Re: David Goodwillie.

What Ched Evans? The lad cleared in a court of law?

A rapist is he?

What do you mean cleared?

Remember in convictions there are differences between not guilty and innocent. Again I wouldn’t want to say either way but find it crazy how quick people are to white knight him.

Especially with how hard a rape conviction actually is to find enough evidence for.

I wouldn’t be confident enough with the evidence to say he’s completely innocent.

No one should white knight Ched Evans, and I don't think they are, but he was ultimately found not guilty, and missed out on five years or so of his career for it.

It's not asking much for the rule of law to be respected, whether you think he should have been found guilty or not - if you weren't in the hotel room or the jury box, it's best to just respect the decision really.

As for Badwillie, as some said above - he should have seen this coming and stayed at Clyde, where he seems to have been doing very well. Taking into account Raith's sponsor, this was always a very likely outcome.

I don’t think anyone is white knighting him but you can’t go around calling someone a rapist when he’s had his conviction quashed in the court of law.

One thing that’s never sat right with me, and I also say this as the father of two daughters, is why does it only seem to be how inebriated the woman is that gets taken into account? What about the man? Why couldn’t they both be too drunk to make a rational decision? If two drunken people get it on why is the man automatically a rapist and the woman the victim?

Why do people keep replying when you don't respond to them?

Evans getting a good reception was one of the low points of the CCS history. It wasn't as if he was a big Welsh hero, he has 13 caps.
