Re: Rubiales.

Given his senior position and the "power" that brought him to do this was wholly inappropriate.
Some posters need to recognise that he didn't simply kiss the lady concerned, but grabbed her head and forced a kiss on her.
Clearly an assault in my book.
However, if he had recognised is inappropriate conduct and apologised properly in the aftermath I would have expected it to end there.
The power trip he went on with his press conference wheeling out members of staff and players to "support" him was nothing other than despicable. Consequently he deserves to be pursued for his misconduct with the full force of the law.

He's just been arrested for fraud too. Which he denies.....of course....probably because he is a man (in his opinion).

Re: Rubiales.

It's a huge sporting moment

He was ecstatic that her team had one

There's a sexual kiss and there's a happy , joyful kiss

She walks off smiling

Now of course it's her right to say she felt uncomfortable but she didn't appear at all distressed as she walked away

I think as soon as she stated she felt uncomfortable then the apology process should have happened

And that should have been the end of the matter

He hasn't covered himself in glory but nor have the hang em , flog em mob

I hate all the woke stuff more than most, but he's a perve sludge and deserves the book thrown at him, I bet there will be loads of stories about him in the future, he's a blatant thick entitled perve to do it in front of millions.

Re: Rubiales.

This is about entitlement rather than the action. A total stranger kissed my forehead when Tanner scored against the Jacks, pure collective emotion in the spur of the moment.
He is standing handing out medals in a power situation, that was a power kiss, he was demonstrating his power/authority over her, I doubt it was intentional, maybe he sees himself as a father figure but I doubt it with the response.

If he did a hands-up "Jesus Christ I am sorry, it was never my intention", it would have blown over. The response tells me his entitlement told him and his group that he was right. He was entitled to do what he liked, where he liked, with whoever he liked.
Whether that is a "crime" is up to the judge, but he demonstrated he shouldn't be a leader of any organization unless its the Garrick club

The Garrick fees will be dropping fast now for men now that women have demanded access. Rumour has it that Buck’s Club on Mayfair is now jacking its prices up in expectation that Garrick members will migrate there.

Women cannot force their access on mens private clubs. They will turn up and they will find an artist, musician or mad thespian who stay there out of sentimentality, but the Royals, Sirs, Hedgies, CEOs and high ranking military members will just leave and join Bucks instead.

Funny thing is all the women will be charged the high fees to cover the fees paid by the power brokers that have long since gone 😂 You can tell these women never played chess - they aren’t even thinking two steps ahead (the second round reaction to their action). They can chase them out of Buck’s too, but in the end they will just go to a private residence like Waddeson Manor or a big pad of some landed gentry dude or a yacht offshore. You cannot force a law to make women attend a privately owned residence. They may as well give up.

If you can get into bother for what he did, live on tv, there must be hundreds of pop stars/actors feeling a bit twitchy over past endeavours. Liam Gallagher for one, he pinched my wife’s ass post gig party backstage around 1998, she’s not happy, feels violated, hasn’t been able to go out in public since or slept through the night. Not to be little those that clearly took the piss back then but ffs!
Bet mick and Keith are so happy they existed when they did hey…..
