Grealish attacked on the pitch(update p33)

[KentBlue]

Apparently this chap lived in a street called Cock Hill Lane.

I've heard one or two pundits and ex players suggesting that a points deduction would be the best deterrent. Bad idea. What's to stop a rival fan from another club pretending to be from the home side and commiting the same act?

His family have all moved out already, like you say hopefully before these attacks took place.



Sentencing @ 14.00hrs.

Magistrates’ sentencing powers are limited, They might pass him to the Crown Court if they deem that they don’t have sufficient leeway for the offence he’s admitted.

Are you reading this BMR

I am now. And your point is?

Depending on his past history, I doubt it would be passed onto Crown Court. If he's of a decent character, I'd doubt he would receive a custodial sentence at all.

There won't. For exactly the same reasons that they shit themselves at the mention of safe standing and because you don't make giant sweeping changes on the back of a single incident.

Apparently there wasn’t a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing!...

Remember when Aguero was confronted by a fan on the pitch, but was somehow portrayed as the aggressor?

You keep hammering no agenda ;)

It's the potential harm and the circumstances they'd be looking at.

Phil Neville going on about playing behind closed doors, points deductions and or emptying stadiums, he's even thrown Monica Seles into the mix. The footballing world is slowly but surely disappearing up its own corporate backside.

Scary to think how easy it would be for a fan to do what this idiot did but with a weapon. Couldn't believe it when I saw this yesterday
