incident at South Park Common Lincoln

Hi all, i am the lad who got arrested after the game on boxing day and i do require help... i orginally got arrested for AFFRAY but then i got to the police station and they must of realised they didnt have evidence so theyve dropped it to a section 4 public order act which i was told by my solicitor isnt to bad. Personally i think the lincoln police didn't care about grimsby supporters saftey,i was with 3 friends and a 50 year old man,we was confronted by 20/30 lincoln fans who came towards us as we was walking to our car, i acted in self defence and threw a punch at 2 lads who had chased my friend over the road...the next thing im in the back of the police van arrested. The lincolnshire police are asking for a ban as this was after a football match, so i need anyone to come forward who see the incident please!!!

Quoted from voice of reason

Seen it all before mate... It's not about helping others it's all about the limelight... Anyway just saying it as I see it, that's what these places are for isn't it...??? ya know just like you're saying it as you see it when calling me a sharp object...

Your comments are so far off the mark and uncalled for.

I get you do not like me and I will not lose sleep over it.

I have not had the time with work to get to Aalst.

As for the pub people were not interested so it was left.

Now can we get back to the original reason for the post.

Matthew does not have an account. If you saw what happend please email mr.

I have had a bit of p1ss take banter about ian's ideas for the club as much as anyone. fair play to him, he came up with the same ideas that it took the trust 1/2 a million quids worth of shares and an elected committee to come up with!
In this instance, i think he just wants a bit of justice for the town lads.  

i never saw that incident but that mob if thats wat you can call it they was f ing embarrasing by any stretch of the imagination bunch of scruffy divs sorry to hear they picked on the wrong people just wan'@ers mate

Not sure that is self defence is it? So they may have you by the short and curlys there....
However you have four witnesses and if one of them is a 50 yr old then you should be able to present a pretty realistic account of what happened to verify your actions in a threatening situation.
If however you gave a full statement at the time of the arrest without a brief present and described attempting to hit two people then again you may have said too much already for your own good.  

So you were confronted by 20/30 Lincoln fans who attacked your group of 3.  Self defence if ever I've seen it, it doesn't matter how many punches you throw, if you feel in danger and think you will end up seriously injured then you may use the minimum amount of force as necessary to ensure your own safety and that of your group.

I'd get a good solicitor and put a complaint in straight away on the officer who arrested you and the senior office in charge.

Heard it all now 20/30 toothless bell ringers attacking 3 fella's, one who is in his 50's.  There was enough OB in unmarked cars and at the park to have known and saw what went on.  I hope you get some witnesses to this pathetic assault.

Alright mate
Well whatever you do dont plead guilty.the police will say'' look we've lowerd the charge and you'll get a slapped wrist'
the fact they have already lowerd the charge means they have nothing on you .you wont be going to prison if you get found guilty of a section 4.get a solicitor and fight it all they we .once they know your willing to fight the charge they'll probably drop it anyway.
too many people take the guilty option when theres a great chance of being found not guilty on football charges .if you go guilty they'll ban you and get a fine .if you go not guilty they'll ban you and you'll get a fine ...so what you got to lose ?
get as many witness statements as you can because you can be sure the aggressive lincoln fans will not turn up in court or give statements

All depends what you said on interview really.
Also, if they threw no punches at you, then your copulated no matter how threatened you felt.

The section 4 will just be a ban and a fine.

If they threw a punch or kick at you then definitely go not guilty.

If 20 people are threatening you then your well within your rights to deffend yourself ,waiting for them to assult you first is not the best option.
Not guilty all the way or you'll just become another easy satistic for the inept lincolnshire police force

I cannot beleive VOR your comments are ridiculous, there's no need to jump on Ian's back, and its quite ironic that you say he just wants the limelight, when this is all you have done in this post. I suggest you change your username to something more appropriate like Voice Of Shite.

As for the incident, we were in the car going past the park when we heard police vans arriving, i didnt see anything that happened, but I hope you do not get banned for this, you should fight it all the way, excuse the pun.

Respect to Ian too for trying to help!
