Yes it makes you innocent. Until you are guilty you are innocent. If the original trial was "iffy" then it is a mis-trial surely, therefore you were never guilty and the original verdict is quashed. Innocent.
The c*nt thing.... who cares. I'd say a very high % of footballers are c*nts who behave like this pretty much every weekend, probably some of those amongst our squad current or past.
The problem comes from idiot parents and society putting footballers up as role models. I guess they are role models in a way though...... in how NOT to act and live your personal/private life. I support a football team, I don't idolise players these days and certainly don't look up to them in any way.
