4 months? That's two months less than Champion swimmer Trenton Oldfield.

The guy ignores banning orders so what is the point of extending it for 5 years.Originally posted by magicalbarnes View Post

could we see the day when magistrates and judges check a database of some sort when considering sentencing to check it is suitable for the crime.
would there be a point of reference for obstruction of a coxed eight, or slapping a goalie while the match was in play

The Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Jordan Archer was attacked by a fan in stoppage time of his side's 1-0 League Two win over Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium on Monday night.
The 19-year-old – who is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur – was placing the ball before taking a goal-kick when the supporter ran on to the field from behind the goal and knocked him over by jumping into his back.
The fan was quickly apprehended by stewards and led away. Archer got up immediately and was able to continue uninjured.
"Some people give the rest of the Gillingham fans a bad name," Wycombe's manager, Gareth Ainsworth, told Sky Sports 1. "I don't want to comment too much, but everyone is OK in there."
The Football Association can be expected to open an investigation into the incident.
That rug really tied the room together.Comment
