The sentencing guidelines are available on the web for anyone who can click a mouse and read.

I realise that does exclude some people who post on here, but it should really be a first port of call for anyone who wants to criticise "British Justice"

Good lol

what you on about then?
didnt he get a punishment a couple of years ago..so like leon he aint a great advert for kids as well?..

It appears he only pushed someone over a bin, I'd do that to someone as a laugh!

I wouldn't lower yourself to that level. You should know by now that there is a gaggle of self righteous know nowts who proclaim to be knoweldgeable, who will post anything that is against the majority just to get a reaction. Don't rise to it.

Let me clarify. I am calling you a racist.

HTH.

Reasonably.

But, I'm also still open to be convinced that ramming a broken bottle into someone's face, is a measured or justified response to the situation.

They have been given there punishment if we like it or not it will not change.

Kudos goes to the trial judge for getting everyone excited about the severity (or lack thereof) of the eventual sentences.

It seems to me that people got all excited when the judge mentioned that he was thinking of sending one of the key players of our major rivals down. Now he hasn't done that, people seem to think that he has got off.

Had the judge not have mentioned it, its likely no-one would have paid much interest in it today.

Either way he would have been out by the GF, but would probably be absent from the pitch in a more familiar way

To be perfectly honest based on the facts of this case I think the decision is somewhat harsh. Pushing somebody over with a bat in their hand warrants community service ? I suspect he has only been given this due to his previous offences. Anyhow, hopefully he's learnt his lesson now. Whenever he speaks on the tv, he just doesn't come across as this kind of chap.

He doesnt have to be sent down to be a vile thug.

I think being party to the breaking into someone's residence uninvited was the most serious aspect of the case, IMO.
