I am sure the irony won't be lost on many that the same hate-mob tactics that Evans' supporters have used to discredit his victim have now been utilised by his opponents to prevent him resuming his career. That is not to sanction either but is a fairly telling indictment of the society wherein...

That would be interesting. Pick up the added costs. Lose your sponsors' income. Lose fans through the gate............ Shitty proposition. Who could've seen that coming?

I just think people are so busy chasing their own slice of celebrity that they rarely stop to think of the consequences of their actions. Celebrity because of what you achieve is one thing but it's all made to look so easy on TV and in the press that many seem to think they have a right to it...

I think if that was Evans' advice it was poor. The current review relates to legal process and does not consider innocence or guilt. As for myself, no I don't think I could have been prosecuted. I was just massively insensitive in a way that, given changes in attitude and education, is not...

I think I answered that in a response to someone earlier. If Evans, without admitting guilt, were to say "I have my understanding of what happened and they (the victim and the court) have theirs, but I regret that my actions caused suffering or hurt which was not my intention" then in all...

We will agree to disagree I suspect and it will come down to semantics. My point is that in one case an action is entirely denied while in the other the action is admitted and only the context denied. Using historic injustice as a reason to question another legal decision is tricky. No-one can...

You've been to Guildford then! apology for gallows humour

A good and fair point - it's an outlook that has turned him into a victim though isn't it? Perhaps ultimately the biggest victim of the whole affair and he could have avoided that

Poor analogy. He admits to having sexual intercourse. The issue is whether it was consensual at all stages. A bit like a bomber putting explosives in place then saying because they issued a warning the victims knew what was going to happen and should have left before it went off

Please do read before you respond. His opinion of whether his actions were right or wrong is entirely irrelevant to the fact that a court of law found him guilty of rape. You are (or appear to be) suggesting that because he says it was untrue then it must be so. That is rewriting factual history...

Having been found guilty in court then no matter how I personally interpreted what happened I would consider showing remorse for (the victim) suffering to be the most expedient way of resuming my place in society.

Never doubt that. But we live in a society where we agree to be governed by a system of law. It is what and where it is. Evans is guilty of rape as it stands and people can justifiably respond to that as the factual situation.

You can rewrite history all you want but a court decided that it was RAPE not consensual sex. To that extent his opinion of what happened is an irrelevance and shouldn't in any event prevent him showing contrition to the victim. Words like "I genuinely thought it was consensual but (the court...

Marriage made in heaven :lolol:

Looking forward to reporting of his agent's interview "Ched will rape League One!"

One of the better posts on NSC in recent times.

According to the jury, they got that bit right. It is when the difference between fans and customers becomes crucial. Fans are the ones who can end your career ???

The most disappointing thing is that it surely ruins our chances of offloading COG
