I'm sure we had hours of scintillating back and forth on this matter on the old board. Everyone's favourite Chedwyn has had his case sent back to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Board.

What's going to happen when it gets overturned? I don't imagine the hand-wringing and apologies will have the same fervency as some of the earlier reactions. Rename a bunch of stands in his honour?
I'm awaiting another clear victory here, and hopefully the tart will be convicted herself.
His pick of any woman in Sheffield should suffice.
He'd sooner stay inside.
Yeah, fair point.
She didn't even claim she was raped - the police did - so there's absolutely no reason to have a dig at her.Originally Posted by QE Harold Flair
Only thing that bothers me is that THE MIGHTY BLADES were the last club he played for, so we get brought up in all this shit every time he gets a mention.
She could have said she wasn't. That's what a normal person who wasn't raped would do.
Well she couldn't remember what happened so said that and the police deduced, then a court decided, that she was raped. Whether she was or not - and I'm inclined to think she was until they decide otherwise - it's not really her fault that she couldn't remember anything. Shit, she only went to the police in the first place because she'd lost her bag. Baffled at what there is to have a go at her about, unless you're just being a wind up merchant.
It's quite amazing when you think about it. Still, the pictures clearly show her going back to a hotel room with Evans of her own free will. And she didn't look so out of it that she would remember nothing.
Imagine if the roles were revered - would the police be checking if the man was raped? Be laughed out of court. Equality does not exist.
Not with Evans, with McDonald.
I really hope this is overturned so that we see Harold digging up his "victory", which consists of his complete failure to understand the law and subsequent attempts to dig himself out of a hole by pretending he was talking solely about this case and not rape in general.
He was also accused, lest we not forget.
You can't tell what someone's going to remember from when they were drunk by looking at them.
She claimed her drink was spiked - a claim which has bben refuted since no traces of any kind of date rape drug were found in her system. Besides, if she was able to walk in to the room unaided then how can you argue she was in no fit state to give consent (as if anyone ever actually does that).
Oh good. Harold being confused about rape is at least mildly more entertaining than his million bigotry threads.
See, saying something doesn't make it so.
If that's true, I'm not sure how that's meant to discredit her. I very much doubt she said with 100% confidence that her drink was spiked - how could she possibly know? I'd imagine that she was speculating as to why she was so hammered and couldn't remember much.
Figured I'd throw in a token link to http://www.chedevans.com/

McDonald is now working with my step-father.
This is roughly equivalent to preferring horse shit over cow shit.
Oh aye? What's he doing? Doesn't look like his football career has been up to much.
Favourite part of the Chedevans website is the CCTV footage of him feeding seagulls earlier on in the night with the caption along the lines of "Is THIS something a rapist would do?"
True. But when horse shit is pretty much pouring down, stepping on a pile of cow shit will provide a momentary distraction.
She's floundering about trying to make excuses instead of accepting she fucked 2 men because she wanted to and felt shame afterwards.
Course is isn't a rapist would only feed lions.

His conviction has been quashed and he's getting a new trial.
Thank god Harold is banned.
It hasn't been quashed. Apparently new evidence was introduced after the sentencing that has lead to a re-trial.
It's been quashed.
Looking forward to HBO's new series MAKING A RAPIST.
Interesting case. On one hand, the predictability of certain types to assume Ched is a proper legend who definitely got stitched up is gross, but anyone even remotely questioning the veracity of his guilt being accused of being a victim-blamer is annoying as fuck. I genuinely had a conversation with someone who tried to claim questioning the truth of any rape claim is unacceptable. Why is it so difficult for people to have nuanced opinions?
I think what bothered me about the original thread on TD was the attitude that "The jurors saw more than what we did, therefore we're stupid to question their verdict". Miscarriages of justice happen too often to have that idealistic view.
I found it quite hard to care about what happened to such an obviously horrendous person.
yet you still cared enough to make a post about hating him
All the effort of a single sentence post, what a contradiction I am.
bye
If he ends up off and it is proven she lied to have him originally convicted then hopefully she ends up where he was.
Didn't realise he raped her in a Premier Inn. Pretty dece place to get raped, rather than your stereotypical alleyway or taxi. No wonder he got out half way. Good stuff.
He clearly still reads, but I'm amazed that it took Harold so long to post again.

He's finally found a club. Signed for Chesterfield.
Akinfenwa must be fuming.
Odds on him being League One top scorer next season?

Oh my shit.
Bring Harold back immediately.
Sheffield United should rename that stand.
Him getting sent down is basically the reason we didn't go up, which is now even more annoying. We got 1 point from our last 4 games after he got done.
Bigger picture though, and all that.
Does she get charged now then?
It should def. work that way.
Should it? Really?
What they've proved is that, based on all the evidence, it isn't sufficient to convict him. That's it.
