Luke McCormick

[albion534]

Former Plymouth goalie due to be released in June has been on trial with Swindon since the new year on day release, only serving 4 years for killing to people and now he gets to play football, think its sick in my opinion, same as lee Hughes, life bans from the game

BBC Sport - Luke McCormick to join Swindon Town after release from prison

As soon as I saw this thread title, I was expecting "Could do a job?"...

Presume everyone who goes to prison should be banned from undertaking their regular job when released then?

 

[Postman Pat]

So anyone who commits any crime should never be able to work again? They have been to prison and served the time the judge thought was acceptable for the crime. The fact the judge didn't give him longer is the issue, not what they decide to do when they are released.

I am sure he will never forget what he did, and he will be remineded at every game he plays no doubt, but why should he be banned from football when that has nothing to do with his crime.

I may be in the minority here, but I would rather he be doing something that will be of benefit to society than sit at home watching Jeremy Kyle and claiming Job Seekers.

 

[ees complicated no?]

Being a footballer is just like any other job .... do you think once you been to prison you should never work again?

Me too - or couldn't afford his wages

I knew other people would say done his time etc, and yes it's up to the judge etc to determine how long a sentence he gets, just think its disgusting he is out after such a short time for killing 2 young boys and fleeing the scene

You were complaining about him playing football though. The sentence should be longer for such a crime in most peoples view I'm sure.

No it isn't, being a Footballer is a highly paid job that carries with it responsibilities, the hopes and dreams of the fans who pay good money to watch these footballers ply their trade with children in tow who not only look up to these people they "hero worship" them, apart from sport I can think of no other profession where the "customers" will gladly walk around wearing the uniform of the organisation they chose to spend their money at even having the name of a preferred employee on the back.

The man decided he was above the law and killed 4 people in the process, any club hiring him should hang their head in shame.

Did anyone say Paulo di Canio?

Thought exactly the same. Still, I severely hope he has learnt his lesson and I doubt he'll drink drive again....

With all respect, it isn't his fault the criminal justice system is awful.

To be honest, the bloke has done his time. He has the right to work just like anyone else. Would i want him here? No. Not because i don't think he is good enough but because He hasn't played pro football in years.

No but as was stated above, football carries a certain expectation, would people except if maroon king joined us? Or lee Hughes?

People accepted Jara Reyes (and various others over the last few years) who had been convicted of drink driving. The fact that none of them hit or killed anyone is probably no more than good luck.

the national will have a field day with this but he has done his time there is no reason he shouldnt be allowed to try and make it again.......would be a premeirship keeper if he hadnt had been so bloody stupid that night

What's amazing is that it was 3.5 years ago!! Talk about time flies!

Don't think the families of those killed view it as bad luck, do you??
