Ched Evans - serious injury

[SWP's back]

Or how many rapists are out on the street because their victims were too frightened to press charges. Cuts both ways.

Not Cheds fault. He's not been sent to Earth to carry the can for rapists a la Jesus and sinners.

Nope.

Well let's hope he can throw a few more pearls of wisdom this way then.

I don't think the CPS would have tried the case if he wasn't a footballer either really.

I tend to agree, but there's anecdotal evidence in this thread that the CPS are taking these cases to court on 'flimsy evidence'. I'll be honest - it's worrying

Compared to Bryan riggs the utd legend,Ched Evans has done nowt.he should be able to hold his head high and get on with his football career.just because he left via the fire exit doesn't make him a bad person.
The utd legend shagged his own brothers wife,behind his back,for years, made her pregnant, paid for the termination and was still interviewed by Swansea for the recent, vacant managers job.

Cheddar Evans is innocent. Bryan rings also innocent.

I know which Welsh footballers actions I would say amount to being a ****.

Absolutely this. The lad was a bell end. But that doesn't mean he should have had his career ruined or spent 2 1/2 years locked up for it.

I wouldn't like to be a 20 something single guy over again.

Oh yeah that's great. So the rapists that aren't in prison offset are offset by the ones who are and shouldn't be?

No, none of it is good but both aspects have to be looked at, the way rape is dealt with in this country by the police and the courts is a sick joke for all concerned.

Riggs is an utter ****. Evans is an utter ****.

So just a low life piece of human shit than a rapist then.

A "low life piece of human shit" for shagging a consenting drunk girl, what a bizarre statement.

And yet you think it's hard to feel sorry for him? Do you think being wrongly convicted as a rapist is a small thing? Or losing your career? Or actually going to prison?

So one more message and I'm off. No these are not small things. And yes I can hardly feel sorry for him, but that's not the important thing. It's just my irrelevant and probably stupid opinion if you like.

The main reason I feel discomfort is that this whole debate will now send the wrong message out. Just check out our young player's twitter feed (namely Kean Bryan and Brandon Barker) as they are celebrating the decision referring to some random 'JusticeForChed' accounts. Will young footballers ever read the cited report just to name one? Will they ever read that Evans admitted never to speak to the alleged victim, or that he and his mates were drunk as fuck and shagged an intoxicated woman, or that for whatever reason he left through the fire exit? Or maybe they actually will, along with the line that Evans also said about how footballers being rich mean they could have had any other girl at any other night, and so they will act appropriately. The worst that can happen is that they go on a trial and pay a few quid to some former sexpartners, win the trial and show the video footage to the lads just for the bantz.

And yes I realize this is out of the jury's competence as they only did what they had to, and that they probably (finally) gave out the correct decision. All I want to say is that this whole cause is fucked up and should have been dealt with in a completely different manner (yes, from the starting point when the police accues him and when he was convicted). But now, I'd say even more damage has been done than fucking Evans' professional career. This case won't really help in removing the poisonous footballing culture amongst young players, unless they are educated in some form.
