Neither Ennis or Webster should have to issue an apology. They were hounded by the press for being high-profile, (well in Ennis' case anyway) females associated with SUFC. They were backed into a corner and responded exactly as they were expected to. If they chose not to comment then the Hatchett's of this world would have rounded on them and derided them as women......neither was ever going to win!

I'm not sticking up for them at all, I don't particularly like either of them (and didn't prior to Chedgate) but to hound them for an apology is a waste of time!

Heaton on the other hand is an interesting one and I wouldn't have expected him to get involved at all....but I suppose as he's a lad and a Blade he will be let off the hook.

I presume you're referring to me, unlike the Katie Hopkins etc of this world I'm not hounding them for an apology but think it would be a good thing for 1. Hypocrisy/ignorance of Marlon King 2. Their statements being unnecessarily damaging. Its not going to happen, so I'll leave that there

Nor am I saying that Ennis etc should have said nothing. 'I personally disagree with the course of action the club is taking and urge them to reconsider, but I respect people's right to an opinion and their right to make the decision they see fit, as well as the legal right of a convicted criminal to seek and be given employment in line with the law'. That would have kept the mob at bay and caused less damage for the club without damaging her IMO

He is not "a convicted criminal" anymore, conviction quashed means just that.
Leave the guy to rebuild his life.

My comment was in the past tense referring to when he was, and when Ennis etc made their statements back in 2014.
 
Don't want to get dragged into all the raking up past and crap that surrounds the situation, but of all of the profile (community foundation) patrons and 'celebrities'...

Jess actually dealt with it in the most professional manner of them all, including the way in which she communicated with SUFC.

She's the last one that should be attracting some of the crap she has.
 
Was about to make a new thread, but thought better of it...

Anyway, I've just had the displeasure of reading (some of) a VERY questionable article on Huffington Post re: Ched - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/chr...html?utm_hp_ref=uk&ncid=fcbklnkukhpmg00000001

I only made it around a third of the way through before the inaccuracy "Even at his ‘peak’ at Bramall Lane, he scored 13 goals in 67 Championship games; very much a League One specialist even back then" pissed me off.

I'm not even sure this is a good idea, given the current Poll re: links to the Star's website. But in the interest of practicing what I preach - free speech and the belief that a forum should be a just that, a forum for open discussion, - here we are. Have at it...

Those who follow Huff on fb will know how completely irrelevant it now is. Once credible, I switched off when it turned into OK mag. don't rise to it, this is a massively biased and under researched article.
 
Is there any chance of an interview with our new signing.

Be interesting to here his take on signing again and how fit he feels

The Huffington post lol.

They are far to the left of Stalin, totally worthless opinion.
 
I'd bet that Ched will score more goals next season than Rhodes :D
 

Booker4 said:
Best thing is they are committed to spending £9m on Rhodes now and he's been dire! That said he is better than what they've seen this season, their tactics are so defensive.

Love to be in the room when he signs that cheque.

That's got to be one of the worst things to have to do?

Best part of £10M on a useless turd.

Love it.

I see Ched has decided it would be a good idea to talk to the press about (amongst other things) women 'putting themselves in danger' by drinking too much.

He's not the sharpest knife, is he?

Makes you wonder what his agent is doing for him that's for sure. I also have a sneaking suspicion this is an interview that's been held back somewhat from a while ago, seems to have been put on a bit of a short leash by United since signing with no actual interview to RS etc - I'd be surprised if they'd sanctioned him to do this, hence my reservations that he's not given it recently.

Honestly, nope. I was always the "you're really nice, funny" one, even pity sex was a bridge too far. Hey ho, doesn't matter now, just have to re-hypnotise Ms Crab every once in a while ;)

I think you're spot on here, I seem to recall these comments being made somewhere a while back out of context. The Daily Star has spread rubbish about him in the past (including from his so called close aunt) so I doubt he would confide in them such pearls of wisdom

It's shit like this which meant I didn't want us to sign him.

Local media have had a ban on interviewing him since he's signed, yet he's happy to have a word with The Times about a pretty damn sensitive subject.

What would've been so hard about saying "I don't wish to discuss anything around that now. I just want to get my head down and concentrate on football. Thank you"...?

It seems like a regurgitation of an old story but with a very similar set of quotes, the media is having a field day. Where is the evidence that he's been interviewed? The Telegraph say it was the Times, the Mail says it was the Star. Smells of fake news to me.

That said, wouldn't be surprised if he was that stupid, and can understand why people feel vindicated about not wanting Evans back for this sort of reason.

I think a comparison can be made with Evans and Trump, in that the media and establishment are out to get them rightly/wrongly, sadly this is the price we pay.

(This will sound ridiculous, and is a conspiracy theory with no evidence, but is it just a co-incidence that this comes out the day after the other team in Sheffield failed in the play-offs?)
