Don't worry folks, Geoff has spoken. He says we don't want Hughes. The twentypence has spoken. Hope it overrules Toni tenpence. |

...should never be compromised in the running and professional conduct of our beloved club. Otherwise we can't distinguish right from wrong. When does it become right to ban a fan from the ground whom helps pay the wages of a convicted (I want to say murderer, but that is inaccurate and libelous) death causer, because his lesser crime was to invade a playing surface? Crazy! If we do sign Hughes, it's double standards with the dealing of Pipe, and complete hypocrisy for all those whom booed him when he played at the Mem. So where does the moral high ground begin and end then? The club allowed a convicted Pedophile to hold a season ticket for decades that was talked about on here recently, there is another one in the post this week that taught at our school who has been convicted this week and I have seen the bloke at countless games over the years, this was predatory and premeditated sick behaviour and actions, subsequently I am close friends with someone who killed someone by mistake in self-defence, someone who had chronic addictions and had also committed some other serious assault related misdemeanors, as the law gave him a second opportunity to rehabilitate himself he took it with both hands and over the past decade has proven himself to be an exceptional human being who has shown remorse and completely turned his life around, those close to him forgave his actions and he has repaid people close to him with endless acts of kindness. I find cries of murderer at Lee Hughes cringeworthy, those that do it should be housed in a new stand called the 'holier than thou' stand or maybe 'whiter than white stand' or maybe 'I am perfect and have never ever hurt another human being ever stand' ok a bit unrealistic as Higgs has shown himself incapable of building any kind of stand, thankfully the law allows people a second chance, particularly for those who had no intention of killing in the first place. and if you had a child who was killed by a speeding or drunk driver and who showed no remorse? |

But as said the bloke was released and continued to be a tosser on and off the pitch. Some rehabilitation |

I wouldn't sign him.
But I'm unsure as to how remorse, and being a lovely bloke all the time, are the same thing.

So would you accept another season of Conference football, or possibly years once we lose the parachute payments, or Hughes goals possibly getting us promoted this season if he's the only goal scorer prepared to join us?
Reluctantly I'd have to accept the latter as I think I can only take a year or two of Conference football.

Oh right sorry it was over à women, my mistake. I believe it was an innocent member of the public walking past him, on his way home from a night out. A pretty sickening attack. |

[b Firstly he did not kill a child so there is no relevance to that, secondly how do so many people know he has shown no remorse? Some people say he has been a tosser on the pitch, ive watched him against Rovers on 3 or 4 occasions and every time he has the ball the normal dullards cry 'murderer' but still waiting to see a reaction, is there any vidoe proof he has reacted to calls calling him something he isnt? |

There are other options, they're just unexplored. If Hughes was the only option, and no one else fits the bill at all, he and his agent would hold this club to ransom and the scouting/management network would be failing..................again! |

It started with a fight that broke out in the club with friends of pipe and it was over a girl , pipe was in the off licence buying a bottle of wine at the time and when he came the fight had spilled out into the road and pipe got embroiled ,the girl got assaulted by the others his mates were fighting and pipe used the bottle , but it is my understanding that the victim was far from innocent in the proceedings, it depends on your point of view of whether giving him a clout with the bottle was slightly excessive or not. Im sure a few of the members of this forum have been involved in the odd tear up in town in our earlier years. Not condoning but also not castigating either. Hughes on the other hand is an entirely different scenario. |

I swear I read in the court documents that the victim wasn't anything to do with the incident at all? Merely walking up the street when Pipe hit him, mistaking him for one of the people he was scrapping with?

No Bristol Rovers ace David Pipe, 26, had been on a nine hour drinking binge when he battered Rhys Morris, 29, over the head with a half-empty wine bottle. Rhys, described in court as a ”completely innocent member of the public”, was left with a 4in hole in his skull. He underwent emergency surgery and had metal plates fitted in his shattered skull, but is still suffering the effects of the attack.... Yes?! |
