Any chance of a link can't find it on Google.

Wow. I don't want to comment specifically but this could be the biggest news story in the history of the country.

bodhrandude

I can see this getting locked, developing story normally means a live case, which always brings legal problems eg innocent until proven guilty argument, defamation.

Arghus

This will be zapped fairly quick.

Its still out there though

Calling bull****. Unless it's FAI, what would a 'major' soccer star bread abroad be doing on a night out in Dublin midseason midweek?

Plus - it's the s*n

I don't know what search words you are using. I can only find articles that say nothing about the sport...

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

to people saying it's all over twitter, are you sure it's not just a few people speculating? there's not really a critical mass of tweets

Arghus

Dave its pretty easy to find out the name... I am in my late 50s and can use a computer to search properly... not a troll... perhaps I am able to find the proper words and HIGHLIGHT them in search to find the name of the supposed person... sheeezzzzzz

This is beginning to feel bogus.

It was interesting for a while.

Could be taken to the ground before getting a chance to unleash that hammer.

Remember, it's an allegation at the moment. Whoever it's against, they have the right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Once the name comes out a lot of you will see them as guilty until proven innocent and even then will still treat them with suspicion for the rest of their lives even if they've done nothing.

Please don't be Rugby. I can't take anymore

If they named the sport they would be virtually naming the man.

hurling? football? soccer? rugby? can't think of one player above all others, cant think of many 'stars' of any other sports, olympic walking maybe?, golf? rowing?

If what I've seen on Twitter amounts to "allegations" that anyone is taking remotely seriously, then I honestly don't know if the internet is considered a useful resource any longer.

All I've seen is the man's name being dropped into little more than gossip and mudslinging.

And I don't even particularly like the guy, in fact I think he's a bit of a bell end.

But FFS spreading idle gossip that someone did what's being reported in the link is a disgusting low.

I dunno what that is tbh.

Dodgy allegations being made above!

If you take twitter speculation seriously you want to take a long hard look at yourself. Fake news taking hold of minds is actually a real phenomenon it seems.

One paper notes the man and woman knew each other.
Will be interesting to see if an arrest is made in the next day or so.

How can there be legitimate, unbiased trials anymore with the way social media goes on?

in fact, you could commit a crime, then set up a load of fake social media accounts accusing yourself of the crime left right and centre and make it so you couldn't possibly be tried fairly for the crime....

Can't stand the guy but amazed at what a few anonymous baseless tweets can do to public perception.

Mr. CooL ICE

Mod: Have deleted a fair few posts naming or alluding to an individual. And I'm gonna make a judgement call and say this thread is too much of a legal minefield to keep open.

I hope those of you who had a laugh in this thread realise what effect you can have on any case that goes before the courts. Dunno about you guys, but I'd like to see somebody proven guilty in a court of law to be prosecuted and sent to jail rather than being let off due to prejudice as a result of a few thankswhores on an internet forum. Not to mention somebody who is innocent being prejudiced.
