I'm sure he will be pleased with his not proven. The PF adding on the sectarian charge probably fucked up winning the case.
MORE BREAKING NEWS from the BBC: Colonel Gadaffi has announced he will give himself up to NATO, but only on condition he will be tried at Edinburgh Sheriff court.
The guy didn't get off scot-free mind, he has spent like 4 months in jail for this on remand. And still has to get sentenced for breach of the peace. It does seem strange to give a 'not proven' for assault, I can only think he made such a poor fist of his attack it was viewed as more of an attempted assault than actual assault, and they thought breach was a more fitting charge for his flailing lunge*. *saying this, I just watched the incident again and he does kind of land a punch/wild swing, so fuck knows.
Nobody as such, I was mainly replying to this. Idk I may have picked it up wrong but I sensed a general attitude that he 'got away with it' (so to speak) when of/c he has still been punished, just using a breach charge instead of assault. It isn't uncommon for breach to be used as a catch-all charge for various public order offences after all.
Me, i thought he had. Must have misread the article. On re-reading i see he has been charged with breach.
Fair enough for us to joke about it, but embarrassing to have our Chief Executive making comments like that at a press conference. Concentrate on delivering what you promised Peter.
I think it's quite funny. There was far worse about the mysterious £9m claim from numerous journo's today.
Arguably Lawwell wouldn't have said anything if the bollocks line about a nameless £9m, offer for Jelavic hadn't got into the press.... Not often I agree with Andy Goram but he's pretty much on the money re Whyte today.
I agree , pity he never said anything when murry was bleeding us dry. Still he has got to make money somewhere.
Mc Coist should stick to the day job(having affairs and tv work). Didnae mind watchin the scrotum on a question of sport but his managerial skills are total pish.
Don't get me wrong, I was pissing myself laughing when I heard about this "mystery bid". I just think he should be focusing on us rather than making cheap jibes about them. Cheap jibes is all that lot can afford mind ...
Hooper has put in a transfer request. He wants to go to the team in another universe as he has no chance of winning the league in this one.
*awaits "typical sellick, they're ae moaning aboot somehing, officials blah conspiracy blah timmy blah" comments*
Careful now, you might trip over your lip.... That said, my own opinion on this is that Sion will win the appeal if so fair dos good luck to them. The WHOLE episode is a fucking joke full stop.
