You can be arrested and charged for 'common assault' for hitting someone thats already twatted you. They usually never get to a conviction.

Burns so sick the police were called.

gently caress's sake Raheem, you're a professional footballer, you could have your pick of literally thousands of women who wouldn't refuse sex/piss you off/whatever it was this woman did to make you decide to hit her. If my girlfriend ever wound me up to the point I wanted to hit her I'd just leave and find someone else, and I don't have the luxury of being a pro footballer who can't go five feet without a glamour model trying to fellate me.

Tbh the constant fellatio can sometimes be a curse in disguise for instance when you are at a bank discussing to lower your monthly mortgage payment by 5% or so it can get really awkward

You could charge most of the Premier League with common assault for the "handbags" after every red card if you wished.

The kid's obviously a bit of a twat but it's not like he's killed a man.

Edit : missed the fact it was his mrs he hit, a lot more of a twat than I imagined it seems.

In shocking news, lower league Scottish football might be a bit crooked

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23808606

BBC posted:


Footballer turned journalist Gordon Parks claims he knows of several senior games in Scotland that were fixed to rake in gambling winnings.


Parks gives as "an example" players in a team leading a lower division hosting a game against a side struggling near the bottom.

"No fewer than five of the squad heaped money on themselves to lose and picked up a packet after the game," he writes.

"The cash came in handy for the weekend in Newcastle they had conveniently arranged to coincide with the con."

Parks says the outraged club captain reported it to the team manager only to be told "he had broken the trust of a dressing-room".

"He was soon sent packing after being hit with the threat that his career would be over," Parks said.

Gary 'Goal Machine' Madine is on trial for assault, not a Utd fan this time but one of his own

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-23962813

A Championship footballer broke a fan's nose in a bar fight before shattering a second man's jaw and cheek weeks later in a separate incident, a court heard.

Sheffield Wednesday player Gary Madine, 23, is accused of attacking Owls fan Daniel Beresford in February 2012 and Reece Hall in March 2012.

Prosecutors told a jury at Leeds Crown Court the centre forward was "an arrogant, violent thug" when drunk.

Madine, who has a previous conviction for assault, denies the charges.

Madine is said to have attacked Meadowhall shopping centre worker Mr Beresford in the Paris Bar, in Sheffield city centre, knocking him unconscious and breaking his nose.

Mr Beresford told the court Madine had been staring at him and, when he had asked why, the player lashed out.

He said: "He was one of my favourite players, someone I looked up to."

Defence counsel Alison Dorrell, however, described Mr Beresford as being "fighting drunk" and alleged he had thrown a drink on the player.

Continue reading the main story
Gary Madine profile

Born 24 August, 1990
Signed for Carlisle FC in 2007
Loaned to Rochdale, Coventry City and Chesterfield
Signed for Sheffield Wednesday in January 2011 for an undisclosed fee
In 2012/13 season he made 35 appearances for the Owls scoring four goals
He has made just one appearance as a substitute this season in a league cup game against Rotherham
Madine is further alleged to have assaulted Sheffield United fan Mr Hall in the Viper Room, also in the city centre, after asking him who he supported.

Mr Hall, who did not recognise the Wednesday striker, replied "United", and moments later he was punched in the eye, the court heard.

Prosecutor Ian West said Mr Hall suffered a broken jaw and his cheek was fractured in five places.

The court heard that Madine, originally from Gateshead, already had a conviction for knocking out a man in Carlisle after pleading guilty to the attack in February 2010.

'Drunken punch'
Mr West said: "During his hours of sobriety, Mr Madine is a very fine footballer. However, if you believe the red top newspapers, as often footballers do, they go out at night and drink.

"The prosecution suggest in Mr Madine's case, he in too much drink turns into an arrogant, violent thug."

Mr West added: "He is a very fit and strong young man. You may think Mr Madine is a large centre forward in the old-fashioned English style, and is very much aware of his physical strength, it being so much a part of his job.

"You would think on the third assault that when he throws a punch, especially a drunken punch, late at night in a nightclub, he is really going to cause a lot of damage.

"When thinking about what he was intending, do not forget he is a big, strong lad and he knows what he is capable of."

When Madine played for Carlisle United, he knocked a man unconscious in the Beehive pub in February 2010 after he was refused a drink following closing time and tried to help himself, the court heard. He pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Madine denies causing grievous bodily harm against Mr Beresford, and causing grievous bodily harm with intent against Mr Hall.

The trial continues.

quote:

England player Kyle Walker has been pictured appearing to inhale 'hippy crack' from a balloon while on a night out.

The 23-year-old right-back, who played for England against Moldova in Friday's World Cup qualifier, allegedly sucked in the potentially deadly nitrous oxide several times during a night out in Sheffield, the Sunday Mirror reported.

The laughing gas, which is decanted into balloons and sold for as little as £1.50, is a legal high.

Not when you're recreationally huffing it, it's not. It's also used as a general anaesthetic, which dentists won't do anymore due to the risks involved.

uh it's still used in dentistry. Also in midwifery and yet no-one is howling won't someone please think of the children?!

And maybe it can be dangerous if used with reckless abandon, but that doesn't really differentiate it from other things footballers use in their spare time, such as alcohol and prostitutes.

It's just a brilliant example of the press wanting to tear down the team because it sells more papers. England beat Moldova 4-0, and are on course to qualify quite handily, which becomes boring quickly, but drugged up star + the response from the FA + why hasn't he been dropped + a new campaign to stop this menace sells copy and gets readers.

Every editor in the country prays we get to a World Cup semi final and lose.
