This is good to know jyrka. Do you think perhaps we should form some sort of group advocating against it? Or maybe start with a weekly group forum where people can discuss how they feel about the subject.

I don't think it's our place to tell uncivilised countries(in my mind all countries that have the death penalty are uncivilised) how to arrange their societies. Different cultures and all that.

I tried to google if a footballer has ever gotten the death penalty but it's just results of American universities' american football teams getting the death penalty which in my opinion is incredibly harsh but different cultures and that innit.

Seems like hearsay from the judge. Evans will win on appeal, probably sue the woman for damages?

I hope he sues Jessica Ennis.

Some of it is quite disturbing, some very funny.

I don't understand the quibbling over the specifics.

Dude showed his dick to an underage girl. Sent at the very least flirty messages to her, and (allegedly) engaged in sexual acts with her.

He has admitted as much, but is still trying to get the last inch of innocence/wriggle room.

Yes, laws and courts... why bother with the specifics.

He is 100% right, of course. It's well know that results are bought and sold in Cyprus. Especially late in the season when one team might not have anything to play for but the opponent is in the running for Europe or relegation.

I don't know whether I like that or hate it. Obviously it's an outside deal but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible for a player to sign a contract that released them from all club responsibilities other than training and playing?

Like no interviews, promos, photos for the clubs noodle partner etc. If I was a superstar I'd definitely try to avoid that poo poo.

Probably hard to get the club to agree to it. Even if the player agreed to (massively) reduced wages, the club wouldn't want a player rocking the boat like that, especially a superstar player. Club executives love sponsors(because they give them free money). Probably easier to give the journos a few empty words and pose for pictures with the Asians.

Also there are similar responsibilities to the league, FA, players' union that the club has no control over.

Mangers have to do post match interviews and I assume press conferences too. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something similar in players' registrations or something.

Depending on the league, probably. The two leagues I'm familiar with(the EPL and the EPL) leave it to the club to decide which players if any attend the press conference. For the post-match EPL interviews, the TV people have to give the club a list of 3 players they would like and then the club has to send at least one of the three. Anyway, there are a lot of rules regulating different types of interviews but I don't think the media can guarantee access to any one specific player.
