Apology to the club

[Grassland Blue]

@meldrew be careful in court. If you can get a solicitor, do so. I bet anything the CPS solicitor will mention the so called attack on the Villa keeper, the other instances of violence and how it has to be stamped out. 'We need to make an example of this hooligan'.
You need to make sure that they understand that yours was a one off moment, no violence and you were just carried away.
I say they will go OTT because of the fact GMP have already named you and where you come from. They are wanting to show everyone they are doing all they can to put a stop on this 'violent disgraceful behaviour'

Meldrew seems to be an easy target.
Hopefully the court dismiss the charge.

Least you weren’t one of the cunts who snapped the net in half

Not really, there’s zero point deleting this thread when it’s patently obvious that it was him on the pitch and his posts show contrition.

Plus he’s obviously going to plead guilty, he’s on camera haha

 

[Blue Mist]

I've no sympathy with the OP and the excuse 'caught up in the emotion' won't wash. He's lucky, he will only get a 3 year ban.
I got 'caught up in the emotion' and asked Mrs Mist to marry me. That was 40 years ago. That's punishment ffs.

Yeh, it’s impossible to gauge the impact the letter would have without knowing the contents, bud

I ran on and piggy backed on Trevor Francis when he scored a screamer over the X mas period (Wolves, I think) pissed up 19 year old, I’d borrowed my workmates Main Stand ST
Was shown on the late news that night, got a right fuckin bollocking at work off him!!

 

[BM Blue]

Perhaps the OP could propose doing some voluntary work for CITC (Community service), whilst he serves his (hopefully reduced) ban?

 

[rabby]

Are you alright now thats off your chest mate?

Much better sir,how are you after the humour by-pass op, looks like it was a success.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Just wear your Sunday best at court and hang your head in shame etc etc etc but get a solicitor to speak for you.

Court is a piece of piss.

There is no reducing a banning order lower than 3 years, so that is in theory what he would get if the Police apply for one, but it is not automatic they will. The defence against a banning order is that the offence was not related to the football and you would have done it anyway, which can't be done for running on the pitch during a game.

It will be dealt with by the Magistrates court, and not that serious an offence, so I doubt I Pre-Sentencing Report will be asked for and all mitigating factors will be looked at in any depth.

I reckon a banning order after the conviction would be over the top, however the club were looking for blood after what happened, and maybe the Police are minded to set an example too. I can see an indefinite ban from the club though.

Noel Gallagher was head butted when that goal went in Dias‘s dad did it he ended up with stitches, one of the pitch invaders was an off duty police officer it was a hell of a game, almost as good as the Kun moment.

Noel has turned into a southern softy ha!ha!.
I bet liam was in stitches with laughter when his brother (rkid) went public with it to the media yesterday lol!

Talksport no less ( and full detail on Pep in the tunnel) Noels tongue runs away with him, Liam fell out of a helicopter and smashed his face in. (Divine retribution) but everyone did things there not supposed to yesterday My grandson 15 went and sat in the south stand. (to sing) to quiet where we are.
Minor things but everyone went mental

 

[blueinsa]

100% serious. I've been charged to appear at court in 2 weeks time.

Never had anything like this before so don't know where to go but I want to apologise to the club.

Its hardly the crime of the century mate but I’ve a feeling you are going to be on the end of a football banning order for a good number of years.

Will the club also issue a lifetime ban? No idea mate, contact them and explain yourself as best you can.

Fingers crossed for you.

 

[Franny 1234]

Unfortunately the events at several different games last week will be fresh in people's mind so they will want to make a example of you. Hope I am wrong good luck in court. CTID

 

[DaveB]

Unfortunately I was the fan that ran on when we scored the third.

I'm embarrassed for myself and the embarrassment it's caused my family. It was a spur of the moment thing and I'd change it if I could go back.

Is there anyone at the club I can get in touch with to issue an apology.

At least you've done something steve mcmanaman never did on that pitch.

See if fernandinho will borrow you his season ticket if you get a ban

But there’s no way an apologetic letter can make it worse though is there.

 

[Ethan23]

Even if you get a ban you can just sign up under another name, no biggie mate.

Cya on the pitch next year!

Much like opposition goal kicks?

 

[RegMuffin]

Things to do when committed a minor crime and hope you've got away with it:
1. Keep your head down.

Things NOT to do when committed a minor crime and hope you've got away with it:
1. Post it over social media, admitting everything in the process.

Good luck.
