I don't have any interest in Scottish football unless I need a couple of bankers for my saturday football coupon. I've never been to Edinburgh. I've never even watched the Jambos (Heart of Midlothian FC) play. But, I've signed the massive online petition on their website against the appointment of convicted sex case Rix. People like him have no place in any football. Even Scotlands. Hopefully many more will do likewise. |

My boss is a Hearts fan and he is disgusted at the appointment of Rix as coach. I am glad their fans are making a stand. |

I'd be more concerned that he is a Sh it coach. Remind me of this case. Was this the one where he had sex with an underage girl, In a hotel, with her approval, but she had lied to him about her age? Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not condoning what he did by any stretch of the imagination and he should of been more careful, but wasn't he pretty much duped?!? Was it a suspended sentence? If I'm wrong, or it was worse than I remember then he really should not have any part in football. Maybe they should be trying to get rid of him for footballing reasons. How did the russion come up with him? I'd be worried if I was a hearts fan. |

He had sex with a 15 year old girl and he wa charged for this as well as 1 count of sexual assault. He was sentenced to 12 months in prision in 1999 but only served 6 before he was released. I am not sure oof any more details that than. I dont know if she lied about her age or not. |

That's fair comment, but you weren't in your late 30's with a friends daughter who was 15 were you ? It's different if you're 18 and she's 15 imo, but this guy was in his late 30's ! |

From what I remember Rix pulled a girl in a club and she agreed to go back to his hotel room with him. Once there she consented to have sex with him. She had lied about her age. Why should Rix not believe her? She was in a night club and told him she was 19 or summat. (Don't know exact age but know she didn't say 15.) After the event she reported Rix and he was prossecuted. Now, why should Rix have the rest of his career ruined because of some out of control teenager? What were her parents doing while she was out picking up middle aged men in the middle of night clubs? Now, he is not a paedophile. He did not purposly go out looking for a 15-year-old girl. Some blame MUST be put upon her parents too. All that said and done, they won't win the SPL with Rix as manager. He isn't that good. |

I stand to be corrected, but I thought it was with his friends 15 year old daughter and not a one off. He IS convicted and IS a paedophile in the eyes of the law. He has to sign on the sex offenders register and cannot work or be left unsupervised with anyone under 16. Make of the appointment what you will, but I would think there are many, many ex-players looking for a chance in the game, who get overlooked for the likes of this criminal, with questionable coaching ability. |

You could be right about him knowing the girl's father. However, wouldn't have necessarily have known the girl's age. |

Like a bunch of fishwives with hardly a tail or a head between you. I thought it was this, I thought it was that...but you still slander away. What a bunch of wimps. If he had consexual sex with a minor, and the minor was regarded as being able to judge right from wrong... he is not a paedophile....you ignoramus. Paedophiles are the ones we need to be aware of, the con merchants, uncles, cousins, scoutmasters, teachers,priests...those with the ability,authority and power to silence, threaten and abuse our children. This is a clapped-out footballer with an under-age slapper............. sexist and age-ist I know............... you don't think that happens every other week??? :( |

I actually partially agree with alfred, IF the girl lied and IF she looked an an to consent then he did nothing that bad, apart from being pervy old guy, especially IF he knew her father. But he has served his time etc, i would not want my daughter when they are 14-15 to go near him, he is not a paedophile, but obviously into teens, which for a 40-50 year old is a little pervy, in my opinion. I feel his appointment is strang, but it is probably because he has agreed to allow the owner to have his say in the team selection etc, which is what the guy wants. |

Double standards or what ? You criticise posters on this subject as "fish wifes" then post on it showing your complete lack of knowledge of the law. I think you ought to check your facts before dishing out abuse. A minor IS just that, a minor and CANNOT give consent. What age do you draw the line, is 14 ok, 13 ? In the eyes of the law he is a paedophile......."you ignoramus" ! |

in eyes of law yes, but i am sure you would agree that some girls, when dressed up, do look 18/19 when only 15, and most people would consider it ok if it was a 16-18 yr old teen going with this person, the out cry is because of age difference, I can imagine she did lie about her age, but for a 40 yr old to believe her was a little daft, he should have known better. Most people think of paedophiles as men who go for children as opposed to 15 yr olds looking like 19 yr olds, but he was too old to be messing around with a teen anyway, something very pervy if you ask me for a teen to get involved with someone as old as their parents, some how not right when still a teenager. Sorry, probably sounding prudish. HE was wrong, and in my opinion, a pervert, who will be seen as a child molester, and hopefully has learnt, he actual appoinment to manager of hearts is just daft, surely could have got someone better |

That's fair comment, but the law allows for this in what is called "the young mans defence". A lad under 21 has a defence if he has sex with a girl who is 15 IF he genuinely believes she is above the age of consent. Unfortunately for Mr Rix, this doesn't apply for 40 year olds <_< . |

What idiots. Because of one dubious incident he should be punished for the rest of his life should he? As someone else said, Hearts fans should be more worried about the fact he is a crap coach. |

i agree with "paid price" sentiements, and if u read my comments u will see I questioned his appointment, stating they could surely find someone better, unless he is just going to be a puppet. With any sexual offence I feel the world does view the offender differently to a fraudster, or anyother type of criminal, sex offenders are considered the lowest of low, and the stigma is there for life. Pennent is seen as daft youngster for his crime, etc But Sex offenders, rapists, and now adays drunk drive killers, are seen as the lowest of the low, if you know what i mean, so he is seen as a pervy old man, and that will take some time for the average person to forget. Same with any celeb who goes though such scandal, Frank Bough... etc, most other crimes don't carry such "mud sticking" |
