Premier League footballer arrested on suspicion of child sex offences

[The Bloop]

"The 31-year-old man,who has not been named for legal reasons, was detained on Friday by Greater Manchester Police."

Just a reminder for anyone wanting to share the name: don't.

I thought legal reasons also meant releasing any information from which his identity could be derived.
Whomever it is, he's not Gylfi until proven otherwise.

No. The law stops the name from being reported as he hasn't been charged, but they are free to use other details to describe who it is.

Like how the mail said a 31 year old married Everton player who regularly plays for his international team was arrested by North Manchester police. I don't know why you or the other guy is trying to pretend otherwise, there's no legal ramifications for any of us by saying it's quite obviously Gylfi that's been arrested. No-one is saying he's guilty.
