palmer1 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah Our legal system gets it wrong sometimes but overwhelming its a successful system. I have no issue with his early release, being out on license or the law not banning him from professional sport. If Ched Evans was remorseful & sorry and understood what he did was awful I wouldn't have much of a problem* with the club signing him on the same bases I was ok* with us signing Lee Hughes. OR if he was found not guilty... *There is more to it than that but I wouldn't be so angry about it. This is the issue with what you are saying, a few have been told the same. if he is remorseful for the crime he was convicted of then he admits guilt which he cannot do and fooks his appeals. He still states he is innocent. whether you agree or disagree with that, fine thats your opinion but you know and understand why he isnt doing? he does not control the behaviour of other perople on twitter. he may yet come out and ask for attacks etc to be stopped in the press conference but he doesnt have to. He is not instigating them he is purely sticking to his innocense claim which he will do until all appeals are done. There is a chance he will win his appeals remember. I dont want him but im not dead against it as the law says he can continue his career. I wish it was elsewhere but that does not look likely. I wont support him but I will support Oldham Athletic. I wonder again about the uproar in 12 months when he signs for Blackpool or Sheff Utd again. I just wish we didnt take all the :censored:!

Postman Matt Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Anybody wanting to sacrifice there season ticket PM i will have it.. Some of the reactions on here from fully grown men have been embarrassing to say the least. One thing that i dont think anyone has picked up is the father-in-law angle. This man is not wet behind the ears he has built up a fairly successful business empire and has publicly backed Ched and his daughter.... He more than anyone else will know absolutely all the facts including things not in the public domain and for the man to stand by him and not disown his daughter speaks more volumes than any of the consipiracy theorists out and before anyone says it his route into football i am pretty his company have a long standing arrangement with Bolton Wanderers. Finally to those who say they will never go again....see you at Wembley in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown23 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Our legal system doesn't require him to be. No, but for him to be a rehabilitated member of society that poses no further risk to women he needs to understand how his actions led a jury and a judge to believe he raped someone. If he doesn't realise what he did was vile and disgusting (whether you think he raped the girl or not, surely you can't deny his actions were pretty disgusting?) then he hasn't learnt one jot from the whole ordeal. He can still maintain he's innocent and proceed with his appeal but he needs to show an understanding of why his actions were wrong. He hasn't done that so he hasn't been rehabilitated and isn't. Yes, he can't control what people write on twitter but distancing himself from it and that ridiculous website, as well as showing some decency towards the victim he will, at least, show that he understands the seriousness of the situation, a situation caused by how he acted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the only reason was so Barry could now say he represented over 2000 fans.... Chickens have come home to roost on that one...

oafc_lover Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Some of you are acting like a cure for cancer has been found and the club are refusing to give it us. They've done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law. We now have on our books a quality quality striker. People worshiped Baxter. Didn't he deal drugs whilst at Everton? People sang Hughes' name, he ended a life and :censored:ed off from the scene. It's happening so get your dummies back in and support this fantastic team because they may just do something this season. They need us to rally together more than ever now.
