Never been a fan of that to be honest. It's either a football matter or a police matter. No need for two bites at the cherry.

Tend to agree...it should be up to the club if further action is to be taken

I think in this situation, where he's been nicked in public, it automatically becomes a police matter. There are some grey areas though

Oh I agree.....I just can see that if charged and found guilty that the club may decide he shouldn’t be captain...but this is all speculation on my part and I should have been clearer in my first post

At the moment a lot of speculation but not a lot of difference here to the Ben Stokes case. It needs to go to Court for the facts to come out and if proven to be punished accordingly.
If Palace feel fit to punish the player that's up to them, however as with the ECB and Stokes I reckon they will suspend the player until he appears in court or is sentenced.

Yeah I agree but of course there is a difference between being charged and being found guilty. Whilst the likelihood looks like he has misbehaved, just a little bit tired of the police, media, and social media being judge jury and executioner. Leave it to the old bill and let him try to get on with his day job (not that he is doing a lot right now) until he is tried in court. Innocent until proven guilty just doesnt exist anymore

Are you a spokesperson for the Sussex Police? What evidence do you have that Palace fans take weapons to games?
Eye witness at the scene asserts that he was accosted by six people and took his belt off to defend himself. Video clip on twitter consistent with this.

Apparently it was a Brighton fan he tried to attack ?

Whilst I take your point, there are jobs where a conviction would mean getting the sack.
Btnbelle is fishing or trolling.
Which Brighton fan do we know who lives in Reigate? (Paging Simster)

Footballers are role models to many young fans. IMO, if found guilty, JP is not setting a good example, in a club where there is already a problem.
Criminal convictions already have implications for someones employment.

What problem? You must be the only person in the south who still believes that Palace fans had weapons. The tv, radio, local press, national press have all said the police got it wrong and there were no weapons.

Could he be referring to the HF's antics?

Fireworks are weapons at a football match.

So are you saying Puncheon threw a firework?

To be fair a offensive weapon could mean anything to the Police these days including one of these nasty critters .
