losesome Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 IF the talk of Latics now having a board meeting to decide whether to continue with Evans signing or not is true then it really does show what a pathetic mis-managed club this is. All this should have been done BEFORE offering Evans a contract. What would the fans reaction be , how would sponsors accept it , how would it affect the other players in the squad and more importantly was the manager up for it. To now discuss these issues after news has broken is without doubt so naive it is almost unbelievable. Latics - i have supported you for 50 years , i am not bothered if we sign Evans or not but you truly are a PATHETIC football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chaplain Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Some of the hypocrisy on this thread is to be frank,appalling- Remember this? 'Let him without sin cast the 1st stone'. Everyone deserves a second chance- remember Lee Hughes???? It's interesting that this quote from Jesus, speaking in John's gospel, has come up several times on this thread. The story (in John chapter 8) is of the religious people who were trying to trap Jesus into permitting them to carry out capital punishment against Roman law. They were asking if they could stone a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. In other words this woman was just a pawn in their attempt to catch out Jesus. In the case before us here there is a woman also who has not been very prominent in our discussions. According to law she is the victim here. She might also be portrayed as a pawn. But surely any rehabilitation of an offender has to give at least equal if not more consideration to the victim herself. What would we be saying to her and to other vulnerable women if we were to give this person "a second chance"? I do not express a public opinion. But I simply point you to the Scripture.

Can we not have every one in the whole :censored:ing country having a go at me personally because I support OAFC? Also can we not play this out in public? Finally, can we not have Christmas again?

pukka Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Take away what he has done, or whether he is guilty or not. (Which some refute in spite of him being found guilty) From a PR point, from a fans vs fans infighting point. From a media circus point - HE CANNOT SIGN. Then when you add the rest in.... It baffles me that sone still want him. Edited January 5, 2015 by pukka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It baffles me that sone still want him. And what if he didn't do any wrong,what if he IS innocent?Ask yourself this,has there EVER been a miscarriage of justice in this country?Well,yes there bloody weel has,numerous times! Who are we to be judge jury and executioner? All the Punctuos Pilates on this thread will look like a right bunch of bottom feeders if it ever comes to light he did nowt wrong.

If you believe that we should look for guidance from a 2000 year old fairy story then words fail me! My major concern here is who is running the show at OAFC regarding the team!

josh_latics Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Putting on the moral stuff to one side (which we shouldn't) I can't believe that people still want Evans even if Lee Johnson doesn't. This only ends badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wonderfully tolerant of you! However, it wasn't me who quoted the Bible. Several others have done and I just picked up on it. I wonder why they did?

This only ends badly. More concerning is those who were vocal in support of this are now backtracking because the manager isn't keen on the idea, as if his opinion holds more weight than that of the vast majority of the supporters.
