    If it wasn't for the Daily Wail and the lynch mob, he would have already drifted back into 1st division footballing mediocrity... I can't name a single Oldham player, and I doubt very much that any of the lynch mob that don't want him to play for them could either. But because of the mob continuing to keep him in the public eye he is now one of the most famous footballers in the UK...

    I was stating that people who are screaming and shouting about him not returning to football . Is it because they don't want him to be a footballer or don't want him to have any job at all!!

    You need to combine thrusting with a special crawling motion.

    Boy it would be interesting to see what a lot of the most vocal female (and male I guess) protesters say if his conviction were to be overturned. It's gonna be a bloody strong person to stand up an say you take it all back and have no problems with him and wish him well in his career

    My personal experience with the legal system and profession leads me to doubt they could find their rear end with a lit firework poking out of it. That is if they could take time off from invoicing their grandmother.

    He is unable to say sorry for committing a crime if he is pleading innocence. He may not want to if he believes himself innocent. He & his friend testified he had consent.

    The reason he wasn't granted an appeal because there is no new evidence, there is no mechanism for retrying a case because they got it wrong.

    now is he an immoral scumbag almost certainly yes. Would I warn my daughters about people like him - definitely. Do I want to see him locked up for an offence I'm not certain he committed - no.

    Do I want to prevent him working when he is legally allowed to because I think I know better? - no

    Is it really?

    So this guy is more likely to rape it again if he does NOT get a football job that pays well, instead he'd be more likely to be a law abiding citizen who stays all his life on unemployment benefits?
