We shall see what happens with the appeal. But whichever way you look at this case it isn't cut and dry and far from it. He's been very harshly treated in my opinion whilst the word of the 'victim' has been taken as gospel. For some reason.
I'm not sure that's right though is it? As I understand it, she doesn't claim to have any recollection of what happened, and Evans was convicted and McDonald acquitted effectively on the basis of their own evidence of what happened - they were interviewed separately and their stories match, so suggests they weren't trying to hide anything. As you say, it's not cut and dried - I really think he should just go quiet until the review of the conviction has been completed. He can then start again with football if he's cleared.
