appropriate rethink - or that the stewards will remove them posthaste. Like I said, there are a lot of not-very-bright people in the world.

Football would be a lot more civilized were it not for the supporters, but that would defeat the purpose of the game.

As for abuse next season? All clubs get plenty of grief from other clubs and yes, if we go up there will be those who will do their best to forever link the club with Evans' behavior off the pitch. Same could be said for other players who do stupid things (up to and including earning convictions for criminal activities). If we don't go up, those same people will gleefully point out that it was due to Evans' behavior off the pitch.

It's a no-win situation, unfortunately.

The club will survive, regardless.
