Yeah Firko, from what I can gather he's in deep shite.
A conviction will see the end of his international career.
-
If what I hear is true the little prick deserves everything the courts throw at him. What a flucking waste of talent.
-
I remember watching him as a junior racing dirt track at Mike Hatchers on the Gold Coast and thought he had so much talent.
What an idiot he had the world at his feet.
-
Guilty by print media and forum. :'(
-
Has he been found guilty of anything yet ??? Never heard of the kid , I have 4 daughters aged 12 to 23 ( and would do anything to protect them and deal to anyone who did them harm )
The girl in that article is someones daughter too, i have a young mate who was accused of somthing similar by someones daughter, he too was tried and convicted by many of his so called mates before the girl was outed as an attention seeker who was pissed off because he wasant interested in her .
Trial by media scum and forums is hardly giving somone a fair go .
Im sure if guilty justice will be served and well deserved, but until proven guilty hes just another kid waiting to be tried by his peers .
Either way guilty or innocent the media scum wont give a fork , they will get more mileage out of this than any championships he has won >:(
-
Media are about selling papers/air time. End of story.
However, the kid is a local here and his uncle comes into work from time to time.
A while back he was telling me how good he was going to be and I thought that's great, then he told me that he(uncle) and his dad (uncles bro) had to get their shit together as they needed to prep the bikes for the weekend-I asked what D'arcy was doing and was told that he wouldn't go near the bikes and sat on the couch waiting for them to get the bikes ready-he's a star don't you know.
I just agreed and went about my stuff.
-
I certainly never said he was guilty, the courts will eventually work that out.
None of the media reports I've read have actually accused him if being guilty either, there are certain details that haven't and can't be published.
At the end of the day I hope the girl involved gets a fair hearing.
He isn't the first young sport star to find himself in this situation and certainly won't be the last.
-
I heard in speedway circles it was another team mate and she was a groupy, that came back to the hotel after a club meeting. the rape allegation was against the other kid but he is on trial for association and not stopping it when it happened or what ever they call it.
There is nothign in that article other than' leggin it' that i would even waste my time posting here firko. thats article is a total non event.
Nothing against daughters as i have one , but i have seen chicks get out of there depth real quick chasing stars and fame for there girlfreinds addorations. I have also seen guys not realise when its time to walk away.
Life give you lots of curve balls, and being public figures comes with extra pressure that some of these kids dont get taught how to deal with it, and many come unstuck by a bad choice or a split second descion. much liek a car crash. ITS not like Darcy is a Ben cousins repeat offender. there is a differance between thinking its wrong at the time and knowing its wrong and setting out to do it.
I think you will need to read the court transcipts before you go all jury and executioner
-
Here Here, well put Freaky and I like the way you worked in Ben Cousins everyone's a saint when your put up against him ;D
-
Google it Freaky, there is a whole lot more to it inc an Iphone video.
I have a teenage daughter and god forbid, I also have a teenage son and would be devastated if he got caught up in anything like this.

Google is just another media ,its google not gospel and all i could find on google was more scumbag media reports ::) Not that the media has been known to exagerate, tell half the story or just outright bullshit ;) .
Only the Girl and the Boys involved know what happened, the evidence for both sides will be presented to the jury ( the actual jury not the WWW Kangaroo version ) and a verdict will be reached .
If found guilty without doubt, then hang the Bastards , but until that verdict is in then the bloke is presumed innocent .
Its a very nasty subject all round especially for those of us with Daughters , but until the accused has been found guilty by his peers then he is just that the accused.
Ironic really i have been motorcycle mad since i was about 10 yrs old , yet this kid is /was a junior world champion yet i never heard of him until he is accused of a sex crime ??? isn't media a great thing ;)

-

well that is good news-for him AND the sport.
-
That is good news and hopefully some lessons learnt.
-
Good ole google and the media aye ::) ::) ::) thank fork he was'nt tried on here ::) because he would have been hung out to dry ( because it was all on a cell phone apparantly ::)
I have absolutley Zero faith in the Police or the justice system in general ( but i do believe that jury trials are a fair way to go )
Watch that forking scum media now , i bet the kid gets fork all coverage of his racing achievments in comparison to the coverage over this >:
Over to the WWW jury :P
Lesson learnt ??? ??? ??? like what ??? ??? ??? trust no C**t and sport is full of fair weather supporters is all he has probably learnt
-
The biggest casualty in most court cases is the truth, how did OJ get off.
And in no way am I saying Darcy was guilty, just that we'll never know and sadly some mud will stick.
Young blokes will get into situations like this forever and a day.
Hopefully he can put it behind him, keep his nose clean and get about using the immense talent he has.
-
Shit I'm glad Darcy was found not guilty. The rumors spreading throughout speedway circles described a pretty despicable act being done on the girl which would have put him away for a long time if proven. Hopefully he can now get on with his career without too much shit sticking to his foot.
-
Let's hope it is a lesson well learned and he now puts his head down and does some winning.
-
I still dont get what lesson he has to learn ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? the kid was found to be INNOCENT ::) He might be a lazy useless git who wont clean his own bike (i dont know i never heard of the kid till this) but even if he is it dont make him a rapist .
Can somone please explain to me what lesson he should have learnt from this ???
I think its more of a case of some of us on here learning lessons , ie just because somone says somthing about somone it dont make it true .

Of course shit will stick with that attitude >:(
-
WW is not always right , thats the lesson , I guess ;)
Absolutley :)
-
Great news for Darcy and his Family. Guys like this are targeted regularly. Young sporting star on the rise, money etc can reult in them being targets for an easy buck by some. If there is a lesson it might be to watch who he associates with off the track.
-
Point taken, not the best analogy.
Lesson learnt = Don't put yourself in a situation that could go either way, like group sex with a lone, drunk female.
As I've said, he certainly isn't the first young sport star to get caught up in something like this and sure won't be the last, can't put an old head on young shoulders.
-
Old head it was the little head doing the thinking :o
