Ched Evans

[redsimon]

Think you summed up thread tbh David.

Was a "debate" on this topic on Daily Politics which was one of the strangest things I've seen for a while, then again it involved that Eric Hall idiot, who is a " Football Agent". Worth looking up on iplayer?

Eric Hall is still around? wow!

thought agents were all MBA toting corporate lawyer types these days

Keith if you were sentenced for "raping" someone and you were 100% sure you never done it would you be full of remorse?

There is no doubting Evans is an idiot but the guy deserves the chance to get back into the game and start earning a crust. 

He's done his sentence and like any other crim he needs to get back to normalisation.

He was on the wireless yesterday.

He said he was willing to bet that Evans would be signed this season. He also offered to be his Agent.

?he has just been on news as well.  Was he always that small?  He looked very oddly shaped on the tv.

Pretty much this. Especially the first line.

As I don't know if he did or didn't commit the crime, I might substitute "deserve" for "has the right to".

Didn't some goalkeeper kill someone after drink driving a few years back? Im sure when he got behind the wheel he KNEW what could happen. This guy may only think he was having consensual sex. One has grey areas one doesn't, but I don't recall the goalie being hounded out of the game.*


I, in no way condone Mr Evans etc, before the usuals jump up and down. Just a view.

I dont know much about the case as i havent been following it or this thread. However something i found quite interesting was posted on Twitter by Nick Weatherall (Camel, Toby Lewis and Vicky Coren in convo) he said that the guy has NOT served all of his sentence, he has just been released early from prison and put on Licence, surely this should make a difference as to whether he is allowed to play football? I would have thought some sort of community work would be more appropriate until his sentence is fully served?

Not his fault he has been let of prison early. Gotta be allowed to earn money to live on.

How can you be "100% sure", there isn't anything to be 100% sure about, you either know you did it or not.

So why does he deserve a chance? by the way and how is being a footballer on thousands of pounds a week "normalisation"?

the behaviour of Evans fiancee and her family is one of the oddest things about this complicated case, from the lady standing by her fella who, at the very very very least was unfaithful to her to her dad funding legal cases and now this
