Latics and England Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Article in the Mirror repeatedly refers to him as an Oldham Athletic player. No suggestion in there that we released him. Often we deserve it, but on this occasion we seem to be having our name dragged through the mud unfairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Grim stuff coming out of the court case - he met the alleged victim while handing out medals at a school sports day at Boundary Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't see him coming back here after however long he's been out of the professional game Whether you'd want him back is another matter entirely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't see him coming back here after however long he's been out of the professional game I can. He's also been doing reasonably well away from here (especially taking into account his head would have been all over the place) scored plenty in non league for a winger and won many of motm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thought he was a centre mid? Plays anywhere across the middle, was always a winger growing up but like you say CM for youth, unsure where Shaw Lane played him - just noticed he notched a fair few.

super_blue Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Did we terminate his contract pre trial or suspend it? Says he is out of contract in the article! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 When you think about it...we've had Lee Hughes on our books and tried signing, at that time, a convicted rapist and yet we fired off Touhy as quick as we could before any court case or evidence had ever been heard.

mcfluff1985 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Montano sacked too and later found not guilty. I know Tuohy was suspended. Might be his contract just ran out. Montano was right to be sacked I think after that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that we released Tuohy because he was not deemed good enough, not because of the court case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 To be fair Touhy's case doesn't read too well despite the verdict. It got a lot of coverage on the first day of the trial when the prosecution were going to town on him. They've not reported anything on the defence side of the case, which is bang out of order. For the jury to chuck it out in less than an hour suggests he's done nothing wrong at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 He was suspended, not released. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-jack-tuohy-3127073.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocent, means exactly that. I just hope he can pick up his life from the floor now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
