I am sure all the Rovers board, players and fans will be devastated. Just make sure you don't get altitude sickness from you absurd moral high ground.

Make sure you don't watch the football league show either, lest your eyes melt in their sockets at the sight of a convicted felon in a football kit.

Not exactly moral high ground nose bleed time not wanting in any way to support the income of a rapist.
Others might not mind, but the OP does, so fair play to him.

I care about what they think slightly more than I value your opinion. Irrespective of legality, what Evans did was wholly repellent and is made worse by the fact that he just doesn't get that, just as you seem not to. (I wouldn't want to pay to watch you performing either.)

I for one won't watch him play against us or even run the risk,

What risk are you talking about btw?

What would I be performing?

Who says I don't think what he did was repellent? Regardless of whether she consented or not, I think what he did was unpleasant?

Just make sure you don't pay your TV License fee, as the BBC need to pay TV rights to get the football league show. If you have Sky or BT you will probably need to cancel that too.

Risk? I won't watch Oldham whether he on the team-sheet or not. Unpleasant Mr Wolf? You have a rare gift for understatement, but you seem to have a talent for moral gymnastics...and hyperbole.

The only problem then Emre is he might not have enough blood left over to support that massive head of his........

That's a very good point SAF.

Be careful up there OP. Your gargantuan ego will only metaphorically cushion your fall if you slip.

I would have thought the courts would have something to say about this. Yes he has paid his debt, but I am sure he will be subject to a ??? offenders registry.

Please add your word to the front as the idiots at the site say I cannot use the exact word.

If anything like here in the States he is not allowed near schools, parks and especially around children and young people.

I know he assaulted ( raped) a so called adult, but a ??? offenders registry does not discriminate between adults and children.

As there will be kids at the games that should ring warning bells to the Oldham Board.

I am not taking a high moral stand on this, just pointing out the restrictions IF the ??? offenders registry works in the same way.

Does anyone know the law in England?

Hes done his time so should get the chance to redeem himself

Anyway I don't think he's as quilty as people think, we have a real thing about always assuming the victim wouldn't lie. She willingly went to the room with him and probably got so drunk couldn't remember giving consent. I think she's fully aware of what she did and saw her chance.

Why do Americans think the whole world runs the way a very backwards United States runs?

Careful super perfect that's a very dangerous thing to say.

That being said I agree entirely.

Well with the impressionable youth in Oldham watching a convicted rapist playing football, if albirossi considers himself a good looking guy who enjoys a few match day beers I think he has every right not to take the risk.

Good points Yankee. I suspect there will be all sorts of issues. Not that these will trouble the moral midgets who have been regaling us here with their rapier-like wit. (So funny - I laughed until I stopped.) Evans has paid his debt to society but not to the victim. And the fact that his neanderthal supporters have made her life miserable is appalling.

If you're a drunk driver, being drunk has no bearing in your decision to drive a car. So how can you be too drunk to give consent?

How often do you think this happens on a Friday and Saturday night? Half the country would be on the sėx offenders register if this is a precedent!

Fortunately for me I was never the smooth talker able to pull a girl on a night out.

A Super Perfect example of the level of informed comment hereabouts. She didn't go to the room with him, his "friend", with whom she went to the room called Evans to pop along to take his turn.

Newyankee I assume those on the register can still get jobs in shops, shops that children could walk into as customers.

Generally the idea is too bar them from professions where they are a trusted authority figure, like a teacher, rather than work anywhere a child could be present....

Any industry that involves customers can involve children and in much closer proximity as a shop assistant than as a footballer on the pitch with kids in the stands.

If they have to completely avoid children as part of their profession then I am struggling to come up with anything outside of the po rn industry...

I imagine Ched would be barred from teaching for example after his crime though, policing as well.

What the hell do children have to do with this anyway?

"How can you be too drunk to give consent?" That's it for me on this thread. I don't mind exchanging views with others but this sort of bone-headed comment beggars belief.

posted on 7/1/15

So if I have 17 beers or more precisely two glasses of wine, four double vodkas with lemonade, and a shot of sambuca, and drive home - by this logic I'm deemed to drunk to be held responsible for my actions and can thusly get away scot free?
