The Egyptian courts have recently sentenced eleven men to death for their part in football violence. A certain way of preventing any reoffending, methinks.

The judge in the Atherstone case doesn't have that option, but he can hand out a sharp slap on the wrist and a short spell in one of Her Majesty's holiday camps.

3 guilty, 3 not guilty Ste. Think they said they will get sentenced after all of the trials

Yeah I think I read that too. I know they need to have pre-sentence reports anyway which I think is a few weeks at least.

They let me out a bit earlier today for good behaviour when giving my evidence and just getting back. Hopefully that is me done now but it wasn't too bad. Obviously can't say anything further about it or I might end up in the dock myself.

If anyone who still has to go down has any questions about the process then feel free to PM me.

There's the other lot who pleaded guilty and didn't go to trial awaiting sentence when all the trials are over. I think there were 11 of them.

Correct! But they all have the option of becoming budding artists under Rolf's tuition.

Yes we are happy about the outcome of this trial too. You should be as well if you read through the court report unless you think it is excusable to attack and kick a disabled man.
Well done Si and Louie and any others who made sure justice was done.

Did you manage to get done in the day?

From chatting to the witness care guy who looked after us I have heard that several of Atherstone's "real" fans also gave evidence which helped the convictions so thanks to them also as that could have been far more of an ordeal with living locally to some of these idiots.
