Sheff UTD fan gets a three-year football banning order ( BBC NEWS ) -

A man who threw a Vimto drink at a police officer following a pre-season friendly between Grimsby Town and Sheffield United has been given a three-year football banning order.
Two officers were injured when glasses, bottles and other items were thrown during fighting on 23 July.
Brett Houlsworth, 29, from Sheffield, admitted assaulting a policeman when he appeared before magistrates in Grimsby.
The court heard he threw Vimto at an officer at a railway station.
He was unhappy that his uncle was being held in a headlock by another officer, magistrates were told.
Houlsworth, of Wadsworth Avenue, was also given an 18-month conditional discharge.

Another man Perry Smith, 30, of Garland Close, Westfield, in Sheffield, pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault by beating when he appeared before the same magistrates.
He is due to stand trial on 29 September.
Two other men, who were charged after the trouble in Cleethorpes, are due to appear at the same court later this month.

nice of them to print the name and address of someone who, as yet, is innocent until proven guilty....

The telewag article says..."we are due to play them again in a few days".....
Is that right??

Well the club should give the game to Sheffield Utd and avoid any problems caused by their fans. I just don't know what the club are thinking about, allowing this game to take place - anyone with half a brain cell can see it's asking for trouble!!

It could have been worse if it was Tango.

Innocent people having their address printed in the paper while policemen found guilty of assault don't even have their names printed

I thought we lived in the USA where you are guilty until proven innocent ?

The guy appeared and was charged in a magistrates court ( open to the public ) and his case was referred to a higher court. Nothing to do with being pre-judged , just the way it works. Once his case appeared in a court then his details are in the public domain. Anyone can attend these courts and consequently are privy to his personal details. All the GET did was report his appearance and charging - it happens at every court open to the public unless the defendant is under age when it is deemed necessary to protect them.
