Maybe. He's not noted for self-awareness, mind...

Just to provide some balance here, I very rarely vomit but can lose memory after as little as 4 or 5 pints. Beyond about 8 I always have memory problems, with some complete blackouts. So it is easy for me to imagine it.
Perhaps I should stop drinking!

Seriously, Oldham - what utter tw&ts. Could they have made a worse job of this?
They get involved trying to sign a convicted rapist, then pretend to be all shocked when the whirlwind of criticism strikes, then push ahead and try and do it anyway annoying everyone except Gordon Taylor, then lose their nerve and pull out not for any moral or principled reasons that they realised it was the wrong move, but because they have been threatened. That is appalling (if it's true, it does make a handy excuse to back out) but it doesn't spare Oldham.
They have ended up tarring their own name possibly forever AND despite that not getting the player anyway through not holding their nerve. Brilliant job.

Well if that's true, it is TOTALLY out of order. I hope the people responsible are caught and held accountable for their actions.
Disgusting behaviour.
That's interesting. I wonder what NSC thinks about that.

As has been suggested, handy getout, though...

And which shit northern club it is. The boards of these clubs appear to exist in some kind of grim 70's-based moral vacuum where rape is treated more lightly than is acceptable in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. Takes the rest of the country - and their own sponsors - to tell them the good news that their intended financially-motivated actions are unacceptable to decent people.
'NSC' doesn't 'think' anything. Anymore than 'twitter thinks' or a 'train carraige of people' thinks.
I'd assume that most, if not a 100% of posters would find such behaviour abhorrent.
That's exactly my point, we're all different, and the jury were put in a position where they had to decide what her cognitive ability would have been. How the **** are they supposed to do that?
I obviously know that hkfc.

Sources from Oldham Athletic saying the the move has been blocked due to concerns voiced by sponsors and due to senior staff receiving threats including a threat to rape a named directors daughter. Well, that last bit is really classy isn't it ? So the objectors are against rape but only in certain cases.

One director had his daughters address sent to him along with a threat of her rape!
All those in favour of mob rule should hang their heads in shame.

Some will say it is totally irrelevant because they only see one side of the story.
Apparently Evans has turned up for training today despite Oldham's decision. Not the first time he's thought No means Yes.

I've yet to see anyone in favour of 'mob rule' myself.

Her memory of events has no bearing on the case had no bearing on consent as far as I'm aware. In that, her not remembering events, didn't neccessarily bar her from having given consent.
But you're right - as someone who suffers from this memory failure, I can well imagine giving consent, meaning to give consent and then subsequently forgetting it. Someone in your position would find that very hard to believe, I reckon you'd be inclined to think if I couldn't remember I'd be in no position to give consent. I would imagine though that this and the legal implications were covered thoroughly at trial.
