Your bleeding heart bullshit knows no bounds, R4E;-)
I almost wrote a serious response to this. I think I'll just leave it at 'Don't be so childish'. |

True though. At at time when Swindon should be celebrating, the club has been put into very negative press, for reasons that are above me to be honest. |

Dont want him at the club.
Regardless of the time he's done, the remorse he's shown, the fact he deserved a second chance or his goal keeping ability. I dont want him at the club.
Its bad publicity for the Football Club and its publicity we dont need and shouldnt really want.
In the eyes of other fans and the nationals - both of whom like to exaggerate a story and what not - we've gone from family club of the year to a club that employees murderers.
Oh and just because plenty of you (and other people) were also stupid enough to drink drive without killing anyone - that in no way makes it right! and its certainly not something everyone does.

I know this isn't a done deal, but could someone do a poll, to gauge strength of feeling. In other words how many would do a PaulD Mex etc and knock it on the head. Personally I like Langers point, how could you cheer this fella...if it was Lee Hughes that would do for me, so I guess thois would be the same  |

I'd like to think people could/would still attend matches. I've been going for over 20 years and have actively disliked various members of our squad in that time. No one has to buy a McCormick jersey, or sing his name... this sort of thing wouldn't force people to cease attending games I wouldn't have thought.
Then again, I did think the same about the Di Canio/fascism thing, and was wrong.

I am 100% against even giving this guy a trail, but it wouldn't stop me going to a game.
Not sure how I'd react to him playing though, hopefully just sit in silence and seethe on the inside.

Sensitive subject and all that, but this cracked me up! First time I have laughed out loud reading the TEF for a while, well done Mex! For all of that can't see that Timelord is a pox fisherman, shame on you. Oh, and murderer? Behave! Fuck me we are not talking about OJ! |

I think Mex and herthab have summed up my feelings on this one pretty well.
A genuine question to those who think he should be sent packing... What job is it acceptable for him to do? Does every single employer in the country have the right to say he shouldn't work for them? Is it right that a person be denied a living once their prison sentence is over?
I sort of understand the argument about not wanting to chant his name etc, but I'd argue that Eric Sabin was much more detrimental to the STFC cause than McCormick ever would be. Negative press? So what. People said that this time last year, and it doesn't seem to have done any harm.

Denied a living? Not at all. Denised resuming a career where he is idolised, predominantly by lads like the ones he took the lives of, yes, it's wholly inappropriate. Next question... |
