This article is from November 17th, so a couple days old, but I found it worthwhile.

    To be criminally charged for this is absolutely insane. The fact everyone knows he’s a lowlife and his name is out there is enough.

      Yeah for me the world has gone too soft. I don’t see a crime to be honest there worth going to court for. It was utterly stupid and disgusting what he did but I feel like going to court was too far for it.

      Let the club ban him and the media report on it but it feels excessive as he’s already lost his job and any future employer will see what he’s done with any background check.

      People should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, I’m sure he’s not a bad person at all just did a stupid thing and now will pay for the rest of his life.

          Look at the thread about Grealish yesterday, people saying he’s such a lovable guy yet he drove and wrote his car off while absolutely steaming.

          Anyone can make a mistake in the heat of the moment with alcohol involved. Imagine one mistake defining you for the rest of your life. If he’s acknowledged the mistake learned from it and makes him a better person then that’s much more important than villifying him and going to court over such a thing.

          I don’t agree with a criminal offence and going to court over the matter.

      It’s a public order offence though? And his sentence was suspended. I don’t get the issue.
