Luke McCormick

If you remember, this was the Plymouth Argyle Goalkeeper, an uninsured, over the limit driver, who killed two kids by hitting the car they were in. He was twice the limit at 6 in the morning. After 3 years he is out and Swindon are allowing him to train at their ground.

Personally, every ex-offender needs to be able to earn and get on in life afterwards. However, football is not the place imho. Footballers are role models, continually in the public eye, and celebrities. He wouldn't get a TV presenter role had he been a TV presenter, and I strongly feel football should be the price he pays for being a murderer, in my eyes at least.

It seems as though Swindon won't sign him up, but will another club? Hypothetically, with Tuffey gone, were he rumoured to be on ICTs radar, how would you feel?

The question is here, where do you draw the line? There was no outrage on here when ICT signed convicted wife-beater Phil McGuire or what about convicted assaulter Richie Foran? I'm not saying what they did was as bad as McCormick (though McGuire's in-particular was horrendously vicious and supposed done in front of their two children), but where do you draw the line?

If either of the players had killed somebody by their actions....would ICT still have signed them after they got out, do you think?

You have to shake your head at the justification for the signing presented by the chairman of Swindon Town....he has the chance to give something back, to show the tragedies of drink-driving. How is he giving something back OR is showing the tragedies of drink driving by playing first team football? He is just showing that there are no tragedies for the perpetrator just tragedies for the victims. Perpetrators can come out of jail and continue where they left off......victims don't have that luxury.
