He was given a 'three-year football order'. Bit tough, given that he supports Leeds United. I wouldn't want to be ordered to watch them for three years.....

Mind you, anyone serving the first year of a banning order at the Albion this year has been let off rather lightly.

At Brighton Magistrates’ Court he pleaded guilty to assault by beating and obstructing or resisting a constable in the execution of his duty.

"Beating" a constable in the execution of his duty!!! What does this mean?

"Gagg stepped out of line and has been rightfully punished. As a result of his actions, he won’t be enjoying football matches for the next three years"

Being a Leeds "fan" he hasn't had much enjoyment at matches for a long time anyway.

Well, yes, I think it could be argued that he's served his sentence many times over.

The charges were
1. assault by beating
2. obstructing or resisting a constable

Definition
In some jurisdictions assault is defined as the threat of bodily harm that reasonably causes fear of harm in the victim while battery is the actual physical impact on another person. If the victim has not actually been touched, but only threatened (or someone attempted to touch them), then the crime is assault. If the victim has been touched in a painful, harmful, violent, or offensive way by the person committing the crime, this might be battery. Even a minor touching can qualify as batter providing it is painful, harmful, or offensive to the victim.
