    If we hold wrongs against a person for the rest of their life, then there’s no point in rehabilitation. Judge a person on who they are, not who they were. If he did something bad now then fair enough, but he was an asset to our community

    I'm sorry, but how do you know who Adam Hammill is, bar watching him on a football pitch 5 years ago?

    And frankly what the **** do you mean 'if he did something bad'? He pleaded guilty to assualting 2 FEMALE paramedics. Two ladies going about their job who were called out to help him.

    Feels like I'm posting in some alternate universe where this **** doesn't matter cause he scored a few goals for Tarn.

    If he did it *now*, as in proved he wasn't rehabilitated. You have to give people second chances otherwise the world would be a pretty miserable place.

    Of course what he did matters, but so does his response to it and how he conducts himself in future.

    Again, I do understand it may be a once off and completely out of character. I volunteer helping ex-offenders, so I fully get it. But I wouldn't hold someone up as a hero who has done that.

    I'd hold my heros to higher standards, but maybe I'm more black and white than most on this board.

    Most of my heroes are flawed.

    I'm not talking about being perfect though. I'm talking about not assaulting female paramedics.

    A kung fu kick on a scumbag is much more palatable

    He has showed huge remorse for his actions that night, and it's well known he was suffering from issues at the time. I don't know Adam personally but plenty of people I know do or have met him, and nobody has a bad word to say about him. All that I hear is that he's a genuinely lovely guy who has time for everyone, especially younger supporters. I know that he went out of his way to talk to my nephews when they were mascots a few seasons ago and make sure they were feeling fine on what was a huge and nerve wracking occasion for them. As for him coming in as manager, I don't think it would happen as I believe Adam has stated he sees his future in coaching kids. But writing him off as a person for a drunken incident ten years ago is very short sighted.

    I just think it’s important to note than you can strongly condemn abhorrent actions, yet still offer the olive branch of societal redemption to those who really want to put things right.

    What a player and what passion he brought to us.

    My suggestion that he should be our manager was tongue in cheek but I would love to see him back here in some capacity and help inject some of that spirit into this lacklustre lot we have.

    Not to say he will never be manager material but I for one would feel so much more positive to have him back around the place where he truly belongs.

    Part of Warnock’s boot room would be ideal.

    Adam Hammill is a red…
