Ched Evans back in football

[Bluebirds10]

CHED EVANS is being offered a way back into football by Oldham Athletic -- with a chance to re-start his career after being jailed for rape.
Evans has spoken to the League One side for a second time and they are now willing to take him on despite other clubs being hounded for giving him an opportunity.
To be announced today should be interesting

Was it Oldham that gave lee Hughes his first contract after jail?

I think on the face of it Ched Evans' career is over.

No team wants the bad coverage, which shows there is a shred of decency left in football. Just have to feel for Evan's if he is, as he says, innocent.

[JamesWales]

This is how justice works.

Evans should have an opportunity to play football again, the samr as any person who has served their time for an offence should be allowed to continue their career.

[Father Dougal]

I think on the face of it Ched Evans' career is over.On the other side of the coin he is now back playing at exactly the same level he was before he committed the crime......

[Father Dougal]

This is how justice works.Indeed- for me it really is that simple.

[surge]

What's the point? He's appealing so wait for the end of the appeal and then we don't have to have months and months of this story, I guarantee nothing is going to happen until then.

But the thing about employment is that he doesn't have to be a footballer. If you went to a jobseekers benefit meeting and said "Sorry, I cannot seem to get another job in football, so I'm unemployed", they'd probably laugh at you.The modern day footballer does lead a privileged life, there's no escaping that. Regardless of how much money they earn, I'd still consider it a jolly to have a knockabout twice a week and get paid for it.

Indeed- for me it really is that simple. Once he comes out I expect he will be fully entitled to make music and try and sell it.

Micheal Jacksons estate still making money from his music.Got a bad press after he died.

Happy for Ched. Hopefully he starts banging them in (http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif)and Wales will have an actual striker back on their hands! Good news all round!

Good luck Chedwyn!

Welcome back Ched, anyone who's done even the slightest amount of research knows he's innocent

I wouldn't want to go and see Watkins perform or indeed buy any of his material.

Not because he's a child abuser, but for the pure reason he's f*cking shit.

It must be a right kick in the teeth for the poor girl who was subjected to the incident, she would have been just starting to move on with her life and now this happens.......... i bet when she heard the news on the radio she had to pull over to the side of the road in her new " mini cooper " and take 5 mins to compose herself

Two totally different crimes and totally different sentences.All valid points, but it seems that Oldham are willing to offer him a contract, so im not sure whT your point is?

Rocket surgeon http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gifIs that someone who cuts up salad leaves?

[blue matt]

He's be better off finding more suitable employment, like .. licking dogsh1t off the roads. Busy roads. At night. Wearing black.would busy roads have dogsh1t on them ? ? ? surely the nature of a busy road means a dog would have time to do the " biz "

[Ninianman]

Would a middle of the road painter and decorator just paint those white lines in the middle of the road
