Words fail me Shock

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 20:52

I think the phrase you need here is "What the fucking fuck?"

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 20:54

And also, Gordon, it's not how it was "portrayed by the police", it's the verdict of a jury subsequently reviewed by two sets of judges.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 08/01/2015 20:55

Really hope he's not planning any trips to Liverpool soon.

WeirdCatLady · 08/01/2015 20:55

FFS. They'll be comparing him to Nelson Mandela next.

BOFster · 08/01/2015 20:59

Already happened, WeirdCatLady...

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 08/01/2015 21:01

Please tell me you're joking BOF.....

VikingVolva · 08/01/2015 21:01

I'm close to speechless.

Has anyone from the Hillsborough Familes Support Group commented on what the head of the PFA has said?

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 08/01/2015 21:02

Oh FFS.

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 21:03

And people say the We Believe You campaign is biased.

WeirdCatLady · 08/01/2015 21:03

Oh my God BOF, I thought you were kidding.

Fucking hell. Well. How do you argue with logic like that?

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 21:09

Um, broadly, didn't Mandela DO the things he was convicted for?

Not saying the laws Mandela was convicted under were just or the sentence fair but I think I'm right...?

PuffinsAreFictitious · 08/01/2015 21:13

Yes, you're right. Mandela was broadly guilty of the crimes he was accused of. Evans is completely guilty for raping a young woman in Rhyl, by his own testimony.

The major difference is that Mandela knew he was being a bad lad, whereas Evans is still going for the wide eyed innocent thing.

LineRunner · 08/01/2015 21:15

I think it's the comparing of the rapist Ched Evans to the Nobel peace prize winner and statesman Nelson Mandela that raises the eyebrow.

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 21:16

Oh Yy Liney.

But if people are posting pompous tossy comparisons like that, it's extra amusing if they are factually incorrect.

LineRunner · 08/01/2015 21:18

I would definitely quiz them on the ANC.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 08/01/2015 21:19

If they can name where he was jailed, I'll give them an actual lollypop.

WeirdCatLady · 08/01/2015 21:22

To be fair, if they are THAT stupid, they should get a sweetie for putting matching socks on.

BOFster · 08/01/2015 21:25

Tbf, Mandela ended up in Robben Island, and the non-league team Chard in Somerset who have joked (I presume) that they are awaiting Evans' call are known locally as The Robins, so I can see a certain symmetry there...

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 21:29

Do The Robins dig quarries in blinding sunshine too?

Grin
BOFster · 08/01/2015 21:30

Well, they all have day jobs... Grin

TheOfficialPan · 08/01/2015 21:30

I could do a much better PR effort for CE than his currently highly paid advisors are doing, at half the cost. But then again, my dd's pet stick insect could do just as well as them.

YonicSleighdriver · 08/01/2015 22:34

Yup.

  1. Apologise
  2. Do it fast
  3. Keep your head down
  4. Stop talking

The end.

TheOfficialPan · 08/01/2015 22:36

pretty good template Yonic.
