Well that puts a light on things.

I first thought that some journalist made up the term "sexual touching".

Coverage of this by the terrorgraph compared to Paul Kent is hilarious

they will never change
A lot of restraint on this forum, so some things can change... usually there would be fans of club player plays for being tentatively supportive with caveats, and other team supporters split on a gulity v. wait for more info basis.

Well done all you... so far.
