Maybe this was also some sort of ‘test’ for SL to see if he would have a free hand to make the signings he wants. I’d imagine SL had been uneasy about the signing but sanctioning this now gives Pearson the green light to build HIS team. My personal view about Simpson is that people should be given a chance to rehabilitate themselves. Around 1 in 3 men in this country have a criminal conviction in their lifetime!! Give the guy a chance. Yeah and I bet some of those are the first to say men's mental health is awful in this Country. The guy made a mistake, when drunk, he had the punishment. He doesn't need his entire career and life taken from him. Cancel culture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a teacher, social worker, police man, any job that requires a DBS check he would have lost his career. As football has no morals he’s fine to carry on.

If someone slaps or does worse to a child during their career in childcare, yes you are correct they forfeit that career for life. If their career choice poses no harm to vulnerable people then they are free to return to that career generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Blokes a woman beater, will get no support from me. Pond scum. We could sign Nile Ranger and people would say give him a chance. I'm disappointed by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 2 hours ago, Globe Trotter said: Domestic abuse victims are often abused and assaulted many, many times before they have the courage to call for help either from the police or a support organisation. On average a domestic abuse victim would suffer 35 incidents of abuse / violence before calling the police for help (this figure is from memory 10 years old, it is probably higher now). Domestic violence victims will often be controlled and coerced emotionally and financially (not just physically) so serial abuse in a domestic violence context is not always easy to identify or prosecute. Domestic abuse perpetrators often attempt to minimise their behaviour and actions by blaming alcohol, drugs, upbringing, or anything else to deflect responsibility and/or blame the victim. Each case should be treated individually- you can’t say because of a trend it has happened here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can quite confidently say that “one off” domestic abuse cases are almost as rare as rocking horse shit. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have been trying to draw a parallel with the Orr, Brooker case. Well firstly fighting bouncers outside of a pub certainly isn’t clever but for me it isn’t remotely in the same league as beating a woman. Secondly Orr became a born again Christian after the incident & appeared genuinely remorseful, this individual continued to give it the big “I am” and got out of his community service. It sends out a terrible message, especially after recent events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this before but I’ll say it again now it’s confirmed; less than 2 weeks ago there was a well publicised mass demonstration against male on female violence. This decision is utterly tone deaf.
