Sent to jail for that? ****ing hell. If that happened in the town centre on a weekend, nobody would be going to jail for it. Nonces generally get suspended sentences.
Yeah we all know you'll get a harsher sentence if the case is in the public eye and that counts away from football too. I actually thought it might be longer than that tbh, and with a life ban too.
I can understand the banning order. I can't get my head around jail time for that. It goes back to that earlier argument. If Bowyer and Dyer can punch **** out of each other in the public eye and the police don't get involved, why should the general public be treated differently to footballers?
I agree and have said so before, mainly for things like Keane, Thatcher (hero) etc. Which blatantly are at least ABH. Not just football either, look at rugby!
He must have previous that we don't know about. Otherwise I'm surprised by the prison term. Even if he had been sentenced to prison it would've been suspended surely, so he must have previous. He'll be out in 6-7 weeks.
Banned for life by Birmingham City 10 year ban from all football grounds by the court 14 weeks in prison For fook sake what did he do kill someone!?
That is harsh. On the plus side, the guy who attacked Smalling is getting given a tour round arsenal's stadium. Don't know which is worse
