Ched Evans: footballer found not guilty of rape in retrial What made the difference is that the victim's sexual history was allowed to be heard in court, and it seems that she had a history of getting blackout drunk and waking up unable to remember what she did the night before. That doesn't overlook the fact that money was offered for other men to come forward to talk about their experiences with said woman; that he got a friend and brother to try and tape the deed, that he paid for the room beforehand. A lot more details are in the article. Even though he's been acquitted, I still wouldn't want him on my team, tbh. When even The Daily Mail is shocked that this has been allowed to happen, you know something is egregiously wrong

This match was frustrating to watch, tbh

Congrats to Hertha Berlin for putting up a fight

But I'm only posting these pictures because I have questions. I'm thinking of going to Dortmund for England's international against Germany. What's the best way to do it? I am avoiding AirB&B, but am open to everything else. For flights out, I'm afraid I might have to travel to London the day before, which is annoying

Now this training outfit I can get with. It's pretty cold where I am, even indoors and I'm training in joggy bottoms and a fleece top. Brrrr
