and again, sacking him's completely proportionate given his position as the head of women's football in Spain and the example he needs to set

oh and by the way if you want to talk about pressure being put on Hermoso, she says the pressure was all from the other side: "I have to state that I have been under constant pressure to come out with some sort of statement that would justify the acts of Mr Luis Rubiales."

How many people do you think were watching that match and the after award globally? The suggestion that it could have been premeditated makes absolutely no sense unless Rubiales has some kind of personality disorder that overrides any sense of good judgement. The whole point of unwanted sexual behaviour is that it tends to be surreptitious.


I’m going to call bollocks on that last statement, the amount of pressure from a media with the bit between its teeth meant that even if she had made a statement like that it would have made no difference. The baying mob wanted his head.
