hypochondriac

We have been happy to accept mediocrity for two years at least.

It's weird that soggy keeps talking like everyone is saying what a fantastic person Ched Evans is. No one has said that. I'm not sure there is much or any disagreement at all, he's an idiot and seemingly an unpleasant person. It's the being found guilty of rape and going to prison that was the problem for many. Being unpleasant afterwards isn't relevant.

Crap I meant pellegrino!

That's not a no. I think that theory is becoming more likely.

He wasn't a yes man.

Taking so long to fire pellegrino was he biggest mistake of his tenure. It got to the point where it was farcical.

And the decline of the academy, and the contract extension for Forster.

Well seeing as it's basically Wilson, Reed and Ralph making the decisions apparently, if it continues to be this bad then the other two will hopefully not be too far behind.

Weren't Dodd and Williams loved by the players? Big shame if that was why they left.

So you don't think the majority of people employed by the BBC are left leaning? What planet are you on?

Why are people so unimaginative like this? It's incredibly likely that we will appoint someone from within football that is nothing to do with the club. Its not very likely that we will go looking for people that used to work here, particularly if they are doing well elsewhere.

Hopefully more than one.

A review of the football operations should have taken place at the end of last season. The fact we had to wait until we started this season terribly as well is worrying since it was blindingly obvious that change was needed.

Well thank the lord for that. Slightly bizarre that they didn't do it in the summer though.

Hardly a surprise if true although it should be Reed or Ralph who follow him out the door.

You'd hope that would be the case every week.

Tbf I don't think it's particularly controversial to state that the BBC have a clear left wing bias. People within the organisation have said as much themselves.

Considering trump is literally Hitler it's a rather surprising underachievement for the Democrats. I believe it's the first time in over 100 years that the party in power have gained seats and kept control of the senate and much less seats lost in the house than either Obama or Clinton. Certainly not the "blue wave" the Democrats were hoping for at all. Democrats will probably be praying that Ginsburg doesn't pop her clogs any time in the next two years.

He will face social consequences. Every single person who meets him knows exactly what he did and he should be shamed for his actions. All the money and football in the world won't be able to remove that.

Plus he thinks it's perfectly fine to question the verdict reached in the appeal yet not fine to question the original judgement because that made you a rape apologist.

I outlined extensively why you were wrong above. You have moved from branding everyone rape apologists to concentrating on Ched Evans being a not very nice person- something no one has ever disagreed with. Do you regret branding the people who thought Ched Evans had a good chance at a successful appeal rape apologists? Do you accept that questioning the original verdict based on the facts of the case does not mean you "support" Ched Evan's actions? Is Ched Evans a rapist?

Shudder.

Pretty sure it was the CPS that said she didn't consent not the girl herself as she has no recollection of what occurred. Let's just be clear though that this thread was bumped by soggy because he's embarrassed at his initial reaction which was to scream rape apologist at posters who justifiably thought there was more to this case that could result in a successful appeal. Rather than address that though and maybe approach the matter with a bit of humility considering that those people were entirely correct, he's gone on another cringey and irrelevant rape culture type rant. The facts are: Ched Evans is not a convicted rapist, he has been found innocent of the charge. Ched Evans is a bit of a bellend. Those who thought the original verdict was a bit suspect and that an appeal had a good chance to succeed have been proven right. Those people who shouted rape apologist or other insults at anyone who thought the original verdict was a bit suspect have not only been found to be wrong, but have embarrassed themselves and would probably be respected more if they stayed quiet on the matter. Questioning the original verdict based on the facts of the case does not equal "supporting" Ched Evan's actions. It is possible to be critical of the man's actions whilst being glad that justice seems to have been served and that he has been found innocent of a crime that there was not enough evidence to say beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed. I expect those points will be a bit too nuanced for soggy but hopefully clearer for others to understand.

Diane Abbott has been promoted far beyond her capabilities most likely for ideological reasons

Ched Evans is a bit of a bellend. Not sure anyone has tried to argue otherwise.
