    Of course but he'll be getting paid as well as any of the top earners in Ireland.

    Would he really? Considering the cost of living over there? I suppose they may be paying for his accomodation.

    Be interesting to know what kind of money a 3rd division Norwegian team would be on. To put it in perspective ... a burger, chips and a pint in Norway could cost €29. If you could get them to pay accommodation you could make a nice few quid over there for a few seasons.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    They're a management company, they're full entitled to speculate.

    What on earth are they thinking putting up something like that? Who thought it was appropriate?

    Very good article actually. The amount of self righteous crap people are spouting about that Evans fella is truly ridiculous.
    The point about the other 2 lads who killed people with their cars is particularly relevant.
    It appears society can forgive someone for driving drunk and killing 2 children but not some dope who stirred the porridge (eeeww by the way!) and then gets convicted of rape cos the poor Young one in question can't remember anything? It's all mad ted!

    Thing is though Evans should have at least came up with a better video to explain himself, it was awful and did him no favours.

    Ignorance on a quite spectacular scale.

    It amazes me the commentary on this case. Tried, convicted, appealed the conviction, appeal failed, appeal for leniancy on sentence, appeal on sentencing failed. Do people go around questioning convictions accross the spectrum or is it just because this fella is a footballer?

    Don't overthink it RAM. It's just misogyny and rape culture. If a girl gets drunk and a load of men have sex with her, she must have wanted it.

    I challenge you to cite one instance where they were thinking.

    This is an odd one, even by the PFAI's standards. Front page, right to left: Player of the year voting, World XI of the year news, nominees for PFA player of the year and then....why the rapist is getting a raw deal. OK then.

    The PFAI putting the old "there's no such thing as bad publicity" adage to the test here. The English press are jumping on it, and not because they think it's such a well written article.
