Toxteth O'Grady Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50797691 Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson denies wrongdoing after charge By Scott Mullen BBC Sport Scotland 33 minutes ago From the sectionMotherwell Sharethis page Stephen Robinson is expected to be in the dugout for Rangers' visit to Fir Park on Sunday Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson has denied any wrongdoing after being arrested and charged in Edinburgh on Friday night. In a statement given to BBC Scotland, the 45-year-old has described the incident as a "misunderstanding". Police Scotland has been approached for comment. "I deny the charges against me and any wrongdoing," said Robinson, who will be in the dugout for Sunday's Scottish Premiership meeting with Rangers. "I am very upset by what has become a distressing situation for my partner, myself and our families. "We had a lovely day in Edinburgh and were trying to get home in good time before the incident occurred. "It is not possible to give a detailed account when a legal process is under way, which adds to our family anxiety. "I am confident this will be found to be a misunderstanding once the legal process has run its course." Robinson took over as Motherwell manager in March 2017, leading them to two cup finals in his second season. The Northern Irishman's side are currently fourth in the Scottish Premiership.

I've heard some crazy conspiracy theories in my time but this would take the fucking biscuit. So you are implying that either Robinson was 'arrested' as part of a conspiracy to help Rangers beat us tomorrow, or that the entire thing has been fabricated by the hacks in order to unsettle us? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 So what, exactly, has he been charged with? Seems a fairly important fact to have been left out of the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Couple of quotes from The Scotsman. Police Scotland said no-one was injured in the incident which is alleged to have happened on Friday night on Waverley Bridge. A Police Scotland statement said: “A 45-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a disturbance on Waverley Bridge in Edinburgh around 7.45pm on Friday, 13 December.

C&A not the shop Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I can see the argument that this might not have been deemed press worthy if we didn't have a game against rangers or celtic at the weekend. I'm going to wildly speculate on what's happened and say it was a minor traffic collision that lead to some heated discussion. No confirmation yet if the other party said "shut it Robbo, or I'll get my pal Ainsworth to sort you out again". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he has gone into ‘touchline mode’ and started arguing with someone forgetting where he was. The police have got involved and the rest is history. Obviously we don’t know what happened, but in In incidents with random strangers I was always told it’s best to be the bigger man and to walk away. It would appear Robinson for what ever reason hasn’t been able to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not be 'big news' as far as the media up here is concerned, but are you seriously suggesting that the manager of a top flight football club being arrested for whatever reason would have been completely passed by without mention had we been playing someone like Killie or St.Mirren this weekend??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Let's leave all the conspiracy pish to the ugly sisters, nothing to see here,so move along now, we have Rangers to beat today concentrate on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't. Any Premiership manager being charged with a criminal offence is fairly obviously news, I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A charge is just a charge and might be dismissed after the procurator fiscal reviews it. Could just as easily speculate a Hearts fan recognised him and decided to cause a bit of bother, or someone yelled at one of his kids. We have nothing but speculation at this stage.

Given there is virtually no information on what's happened or what the charges are that's quite a fuckin imagination you've got on you. I'm personally suspecting that he's punched the president of Barcelona for having the cheek to tap him up just before a big game. Why the fuck not eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
