There's ways and means to unnerve McCormick in the return game without fans having to run on the pitch or anything which can be severe enough to get them into trouble.

It's a case of whether DRFC have a player, who has no boundaries in wanting to get a result, and is prepared to be a Marco Materazzi to either get McCormick or one of his team-mates sent off.

Why not just target a 4-0 win and make sure we do it ! That will get up their noses

The bloke has served his time for what was a terrible error / mistake / lack of judgement and society say (and I make no judgements) that he is now allowed to continue with his life FREE to pursue whatever career he can get or hold down

It is a terrible thing he did but others have done as bad / worse / similar and are rehabilitated. There may be people posting on this very board who have spent convictions but the Law - OUR - Law says that when you have done your time you are afforded the chance to start again

I go back to his crime - which was against the Law and for which he was rightly "slaughtered" but how many of those doing that have a) driven when drunk or potentially just over the limit b) have driven after a late night binge early the next morning c) used a Mobile Phone when driving SINCE the law changed to make it illegal d) exceeded the posted Speed limit - say by doing 40mph in a 30 zone

If you recognise yourself in even one of those above then you are one incident from being him ! Dont misunderstand my post I AM NOT defending what he did (which was indefensible) merely pointing out that the next Luke McCormick might just have read this post. Wont happen to you ? That's what he thought I bet

Hopefully John Marquis steps up to the mark.

The man should not be allowed on a football pitch. Being a footballer comes with responsibility and setting a good example. To get drunk, drive and ultimately end up killing kids is unforgivable. If anyone on here did that, there is no way they could go back to their employer and say "oops, I made a mistake." and the employer welcome them back.

I don't condone deliberately injuring players, but if someone went through his knee two-footed, I wouldn't feel sympathy for him.

It amazes me people like McCormick, Lee Hughes etc. are allowed back into what is a high profile, well paying job that many of us can only dream of.

The key thing is that he has demonstrated remorse for his actions both publicly and privately. I believe that he actively engaged with charities relating to his crime. Doesn't make him a saint but it's the best outcome

Young Pineapple Head too had a serious bit of previous while he was at the Rovers. And my all time face centre half as well. He's so fave I can't remember his name right now, but the small Scottish thug we had early in the Conference who outjumped most forwards and thumped half of them into the bargain too.

Colin Sutherland,  Still amazed he didn't get sent off at Rushden in the cup for the punch to the back of Barry Hunters head.

Not old enough to remember those names. If they killed someone, they shouldn't have been allowed back playing football in a professional capacity, regardless of whether they are Rovers or not.

Thank you German! Yes. I saw that punch. I thought it was West he attacked, but who cares? Whoever it was got flattened,,,

I can't remember that other lads name either. 1980's maybe? Had a pineapple on his head. Good player. Went on to the 2nd Div somewhere I think? I also think he'd been sent down for GBH before he ever came to BV - though that's a very distant memory these days.


Oh. And Swinton: so whipping your pecker out and having a piss in a public part of a train, in view of various females, would be ok then? Have I understood your position right? It's only if one of our players had actually killed somebody that you'd feel he should be banned?

Cheers

Jamie Lawrence.  Went on to play in the premier league and for Jamaica.  Cracking Player..

Can't forget David Roche either. A real bad boy who waved good bye to his knee caps soon after leaving us.  He was sent down a few years ago for drug dealing. I think he my still be there.

Rightly, or wrongly, it would be illegal under current law to stop him from persuing his chosen career.

Not sure what you mean Bob, sorry I'm only 20 is this an older reference I'm missing?

And in any case I'd argue killing someone is worse than indecent exposure.

Drugs, tax dodging, even scrapping in town are things I can look the other way at. I'm training to be a teacher so any criminal activity at all and I'd never be let anywhere near a classroom. Footballers should have a bit more leeway, but some things are a step too far. If McCormick had been sober and focused on the road and the crash happened, then I'd be sympathetic, because accidents do happen. As it is, he got behind the wheel of a car, drunk, and this resulted in two kids dying. That's not acceptable.

I think you may be confusing him with Padi Wilson.

Another that appeared that season was Paul Edwards who had a spell in a young offenders' institution before joining us and subsequently went to jail. Like Jamie Lawrence he did sort himself out and went on to have quite a decent career in the lower leagues.

It was all fairly low level stuff though and not in the same league as manslaughter or causing death by dangerous driving.

It all depends on whether you want a society to rehabilitate or to vilify. He made a very bad mistake and has shown remorse so, in my view, deserves a chance.

If someone is a repeat offender then that's different.

Unfortunately society doesn't want that. People would much rather label, shame and stigmatise offenders and then question why such significant numbers re-offend.

I have just read an article which says that people found guilty of causing death by dangerous or careless driving, including drink driving and accidents caused from using hand held mobiles, could face a life sentence.
