Billy Sharp Attacked on the pitch v Forest

[willipp]

Thankfully it sounds like Billy Sharp is ok on the whole but after watching it he's lucky he isn't far more seriously injured. Hope he gets a serious punishment for that.

Hopefully the police/solicitor putting the shits up this piece of filth. Telling him likely jail as the outcome. And that he’s sat there now knowing he should be at work, maybe even has to take the kids to school or whatever. Nerves shot. Horrible sense of dread of what is going to happen.

Scum.

Probably one of the most despicable things I've ever seen at a football match that.

I've just checked and the maximum sentence for GBH is life imprisonment. Would probably have to prove intent for a sentence as strong as that to be handed out. Well after watching the footage, it would be harder not to prove intent IMO.

That will be ABh I imagine which sadly carries less of a sentence

pitch invasions should be banned
far too many go on the pitch to run over to the opposition fans to goad them and the other teams players or desperately try and grab selfies with their players.

A violent and outrageous assault.
I hope Billy Sharp is ok and I hope that the fool who carried out the attack is made an example of by giving him some serious time in prison, to try to deter others from doing anything similar.

Now, I have been remembering violent incidents at football matches.
During my time there have been punches thrown and scuffles between opposing fans which usually didn't result in more than cuts and bruises.
Attacks on team/supporters buses (and trains).
An attack on an ambulance containing an injured player.
Assaults on players on the pitch by other players.
Even a memorable assault by a player on a supporter!

Football can be a marvellous game with great drama and excitement, unfortunately, it can also be this...

It baffles me to think what was going through this imbecile's head. Booze, coke, or a combination - whatever. But what on earth would make you want to go and do something like that in the first place? In front of tv cameras and thousands of people at the game itself?

We'll probably find out the man has some kind of previous when it comes to violent attacks. Things like this are very seldom isolated incidents.

I think the ones we've had have gone as well as they could have done, to the extent we even had a small love in with your lot in 2014. With that said, there's a tiny part of me thats convinced the police knocked on our dressing room door at half time in that game against United in 2018. That would have been havoc.

Three years in clink please. Just what possesses anybody to do that?

In a prison somewhere near sheffield

Absolutely disgusting, Complete and utter lowlife coward.
Not only a lifetime ban into football stadiums but a prison sentence should be handed out too.
The cowardly bastard would shit himself in a fight, Big man hitting someone off guard. Bastard.
