More lack of class from Swindon

The scummer knew what he was doing throwing several punches in his 5 seconds of infamy. Swindon Town FC should do nothing less than a life ban.

And then over to the Courts ... the repeated intent was crystal clear, and he deserves time inside prison.

A prison sentence could lead to a 10 year FBO.

apart from going to watch Swindon Town is there anything else to do in Swindon? I can't think of one other attraction.

They have the magic roundabout, try working that out.

Probably on coke. He'll get a life ban from football and a prison sentence for his troubles.

What would happen if he had punched the keeper and the keeper had immediately reacted and knocked him out with one single punch. Not excessive force, all in self-defence. What then? How big a ban would the keeper get?

The most likely outcome would have been that he would have received a red card.

A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality
against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.

He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against
a team-mate, spectator, match offi cial or any other person.

Violent conduct may occur either on the fi eld of play or outside its boundaries,
whether the ball is in play or not.

Advantage should not be applied in situations involving violent conduct unless
there is a clear subsequent opportunity to score a goal. The referee must send
off the player guilty of violent conduct when the ball is next out of play.

Referees are reminded that violent conduct often leads to mass confrontation,
therefore they must try to avert this with active intervention.

A player, substitute or substituted player who is guilty of violent conduct must
be sent off.​

You can't use self defence as an excuse if you get into a punch up with another player. The law on violent conduct (above) includes spectators and players, as there is no different law for spectators that would allow self defence.


However, there would likely be a public outcry at it, such as when the mankini wearing spectator was tripped by a player who was then sent off for it, and so the FA would lift the automatic three match ban.

If he restrained the fan, the ref might have leeway to claim it wasn't "excessive force", but a punch (especially one that knocks someone out) will always be seen as violent conduct.

Good point. It would be at least 3 games for violent conduct though.

 

[The Truth]

What happened to Scott McGleish after celebrating a penalty in front of the Northstand? I've forgotten!

 

[Perkino]

According to the BBC he has been arrested on Suspicion of Pitch Invasion...like there is some kind of doubt in it

Handy for most of Swindon's residents with the driving licence, shame about the few with the one brain cell.

He's 16 years old so will be treated as a youth.
