Marvin Ekpiteta assault

[CreamofSumYungGai]

When was this attack?

Just after the funeral scene.

[Chief crazy horse]

I reckon this is sh*t.

If it had been one of our other players, not mentioning any names, I could have believed it. But not Marv.

I reckon someone was a bit too trappy and fronted up the wrong bloke and come unstuck.

Yeah, that'll do I suppose.

[CreamofSumYungGai]

Seriously though, imagine trapping off to a 6 foot 4 professional athlete in his absolute prime. What a mup.

[OyinbO]

It's a retrial - the first one was a hung jury. Offence was before he joined Orient.

You're welcome.

[Thor]

You're welcome.

So it's not an open and shut case if it was a hung dury, yet some on here jump to conclusions without being in possession of the full facts and find him guilty. Amazing.

That would make the Mirrors account false then, given Infinity Wars wasn't released until April 2018.

This. Most people don’t put someone in a headlock without some kind of provocation. Sounds like the other bloke ran his mouth one too many times and is now crying about it. Grass gets mown

[Long slender neck]

Any evidence he grassed him?

[CreamofSumYungGai]

Grown adult getting taken to the pictures to see the latest Marvel film by his mum is all sorts of wrong anyway.

But how can you tell how tall somebody is when their sitting down in a darkened cinema.

[PotatOhead]

Who cares, how about we back our player until all the facts are clear. Even if he is guilty it's his business whether it's right or wrong, I'll judge him on his football.

[Long slender neck]

Well its obviously wrong to punch someone and dislocate their shoulder for asking you to keep the noise down.

Yes, I agree.

Would you feel the same if his victim was someone you knew?

It's an interminable franchise. Perhaps they got it mixed up. Though it is possible my source could have that bit wrong.

It doesn't take too much these days for some young people to lose their rag.

Where's VAR when you need it

What's "all sorts of wrong" about going to the pictures with your mum?

Bang goes the old fashioned idea that your kids will be around to help get your shopping, give a helping hand when needed and in general be around for you when you get older.

You seem to think Marvin is guilty?

What is it about him that leads you to believe that?

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

If he is found guilty lock him up and end his contract at Orient. No thugs allowed. If he is not guilty leave the guy alone to get on with his career.

[CreamofSumYungGai]

Lock someone up for a headlock?

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

Lock someone up for a headlock?

I’m happy for the law to decide if someone is guilty of assault. If the crime is proven to be a simple altercation then he won’t get prison, just community service or a caution, or nothing at all.

Life goes on.

However if he gets a prison sentence, even suspended, it will be for more than a headlock and as far as I’m concerned he can feck off.

But let’s hope he is not guilty of any assault and comes away without a stain on his character and continues his promising career. My preferred option by a big margin.

Jeez, I’ve been to the cinema and theatre and sporting events with my kids and grand kids. Always thought it to be a healthy part of family life. So I’m wrong in taking my young grandson to football or to the cinema during school holidays. Really.
