Who is who ?

Looks like Walsall were coming down the hill at the start

Nobody got "four years". Read the article - 18 months was the longest jail sentence. The banning orders were four years, but that is not what you implied.

Leaving aside "A police officer from Shropshire whose leg was broken" as a possible reason for the sentencing and looking at cautions for rape, a not uncommon scenario is one where there is a girl of 15 who has engaged in a fully consensual sexual relationship with a boy of 16/17. Technically and legally he is committing rape and if an unhappy parent reports it to the police it is often the case that a caution is the most pragmatic solution.

Common sense.

Were the CCTV operators playing "hoolie bingo" ?

Were the CCTV operators playing "hoolie bingo" ?

That's what I was think at first, kept following the numbers around the screen. Had to re-watch it and forget about the bingo numbers.

just like cockneys down at our place

Interesting you can't see any injured police in the video, I bet one of them fell over walking up the road and blamed it on the fighting to get a bit of compo!

why dress in a yellow stone island jacket and when it comes to it be a complete bouncy melt!!

looked to me like Shrewsbury liked having the numbers at the start but didn't fancy it as much when Walsall came from the pub

I remember seeing a policeman after that Shrewsbury last game of the season (2001?), with a horrible leg injury, quite possibly broken, his shin looked like it had been hit real hard with something pointy. His face was white as a sheet. very nasty

Always amuses me how many views these threads get

 

[Napper]

The guy in the yellow jacket is comedy gold

What a joke he is . Bet he can't show his face on match day now

Good use of the phrase 'toe-to-toe' though

 

[El Presidente]

Anyone up in Shrewsbury for our last game a few years back, wasn't there but heard it was naughty.

Prison for a few handbags while rapists get a caution. Has this country lost it's marbles?

Not sure about this country, but I'm sure Greece has lost theirs!

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Chris, I think it was more the Walsall mongs ....

Soccer hooligans begin jail terms after brawl costs public £60,000
A town centre brawl before a Shrewsbury Town game cost the public nearly £60,000, it has been revealed.

Up to 30 football fans have received prison sentences and 4-10 years football banning orders for a violent brawl which occurred on 14th October 2012 between Shrewsbury Town and Walsall in Shrewsbury Town Centre.

A police officer from Shropshire whose leg was broken in the massive town centre brawl has still not fully recovered a year later, it was revealed in court, as more football hooligans were jailed.

The court watched CCTV of the ugly scene which involved multiple fights with men kicking, punching and flooring one another as the out of control crowd descended down the street.

Sentencing Judge Graham Cliff said: “This was in a public place where members of the public were no doubt frightened, inconvenienced and in which a police officer was injured.”

Fans were given jail sentences ranging from 6 months to 18 months in prison and 2 fans were given 250 hours community service.

Football hooliganism has been rising in the lower divisions in the last few seasons and the Authorities are now clamping down hard on it.

Last sentence interesting, probably the type of fan who wants bovver doesn't want to shell out £40+ for a ticket..

One thing to remember apart from the south Shrewsbury has pretty good rail access and MANY decent pubs it's a good day out !

 

[drew]

Always good to see a few more morons behind bars. Downside is they'll probably do the same again when they get out!!!

Our last game was a JPT match which we won on penalties as John Sullivan saved one. It was in 2008, and no sign of any trouble, handbags or other as I was there.

Like you have a clue about what this is all about.
Straight off the jolly bus and into the ground, straight out of the ground and into the jolly bus after the match.
