I'd rather we signed Obika, or even Best, than Evans.

Doesn't the appeal just determine whether there is a re-trial or not ?

:facepalm:

Actually it does. The purpose of the police interview is not as a neutral arbritation to establish the truth. Sadly ( and this where the system needs root and branch reform ), it is to build a case against the accused. Tapes of interviews are gone over with a fine toothcomb in order to see if...

He's too poor a player for what we need up front, now we are top of the league.

No he couldn't. Without considering anything else, 23 goals in 99 Championship appearances ( and 1 goal in 26 PL appearances ) is not the record of a striker that we should be looking to sign.

Strewth. You'll get a certain NSC poster suggesting we sign him again now.

Would be interesting to know if bhafc6 has been trolling this thread.

Of course, this ruling mob is a fantasy, and nowhere to be seen in reality ( unless you hold the view that, by definition, all petitions are some sort of 'mob rule').

Sadly this thread should run out of steam pretty soon, as it's just going around in circles now. The one on the Oldham board is only running at about 1000 posts more than this one. It'll take another side to try and sign Evans to get many more postings on this thread, until his case review...

Not good from Taylor.

No never. But, surely it seems a more sensible approach to ask the author directly than to get posters on here to guess his evidence, meaning, or thought processes ? The author now has no means of reply to your slant on his article.

Why not comment on the article directly, or ask the author to clarify your points ?

You keep missing my point entirely which was that you cannot say that those who oppose Ched Evans' signing at Oldham, approve of someone else being raped. It simply is not true.

OK, I agree if we can take the general view that signing any petition is defined as 'mob rule'

That's all good, but my post was specifically referencing your words 'So the objectors are against rape but only in certain cases.', which, as I say, really cannot be claimed in all seriousness.

I've yet to see anyone in favour of 'mob rule' myself.

That's not likely to be remotely true if you think about it.

Thankfully our supporters weren't put in this position. The latest is that it seems Oldham have pulled back from the abyss. Sensible rethink in my opinion.

Disgusting, morally bankrupt little club.
