Shame Power has ditched the model.... QPR, slightly off the rails, would have been a good match for us.
Might not have been the best move for him though - a player looking to rebuild his self-esteem, "Here you go, drop down to Div 4, your career's on the skids" |

No casinos in Swindon mind. Had Rikki got his way, one in the CG could have been a particular lure for the likes of Caulker |

That's been on the local news up here for months, I forgot the sentencing was yesterday. The fact that the stiffest sentence any of them got was 5 years, which they won't serve is an utter abomination. |

They were charged with violent disorder, 5 years is the maximum sentence. If they'd additionally been charged with GBH (i.e. for the harm they did as well as the public order aspect), I'd imagine the sentences would have been much stiffer. Guessing here, but I assume either the coppers or the CPS bottled the GBH charge as for that they'd have had to prove exactly who did what, whereas violent disorder they need only prove that the defendants participated in the general violence. |

I suppose it is because they were convicted of 'violent disorder' which was the most serious offence they could pin on them because of the nature of what happened i.e it was unclear exactly who did what and when etc. It still stinks though. That poor bloke and his family have had their lives ruined and I would imagine those scum bags will be out in 3 years or thereabouts, maybe less.
Edit: You beat me to it Paul - ain't justice is it?...

No, not at all. There was clearly evidence that some of the group were main movers though, hence the difference in sentencing. I'm surprised they didn't try charging them with GBH, or some variant of conspiracy to commit, joint enterprise/common purpose etc. But clearly I only know what has been reported, there may be very good reasons the coppers/CPS didn't think that would fly.

I seem to remember a couple of incidents ( Sunderland Wembley tube train and Gillingham away involving their main pub ) involving town fans where they either got away with it or got off light which seemed to revolve around the police being able to place the fans at the scene, knowing what was done, but not who did what.
