weeyin Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I know this is an crazy thought, but maybe wait for a trial (with facts and evidence and stuff) and an actual verdict, before sacking him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given he has plead not guilty, police confirmed there were no injuries and there hasn't been a trial or a verdict yet - I'd still contend that potentially life-changing injuries dished out by Gallagher and Quinn are more serious (from a criminal perspective. I'm not advocating in favour of domestic violence here!) Expand In the court of public opinion, “hitting a woman” is probably seen as worse.

twistandshout1983 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 If there is CCTV footage and it has happened then it definetly puts the club in a bit of an awkward situation whatever their thoughts. Will surely affect any chances he had of the Northern Ireland job if it turns out it is true. Until it is though which is not a definite I am sure his position wont be affected in any way and we carry on business as usual with hopefully a win on Saturday.

underboyleheating Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thank god for CCTV, hopefully that will help his case, and perhaps prove his innocence?

Expand I was told that he is being charged on the basis of the CCTV footage rather than witness statements. Obviously I've not seen it but the PF are proceeding so it's unlikely to be good for him.

The African Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Whatever way you look at it, this isn't a great look for Robinson or the club. At the moment, the club statement is really all that can be said or done. We obviously have to wait for the outcome of the trial before we can deal with any conclusions that the court reaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just assumed he was perhaps confronted/reported by a random stranger to the police, as that area of Edinburgh has always been pretty busy with tourists, taxi drivers and the like. However, if the CCTV from the area is conclusive that he assaulted his partner, then I suspect the club will be under media pressure to let him go. I’m sure it all will become clear at the trial on what they have, or haven’t got against him. Until then it’s all speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
