Not seen such Bravery!
Where did I say that?
I don't think you did. I am really struggling to see any 'mob rule' here.
Where did I say that?
As I said previously I think the FA should take control and if they say yes he can play back the club that takes him by saying whatever you lose through sponsors pulling out we will cover that loss for this season as it is will be a div 1 or 2 club and that money wont be astronomical.
Genuinely one of the stupidest ideas I have ever read.
This has been addressed many times in this thread.
It isn't just about whether she was aware enough to consent, it's also about whether it was reasonable for each of them to assume consent.
To a point, drunken consent is still consent. To a point. The jury had to decide if it was reasonable for the accused to assume the consent was the right side of that line
One of them met a drunk women in town and she got in a taxi and went back to a hotel room alone with him. Quite common circumstances up and down the country. So it would be difficult to unanimously say it was unreasonable for him to assume the consent she was given was coming from a place of complete awareness.
The other lied to a porter to get access to someone else's room (yes, it was in his name, but it wasn't 'his room') to sneak uninvited into a room where his friend was having sex, then when the friend stopped having sex with her, he started. This is not a common circumstance, this isn't how a lot of women get themselves a man.
That is how they came to different decisions. It wasn't simply 'was she too drunk to consent?'. Different circumstances creating different reasonable expectations of consent.
Having commented on this thread previously I will not be entering into any argument about the employability of Ched Evans.
I just have one question.
If you were employing people (for whatever role) would you demand or want a CRB/DBS automatically?
This could be for any reason, self protection for legal reasons, protecting the companies reputation etc., personal outlook, social media opinion, simple data mining or just control.
Would you say yes, in all probability I would want that check regardless of the reasons?
of course i have but you don't get large payouts. In the case of rape, to get more than 10k you have to receive severe physical and mental trauma so that isn't exactly winning big.
What about a civil action though?
i thought you said there were Facebook messages? if they were private messages they would have to be deleted by both parties, the sender and receiver.
As it stands he is a rapist.
I would be very surprised if even a third of people would want a rapist playing for their club.
If he eventually exonorated, of course, then he can play for qwhatever team wants him. That is a moot point at the moment though.
Evans & Oldham agree personal terms?

Sky Sports report convicted rapist Ched Evans has agreed personal terms with Oldham and that a potential deal is in place.
That’s either a brave or stupid decision by Oldham. Will be interesting how this plays out with sponsorship, in the opposition terraces, and how he celebrates when he scores. Could be riots and protests at every game.

Apparently his girlfriend's father has 'connections' to the chairman & has offered to make up any losses
Stupid & dodgy as hell. Apparently his girlfriend's father has 'connections' to the chairman & has offered to make up any losses
I hope they are prepared. They are going to get absolutely hammered from all angles.
Imagine being an Oldham fan....
Personal terms agreed with Oldham Athletic F.C. (BBC)
