What so many people seem to miss, and fat slob pointed it out in his article, is that Ched has harmed SUFC. Instead a lot of people are blaming the victim, the jury, the judge, the British justice system, Ched's lawyer, the cps, the people of Rhyl. Even before the case, even if he wins his appeal (which I sincerely hope he does), in fact even had he been found innocent, this whole case has damaged the reputation and standing of the club.
I know a lot of people rubbish the idea of footballers being role models, but they are public figures who have a personal fan base - one that includes children. I'm not expecting them to be vicars in red and white stripes, but for God's sake, there was very little he did that night that could be considered acceptable to normal society and I presume that was typical for his lifestyle.
So where's the disgust and the outrage? Too many have appointed themselves judge and jury after the event and are dragging us further into the muck with their vocal support for a convicted rapist - and for what? It's not going to do any good - the only people who can help him now are his lawyers. Let them get on with it and instead busy yourselves with repairing the damage done to SUFC.
Venting your own personal fury at the verdict in any sort of public manner - forums, twitter, clapping at the game, etc etc, simply gives fuel for the likes of Samuels and keeps us in the news over this.
The best things that can happen, at least the things I am hoping for, are:
Ched wins his appeal. Hurray.
Everyone stops going on about Ched being innocent in public Fora (? Furums). It doesn't help.
We get promoted. No one will blame anyone for blowing it at the last moment and, well, I couldn't cope with being consined to another season in division 3 by the pigs.
We get promoted this weekend. My nerves couldn't stand a last day.

Selly
Ask me about Updog...
I'll accept 3 points ahead by the end of this weekend. Given our Goal Difference advantage...not entirely done and dusted.

I don't think that's statistically possible.
Wed lose, Utd win = 4 points ahead
Wed lose, Utd draw = 2 points ahead
Wed draw, Utd lose = equal points
Wed draw, Utd draw = 1 point ahead
Wed Win, Utd draw = Wed 1 point ahead
Wed Win, Utd. lose = Wed 2 points ahead.
You missed out Wednesday draw, United win

Edit - post cancelled. Didn't notice someone else had already posted what I was going to say!
and Wed lose, Utd lose = Utd 1 point ahead
Wed win United win = Utd 1 point ahead
Basically there are 9 possible outcomes of Saturday and we will still be ahead in 7 of them.
There, doesn't that make you feel good

By 'eck, you're right.
Wed draw, Utd win = Utd 3 points ahead.
Sackcloth and ashes for me!

The fat cunt writing in The Times today about the unfairness of being the underdog . Just a bit of the article below.
So it’s a racket and those on the inside know how to work the system, while those outside watch, astonished by the audacity of it all. The latest suggestion is that Palace may take legal action over the delay in Uefa’s ruling on Lyon, although their own plea for Uefa to set aside its March 1 deadline may count against that. And if you think it all sounds as if they make it up as they go along, according to who is the richest, the most powerful and most politically astute, you may know much more than you think.
