Careful, he'll accuse you of the same thing in a minute!

I think we need to do everything we can to minimise the chance of wrongful conviction and as you rightly point out that is why the appeals process exists. You would hope that in this case that those who sit in judgement over the appeal will consider what has already been outlined and Ched's argument which is clearly at odds with the verdict. It's an imperfect world and it's very difficult to get many cases with one hundred percent certainty. I have a second cousin who was wrongfully convicted (thankfully not a major crime) and imo it's just as bad as the crime being committed in the first place. I just hope that in this case the decision after the appeal is the correct one.

I think ALL verdicts should be robustly questioned to make sure they stand up in the face of appeals. What I don't do is assume that because someone has been found guilty by a jury that automatically means their judgement is totally infallible. Ever heard of the West Memphis three? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three Now again for those hard of thinking, I'm not saying that in this case the judgement is wrong, simply that a jury handing down a guilty verdict is not absolute proof of guilt.

Stop with the rape apologist stuff. It's clearly made up guff from yourself and frankly makes you look a bit of a tit.

Your cause doesn't seem to be particularly well received.

You may have had a point if you were at another club but saints have made a point of assisting their unsuccessful players to get a club further down the leagues. We have generally treated our cast-offs with respect and helped them. Shame Adam couldn't have acted the same and he will be abused when he plays here. Quite right too.

You speak for me!

The vast majority disagree with you.

You do realise that guan posted continuously itk comments over the entire summer and as such has a proven source within the club? Why would you think he is making it up? Just accept that you are in a very small minority or saints fans who hero worship Adam (or a relative) and let's leave it there.

All I'm saying that the criminal justice system isn't infallible. That's not to say he is innocent in this case, simply that the possibility exists for a miscarriage of justice and the public should bear that in mind when looking at all cases.

I don't know if he is or not but he clearly thinks he is. It's not outside the realms of possibility that he actually is innocent, it's not the first time nor the last that something like that has happened.

Must be difficult to ascertain when the level of consent stops since surely it is different for each individual and each circumstance?

I thought they were changing it?

I don't know about the vilified bit but again no one seems to be able to answer the remorse bit. If in his mind he is adamant that he didn't rape her, why would he show public remorse about it? He is probably more intent on clearing his name for what in his mind is an injustice. If you were in his situation and felt the way that you felt about it would you show remorse?

Will give us a chance to do what we have done so successfully on the pitch and replace someone we didn't know needed replacing with someone better.

I'm disappointed he wasn't forced into gardening leave for six months. Doesn't seem right that he can just take up with Spurs and use all our secrets.

It's all made up by those nasty journalists who get paid for us to fail.

There will be lots of blacks out if you vote ukip

Fair enough but I thought south Africa was an appaling world cup. One of the worst.

Two out of every three should be in an established football nation (possibly in Europe) with the third year saved for taking the game elsewhere within reason. Screw all this taking it to South Africa Russia and Qatar. They have been or will be terrible world cups.

23:01-24 please.

It was indeed for exactly the same reason that Qatar will be absolutely terrible.

In which case their more mad ideas will be moderated, rather like both parties in coalition this time.

He is never going to be in power so who cares if he has a few mad ideas that will never be implemented? That isn't why people vote for him.

If I were him I'd probably go and play abroad.
