Jacques Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 No reason why they cant pass on their best wishes during tomorrows SGP in Germany, failing that Monday`s Sky match at Belle Vue. Seriously!! How do you know they haven't done it personally? I'm very glad she is better, but come on. She hasn't worked for Sky Speedway for a while now, who does it please, you and few sad old men? Give over! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the greatest thing to wish a former fellow commentator all the best, given the circumstances. Might be some people who are with The Return and Jacques, but the lass has gone though enough and we should be pleased she is going to be alright. St Jimmies to the rescue again.

Take your point but we don`t know Charlie was paid for her interview and if she was she may have donated to one of the charities she supports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Red Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Pleased to know she's recovered well I wonder if she will now make a public apology to Ched Evans? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Pleased to know she's recovered well I wonder if she will now make a public apology to Ched Evans? Cannot see why she should. Irrespective of the verdict, there are still aspects of his behaviour that night which many would find disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cannot see why she should. Irrespective of the verdict, there are still aspects of his behaviour that night which many would find disgusting. No doubt but at the same time she had no right to get involved in something she had nothing to do with her ....as most people said at the time her sole purpose was to get limelight for herself so she could play the victim . common sense told most people that verdict was Wrong and Charlie should have looked at that at the time before trying to destroy someones life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cannot see why she should. Irrespective of the verdict, there are still aspects of his behaviour that night which many would find disgusting. if you ask me EVERYONE behaved badly that night - both footballers, the others trying to film and the girl too. However Evans paid a very heavy price but should now be free to carry on with his life. IMO there was some hysteria at his release - at least 2 pro footballers have caused death and been imprisoned - neither was subject to such a reaction on their release and played professionally again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Charlie Webster is not alone many were determined to make him suffer over and above what has now been shown to be an unjustified prison term. Jessica Ennis Hill comes to mind !! Are people still saying that it was totally in order to ruin his career even now he has been found not guilty.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else did he do so wrong or disgusting?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Her opinion meant little after she was tweeting about mike tyson being a hero of hers or something, a convicted rapist who never had his conviction overturned 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just a note to those who quoted my post - I have NOT expressed a personal opinion. The decision is Charlie's to make. I do wonder what the outcome of the re-trial would have been had it taken place in Scotland where a 'not proven' verdict is available. Being found 'not guilty' is frequently expressed as 'innocent' when there are often grey areas involving 'reasonable doubt'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 There`s a Ched Evans thread already opened on the General Discussions part of the forum, maybe those who want to post about the Evans trial could post on there, and leave this one for those who would like to wish Charlie well on her continued recovery. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
