NEWS Milford Discussion Thread

[tommy]

It seems that depends mate....at least with some people around here.

Someone they "like"....most certainly.

Someone they don;t like....ie Milford. Nahh....he asked for it....he's guilty....he's still a ****.

Yeah nah I haven’t said he’s guilty so that’s plain horseshit. My criticism is of people waving the innocent flag based off of one line in of all publications, the cm.

 

[tommy]

This is so dumb. Just incredibly dumb.

Sound a bit like a 14yr old girl there matey.

 

[Kimlo]

Not innocent based on that.

Innocent because he's not guilty until it's proven in a court of law, it's as simple as that. I've never made a joke about the Milford situation, or bagged him out for anything other than being a shit player. I'd never rag on someone about a criminal offence unless it's proven, there's a lot of grey area which I'm not privy to, to be able to make any kind of judgement.

The only thing Milford's guilty of, is thieving a wage from the club.

Trying to use someone's insult on them and failing hard. That is so dumb. Just incredibly dumb.

you were the first to use it were you?

 

[BooKhaki]

He is currently innocent.

 

[BooKhaki]

Yes. I'll fax you the copyright info.

 

[tommy]

He is currently innocent.

*awaiting trial.

if our whole legal system is based on innocent until proven guilty then why are people remanded in custody sometimes? Mic drop.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Doesn’t tend to happen to people simply meandering along and minding their own business. Something happened that night that drew the attention of the police……if only there was some available footage so we could know for sure.(rolls eyes)

Well yeah...of course something happened.

Allegedly Milford threw a rubbish bin at a car.....after being allegedly beaten up by two women.

Quickly arrest him...... and put him in prison Tommy.....?

 

[Midean]

If Milford is innocent, and there is evidence to back that up, he should be entitled to compensation for losing the Souths contract yes?
This was my point earlier, why would that cctv footage have been withheld until now?
Also does the cctv catch the entire incident?
As Kimlo said, there is a lot of grey area here which we are obviously not privy to.

This whole fiasco has not only cost Milford his Souths deal, but tarnished his name and also possibly affected how much he can earn because of the association with violence towards women etc.

Also, if the cctv footage is true and clears Milford, what kind of punishment would those girls cop for all this? Not just the assault, but the loss of wages and the reputational damage?

edit: As an afterthought, why didn't Milford deny any of the accusations? Usually if someone has serious shit pointed at them, and they didn't do it, they come out swinging defending themselves.

i Don’t know the correct course of action because as I said we arent privileged enough to view the footage. I would never throw someone in prison based on allegations.

The reality is, simply being drunk in public might've been enough grounds for Souths to cancel his contract, it's not at all an implication of innocence or guilt of his criminal charges, and in civil law, it's balance of probability, not proof beyond reasonable doubt so the evidential burden is nowhere near as high.

So to answer your last question, probably nothing. If Souths had valid reasons under employment law to cancel his contract, the result of his criminal trial counts for nothing.

He can be innocent criminally, but have violated his employment contract.

@Huge I know you’re a big Milford fan too. Make sure you weigh in with your thoughts when you read this thread mate!

Pretty good question, I believe it's something to do with ensuring court attendance, but still presumed innocent. I never said the system is perfect, just stated Milford is currently innocent. Which he is.

[tommy]

Haha I doubt he will be supporting my viewpoint. I really just want to see his thoughts on the female on male assault allegations.

and whether you agree with him or not he always makes some well thought out points imo.

 

[McHunt]

If he was getting hurled with punches and just walked away and threw a bin in anger, he's a saint, not a sinner.

Especially if they were trying to burgle his fries.

It's pretty simple to me. Milford's recent legal and contract situations are a mystery to most without sufficient details to form any reasonable view other than a general observation.

I don't know what happened so until something concrete happens or is admitted...
