Let's insist that ONLY those who have NEVER driven over the drinking limit shout at the likes of Hughes, or else they are hypocrites, eh?

Yes, because that's EXACTLY why people dislike him.
Nothing to do with KILLING a bloke and driving off. For all we know, that bloke might still be alive if he'd stopped and called an ambulance. Maybe that bloke's FAMILY might have had a crumb of comfort in knowing Hughes was full of remorse and did the decent thing in the immediate aftermath.
But no, Hughes was a complete CüNT and did a paltry 3 years for his crime. Sorry, but there are plenty of people in this country who simply don't feel he paid for his crime despite what the judge decreed.

And as I said earlier in the thread, let society judge him and its societies right to do so. The vast majority appear to feel he committed a most appalling crime, a crime made worse by fleeing the scene and for not paying sufficient dues.
I dont just blame Lee Hughes, I also hold the criminal justice system responsible.

I didn't join in with that singing last night. The gangs of those shouting "hit and run!" and cackling as they went i felt rather ashamed of. I hope it isn't because i was of course on the receiving end of a hit and run a few years ago and the effects of it live painfully on, but it likely is.
I like to chant and tease a little, but such a personal attack i found unsettling and dispiriting. We're no moral guardians licensed to holler our tabloid views collectively at someone who likely grieves unforgiveably over a mistake he horrendously made. If he doesn't feel bad at all, then i am in no position to insist that he should. To sing comically of a time in prison i would say is ok, but to shout "murderer" and " hit and run" in such a pitchfork-wielding, witch-drowning way was a bit bloody horrible.

Dunno how you can come to that persumption when Foolg stated it was a couple of middle aged blokes. Why even make a comment if you can't back it up?

I should have just quoted them to begin. Luckily, as I said previously I have never seen these people before, so let's hope they do not return.

Would you shout the same things at Lee Hughes if he wasnt a professional Footballer and just some bloke in a pub?
Thaught not.

A mate of mine from work got a ticket for the G block right on the edge of the H block. He really loved the atmosphere and the banter, no mention of racist abuse and he is from Uganda.

Would you clap and cheer Glen Murray if he was just some bloke in a pub? Thought not. Point well made.

Matthew Broderick, husband of Sarah Jessica Parker, did the same thing on a jaunt in Ireland once.
I don't go to see his films, but if I did - I would boo his every performance

Lets get one thing straight, if Hughes didnt want this abuse he should have walked away from football, he knows hes going to get it everywhere he goes, as far as im concerned he deserves everything coming to him, the bloke is a coward. Poor old Hughes getting abuse for such a dusgusting cowardly act that has ruined a familys life for ever.

is this part of the joke?
The worrying thing is, i saw at least one of these blokes at Oldham on saturday, and recognised another, and i know they are all quite frequent supporters/STH's.
Just thought it was pathetic some of the things these blokes were saying. MarcGorry was not one of them, as i've already stated, they were all in their 40's/50's.
Doesn't really make a difference IMO. What he did was terrible, as others have said, but coming back into football didn't have much to do with it. He wasn't forced out of football, in fact it was his easiest option to walk back into the football league and pick up a hefty signing on fee with it. Perhaps if the FA/football league had stamped their authority and stopped people like Hughes/Marlon King/Joey Barton returning to football it wouldn't be such a problem. What bugs me, is the fact these people do such things, and are then allowed to walk into an amazingly well paid proffession again, and be so called idols to many youngsters. The worrying thing is, Sunderland fans are ADAMANT that when "murderer" was chanted in the cup game this season, he replied with a steering wheel gesture.
He deserves every last bit of stick he gets, what he did was a disgusting crime, and his choice to put himself infront of thousands of fans each week brings with it consequences given what he's done. Those who think people should sit back, enjoy the game, and give Hughes his second chance at earning 200k + a year will be waiting a long long time for that to happen, this is a football crowd ffs. The County fans applauded him off as he trudged off to the bench, i'm not sure i could do that.
