woodmally Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Do our magistrates ever live in the real world. Someone lobs a tangerine and gets a huge court case, and all the expense, and gets banned from matches for 3 years http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/sheffield-wednesday-fan-banned-from-matches-for-three-years-1-7096724 Yet serious criminals get piddling sentences handed to them. I just wish our magistrates had some common sense and guidlines for sentencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo hoo he has been ordered to pay a couple of hundred quid fine. Boo hoo, he has been banned from attending football matches. GOOD. If this 29 year old civil servant wants to behave like a thug damn right they should be banned. Perhaps they will learn to grow up over the next three years. Magistrates made a perfectly good decision in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, i think he got off lightly considering he didn't actually get 'sentenced'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
