Ched Evans

Wilson gave him his chance but would you have him at Oakwell?

There's a backlash against him being re-instated at Brammall Lane

Personally, I think a convicted rapist is a step too far irrespective of how good a player he was for Wilson when at Sheff United.

 

No ta. Anyone convicted of such offence shouldn't even get another club, never mind BFC!

Worrying thing is though had the same discussion last Saturday. Wilson did rate him, backed him through the build up to court case etc. Would he be daft enough to approach him? Even if he did, I'm sure Mansford wouldn't allow it, he'd expect a very big backlash.

 

No no no no no no....I have 2 daughters I wouldnt like to watch a bloke capable of that week in week out earning 5k pw!!

Absolutely not. In fact I would be disgusted if we signed him.

 

More importantly...what letter are you up to mate?

 

Keep well clear of him, nowt but trouble!!

 

We stopped being a family club years ago thanks to the influx of players with dodgy pasts being brought in either permanently or on loan so if we did try and sign him it wouldn't at all be a surprise.

 

Not for me.

 

What if his appeal is succesful ?

?

 

Knocked off around 9ish last night and have had to pause it quite a bit this morning (ruddy clients will insist on calling me), so still on L. Lovin' Spoonful just finished and now a cover of Why Don't We Do It In The Road? By Lowell Fulson is playing, and knock me down with a feather if he isn't making the lyrics up as he goes along. Lucinda Williams coming up and then Luke Haines for the rest of the day, maybe getting to Lullaby For The Working Class if I don't get fed up with work and knock off early again. Actually a song called A Tear In The Sea by Lucas Renney has just come on. Don't recall downloading that one, so it must have been on a magazine cover CD and impressed me enough to save it. It's quite good actually.

 

Re: What if his appeal is succesful ?

That would just make him unsavoury, rather than criminally unsavoury. Getting a call off your mate to go round to his hotel and have a go on the drunk lass he'd picked up, whilst his brother watches it through the window is not the way I was brought up to treat women. Yet his girlfriend is standing by the wealthy professional footballer...

 

Re: What if his appeal is succesful ?

Well..... If we don't want to sign footballers who have done dodgy stuff.....

Leaving the criminality aside.

 

I wouldn't want him near our club

 

I'd take him in a heart beat 25 plus goals a season in this league easy

 

Re: What if his appeal is succesful ?

I can't get my head around it. Ched Evans may not be the most handsome bloke in the world, but he's not the ugliest either and he's a professional footballer, there'd have been a number of lasses queueing up for him that night. But instead of copping off with one of them, he takes a call from his mate who has just shagged some pissed up lass in a hotel room, goes round there and fcuks her himself. None of that is in dispute, both sides say that's what happened.

Where we have a discrepancy in the differing accounts of the evening is that she says she gave no consent for Ched to have a go, or has no memory of doing so being too drunk/drugged to give anyone permission, and he says she said yes. Even if Ched is right, it's ******* weird. Who goes round to his mates and bangs the lass he's already done when it's clear she's off her head? Even if she did say yes.

When I'm that drunk, the only word I know is yes.
Shall we have another pint? "Yes"
Do you want a whiskey? "Yes"
Do you wanna kebab? "Yes"
Shall we go to the club or go home? "Yes"
Are you married? "No"

I wouldn't trust Ched with me pet cat, never mind me daughter.

 

Re: What if his appeal is succesful ?

It's operating on a different level - some folk will do owt.

 

You'd be happy for your ticket money to go into the pocket of a convicted rapist?

 

Re: What if his appeal is succesful ?

Young lads do silly stuff, don't think clearly, all seems a laugh. When I think back to some things I got up to between 14 and early 20s I cringe at times.

I am in no way supporting him if he is guilty as charged though. Just offering some opinion on why he chose to do what he did.

 

One who as done his time for his crime and been rehabilitated no problem who so ever

 

We could also get Stuart Hall as match day announcer and Max Clifford as Public Relations officer then.
