The footballer gets arrested thread

I swear there's a Brazilian goalkeeper who murdered and beheaded his girlfriend and still plays

Lovely ‘nobbing that!

I do have concerns for young men that make a (serious) mistake and are then fcuked for life

Where is the path to redemption

Anyone earning a few million a year would find it hard to get back into that sort of income after doing time for rape.

Guess his path to redemption could involve working on a building site or stacking shelves. At least he'd likely have a bigger nest egg to fall back on than his colleagues in that situation.... if his legal team and compensation to his ex leaves any of that of course. I'm sure both will be working hard to ensure that's not the case.

Why is he not allowed to play football once he's paid his debt to society?

What sort of sentence is he looking at

I also get that it's hard to be sympathetic in the case of millionaire footballers

It would be hard to be sympathetic in the case of any convicted wife beating rapist.

Bruno, organised the abduction and murder of an ex-girlfriend who claimed to have fathered his child. Bizarre case where he served just seven years (of a 22-year sentence) for his admitted part in the killing, released owing to supposed judicial errors. He will technically remain under house arrest for the remainder of his sentence, but can work and train. Currently on the books of Brazilian Serie C team Atlético Carioca.

David Goodwillie has signed for Raith, prompting the captain of the women's team to resign.

Goodwillie and David Robertson, who was then a teammate of Goodwillie, were accused of committing rape in January 2011. Goodwillie was charged with rape, but the Scottish legal authorities decided not pursue a criminal prosecution. The complainer instead took civil action against Goodwillie and Robertson, whom the judge ruled to be rapists, ordering them to pay £100,000 in compensation. The civil case was judged on the balance of probabilities and did not need corroboration of evidence, unlike in a Scottish criminal case. Goodwillie left his club, Plymouth Argyle, soon after the case concluded. A club statement said that Goodwillie had asked to leave as he was considering an appeal. In November 2017, three appeal judges at the Court of Session upheld the ruling.

Great advert for the Premier League, with Gylfi the pedo, Mendy and Greenwood the rapists. To mention just three. Dear oh dear.

And their sponsor leaving. What idiot though this was a good idea? You at least consult the sponsors first when making a controversial signing like that surely?

So not enough evidence for a criminal conviction but we're going to make sure he can never get employment again

I wouldn't expect you to get it. Keep supporting rapists, its a good look.

Raith Rovers. Remarkably they have issued a formal statement where they essentially say that football is more important than Goodwillie's (civil) rape conviction.

As David has previously played for Raith Rovers earlier in his career, we consider him to be part of Raith Rovers Football Club. The management team is familiar with David’s career and background and – in particular – his footballing ability. That is our foremost consideration, and we believe that he will strengthen the Raith Rovers playing squad.
