Breaking news: Robinho arrested following alleged sexual assault - MCFC

robinho1

The BBC understands that Robinho has been questioned in connection with an alleged sexual assault in a Leeds nightclub and is understood to have been released on bail.

This is all Manchester City needs right now. Just as we were getting back to the football. Hopefully somoene trying to make a fast buck and nothing with substance. Who knows if this is related to his sudden departure to Brazil.

Apparently the alleged rape happend 2 weeks ago in a club called Space in Leeds, Elano, Jo and Robinho were all there. It has been under investigation since about the 11th January.
Jo's name has been mentioned in some areas as the perpitrator. ??

I hope to f*** this is cruel trick played by bitter rivals who are scared that we as a club are about to crash their little cartel.

But why would he go back home? And it makes me wonder if the club used the press about him going AWOL to take the heat off him.

Early days yet i hope it's bullshit made up by a wag wanabee.

I am afraid it is seriously bad and far worse than has appeared on this web site or any of the papers. There is a fourth person involved but not a City player.

Journalists have been sitting on this from the day Robinho bunked off to Brazil and I doubt that has helped his cause with the authorities at all.

It would be dangerous assume that the victim is a gold digger. This is far more likely to go to Court than the United Christmas Party.

Has anyone been to Space? I have. I've had cheaper nights New York. The bottled waters £4 the cheapest soft drink is £4.50 and they charge nearly £8 for what masquerades as beer, it is the most expensive place to drink in Leeds, it cheaper to get blitzed in Roberts. My question is how does a first year student end up in a place thats only purpose is to be so expensive as to price the normal working person out of the place. philipl considering he had already agreed to attend several weeks ago, considering he was allowed to go back to Brazil, considering that even after a rape examination, no request for DNA, or physical inspection have been requested (the first two things that happen in a assault case), I would suggest these allegations are just that, and that if he was Roberto the waiter from Brazil, rather than Robinho, then we wouldn't blink, he's a name and was asked to provide a statement, no warrant has been issued for his arrest, so what next, more internet fantasy gossip?

It's not very nice. Let's hope this will clear and not distract the rest of the team from tonight's win.

Well said Theking.
I hope you are right.
Can't wait until we are no longer "the flavour of the month" with the daily rags.
We need to get back to the football.

Theking. Let's hope for these lads' sake you are right.

Some students have rich mummies and daddies so your first three lines fall flat on their face. That might be part of the problem the players face: expensive lawyers v expensive lawyers.

All speculation at present although I am intrigued as to how some readers seem to claim more knowledge of the situation than has been reported/ philipl, Mike Young, can you expand on this? Also why is it that the newspapers were sat on this? Why did it not break? something to do with legal reasons?

Don't know about you guys but I'm getting rather bored with football at present. It seems that the game has taken a back seat to all the rubbish off field and in the news - be nice if we had some decent footie and some decent reporting on the footie starting with Newcastle.
While I realise we have money and are now everyone's favourite whipping boy - it just goes on and on - wonder who writes the stuff - a little man in a dark office? - I dunno, maybe it's the price we pay for having that money.
Be nice to see a complete performance against the likes of Newcastle

agree with the post above.

the pricer the player, the more interest the media will have on life off the pitch. sadly, as much media can put you in the limelight of fame, it can also set you up to fall.

just heard latest arrest news. think pressures on city to do a good performance for R's value. go city
