| From the statement that Saints have put out on the Official Site it sounds like they will be discussing it at the next board meeting.

| As a Rovers fan, and after the Ben Cockayne situation, and yes I know what Cockayne did was worse, a lot worse, I don't think Pryce should have any further punishment put upon him by the club.
Saint will use I'm sure that in court it was stated that he was there as peacekeeper and at the end of it all, he pushed someone to the ground, Ryan Bailey near on kicks the out of someone every week but gets away with it as it's on the pitch.
I for one hope that Pryce, one of the best british players on his day, carries on doing what he does best as part of a very good Saints team.

They sacked him for failing a medical you moron. They knew he was going to court before they initially picked him up.

| So...in your jobs? What would happen? I for one would be sacked were I convicted of assault. I'm sure a lot of you would too.
Why should it be different for him?
But I bet Saints do nothing.

Your correct Saints will do nothing and rightly so. As for anyone else getting sacked for this kind of thing it would depend on your line of work.

Most employers if you were one of the most pivitol workers in the country at your job and important to the success of the business would keep you on. Money talks.

Community service seems to be a reasonable punishment. He should have been ordered to do it in the sweaty mankini though.'"
I hope he does it in Bradford, in a bright yellow jacket.

Thats nothing to do with Justice, just how an employer would react, which is business not justice.

So a job where you are a role model in the community? A job where you have an influence over children who might look up to you and aspire to be like you?
A job like that it would be important to have someone without two convictions for assault I would have thought. You disagree?

| I'd give him a week off and let it be known that we were suspending him for a week.

Look, saints will make a business decision. Leon is a grest earner for us and his actions will not affect that, so he will be retained. Simple. The morals of this are another question, but its how the world works.

So had Pryce not been who he is, with the money he has, and the legal representation he had, he would have got off with the same would he?
No, I don't think so either. Money talks.

He pushed someone, thats it. Get over it. Never ever was he going to prison for that.
If I were to push someone in the street (not saying i would mind) i might get a caution, thats all, if the rozzers didnt just send me home with a flea in my ear.
