Quote: phil webbo "Quite agree MR, it's like magistrates court, a good friend of mine is on the bench and because people are given stricter sentences if they plead not guilty, they generally all plead guilty, he said he has sat there on the bench thinking the weight of evidence was in the defendants favour yet they're too afraid to chance it and risk a higher penalty, so I assume the rational would be the same with Red Hall.'"
I should've added in my original explanation that you're perfectly entitled to challenge the charge and not just use your EGP, Phil.
having talked to 1 or 2 of the players and a former coaching staff member about the madness of the EGP farce in the past they all said the same, with a match commissioner at every match and every game reviewed on the Monday at Red Hall the feeling is that if you've been picked out for a charge you might as well take the EGP whether you're guilty or not as the panel then look at the same evidence and pretty much everyone is then found guilty ignoring what you or even the injured party says in your mitigation! I guess the Mitch Allgood case bucked the trend thankfully
