So will his 24 weeks become 12 weeks if he behaves himself in the nick....

I've a feeling there'll be further punishment handed out to him when he's on the inside & he won't be looking forward to that

Quoted from aldi_01
The simple fact is, it happened, he’s been arrayed and will no doubt face his punishment. End of story.

We can debate all we want but the reaction from some proves why this will always be a weird thing to discuss. We’ve got people on here paranoid someone’s gonna get shivved up without any real evidence rod that ever happening to a player again a sporting event in this country and then we’ve got folk who literally don’t seem arsed and are indifferent.

Pitch invasions like that one at forest have been part of the game for donkeys years. It won’t go away, and this is an isolated incident. I wonder if the United player will be dealt with by the police for assaulting a fan? Either way, the pitch invasion looked mega and it’s safe to say that apart from those in the upper tiers pretty much everyone was on the pitch having a good time.

There’s always a level of hysteria when something like this isolated incident happens, perhaps because they’re so rare they magnified beyond sensible levels?

Anyway, remember, blue and red smokies for Monday, keep your Gak safe and remember, best running shoes to get over the train barriers and the predictable pitch invasion as town run out 8-0 winners…


It may be an isolated incident but how often does an "isolated incident" have to occur before something serious happens and action has to be taken?

24 weeks! Sweet Jesus that’s terrible


Hard one isn't it. Very lenient sentence, but then there's not much benefit to keeping someone locked up in terms of rehabilitation or effectiveness at reducing crime (it is literally just for the punishment part).and we simply don't have the space or staffing in the prison system at the moment to give people lengthy sentences as a deterrent

"Mr Biggs has, to his credit, turned himself in."

Yeah fair play, Biggsy. They'd never have caught him otherwise.

He will effectively be out by the start of next season and probably going to Forest games under a disguise of some sort.

I think there is a strong case for a longer sentence and I'm genuinely surprised at the leniency. The fact that Billy Sharp only needed 4 stitches and no lasting injury is irrelevant and just pure luck - if the head butt had struck the cheekbone / eye socket area it could have been much more serious. This sentence is more like that for a drunken street brawl than a serious assault on someone in their place of work.

If someone is banned from attending football matches for a period of time - how is this enforced?
