I'd like to think kids would be more bothered about scoring playground goals than drunk up holes.

Not in a high profile role such as a professional footballer in which youngsters look up to you.

And also given that he has shown no remorse or acknowledged any wrongdoing.


I honestly don't understand this argument. No child, even if they are a fan of Ched Evans, will come to think of rape being acceptable because he was once found guilty of it.

While I'll admit I don't know all the details to the case after looking on his website something just doesn't add up for me. I'm definitely in the he's served his time, let him get on with his life camp. I would have him in a town shirt tomorrow if it got us back into the football league.

Sign a convicted rapist, definitely not, sign someone cleared of rape/criminal offence, yes.

Sign someone who crashed into someone then run away from the scene leaving them to die, never in a million years.


Agree 100%

It has to be said with this there appears to be a large number of armchair judges. If Ched Evans didn't work again what good would that do for society as well. His sentence is punishment done and that punishment isn't a life sentence where he cannot work again. There are people who would be happy for him to go on a building site, yet not play lower league football. There is a lot to be said for letting him get on with it. What he did was atrociously wrong but people cannot rehabilitate from prison unless we allow them to do so. All Evans has ever done is play football. So let him play football

So, your argument would be the same then if a player was to come out as gay, Muslim etc

You are saying players should have cast no sins yet playgrounds were full of beckham, collymore and giggs shirts yet they were hardly angelic

I'm confused, are you saying a child shouldn't look up to someone who is gay or Muslim?

There's being 'hardly angelic' and there's being a convicted rapist.

What's your point about gays and Muslims? Not quite sure what you're getting at but as far as I'm aware being gay or being Muslim isn't a crime. Having gay or Muslim footballers that are public and proud I'd argue would be good for society.

People make mistakes, granted. But going to prison is not just about punishment and serving your time. Even more so it's about reform and accepting the crime you have committed is wrong.


Up The Mariners!

He's hardly going to accept any wrongdoing when he maintains his innocence is he?
