[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Enjoy your appointment after training tomorrow.

Southampton striker Lee Barnard bailed again after alleged assault From Daily Echo)

 

[Rowdey]

dated 6th October...?!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

He has to answer police bail tomorrow (see end of article).

 

[Barrel of Fun]

10th December, he is due back.

There was a lovely bit of denial from a Southampton fan on another forum. He had heard and was convinced that Barnard smashed a bottle in the face of a man, whilst trying to regain his balance.

Hope he gets sent down. I really don't like the little twat.

Over the past few months I've come to realise that saints fans are actually really, really thick! There was one on talksport the other day, he was supposed to be talking about pardew but started banging on about how they were going to win the league and some other complete nonsence. Every time I read a comment from them or hear them speak they always sound utterly stupid.

HAHA Excellent.

I'm sure the Judge will give this defence a sympathetic hearing.

I thought this was a thread linking us with him!

I'd never really paid much attention to them before we ended up in the same league again.

They really are delusional. Apparently the rumour of the sale of the club in the Sun was just mischief as the club had 'pissed off' the paper with their press ban. As if the Sun would be pissed off with that. It is not as if they were planning a double page spread of a third division non-entity.

Mind you, they are massive. Their new training complex has plans for a 'ball signing' room. Their stadium is better than Hillsbrough as they have more toilets per head.

Southampton striker Lee Barnard charged with actual bodily harm From Daily Echo)

16 to 34 weeks custodial sentence, apparently.

Edit: Ignore that bit about the sentence. I'm not sure how the poster would know.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Pikey scumbag.

 

[Sam Ovett]

He'll miss the game against us?

Sentencing Manual: Offences against the person: Assault occasioning actual bodily harm

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Just a reminder that Mr Barnard is scheduled to appear at Southampton Magistrates Court this Wednesday to answer the ABH charge.

 

[tubaman]

If it's being heard and dealt with at a Magistrates court don't build your hopes up. Maximum 6 months imprisonment which won't happen and if they do give a custodial sentence it will be suspended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the real world this means he will walk away with a slap on the wrist.

 

[BensGrandad]

No magistrate in Southampton is going to send him down. The best we could hope for is a remand on bail to Crown Court.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Saints just signed another striker so maybe they're worried he'll be away for a period of time

I would be extremely suprised if this is heard in the magistrates court. Even if he pleaded guilty it would probably be committed to the Crown court for sentencing.

 

[BensGrandad]

Doubt if he will get sent down as ABH is a next to nothing assault charge that will probably end up in community service maximum

"District Judge Lorraine Morgan agreed with the prosecutor that the case was too serious to be heard in the Magistrate's Court, and must be heard in the Crown Court.

Barnard entered no plea, and must return to the Magistrate's Court on 31st March, for the case to be committed to the Crown Court."





Obviously being taken pretty seriously, but unlikey to affect this season now. Come the 31st March, they will set a Crown Court date, presumably a couple of months later?
