Doom   10 #74 Posted November 11, 2014 And Bert McGhee as barrier inspector,? it's awfully risky upon that high horse.  Peter Swan to deal with match day betting.  Nile Ranger and Gary Madine to deal with match day health and safety issues.  There are an awful lot of footballers with tainted pasts, some are repeat offenders like Ranger and Madine.  I was more disappointed with United signing King than I would be with Evans, because I don't see Evans as any sort of future threat, whereas King is a nasty piece of works.  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Doom   10 #77 Posted November 11, 2014 So you compare "match day betting" with rape?  I consider them both to be criminal offences.  I consider Gary Glitter to be worse than any of them, but his name keeps getting dragged up in this thread.  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petcharlie   10 #78 Posted November 11, 2014 I think that the 150000 are saying that Evans should never play professional football again.You might as well say that any convicted person should never work again in whatever job or profession they were previously employed in. The gravity of his offence was reflected in his sentence which he has served.I am sure that he is probably less likely to get involved in such an incident in the future than say Madine or Terry will continue with their loutish behaviour.Madine was welcomed back at Wednesday and would have been welcomedback by the fans if he was capable of banging in a few goals. (I am a Wednesday supporter by the way) Let United make their own balanced decision on behalf of the club and fans and if they decide to back Evans and he can cope with the inevitable barracking that will come his way ,good for them. What a sensible post you are spot on in my view.Every person coming out of prison are free to take up ANY employment they wish (As long as it is not seen as putting anybody in danger due to the kind of offence he is supposed to have committed ).He his being treated no different than anybody else.Why oh why dont people wait until the new hearing as been concluded .There are a lot of people out there who are not involved with football but feel uneasy about this conviction.Lets see what happens before we make up our minds.I believe there will be a lot of apologies due which ever way it goes.If it goes Evans way good luck to him if not then he should be shown the door.I also feel that Utd may have some inside info or have some idea which way the hearing might go but will wait like we all should before making any commitment.

rossyrooney   12 #79 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Bert McGhee was a penny pinching ex chairman of S.W.F.C. who, despite being told twice by Sheffield Police and the F.A. that the Leppings Lane end crush barriers were unfit for the job they were there for, flatly refused to sanction any money to make them safe, this was after fans were injured in two previous Semi Finals and going a long way to account for the deaths of Ninety Six innocents in 1989. His actions in the weeks following are beyond a normal persons understanding, one of the first things he did was to ask the F.A. for financial help because Leppings had to be temporarily closed and finances to make safe the ground.  What was he convicted of by Thatchers Boot Boys? ... nothing, they were all too busy getting their heads together to blame someone else.  McCabe employs a convicted rapist.  What do I think? I think that they are millionaires who listen to no one, are arrogant and don't give two hoots what is considered fair by Joe Public.  Sheffield football is a laughing stock and the likes of Evans need their bo****ks ripping off.  That's my opinion kid ... Make of it what you will while you're up there on your high horse, one thing, don't ever tell me what my opinions are.

petcharlie   10 #81 Posted November 11, 2014 Why should Evans still be able to play professional football?  Why shouldn't he ?Football is not a profession which is closed to sex offenders is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
canadablade   10 #82 Posted November 11, 2014 Not sure how Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter got onto this thread and not Jimmy Saville FFS ... This is a thread about Ched training with United if indeed he even is and no need to bring washing machine into it or the betting owls of the 60's or that bloke who broke into the post office. Think its time to take a step back and see what United do and then vent your rage and disgust etc Lee Hughes anyone ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
JFKvsNixon   11 #83 Posted November 11, 2014 Why shouldn't he ?Football is not a profession which is closed to sex offenders is it?  I answered that question here:  It should be. He's brought his profession into disrepute, he should be expelled from it.  Not all other professionals are censured by their professional bodies for being a potential threat to someone. Bringing your profession into disrepute is enough sometimes.  It'll be easy to bring about for footballers. Every footballer has to be registered, if you commit a serious crime, the FA then decide if you can continue to hold a registration or not.

Doom   10 #84 Posted November 11, 2014 Lee Hughes anyone ?  I was at the ice hockey a couple of years ago when Lee Hughes was one of the guests of honour for the Nottingham Panthers and did the pre game puck drop.....I don't think anybody there had done their research.  Whilst I think Evans should be allowed to play football again, I do think he should take as low a profile as possible, wherever he ends up.  Regards  Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
