He was found guilty in a court and given a suspended sentence- there is a Twitter storm brewing and boycott has suspended his account

Read the court transcript, he does not come out well at all. Some of his behaviour was bizarre, lucky he didn't get jailed for contempt of court let alone anything else.

The accuser didn’t come out that well I’m the end either though did she?

Not really sure about her, someone put up Boycotts performance the other day when this broke
His behaviour was very strange and I'd imagine he had an expensive brief who he must have totally ignored which is bizarre.

The frenzy makes boycott now like Peter Sutcliffe. No doubt his morality levels are not great but serial screwing isn’t a crime. It’s an hilarious tale you couldn’t make up. However it’s a sign of the times when people don’t look at the details
Geoffrey was set up as he couldn’t keep his middle stump in his trousers

Basically they’d had an affair for a while. He had s long term girlfriend and refused to marry her as he wanted to keep shagging and thought that if he married her his mum would believe he’d not be behaving well. As long as he wasn’t married he thought he could shag who he liked
Crucially the woman said she was minted so Geoffrey thought he could get a nice few free holidays if he kept shagging her. Sadly she had no money and thought Geoffrey a tight bastard would save her from going bankrupt - fat chance love
It seems they had an argument, she got pissed and fell on the floor smashing her face in
Didn’t put Geoffrey off as he shagged her for the rest of the week.
She then said give me a million quid or I’ll say you beat me up. Geoffrey tells her to fuck off.
She wins in court and is awarded one franc in damages. Geoffrey’s character witnesses - an obscure Carry On actress he’d been shagging for years and his girlfriend who he’s always been shagging - didn’t help.
She gets even more pissed years later and admits to her mate she fell on the floor and poor old Geoffrey did nothing wrong
Arise Sir Geoffrey? He’s never had it down!

He would have got away with it if it wasn’t for that pesky doctor being an expert witness.

All this prob not good for him after his heart op. Plus when he goes to accept the accolade he'll complain about the Queen's sword handling. "You don't hold a sword like that love. Bloody rubbish!"

He'd be even more critical of that! "That's not how you 'knight' someone! Straight bat woman! All you're doing there is nicking it straight to 1st courtier. And the off-stump of your throne's exposed. Your corgi could do better than that. And while you're at it get yourself a proper dog - a Yorkshire Terrier"

SIR Ian Botham was convicted on drugs charges, wasn't he? Is that criminality more acceptable?

is taking drugs recreationally more acceptable than beating up a woman, come on mate, do you really need to ask?

The point i was trying (inelegantly) to make is that knighthoods shouldn't be given (IMHO) to anyone with a criminal record.

oh right, apologies I misunderstood.

Does Botham have a criminal record or did he just fail a drugs test and get a ban?

He is a brilliant pundit and the sheer disdain the official setup have for him is, quite frankly, embarrassing.

Whatbdo you mean? Like lack of a coaching role?

If/when you follow the England cricket players in the media, whenever points that Boycott has made are raised in interviews they just bat it back saying “well that’s his thoughts but we don’t need the negativity, we’ll just concentrate on our own game”. It’s obvious that they don’t like the straight talking nature of him, but he’s usually right and pretty blunt about it.

Yeah i think it hurts him that art of test match batting isnt picked up by new generations as much as he would like
