Ched Evans Should NOT be allowed to train at Sheffield United !! Wales next?

DuelingFanjo · 11/11/2014 11:04

seriously?
I am absolutely appalled. I really really hope this doesn't mean he will ever play for Wales. I will definitely be taking part in some kind of protest if that happens.

I want Ched Evans to accept he is guilty of raping that girl. I want him stop trying to tell us he was only "cheating". I want him to call off the baying pack which includes his close family and friends that are still going after that girl. I want him to withdraw his request to appeal his sentence.

After that, maybe we'll talk about him going back into football.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/11/2014 14:12

CariadsDarling, he could get another job, one in which he won't be held up as a role model.

Most people who come out of prison do not have their old job held open for them and in a serious crime like rape it is often not considered appropriate for them to return to their previous career.

sashh · 12/11/2014 14:14

He was found guilty and served a sentence.

Yes he was found guilty. He has served half his sentence and used his time running a facebook page and twitter account slagging off his victim.

He needs to say he was wrong, that he committed a crime and that he is responsible.

BeyondTheLimits · 12/11/2014 14:19

DH knows PH duelling, I'll ask him to investigate

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 12/11/2014 14:19

I don't know how his family and friends, including his girlfriend, can seriously think that harassing the victim is right in any way. Who would sit there and think "oh I know, I'll have someone hack into her facebook account and see what I can come up with"??

I still maintain that they are comfortable placing Convicted Rapist Ched Evans as the victim because they view the REAL victim as less than human, less "worthy", less important than them. Therefore, she's negligible damage in their deliberations. It's a wealthy or elitist mindset IMO.

twofingerstoGideon · 12/11/2014 14:19

I think he is an awful person but Im genuinely confused as to what people want him to do job wise if they dont want him to return to football.

Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck.

Just what do you want to happen to him next?

I would like him to acknowledge his guilt and tell his family and 'supporters' to stop the victim blaming.

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 12/11/2014 14:20

He's young. He could retrain in another career easily. It's not uncommon, you know. Loads of people do it for one reason or another.

BeyondTheLimits · 12/11/2014 14:21

In the unlikely event he does go back to Wales, i wont be watching

chockbic · 12/11/2014 14:23

Perhaps he can get harassment added to his charge sheet?

Whether he likes it or not, he is a role model for the youngsters, and he is behaving in an appalling manner.

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 12/11/2014 14:23

Could he even EVER play for England anyway?? They're hardly going to be clever choosing him for the team, not only from a PR perspective, but also because his conviction would bar him from entering some countries - surely that limits his usefulness to the team... not to mention each and every time it happens, the rape trial will be dragged out for public consumption once again (rightly so).

Sorry, but I don't get this at all. Talented footballers a ten a penny... why sign one that has all this baggage attached when they can easily get one cheaper, younger, that hasn't done the crime and have all the nasty PR implications??

AnyFucker · 12/11/2014 14:26

He's young. He could retrain in another career easily

Did you see his "profound" videoed statement ? He also incriminated himself into a rape conviction, despite the assistance of very expensive lawyers.

You might want to rephrase that, Alice Grin

twofingerstoGideon · 12/11/2014 14:27

I would like to see some of the male patrons and sponsors of the club stand up and say Convicted Unrepentant Rapist Ched Evans should not be allowed back.

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 12/11/2014 14:33

AnyFucker Now now.. I didn't say he could be a brain surgeon. Grin

AnyFucker · 12/11/2014 14:34
Smile
AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 12/11/2014 14:37

Perhaps a politician? He'd probably fit right in... nobody looks up to them anymore anyway, do they?? Hmm Although they'd have to teach him to say "no comment..." or if he's having a particularly good day "we're certainly looking into that..." Grin

EveDallasRetd · 12/11/2014 15:01

A third patron has resigned - Dave Berry.

Good on him.

twofingerstoGideon · 12/11/2014 15:09

The abuse of Charlie Webster is in full flow now...

Lovely comment from a moron called Brad: "I didn't even know who Charlie Webster was till she used Ched as a way to increase her fame. Stupid bitch. #ChedEvans"

Lovely. What charmers they are.

Hopefully police will be investigating the keyboard warriors.

OMG Fango. What sad is that this is nothing new now. People are vile. I'm going to live up a mountain, in a yurt.

Thank you for the replies to my question. :)

Sorry, I must have missed it. Charlie Webster, Dave Berry have resigned as patrons. Who is the other ?
