Accused rapist Ched Evans to be released from prison

Wilf said:
To be honest, if he ever makes it onto the field he's an injury waitng to happen. Hasn't played since 2012 (?) and will struggle to get match fit to play much of a role this season - along with the reception he'll get from opposing players. None of that's really the issue here, but it is a bit of a risk for Oldham in purely footballing terms.

Yep. He's likely to have every fucker trying to do a Nobby Stiles on his knees.

I honestly think that as a player he'll drift into obscurity, he's been out of the game for a while and despite his extreme arrogance his confidence will have taken a blow. He'll never fully fit in with a changing room ever again, plus with all that baggage he can't afford to have a bad game let alone a bad run.

That said, there's a minority of people in changing rooms up and down the land who've committed similar sex crimes, so some players may be thinking "there but for the grace of G-d goes me" when they see him.
 
From The Indy again:

Oldham Athletic’s owner declared tonight that there is an 80 per cent chance of the club signing Ched Evans, declaring: “You have to stick to your principles.”

Christ. What 'principles' would those be then? They really haven't got a clue about how to handle this, have they?

I'd doubt that.
He was in the company of a fellow footballer on the night in question, with a few more of their like minded chums looking through the window.
I have very grave doubts that they are the only rapists currently playing football. So while some players will certainly want to give him a bit of a doing, a significant number of them will be mainly thanking their lucky stars they're not in his boots and there is no question that some will share the view that he has every right to be back at his work.

From the BBC version of that story , the owner comes out with this :

Simon Corney said:
Oldham Athletic owner Simon Corney says there is an "80% chance" that the League One club will sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Speaking to the Jewish Chronicle from New York, Corney said the deal could happen "at any time", but that it "wasn't straightforward" and there were "some legal issues" to overcome first.

"We believe he has served his time," Corney said.

Yes, quite a few legal issues. Not least those which directly contradict your last sentence. You dorkbrained pillock ....

There are many things that baffle me about this, not least the idea that in any other profession he'd be able to resume his career. Apart from the obvious caring professions, and anything involving contact with children, there are actually loads of jobs where a serious conviction like rape would preclude you ever working in that field again. I have to pass a fit and proper test, I am being assessed as code staff and I have in the past been a registered party- all pretty common checks in professional services like law, accountancy; any board level leadership position, any position defined as sensitive in regulated industries like pharma or finance. Any of those checks would be instantly failed with a rape conviction.

Even Timpsons who's proud boat is they take on ex-offenders draw the line at sex cases.

He can go and work for his future FIL if he wants, the twat has offered him a job if footie is closed to him after all, not sure I'd want to buy an engagement or wedding ring from a rapist. I'm superstitious like that.

Doesn't bode well, does it?

In many ways, Ch 4 made a very wise choice putting Eric Hall on. :thumbs:

What a fucking cock that Hall is, his first words, "I think you'd better be very careful what you say, my darling, he is appealing..."

Yes, wise choice C4!

Shamelessly robbed from the new jokes thread:

BREAKING SPORTS NEWS: Oldham Athletic have said 'NO' to Ched Evans.

But he is taking that as a 'YES'.

She didn't actually say No though did she?, in fact, according to the transcript from the court case she asked him to perform oral sex on her before he had sex with her. The issue is that she was too intoxicated to consent, hence its rape.

Putting aside the issue that consenting to oral sex is not the same as consenting to vaginal sex, your position is that because the (subsequently) convicted rapist said it in court, it's true? Really?

According to the transcript?

the transcript is a record of the evidence given by people. Whose evidence are you quoting here while trying to give it a neutral authority of being from the transcript?

oh, that's right, you're quoting evans. the bloke the jury didn't believe.

Good.

Though the pessimist in me says it's only a matter of time. There'll be club, somewhere, at some level, to which the financial value of his goals will outweigh the financial cost of losing fans and sponsors. And once he's back in, he'll keep his head down and gradually climb up through the leagues, probably making a very good living.

the more that Uk clubs see this shit happening, the less likely it is that he will get a deal anywhere. After this, there's no way that any club can play the faux xupprise/outrage that anyone is complaining. I don't think he will get anywhere now until he can go overseas to some where that hasn't seen massive reporting of this case.
