Apology to the club

[Tim of the Oak]

Or had he been a scouser a free season ticket for 4 years plus £10k compensation

I tried to do the decent thing, to represent myself I'm quite capable of taking responsibility for my own actions.

I thought representing myself and admitting responsibility was the right thing to do.

And it's come out the complete opposite way. Anyone viewing the film or at the match would've seen I did nothing to antagonise or cause trouble.

I was in a moment of pure joy and I went off with no fuss after.

I can't believe the picture being painted of me. I'm just in a state of shock.

Get the FSA involved mate if you want to appeal the sentence

Shame Meldrew didn’t have the BSC on his side. That’s the British Scousewashing Corporatiom

Anyone who represents themselves has a fool for a client, once the prosecution knew this sadly you were always getting hammered.

Laws and sentences are there as a punishment and as a deterrent. Entering the field of play while a game is going on is illegal and the laws are there to deter. Totally different story after the game has ended and players have left the pitch.

For me the punishment fits the crime. Others will see it and think twice and the OP will certainly learn from it.

 

[Barcon]

What about all these little shits that run on the pitch asking for a shirt or a selfie?
Do they get the same treatment (ie: end up in criminal court)?

 

[dozzie26]

Just come out of court. 4 year ban 800 quid fine.

Real criminals get better treatment.

Cheer up mate, you might get to see Haaland if he signs a contract extension.

Unfortunately someone is always made an example of unless of course your a scouser filmed throwing flares and bottles at coaches

 

[Ethan23]

Sorry to hear that mate. But surely you can just sign up under your mates name. They're never gonna remember you surely?

My mate got banned at the Derby for 6 months and came in the next game on his mates ticket.

800 is a shitter tho

I'd usually inclined to agree. However I suspect that in this case the ban would be exactly the same, and any 'reduction' in the amount of the fine would be counteracted by the solicitor's fees.

He probably saved himself a couple of hundred quid by representing himself.
