    Never been on Twitter but I see why people are always demanding tech giants do more to expose the perpetrators of such vile and malicious content. Is it the sheer volume of or inability to trace that prevents prosecutions? People surely can’t be saying that sort of thing without Law getting...

    Beyond reasonable doubt (of a jury, many of whose don’t take it seriously and just want out asap or are full of prejudices themselves as we all are probably). It’s amazing anyone gets convicted of anything these days, especially given the growing fractures along tribal lines is considered...

    Sorry. Understood. I don’t know anywhere near enough about criminal or civil law to really have an informed opinion. Only a moral one. It does seem daft you can be guilty in one but not the other for such a serious offence. I guess that’s why he won’t show any remorse. Because that’s admitting...

    Interesting point Lawro. There is a basic premise in life that is no matter how great the crime, forgiveness is often granted if that person is highly valued for their skills / money making ability. Just ask all those Nazi’s post WW2, that sort of thing.

    Maybe as part of his supervision he’s restricted on those things? Do you know? Anyway, we can all have our opinions, but the club haven’t done anything wrong. In fact they’ve done precisely what society principles encourages them to do ie rehabilitate offenders. Big risk to their public image...

    As you say, different laws for different countries. Scotland isn’t very tough on its criminals by sounds of but then that’s none of our business. As they frequently remind us.

    But isn’t it their prerogative as to whether he should or should not given in the eyes of the law he’s allowed to? I would question why they’d want to do that more, given he’s not exactly say in some back office out of sight but open to abuse in a very public way with a very high profile...

    How do you know he hasn’t, and is that conditional (genuine question) as part of former prisoners reform and if so how is it judged or measured? Sorry, not familiar with the inner most details of justice system. My basic understanding is you’re allowed to work again with exceptions to certain...

    Got to rehabilitate criminals into society. If he’s served his sentence, he gets a 2nd chance and someone’s provided him with. That’s how our society rules work. Equally if a sponsor decides to pull their support then that too is their prerogative. I don’t see the controversy really. Tony Adams...
