Just checked the sentencing guidelines to see if the judge had decided to make an example of him by giving the maximum sentence. Seems the maximum sentence is, rather shockingly, life imprisonment!

It's a catch all charge for things they have legislated specifically for i.e. pissing on a memorial to a dead copper.

I do like how they are instantly "football thugs". It's almost as if there's some irony in the stereotyping.

They are just pricks.

Fucking hell. I was bored at work so decided to procrastinate and read this thread. Well, what a mistake, I'm raging on behalf of Hill and also about 2 hours behind on work. Many a bellend, but thank christ that prick was banned. Absolutely disgraceful and, Hill, not sure how you managed to keep it together quite as well as you did. You should never have had to put up with that, but especially not in 2020.

I can’t say I’m surprised. Not because I think he deserves a jail sentence (personally I think a fine would have been more than reasonable) but because the government has looked weak on racism so want a headline. A headline rather than action. Action along the lines David Lammy is talking about here.

I think it’s because the so called Football Lads Alliance were one of the organisers.

Funny how people like lineker were all over a video of city fans chasing those lads but no mention if theres a gang of blm protestors (I say protestors, just trouble makers kicking off using a different excuse) kicking fuck out of somebody.

I think a lot of people are trying too hard to show they are pc but they are going to end up doing more harm. That's media, celebrities, influencers. The message is being lost. Just the same as when people were showing they loved the NHS more.

Nothing like stereotyping eh.....?

If anything all this proves is that they're not 'football thugs', they're thugs. There is no football involved so what has that go to do with it? Football is just the unfortunate thing these morons attach themselves to in order to go around acting like twats. But give them another excuse like this one and they'll use it.

What else could I do though on the internet to be fair. I’d be nursing a sore fist if it was in the street.

Same for all of the trouble that's gone on.

Wasn't there somebody stood on a war memorial trying to burn a flag?

There needs to be some balance and consistency.

People were getting their heads stamped on, wonder what jail sentences they will give out?

You know what. Maybe not stamping on someone’s head. But I’d happily kick the fuck out of a racist c**t.
And I’m by no means an aggressive person but there’s a line.

I think that's been missed. There are a fair few cases of groups of blm people crowding around stamping on other people.

It's no different to the edl type cunts in the park but again like we saw in Coventry, people don't want to face up to particular actions and accept that there are wrong uns in all "groups".

It will get to a point where it will be people thinking they can do whatever the fuck they want because so and so is.

as I said the person most likely to be a fan of his has been banned.

22nd July is also the day that Cressida Dick proved you can come back from killing an innocent man on your watch

If it was in the real world the other day when coventrian was being a c**t I'd have stood watch and warned you if people were coming. Somebody gave that city fan a slap who made that video, blind eye turned.

There has to be balance though, this is more a media issue who seem intent on stirring things.

It's a bit different having 15-20 blokes jumping on one person though. I'm not saying he isn't racist, it's more than likely he was but it doesn't excuse a pack jumping in like that.

People don't seem to want to accept there are thugs, trouble makers and pricks kicking off at all angles.

A bloke pissing up a memorial is an utter c**t, no respect at all but he's been in court and sentenced within a couple of days.

The thing that strikes me with the Brooks video is that he's running away from police, but they found him asleep in his car. How hard could he have been to just find a bit later?

Compare this to the headlines when it was about city fans.


"Innocent white man brutally beaten group of by thugs" would be the equivalent. is lineker saying it's disgusting?

It just shows people nowadays, everybody wants to film it. Compare that to the guy who waded in to help.

I've also seen one of a scrawny white lad kick off with a man mountain and get knocked out. It wasn't a pack, it wasn't a big group stamping on heads.

Bystander apathy has been around as long as people have, I remember getting violently mugged in the middle of town when I was a kid with people walking past at rush hour.

The filming thing is apparently a psychological attempt to distance yourself from what’s happening I read.

Running like fuck is the best way to distance from it. Its like that attack on police the other day in London, the lad was filming himself and jumping around excited like he was presenting a TV show.

The bloke who pissed against the monument deserves jailing if he was there to be a racist prick, but not for urinating.
He's had some pop, needed to go and found a corner. ​
We must have all done that at some point and if he was doing because of what it was he'd have peed on the plate, not at the side of it. Still most likely he's a c**t, but jailing him for that is wrong imo.

TBH he probably hadn't even seen the memorial. Jail I thought was very harsh - fine would've done. If he got jailed for that gonna be a lot of new inmates from the past week or so.
