I wonder if this guy is regretting his actions this morning ?
I didn’t realise it was a headbutt.

Just picked up on this.
Pity Billy didn't deck him but he' d have got into trouble over that with FA.
These pitch invasions are becoming an issue as are these bluddy flares [Post edited 18 May 2022 9:54]

Video of Oli Mcburnie booting a forest fan on the floor on social media. He has more assaults this season (2) than goals (0). | | | |

The trouble is when someone does something like that in that particular circumstance the judge often likes to make an example of the offender. |  |

Sharp seems a class act, could have been a lot worse.
Some great memories running on the pitch as a youngster, this idiot will probably (rightly) put an end to that.
The Hull game is fast slipping out of my memory, only remember parts from the game. But the scenes at the end I’ll never forget.

Victim had a cut eye so presumably charged with s47 assault.
It’s likely court will would’ve found the offence was B1.
B is culpability. So a head butt is deemed to be a weapon equivalent but not a highly dangerous one (hammer, acid eg)
Harm is 2. Sharp had stitches but that’s not serious as far as this type of assault is concerned.
Guidelines then say B2, starting point is 36 weeks.
He entered an early plea, so is entitled to a 1/3 discount which takes it down to 24 weeks.
I’d imagine his solicitors will appeal. No idea if he’s got previous but they’ll argue he should get a suspended sentence if they can show there’s a reasonable prospect of his being rehabilitated. Very much doubt it will be successful, judge won’t interfere with it, I’d have given him the same thing, but he’s nothing to lose.
By the time the appeal comes through he will have served around a month or so, which helps if he’s no previous.
Life ban from his club too.
Thoroughly deserved sentence. Has to be a deterrent message sent out |  | | |

Should be a lot longer in my opinion, he had entered an area that was out of bounds to fans and I thought it was an offence in law to go on to the field, but I can forgive that as there were thousands more, but to than an go and attack a player, dear me.
Could understand the sentence if the attack happened out on the street, but surely not on a professional football field and an attack on an opposition player doing his job. [Post edited 20 May 2022 10:38]

Morally I don't disagree but the court has to follow the guidelines
Looks like in this case any aggravating and mitigating features, (no previous, eg, attacking someone in place of work, young family, lose his income, and possibly house, not prolonged assault) will have balanced each other out, which is why the starting point was not changed. | | | |

Idiot is being generous. He's over30 , I'd honestly expected it to be some drunk 19 year old, not someone his age.
I don't think the sentence is good enough either. 24 weeks, it should be double that.
I read jonalots post and honestly, we are too soft on these....people! At 24 weeks maybe we should be tacking 12 months community service on the end too?
In a previous life though, I was Judge Jefferies! | | | |

Imagine if he had attacked him with a knife or other weapon, there's enough loose screws out there who would and no doubt do carry weapons.  | |
