Dear all,

You may or may not know that Avon and Somerset Police have been pursuing those responsible for the violence a number of us witnessed in the pub garden of the Inn on the Green in Bristol before the Rovers match in April last year.

They were only able to positively identify two of the perpetrators, who eventually pleaded guilty to charges of violent disorder. After a period of deliberation over the exact details of the charges, they have now been sentenced to
-230 hours community service each
-£250 fine
-a five year ban from all League football grounds.

Just thought I'd share the news.

All the best,
Helen.

Thanks Helen.

I doubt they even go to the games so the ban won't worry them. These idiots blight every club and no doubt will do again next season.  :(

Good to hear at least some have been punished

Wheres that thread with the piss take about the young gas mypace pages?

I remember that - wasn't it the bebo crew! Sorry Kru.

Is that it? fucking disgusting

They wouldn't get put down, there is no room left in any of the prisons, hopefully their CS will involve shit shovelling of some form.

I missed this thread, reading through it now.

Must say that I am impressed with Sam's fluency in Chavanese.

They been full for years the system is full of double standards.

Actually looking at the sentence the first two parts are pretty much standard for anything below murder these days.

And.. being rovers they can consider the third part a bonus.

I hope Tubber was one of them

Do you think that maybe the TEF contribution helped in them getting busted?

If so, good work chaps.

Tough looking kids weren't they  :wink:

that one at the bottom cracks me up, i think it's the earring.

I'm also not sure who wears the biggest collar - him or Harry Hill.

this guy was no retard

http://www.manutdzone.com/legends/cantona2.jpg

Yes he was. Great footballer though  :wink:

He was a tad retarded for stamping on John Moncur, and also for Kung-Fu kicking a fan.

Still, even retards can be great footballers. Joey Barton springs to mind.

*folds collor down*

Damn right.

Not long enough, but hopefully all their community service will mean they miss most of next season.

The 5 year ban should see to that as well.

*Nugdes ardilles, and whispers in ear*: "Re-read the quote in the post above yours  :wink: "

I'm surprised they got anyone at all, never mind two! The attackers came and went so quickly, and most victims were too busy covering up to really know what was going on.

And they closed the pub and kicked us all out because of it.

Disagree about the Kung-fu bit, Matthew Simmons (fan in question) was a racist twat who gave out abuse only because he thought he was 'safe in the knowledge' that Cantona 'wouldn't' do anything about it. Notice when Cantona went to hit him (after kung-fu bit) Simmons put his hands up as if to say 'leave me alone, please, mum help'.

Worst kind of spineless bully. Perhaps Cantona in his position shouldn't have done it, but I think good on him.

Im slightly confused here but what did happen exactly as I was in Australia and all I really thought was that it was a bit of banter, it obviously wasn't though......?  :?

Adrian  Gray playing The Power  in Las Vegas now.

Some bloke was shouting at Cantona, and Eric waded into the crowd to kick him.

Surprised that you didn't know this STFCLady.

:shrug:

Heard the odd comment but so many very difficult to know what actually happened.  Didn't realised it had got to the point where people were actually charged as dont know what actually went on!

As for Catona, bloody hoolie  :o

I don't really want to talk about it. It upsets me  :cry:

Evidently!

The only trouble I saw that day was outside the Queen Vic pub - Police had it sorted quite quickly.

When the trouble started we went to go inside the pub only to hear the door slam shut.

I then listened to a Rovers fan trying to convince a police officer that they were all Swindon fans fighting eachother  :-))(

Top player Gray. Manley was on fire the other night against Lewis though. Cracking game!

Bunch of Rovers stormed through through the pub garden fence, tooled up with baseball bats and smashed the buggery out of men women and children, all non-hooligan shirt wearing Swindon fans.

Well that's what the reports say, I wasn't there.

Not only that they stole mobiles that were on the tables...to be fair i was in the Gas supporters club with some faily who follow them and they were a top bunch....but theres no doubt theyve got some nasty twats as well.

 Missed that one,  but Manley was terrible v Tabern, who was even worse.  I guess Tabern was having a reaction to beating Barney.

 Gray looked useful, but that collar  :roll:

ooh i think Adrian is lovely! He had Taylor sweating a little at the start last night i thought. I wanted him to win  :(
Id like to see Manley win this evening, he is my choice darter although i know its unlikely

I don't judge darts players by their looks unless it's Anastasia Dombromoslova

  Can't see manley getting past Wade, although I'd like it if he did.

Trust me...it was terrifying.  Never experienced anything like it in nearly 20 years watching football, and I hope I never do again.  Pre-meditated thuggery and violence on a scale that I'd only previously seen in films.  There was CCTV footage of the thugs gathering in front of the pub before the attack (out of view of those of us sitting out at the back) and even the policemen who took statements from us a few weeks later were shocked by what they saw recorded.

Glad that the two mentioned have been punished.  Sadly, there are something like 25 others out there who have got off scot free.

That's bloody pathetic. Both the sentences and the fact they only got two of them.

Being Bristol, we're lucky they could string two sentences together !

Ize wernt thar!

That's the most coherent thing you've ever written Leefer, congratulations!
