Do you believe the "Headlock" allegation?

[Harryflashman]

Fair points as always from you, you fine poster and decent human.

Some of the rest of you really need to go for a walk round the block and get fresh air. It’s a game, lads.

It is cold mind

They're going to bury their heads aren't they? Job done for them.

Well why brief it happened to the media then if they didn’t think it warranted being reported?

As I said mate the truth in most things is often somewhere in the middle. My point was I believe something did happen but it wasnt a big enough incident to warrant getting the plod involved but the board have then used it to worm away from turning up to the match. Thats still wrong by the board but it doesn't mean its 100% lies.

Same way you could fall down the stairs and bruise your arm but use it as an excuse to take a week off work - you dont need to take a week of work but it doesn't mean that you didn't fall down the stairs/that you lied about it happening.

Hope most of them fall on the ice and no one sees it so therefore won’t believe it.

Don’t believe it happened personally. Main reasons is if it did happen, should have been reported to police. It then should of had a club statement saying it happened that day condemning it, as we all would, but also the fans need to know if a female was attacked so other females can be more aware. Also if that did happen regardless of what you think of Denise the moment that happened that person would have been jumped on by other fans or stewards. Then we would have multiple witnesses coming forward and likely videos showing it. Lastly they decide to tell everyone 12 days later few hours before our biggest game of the season. And for people who do believe which is there right, if it really did happen the club have made even more of mess dealing with it.

I just hope and pray a board member doesn’t slip as it’ll be written up like when they caught gaddafi , although it might be worth it to see how the headline links it to the fanbase and also just to see how the allegation can be supported by some lid shouting “LAAAD”

Evertonians spread ice on the floor deliberately to trip them up. No one can prove that didn’t happen so you have to believe me.

11 days ago is the new historic now according to the Gas Lighting Foundation. Nothing to do with it being unexplainable because they made it up to demonize their own supporters and portray themselves as victims while destroying a peaceful protest against them of course.

Forget about getting beat by the bottom of the league 3 days ago. It is historic and doesn't require any further explanation or analysis.

No difference at all. That is where we are at.

But in this context mate they can’t just be throwing things out there like that. The timing and wording of it suggests it was calculated and they knew what they were doing.

Why bother saying it at all if it wasn’t worth reporting?

 

[roy vernon]

You're speculating mate - I'm not saying you aint right what im saying is no one knows the truth other than the board.

We have a thread full of pseudo detectives and lawyers who are making fools of themselves quite frankly.

We're all speculating, but, when something extremely dubious emanates from an organisation who's chairman has been caught out in lie after lie for 20 years, it is an educated piece of speculation.

As our American posters may say, you do the math.

In the latest BBC update on the situation the word “ headlock” does not appear. The claim now is that the CEO was “manhandled”.
Of course “manhandled” is a quite non specific term and could, for example, mean that manhandling took place by security as she was moved quickly away from protesting fans.
Anyhow, the BBC seems to have dialled down on the headlock allegations which had been repeated, without a shred of evidence, on MOTD.

Probably and uninvited arm around the shoulders, not nice, but not a headlock!

Think Richard Buxton is the only journo I've seen on our side so far.
