Don't know what to make of this. scratchchin

Maybe a peck on the cheek may have been better?

30 months in the Slammer seems a bit over the top.

It does seem to me to be a bit much. A message to others perhaps?

But I do remember at the time he seemed to have an opportunity to get out of it all with a simple and quick apology and acknowledgement that he did the wrong thing. But he didnt do that. He made it worse if I remember.

Well apart from the fact that the trial is still ongoing and guilt and any sentence has yet to be decided, so a bit premature.

"An expert in lip reading told the court on Tuesday that Mr Rubiales asked Ms Hermoso "can I give you a kiss?""

Seems to suggest he did ask. Obvs can't see if she said yes, but at least tallies with his story at the first step.

It's easy to avoid grabbing people and snogging them, I've managed for over 50 years and I'm stupid.

I have no sympathy for him in the slightest, another example of lack of personal responsibility and trying to pass off his inability to behave like a decent human being as something silly or pointless.

He assaulted her it can't be that hard to understand can it?

It was in reference to this:-

"Prosecutors are seeking a two-and-half year jail term for Rubiales. The trial, which runs until 19 February, continues."

No, I don't believe she does.

They can be strange about that on the continent. Had a bloke kissing me on the cheeks in Belgium once.

On one hand I saw it an thought it was just a bit European but then he kissed her on the lips an while it was not full on tongue in the mouth it's was still a bit much. 2.5 years hmmm I would have thought a fine might be better as I doubt she has suffered lasting harm

Bare bottom cheeks are different. Maybe re-consider your leg wear?

Wasn’t he the bloke that was grabbing his crotch and thrusting it towards people?

In that situation would he really ask if he could kiss her? Did he ask all the other members of the team - albeit I know he didn’t kiss any of them?

Just seems bizarre to me that in that situation he planted a kiss on her lips.

In the footage you can see him say something to her just before though there didn't seem much time for a reply before he went in for the kiss

The whole thing is bizarre. It looked a bit weird when he planted the kiss on her lips. At the time I thought he's used the moment to grab one, or, that he had some kind of relationship with her (even if it was like a pervy uncle type).

Are you thinking of Martinez (Argentina and Aston Villa keeper)?

Maybe it's a latino / machismo type thing?
