Comments on: Will a club step forward to be Marlon’s King-maker? http://www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/2010/07/will-a-club-step-forward-to-be-marlons-king-maker/ Following Blues From Near and Far Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:29:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Margaret http://www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/2010/07/will-a-club-step-forward-to-be-marlons-king-maker/comment-page-1/#comment-5498 Margaret Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:20:47 +0000 http://www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/?p=2670#comment-5498 A good article, Nat. In general I believe that we should never give up on another human being by declaring him/her to beyond rehabilitation. It is possible for someone, like the thief on the cross, to repent right at the end of his life. I also believe that once people have served their time in prison they should be allowed to return to normal life, including getting a job. However there have to be some safeguards, for example: some criminally insane may need to be locked up for life; sex offenders shouldn't be allowed to work with children; some people should never be allowed to drive. Also, working in the public eye is different to an ordinary job. Footballers appear on TV so the victims of criminal footballers could be exposed to pictures/news and that could be disturbing for the victims. There are no easy answers. A good article, Nat.

As long as they have monitory value in the game there will be a place for them. Football after all is driven by money and greed not ethics and morals. Like you however I’d be absolutely sickened if my club (Celtic) signed him Nice article though Nat Footballers can never completely blow it. As long as they have monitory value in the game there will be a place for them.
