No offers a photoshop job imo, glentoby, but we can always rely on Chavvers to nail it in a nutshell:

worrying times for GE. if the Mail had doubts about it's authenticity they would surely have not have published - and would certainly have taken it down. otherwise the tabloids would just post fake photos of celebs and little else.

That was my opinion ages ago but they obviously prefer insulting each other.

It won't though, 1st time Poster. They will just say "well, it could have been real" And on they go with no comeback and nobody holding them to account. I remember the scummy Daily Mirror posting a picture on their front page after a lovely old horse of Micheal Bell's broke down in a Flat race. It was just an accident but that didn't stop the DM printing the picture and thus getting its Lab/Lib readership whipped up into a frenzy. Now the same kind of people have gone beyond this and are actually create fake pictures for maximum exposure. Absolutely disgraceful.

if it's fake it's a clear case of defamation - Elliot should clean up in court

"Surely" - If the standard of mainstream journalism the past few years is anything to go by I wouldn't be surprised at all. |

I'm not aware of many fake photos being published that are defamatory in nature

that won't wash in court if GE pursues defamation |

Let's be honest here it's 2021 it takes all of 5 minutes to crop an image these days even to a basic standard.

A_T this may interest you Piers Morgan was sacked for publishing fake photos purporting to show British troops torturing prisoners |
|
By:
Is it known who first published the photo ;if so then surely that is the organisation GE could sue for libel assuming of course it's a faked photo.
|
|
By:
but did it identify and defame specific individuals?
|
|
By:
in GE's favour the horse doesn't look like a racehorse in training - why would it have been lying dead on a trainer's AW gallops?
|
|
By:
If the photo was at any point stated to be fact by the mail and subsequently found to be fake,it is libel i.e defamation of GEs character.

yes if it's fake the Mail are facing a 6 figure payout

So what do the racing authorities do if Gordon just simply says through his legal team "i do not recall that photo/situation"?
|
|
By:
Elliott looks about 15 years younger and what about what is actually going on in the picture, he is representing a moment of levity with the V sign and an apparent grin on his face.
So we are led to believe that at the moment of such sadness, Elliot is supposed to have said, come on lads get the phone out and take a picture of this!!! Has to be total nonsense. |
|
By:
No saddle on it, so not a horse being trained....I guess it was just some random horse that walked around the gallops there. Like I said, you have to be as thick as 2 short planks to think the picture is real.

By:
Had my neighbour study the photo,he works for Guardia Di Finanza and is an expert in digital crime,he thinks the photograph is real!!!
|
|
By:
Trawling through the mire that is twitter and taking in all premature conclusions, I have decided the answer is a disgruntled former employee has done something very stupid by creating this picture and that Gordon has to keep tight lipped for now to achieve the best possible outcome in going after him/her on defamation/whatever charges. I'm treating this as fact until the facts arrive.

Surely the Irish authorities will have to make another statement tomorrow - no doubt it will be a holding statement.

By:
And of course we have the coincidence that it has come to light right on the eve of the festival.
If it was real you'd have to question the participation of his horses because his owners would immediately have to take them away to new homes which would be a right old mess!!! |

its at times like this you wish ruk had a live irish meeting on, with 30 mins filler between races and 2 pundits maybe walsh and obrien who could discuss it,

By:
james,
How so? my opinion was that I didn't believe the photo, then someone is suggesting that he has admitted it. On that basis there should be no excuse for it and he should suffer accordingly...pretty clear I thought. |
|
By:
Youve said its total nonsense then 2 minutes later said
Going to be attributed to foolishness of youth blah blah, haven't we all done daft things blah blah shouldn't be good enough if true What about waiting till the facts come out before suggesting it's nonsense or his explanation shdnt be good enough? That's in general btw and not direct at you |
