Five charged over Forest FA Cup violence

Depends if they “caused those inside great anxiety and distress, including a young child who was heard screaming", and it constituted “a serious disruption which had a severely detrimental impact on the community" involving "widespread, large-scale acts of violence”.

 

 

If that were the reasoning behind the harsh sentencing why aren't the Leicester City squad and management who took part in the 4th round of the FA Cup last February serving a similar sentence. Traumatised for life.

Smashing stuff up at a football game is a bit of a dick move, which ever way you look at it. They’ve been made an example of, as they’ve got prior I’d imagine and the prosecution service have easy evidence to convict them.
 

It the same as if any of us decided to smash a bar or shop Up randomly in the middle of the day. We’re likely getting caught on CCTV and getting pulled. It’s an easier conviction.
 

Burglary or fraud are horrible crimes, as they’re almost personally. Unfortunately the police force don’t have an infinite pool of resources to investigate crimes

like we’d all like them to. This is why conviction rates are significantly lower.

A few weeks ago a six year football banning order would’ve been a blessing not a punishment

That's normally my 'go to' post when I've not had much rep for a while. Now I'm going to have to wait longer to use it again.

Coke used to be a glamorous and sought after drug, now reduced to inbreds and ugly societal dregs shoving it up one of their four nostrils in the back of a white van in whitwick. Sad 

You shouldn’t worry about the image of it too much, do what makes you happy

I would rather be unhappy for life than have anything in common with the likes of ‘flinty’ - probably one of those nonce types who calls it ‘a line of beak’

Think some Forest were arrested too but no where near as many as Leicester.

 

I know for a fact more LCFC fans are due in court tomorrow. (Friday).

Christ, Craig Flint...having been away from the area for some years I had no idea what had become of him.

 

Went to school with him through the years and then vaguely remember seeing him strut around off his tits now and again at Passion in Coalville.

 

Always staggered me at school how well he did with the girls despite looking like he had about 50 teeth too many his chops.

He did time a few years ago for a Dyson repair fraud thing too.

They were ‘going to the game’ until someone came out of the pub to verbally abuse and attack them. 
 

Totally agree it’s the wrong action of how to deal with that but there’s plenty of football fans what get caught in those situations with full intentions of just having a normal, simple day down the football 

The vast majority of fans have never got caught up in those situations and most that have just walk on by. They were probably shouted at because they looked like a bunch of idiots that would react... and they bloody well reacted 

 

It's the match going equivalent to "Wind him up, he's thick, he'll get himself sent off"

The pimp also always used my bin

 

One of the classic FT phrases

The worst part is, as we watched the pimp just stuff all of his excess trash into our bin on collection day, the wife wanted me "to talk to him and tell him to stop." Guy looked like an extra from The Sopranos. I demurred, because I didn't want to die.

 

Later I found out it is not illegal to stuff your excess garbage into the neighbor's bin, since the bin belongs to the Council. I would have hated getting shot by a pimp who was actually in the legal right.

The “Proper fan” thing never washes.  They’re as much of a fan as we are, they just choose to act like a plum. One of footballs great misnomers.

Surely a proper fan prefers to attend games rather than get a ban from them?

Perhaps those attacking the sentance should start a petition or make a flag for the next home game.

"FREE THE FOREST FIVE"

"JUSTICE FOR THE FOREST THUGS"....

Is that a new line of children's books?

Must admit, I'm interested.

You're more than welcome to look like an idiot if you want to, just don't cry if you're arrested for acting like one when provoked

He can’t be a proper Leicester fan as he is the exact opposite of a bin dipper

The proper fan thing doesn’t wash because it doesn’t exist. My idea of a “proper” fan is probably miles off a lot of peoples so it’s pointless trying to play moral Minnie over it. They also don’t go to a game to get a ban, it’s just the way the cookie crumbles. 

[OntarioFox]

Funny thing is, the way the justice system works usually means harsher sentences for people with previous criminal records.

 

'Lobbing a chair' and smashing up property if you're clean but have a moment of madness isn't going to put you behind bars. Doing it when you've already done time is probably going to get you another holiday at His Majesty's Pleasure.

 

I'd be interested to know if any of these 'Forest Five' have a clean criminal record. It's already been established that 'Flinty' doesn't. It's not making a statement, they're just really easy convictions to make when they're well-known to the police and seem to take turns sharing a communal braincell.

I'm not deciding, but do you want fans that bring the club into disrepute for their actions,
