Pelebhoy Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I thought that was the same chap seen him play before he got sentenced and was a good player. I know the old saying is everyone deserves a 2nd chance but i wouldnt like my club to be assosciated with a player that has committed this sort of crime. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_92 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I thought that was the same chap seen him play before he got sentenced and was a good player. I know the old saying is everyone deserves a 2nd chance but i wouldnt like my club to be assosciated with a player that has committed this sort of crime. Just my opinion I think that is the opinion of most, why should he get to resume his near normal life 5 years down the line when there is a victim who will live with the psychological burden her entire life and may never be able to resume her previous hobbies? It will undoubtedly cause unrest in the squad as well, would older members with daughters etc. be comfortable socialising and bonding with a convicted rapist? I certainly wouldn't. Signing this boy doesn't seem worth the bad publicity for Irvine Vics, they have already improved their squad sufficiently and I am sure there are alternatives.

IrvineVicsMan Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I've thought about it n I back the decision to sign Reynolds. Silky n Stevie have never done anything for me or anyone for that matter to doubt them so I'm not going too. One of the most impressive things about last season was how tight knit the squad was last season so i don't think if this signing was going to jeopardise that then they wouldn't have done it.

Wicked Delivery Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Got to agree with majority of posters. Poor decision fot Irvine Vics to get involved with a guy like that. There is absolutely no doubt that this will have an effect on the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a prat! Back your manager to sign a convicted rapist? I'm sure the local fans and youngsters will be delighted with the signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John and the dug Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong but was there not a campaign relating to violence against women not that long ago that visited grounds.As I say maybe I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
