My heart bleeds. Presumably the judge saw it rather differently. I don't know, maybe he thought that taking part in indiscriminate violence that also resulting in the trashing of a pub warranted more than a slap on the wrist. And he'll be out in 6 months anyway.bhafc4eva said:Cant believe you lot, a good friend of mine got 18 months and all he was charged for was throwing a punch that missed and picking up a chair.
No I really don't think they do.bhafc4eva said:People who mug old ladies and rapist get less.
I'm with you. I know one of the lads quite well and he's a smashing bloke, he's just been made an example of. I know he was in the wrong but I can't join in with all this righteous indignation, he is certainly not 'scum' as some ignorant people on this thread have said.bhafc4eva said:Cant believe you lot, a good friend of mine got 18 months and all he was charged for was throwing a punch that missed and picking up a chair.

He was involved in violence - he threw a punch, which he obviously wanted to connect, and he picked up a chair - why? Not to take away and sit on for a better view. If he wasn't involved, he should have kept on walking.
I can't believe I've read that. Are you saying those kids deserved to die simply for drinking underage and nicking a car? Since when have those crimes attracted the death penalty?Goring Gull said:Bit like those kids in St leonards doing something they shouldn't have been if you can't do the time don't do the crime.

All the best Lol.

West Hoathly Seagull said:The only trouble is that the sentences were too short. The one who threw the chair through the window should have got ten years.

Thread full of Daily Mail readers.
Obviously there is a lot of truth in what you say and I'm certainly not taking the "they were just supporting the club in their own way" line which I've noticed is the cyber-hoolie stance to football-related violence. Certainly the older ones deserve it. But the lad I know is not a violent thug who goes round beating up people, smashing up pubs or mugging old ladies on a regular basis. Yes I freely admit my personal feeling are influencing me but I think, knowing the person he is, that he's been very harshly treated. It was a fight in a pub. Big deal. A £50 fine would have been fairer.HampshireSeagulls said:All of them were smashing blokes. Mainly smashing windows.
You only had to see the prats on the telly last night, threatening the cameraman, wearing crash helmets, total idiots - and most of them were around and above 40 years old FFS! They all did something they shouldn't have, they were too stupid to realise they were on CCTV. Fans and smashing blokes aside, they f***ed up big time and now they pay for it. There was hardly a Leeds hardcore in the pub, they took the argument to people who were not involved, which makes them scum - if this was Palace in court, you wouldn't be quite so defensive I think. Next time a relative or non-hoolie friend of yours is quietly enjoying themselves in a pub, lob a couple of chairs through the window and see how they thank you for it.

Who says that's all he did? A mate of his on this board? Call me picky, but I'd rather trust the judgement of a court with the facts to hand.ChapmansThe Saviour said:18 months for throwing a punch and picking up a chair doesn't seem at all harsh to you then?
