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.

Really ballerina, tell you what, please have a go tomorrow at asking 10 men to honestly answer how they feel about the case.

Bellerina2 · 13/11/2014 23:51

I have actually as I was discussing this case just the other day in my predominantly male workplace. All the guys were unanimous in condemning the rapist Ched Evans and the disgusting campaign of harassment his family and friends have waged against his victim. But then again, I don't work with a bunch of misogynist Neanderthals so...

QueenTilly · 13/11/2014 23:52

Well, I told DH about the case months back, and his reaction was:

  1. why wasn't McDonald prosecuted for aiding and abetting rape?
  2. Evans just went off to have "a go" on his team-mate's "bird"? WTF?
  3. his brother and friend filmed them through the window? WTF?
Whiskwarrior · 13/11/2014 23:52

Diversion, diversion, diversion.

Can we please continue talking about the convicted rapist Ched Evans and how we feel that he should not be allowed to continue playing football at a high level?

And not forgetting We Believe You.

UptheHammers1 · 13/11/2014 23:53

I'm not diverting anything, I'll stay all night debating and answering anything.
I just find it so hypercritical that everyone is coming out in uproar about Evans when there are plenty of other footballers out there playing football after serving sentences for sexual assault and death by drunk driving... Where are the campaigns against them.. Marlon king fucking played for SU last year probably with Jessica and Charlie in the stands cheering.

Whiskwarrior · 13/11/2014 23:56

Where are the campaigns against them

As you obviously feel so strongly about them, why don't you start the campaigns? Or start another thread? This thread is about the convicted rapist Ched Evans and you are derailing it nicely (which is you full intention).

Have you checked out the We Believe You campaign yet?

PuffinsAreFicticious · 13/11/2014 23:59

Bellerina, me too. Military types, so not known for their staunch feminism, unanimously believe the rapist is a scumbag and shouldn't be doing anything in the public eye. One of them a blades fan as well.

Gary Linneker also. Hope he opens the floodgates for non rapey footballers to stand up and be counted too.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 14/11/2014 00:00

hammers

On this thread you have asserted that Evans resigning is inevitable. You have questioned the motives of two women standing up for what they think is right. You have questioned the victims behaviour and insinuated that if it was rape, it wasn't rape-rape. And now you're unilaterally deciding that every man in the world would agree with your pov. And EVERY time a poster patiently engages with you, you nod along then come back a few hours later with a fresh derailment.

You support a rapist.

And quite frankly, you are boiling my piss. I'm out.

UptheHammers1 · 14/11/2014 00:02

Threads evolve, you can't have 500 posts solely about Evans, my questions are relevant.

UptheHammers1 · 14/11/2014 00:03

LonnyVonny.. Come back I'm having fun.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 14/11/2014 00:04

Fuck off

UptheHammers1 · 14/11/2014 00:08

You can't have a go at me for coming back every couple of hours... No one is sad enough to sit on here all night, some of us have a life

Whiskwarrior · 14/11/2014 00:09

Lonny please don't leave. That's exactly what it wants - to shut down discussion.

'Having fun' just proves exactly how seriously you are taking this discussion. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself UptheHammers1.

You're a complete scumbag. I don't give a shit if this gets deleted. At least it will stand for now and you (and others) will see that I'm telling you that you're a scumbag rape apologist.

Twat.

Bellerina2 · 14/11/2014 00:11

So now this thread has evolved to be all about you and your feelings? ODFOD.

UptheHammers1 · 14/11/2014 00:19

Whiskwarrior that's not very nice.. Promise I won't report it though.
To be honest I am going now, I'm bored of you lot trying to shout down someone putting across a second but valid point of view that happens to disagree with you lot.

Bellerina2 · 14/11/2014 00:21

Oh god, SO sorry to have bored you with little things like facts! Hear that ladies? We mustn't bore the poor ickle man. His views are VALID and must be heard! Didn't you all know that men are hardly given a voice these days! Tsk tsk.

ConkerTime · 14/11/2014 00:24

I don't think it's hypocritical.

This was a single high profile planned crime within the context of a group which gives it an extra nasty factor imo and as has been repeated so often he doesn't accept what he did was wrong and his friends have even hounded the victim. It is appalling. I don't get why anyone defends him. Those I know don't.

Whiskwarrior · 14/11/2014 00:24

Report the fuck away. I couldn't give a shit. As if it bothers me to be deleted when scum like you are taking the side of a convicted rapist.

Please do leave. And please don't come back.

Valid point of view, my arse.

PuffinsAreFicticious · 14/11/2014 00:25

Don't let the door bang you on your rape apologist arse on the way out now, will you?

Facts. Rapists and their fans hate them.

ConkerTime · 14/11/2014 00:26

I don't think you or Rod Liddle had valid arguments tbh. And I can't understand your motivation in seeking to defend this person.

UptheHammers1 · 14/11/2014 00:30

You lot need to get some sleep and try getting a life at the same time.
You're spending far to much time getting annoyed at a computer / phone screen.

ConkerTime · 14/11/2014 00:32

You seem quite invested yourself mate! Good night.

Whiskwarrior · 14/11/2014 00:33

Weren't you leaving?

Funny how we need to get a life but you're still here. Does that not imply you need to get a life too? And how does one get a life while sleeping?

And no one is getting annoyed at a screen - we're annoyed at twatty rape apologists.

Hth.

YonicScrewdriver · 14/11/2014 00:33

Ta ra, chuck!

PuffinsAreFicticious · 14/11/2014 00:45

Thought you were leaving and teaching us a lesson? Please remain gone, we're learning so much!

Is it open mic night at the rape apologist arms tonight or something? There's another of them with their crayons out elsewhere.
