Lee Barnard's Situation

No i dont go out getting into fights not my way.....

He gets paid his moeny and is role model especially to the clubs kids... if guilty and sent down, then i think the club will sack him....
Your a community and family and i think the owners would want him ../...

I take it though that as you have not got any one in just incase the club are confident that he wont go to prison!

 

But if the bloke deserved it then they may go lenient on him. Maybe the jury will see the "victim" and think he's a bit of a jackass anyway. Maybe he could go to jail for being an idiot and Barnard rewarded for teaching him that idiocy isn't allowed? That's what I think will happen. I'm 99% positive.

 

Wasn't the other guy a cage fighter? Barny must be a bit of a nutter to have taken him on anyway! He obviously cut his hand on the glass as well which kind of points to his likely involvement/guilt, the CPS would have dropped it long ago unless they were certain of getting a conviction, and the charge and injury is too serious for him to get a caution.

It does not look good for him, but who knows, only those involved I guess.

 

You are right. We are all guessing......

 

If he's guilty then it's a nasty offence and he should be punished. However, we'll just have to wait and see. Club didn't do anything (at least publically) because innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps it will be deferred again and the season will soon be over. Just thinking on a purely selfish level, I'm afarid.

 

bpl...why are you constantly on the saints board? is it because bournemouth have no fans and no posts to write on over on your board?

 

Lots of fans come on our board because they're lonely. I like to think of them as a bit of seasoning for the pot. Sometimes (if not abusive or silly) they give us a different viewpoint.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't this incident near to the time when he went in well late and got his three game ban for violent conduct?

 

Don't worry lads Mrs. Skate has baked Barny a special cake bar which will help him get out of this mess.

What has barnard done, I haven't heard anything, Could you fill me in on the situation.

 

He was involved in a fracas in a nightclub when a cage fighter got glassed. He seriously injured his hand and played for months with a bandaged hand.

 

OH, How is his case going

 

firstly the case can be referred to the crown court on either the judges or the defendants decision, therefore there is a strong chance lee barnard decided to go via the crown court knowing the case would be much delayed. therefore it does not mean the case is anymore serious then we first thought.
If he has glassed the man then it is likely to be a case of G.B.H, probably section 20, as he has broken the skin. this carries a maximum sentence of 5 years, however its a relatively minor case of GBH so very rare he would get to long in prison.
fingers crossed this incident doesn't derail the run in!

 

Hopefully he doesn't go to prison.

 

Does anyone know how badly hurt the other man was? Because it looked like Barney came off the worst. His hand was protected for a long time.

 

We're in the wrong job boys

 

There ain't no justice.

 

If we were selected for jury service in Barney's case, presumably they'd ask us if we supported Saints. I know I would listen to all the evidence, weigh it up carefully, and then find him innocent (especially if we hadn't secured promotion by then!). ;-)

 

I expect the jury will be full of rugger players
