Yes. Not sure where it will all end. Do these people want him banned from EVERY club? In the UK, or abroad too? Banned just from football, or ANY sport? Or just banned from anything, everything, forever.
He should be allowed back into society because he's served his time but just not as a footballer, would a policeman be allowed back in the police force if he had broke the law in such a anus way? And yes it's getting boring but if the court of appeal decides differently this will go on for years
there's a huge amount that could be said on this issue. personally I do not believe that, as a convicted rapist, Evans should be allowed to play football professionally again and would not want him at GTFC EVEN if it guaranteed promotion. I think Football 365 summed it up perfectly:
"Employing Evans sends a deeply flawed message. It declares that as long as you are gifted you are untouchable, that being good at football gives you an automatic right to be a footballer. And that we care more about our team winning a match than anything else."

Sorry but if it guaranteed promotion i would have him here.

Sign him up! He could be a new Lee Hughes, feeding off the abuse he gets to perform better. Hughes' crime was much worse yet he's still been able come back and complete a pretty successful career. It personally doesn't bother me if Evans was a convicted rapist or not, I don't know him personally and neither am I ever going to. I don't want to. But if he'd be willing to put in a shift for the club then why should we care about what goes on in his life outside of football. There is already a long-established justice system to take of criminals, it shouldn't be anybody else's business to take of it.
