Yeah, that'll do I suppose.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:18 pm 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.

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

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
It's a retrial - the first one was a hung jury. Offence was before he joined Orient.
You're welcome.

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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 mownCreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:18 pm I reckon this is sh*t.

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

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.

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

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
It's an interminable franchise. Perhaps they got it mixed up. Though it is possible my source could have that bit wrong.Mr. Peanutbutter wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:44 pmThat would make the Mirrors account false then, given Infinity Wars wasn't released until April 2018.

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.claptonCasual wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 8:01 pmWhat's "all sorts of wrong" about going to the pictures with your mum?CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 5:17 pm Grown adult getting taken to the pictures to see the latest Marvel film by his mum is all sorts of wrong anyway.

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

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.

Re: Marvin Ekpiteta assault
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.
