Think he's the worst kind of evil
Probably didn't get great service playing in a struggling Chesterfield side (didn't they get relegated when he was with them?) whilst the Championship is another level. Maybe a thriving L2 outfit would suit him better and bring his confidence back and, given how Lee Hughes was so well received here, he shouldn't have to worry about Notts fans giving him a chance.
No she didn’t. Plain lies like this are what makes the Evans case so infuriating. The girl has never accused Ched Evans of raping her. The Crown Prosecution Service did. It’s a really important distinction.
I think the problem with the Evans case is that it’s all so murky and ambiguous. It’s not a case of either he did it or he is completely innocent. What Evans actually did is a matter of public record and isn’t denied by him. It’s all there for people to make up their own minds on.
The court case, by and large, was to decide whether this legally crossed the threshold of being a crime. I wouldn’t be surprised that if you tried him 100 times, he was found guilty in half of them and not guilty in the other half, it’s an incredibly ambiguous area of the law.
My personal view is that what Evans did was abhorrent. It almost doesn’t matter whether it was illegal or not, it marks him out as scum IMO.
That said, I also respect the eventual decision of the court and the fact that Evans actually served time. I’ve got no objection to him continuing his career, whether at Notts or elsewhere. If he does sign for us then I’ll happily support him as a footballer. That doesn’t mean I like him or think that he’s some kind of martyr.
I can definitely see how and why he is more difficult for some people to accept than someone like Hughes, whose case was completely black and white.
