You can - it's called being CRB checked. Footballers in their contracts are usually expected to get out into the community - schools, businesses, youth groups. How wrong would it be for McCormick to go into a Primary School to give the kids a football lesson? Wrong on so many levels.
He would proably be cleared in a crb check - not a danger to kids or vunerable people... |

Sounds a good idea to me, he could go into secondary schools and warn them of the effects of alcohol too. The bloke was stupid, reckless and and got punished, but demonizing? |

It's not sensationalism.
Sensationalism is what your post was. Nowhere does it say we're chasing him, which is a word you chose to use. Now please be a good troll. Oh, do you know Dorset Red? |

No it's probably not chasing now that you have got him. Sad that a great club like Swindon has to have people like that on it's books. |

You should have seen his/her reaction when GT signed Craig 'convicted for assault' Nelthorpe last summer. Yikes.  |

First thing to say is that he hasn't actually signed. But it is difficult to know what to think about Luke McCormick. He made some terrible decisions that night back in 2008 that cost two young children their lives. What he did that night can at best be described as incredibly reckless and that will live with him forever. I can't begin to imagine what the victim's family have gone through. They have lost 2 children and their father is now disabled. McCormick is free to earn a living and can now look forward to being a father himself. You can understand why people feel immense anger about the situation.
But rightly or wrongly he has been handed his punishment and has served it. It is now the job of society to rehabilitate him as long as he shows genuine remorse for what he has done and is receptive to that opportunity. Whilst there is nothing he can do to "fix" what has happened I still believe it would be better if now goes out and tries to give something back to society through what he does best which is football. If he plays professionally and works hard in the community through coaching, promoting alcohol awareness and road safety then maybe, just maybe he can help prevent further tragedies like this occuring. And then at least something good will be able to come out of this whole absolutely terrible and heartbreaking episode.

It is never dull at Swindon Town, is it?
I just don't think I could bring myself to clap and cheer him if he was playing for us, surely there are other options out there.
