had to see or hear from that disgusting rodent ever again.

[Hoop Blah]

To be fair though, he's been stitched up a fair bit there.

But at least he admits he's a bellend. He makes a lot of extremely valid points in that statement.

If he has a gambling addiction, not sure it's very classy to laugh at him to be fair.
