Harry Maguire arrested...

In moderation it has no major impact on athletes - especially if it’s the off-season and the body has time to ‘repair’ which it’s designed to do. It’s a far cry from Robin Friday or George Best partying late with strippers and then getting up the next day to play a match.

Most serious athletes (in sports other than footie) seem to avoid alcohol during their competition season.

Damage to his system would not be "enormous" consider nearly every football player gets boozy in the off-season.

That very much depends on their background and culture.

With you on this one, I don't grudge him a night with his mates and an occasional foray is surely not going to dent his personal fitness long term or otherwise.

I think given the background and culture of most footballers plus the fact most are obviously in an 18-35 young age bracket, they are going to go out and party especially pre-season or whenever there is a window of opportunity, personally I don't see a problem with that if they then take responsibility for their own actions or more importantly put safeguards in place (hiring personal security or a private room?)
In this case it was clearly not done and added to this Harry boy sadly does not appear to be the sharpest tool in the box, he also seems to have dug an even deeper hole for himself with his post incident actions (allegedly)

However Harry being a Man U. player I'm not going to lose sleep over this one just thought I'd throw my tuppence worth in.

Exactly what went through my mind, nothing about being ragged up about his sister, and maybe he over stepped the line, however, was responding to an emotional situation... He pulls this poor little me act, man alive its pathetic

If I dare make the comment, the majority of players who do daft things, particularly booze related, seem to-be white English.

Maguire gives a different story every day. Sister stabbed, Albanians, Date rape drug, Police beating him up, I expect we will hear about aliens from Mars next.....

Or maybe you're only looking at English newspapers where it's more prominent?

What Niel Ashton (ex Sunday Supplement now Man U PR) has achieved here is utterly incredible.

He has managed to spin a Drunk Harry maguire, ignoring Covid / social distancing in a bar before finding himself in a scrap with police, getting nicked and then getting found guilty in a court of law, into a miscarriage of justice, kidnapping, stabbing and god knows what else.

They now have the entire media batting for Captain Harry as if he is some sort of modern day POW. Aston has pulled an absolute blinder

Typical right-wing supporting media. Hate anything foreign, especially law enforcement when it involves drunken brits.

A) I don’t believe no prem footie player has ever not said Do you know who I am?
B) I bet Mr Spit said it all the time. I would put money on it.

An as yet undiscovered amoeba that had never encountered humanity could tell he was lying in that interview.

“I can’t hold my booze, I messed up, here’s a sizeable donation to the Cypriot police charity and I’m very sorry” would probably suffice.

Sometimes even a footballers family members have used their associations to attain glory, renown or beneficial treatment. No examples needed.

Imagine having the lack of self awareness to publicly try and defend Maguire when you literally spat in a child’s face. Carragher is utterly brainless.
