I note you've left out my comments about this being a general observation - just about the only part of my last comment you omitted. I am not stating facts here merely making observations about how the situation may be perceived by others and whether he could have handled it better. Everyone is...

No - its not "just amazing". You are taking my whole quote completely out of context. The point I was making was ultimately whether Evans would be viewed differently by the public at large whether or not he has been found guilty. He has already been punished and gone to prison. It could very...

I am starting to wonder whether Evans determination to get the verdict overturned is doing more harm than good for him. I think he's restricted by what he can say because of this, but he's served his time and been released. If he'd offered an unreserved apology and got on with his life, I think...

Your missing the point. Evans' behaviour since he was released from prison has adversely influenced public opinion against him. He is a convicted rapist who has refused to speak to the press and except a loaded tabloid style interview with his weepy girlfriend. For what is worth, yes, I think he...

That may very well be the case. But it is not apologising to the victim - even if he continues to deny rape he could still show remorse to her. Just saying "I shouldn't have behaved like that" may be good enough for his girlfriend but not for most people.

Evans is undoubtedly a toe-rag and his girlfriend obviously a bit odd too for defending his actions so vehemently. But he has done his time, so technically can work again. My problem is the total lack of remorse he has shown and his constant implication that it is he who is the victim. If he...

Interesting analogy with what's going on out here in the US with the NFL's handling of the Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson affairs. The initial response from the NFL was way too soft on both and they only toughened their stance when footage emerged of Rice banjoing his girlfriend in a lift and...

Sheffield United obviously are, depressingly. The only reason they are thinking of taking him back is because he's got a decent goalscoring track record. The moral compass just doesn't come into it. It would be nice if they made a stand but as with Hughes and McCormack there are enough clubs...

Interesting comparison with what's going on in the NFL at the moment with Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson. Can't see much sympathy for them and the NFL has got into trouble for being too lenient with them. Public outcry was massive.
