The finest legal mind of his generation, Steve Bruce, has looked closely at the case and decided Ched has a case for appeal

I saw Steve Bruce destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging himself through the negro streets at dawn.

Why do we bother with a Criminal Cases Review Commission when we could just get Brucie to have a gander through the files?

Steve Bruce says that?

Maybe I have got this all wrong after all.

It was Brucie who got the Birmingham 6 out. 'Maybe they didn't do it' I think he said

Files? A quick wiki should do, no? Due process and all that.

I'm fed up of all these idiots saying 'ah but when you look at the details...'

I have looked at the details you fuckwits, I can tell you more about the evidence than you can. Shut up

 

[Teaboy]

Wasnt it Steve Bruce (whilst at Birmingham) who gave Pennant a job after he came out of prison after his umpteenth drink driving conviction? He's a one man review and rehabilitation board.

 

[JTG]

He'll end up at Forest Green Rovers anyway. They all do

 

[ViolentPanda]

He cant leave the UK for another 2 years until his sentence is complete.

In fact he can't do much until he's off of licence, because the slightest criminal transgression means he goes back to chokey.
If only we had jay-walking laws in the UK!

it is, well, not really funny. But who got to look at (and listen to) more of the details than anyone on the internet, or down the pub? The jury. The ones who unanimously found Evans guilty. Funny that.

Evans issues 'apology':

Convicted rapist Ched Evans has issued an apology via the Professional Footballers' Association "for the effects that night in Rhyl has had on many people, not least the woman concerned" but maintains his innocence in relation to his conviction for rape.

I suppose if he'd really tried it could have been even more half arsed

Pretty much as I predicted, when I said he'd make a spurious and insincere apology if he thought it'd give him a sniff of a contract. What a two-bob cunt he is.

and when he follows it up with a second statement condemning 'mob justice' and 'radicals' two bob seems to be a very generous assessment.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Looking slightly to one side for a mo, foitball has had bad press, for a variety if reasons over the years and a club signing a rapist will certainly not help that image.
A club i have not seen mentioned, who no one likes already, who might sign him; millwall. No one would argue with their fans and would anyone dare protest at one of their matches?
Btw, for apology, please read, im getting desperate.

Millwall's "nobody likes us and we don't care" doesn't mean the fans would tolerate them signing a rapist.

Fuckwad should be grateful he hasn't been subjected to true "mob justice", and left dangling from the fucking goalposts!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Might have been threats of rape being made against relatives of Oldham's employees if they went ahead with the signing, as in ' sign Evans and your daughter will be raped.'

Which leaves me speechless tbh and I sincerely hope it is bollocks.

Interestingly I had a discussion with some guys at work who didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with him trying to get back into football saying that to not let him was just revenge.

To which I'd say "it's not revenge, it's poetic justice for him continuing to pretend he's not a rapist".

Jesus christ taylor:

The old '80s terrace chant "Gordon Taylor, he fucks dogs" (to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down") needs to be revived.

 

[ViolentPanda]

fucking hell - gordan taylor should resign for that shit.

Shit-eating dog-fucker should be sacked, not allowed to resign.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Well it may be bullshit, but it looked like you were calling bullshit on the poster but it had been reported as such. Anyway, I was playing catch up, so doing a VP/Canuck by picking up on stuff already picked up on.

Please can you post a link or direct us to these details you have looked at. The only place I found any details is on the Ched Evans site which, by its nature, is not likely to be impartial or include facts unhelpful to his position.

Looks like he headed one too many long balls out of defence.

https://www.crimeline.info/case/r-v-ched-evans-chedwyn-evans - for one. There's a link to the full appeal transcript there too

The Taylor continues to prove intelligence is not needed for a career in football.

If twos up on some drunken woman you never met before and then legging it with the police starting the investigation as a naked womman in a strange bed with no memory of what happened ism dodgy what the hell is?

Thanks. It's not very detailed though.
What I would like to see - subject to appropriate anonymisation obviously - would be the defendants' statements to the cops and their testimony (assuming they gave any) in court. If anyone has those it would be great, since they are key to understanding how they explained their actions on the night.

 

[belboid]

Why would you need to anonymise the - oft-named - defendant' statements?

Their explanations are there in the link given

 

[Betsy]

Fair enough, wasn't calling bullshit on the poster, just saying that Oldham's story whiffed a bit.

Thank you for that - I wasn't quite sure.

Because I imagine that the cops / lawyers would have used the woman's name in the questions making up the transcripts.

One of the reasons why those things are never released. There is plenty of info out there, more than enough for most rational people. Tho probably not for those who are desperately trying to find ways to get Evans off the hook.

It is pretty detailed tbf. The defence of both defendents is laid out including their explaination for their actions. Is there something specific you're after.

Some twat on the forum suggested signing him, not entirely as a wind-up, fortunately got push-back (but some agreement too). I've not signed up but was going to to comment on that but the thread's locked now.
