    If thats sexual battery, Jürgen Klopp is a serial offender.
    He's constantly slapping asses.

    Yeah, but come on.....he's Jurgen Klopp he can do whatever the fúck he wants, and that's exactly how it should be!
    The same sense of entitlement that allowed that runner to believe he could slap her ass without repercussions is the same as that which killed Nadine Lott and allowed her murderer to offer a sorry when charged with her murder! :mad:

    Sweet Jesus, talk about exaggerating for effect!

    If you are a Liverpool player and your arse isn't getting slapped frequently by Klopp, you need to take a good long hard look at yourself.

    Ah, look, It all seems to have gone a bit mad.

    Salient facts are these:
    A bloke slapped a woman on the arse thinking it was funny.
    Turns out its not funny but it is a criminal offense.
    Some people dispute that it should be a criminal offense for reasons.
    Slapping arses without consent remains a crime and the bloke is being charged appropriately.
    The end

    I personally don't think he slapped her arse from watching the video. I think it as actually the middle of the back which is actually a motivating gesture.

    But, irregardless, unless we have video footage of hand on arse, I feel like we shouldn't say it was hand on arse in regards to legal matters.

    Not that suprising tbh. It's pretty much past the point of no return that all male actions are seen as interlinked somehow.

    Oh Lord. Does the fact that he admitted he slapped her arse and apologised for slapping her arse, have any bearing on your opinion? Your opinion should probably be unirregardful of the fact that he actually says he slapped her arse (by accident but that's beside the point as he said he did it).

    Of are you just messing?

    He didn't say he slapped her arse? He said he was not aware where he slaped. Can you provide a qoute as I am curious?

    If he hadn't slapped her arse, I'm sure at least one of the legions of runners both beside and behind him (who would mainly have been looking in the direction of the camera/reporters back) would have piped up by now in his defence. That hasn't happened, but don't let that get in the way of a good persecution complex.

    I still maintain a simple stance on this: you don't run up behind someone and slap them. Anywhere on their body. Just today I was walking on a busy street, and I managed not to slap a single person. It's actually quite easy.

    Yeah you're right. He said he wanted to slap her lower back but can't be sure where he slapped her. Sounds like exactly what his lawyer told him to say.

    I suppose the question becomes, why did he want to slap her lower back? And why would anyone actually believe it?

    Back slapping is pretty common tbh and i wouldn't see any problem if he had slapped her back. The lawyers has even publicly posted on her twitter saying, in very exact language imo, that they would be taking it to court for 'assault'.



    Irregardless, why are you believing her rather than believing him? Tbh, I'm more basing it on my own perception of the video and the changing of the legal language, and it is interesting how you had to search online to find out he didn't say he slapped her arse :P

    Maybe they weren't paying attention or they don't want to be dragged into the ****show that is the post metoo media.



    There's a million and one reasons somebody wouldn't come forward or not really have any evidence to the contrary, but I guess time will tell.

    Of course I had to search I like to see exactly what he said. We’re all getting our ingot from the internet.

    I’ve no doubt you believe he was just slapping her lower back. It’s your role to take the side of the bloke slapping arses -as if slapping lower backs is a perfectly normal thing to do to strangers. Lol.

    But you've dug in now so you're probably going to stick to that position "irregardless" of common sense.

    Why do you keep saying Lol? It's a little bit ridiculous tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,088 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09

    It expresses a point which I find funny. In the post above the idea that slapping strangers lower backs is a normal thing to do, is amusing because it’s just not true.

    "I was getting ready to bring my hands up to wave to the camera and to the audience and there was a misjudge in character and decision making. I touched her back. I did not know exactly where I touched her."

    He's full of bs. Plenty of people waved to the camera without touching her back or her ar$e or any part of her.

    Maybe, but I would be suprised as the punishment for perjury (if he continues with this defense) would be worse than the crime he's being accused of, and even lying on national telivision could cause issues in the court if a video surfaces with a better view. As in, why did you lie then and how can we trust you now?

    At this stage it's a safe bet to say that no video with a clearer view is going to surface. He's still bullsh!tting. He knows he fcuked up and tried to back track. His defence means nothing, as it is a contradiction and only makes him look worse.

    You can tell from the woman's reaction that she was shocked he slapped her on the ar$e. Whatever happens from here on in, I bet he will never be dumb enough to slap another person, even if he meant it in jest. What he did was incredibly stupid and uncalled for. All of this could have been avoided if he just kept his hands to himself.

    The whole point of that particular phrasing is that is would be very hard to disprove because he's making it about his intention, not the fact that he slapped her on the arse. It's just lawyer speak which is what he's paying a lawyer for.

    What I really want to know is how you've fallen for it. It takes desire to believe anything that exhonerates the bloke that slapped the wan's arse. That can't be a good position to have put yourself.

    Yeah and the opinion that slapping strangers on the lower back is a normal thing to do, is laughable.

    Is that a more complicated versoin of LOL :O



    Slapping people on the lower back can be pretty normal tbh in most cultures on the planet. It wouldn't be sexual asault or assault irregardless, and if a man did that to a man nobody would care and the man himself wouldn't care. It's like saying that Bernie Sanders was assaulted because some worker squeezed his shoulder in an interview.



    Maybe he's telling the truth, maybe he's not, but, irregardless, this hung drawn and quartering of him is absurd and more akin to a kangaroo court. Also, the reporter is showing a certain level of sadism which isn't very pleasent to see tbh.

    Slapping strangers on the lower back isn’t normal in this part if the world and I’ve never heard of slapping strangers in the lower back being normal in the US. Not sure where you’re posting from.

    Sexual assault and rape of women was out of control all over the world.

    This is a small story of a larger scale, but what makes me so happy is that women are standing up for themselves more. And that man are valuing women more.

    I have a friend teaching in Saudi Arabia and he sent me a message tellig me about all the changes that he's seen in the last few years. Let me look at the message, here is what he said:

    "Women are driving, women allowed work and attend sporting events, concerts and music played in public, segregation in restaurants just stopped, women allowed to travel alone, foreign women not required to wear abayas etc etc"

    It was disgusting and heartbreaking that they were stopped from doing all those things before isn't it? It was treating people like they are not human. I don't really understand how humans got to be like that in recent history.

    But thankfully we are finally starting to get out of that terrible phase in many countries of the world. Still not in other countries - but as the tide tirns it will effect everywhere. I definitely see women treated with more respect lately. And that is a beautiful thing

    Yes, the idea that slapping strangers on the lower back is normal, is absurd. It's just not true.

    Yes I have to say that I don't go up to strangers on the street and slap them on the back.

    I also volunteered in a place for one week. One of the men would come over and talk to me every day.
    Every time he would pat me on the back, not once but about ten times. A continual patting. He did it to all the other women too.

    Every other man there, there were twenty other men, kept their hands to themselves.

    I told him to stop it, that I didn't like it . I didn't like him touching me. And he stopped. It was just my back - but I hated it.

    You'd want to have a word with yourself then. The other you thinks Irish women are disrespected.
    What I really don't understand is why women are so disrespected in Ireland.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 181 ✭✭Sarahdunners

    Yea, I definitely see women treated with more respect in different parts of the world.

    I am not in Ireland, and I have friends in many other parts of the world, who have told me that women are being treated alot better. Which is so great.
