OxonOwl Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Maybe they should also investigate how an unemployed labourer from Cheltenham can afford to watch Leeds United home and away. Easy, he's a professional fraudster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest intercity0wl Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) I've never understood the defence that "I had drunk too much." Basic personal responsibility- nobody else was pouring drinks down your neck son. If you can't handle it, don't drink it. To be fair i used it a few times when i was married, and it usually was followed by the same end game as friday, me getting a slap.

TrickyTrev Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hang on. Unemployed but can afford to travel from Cheltenham to Sheffield, can afford a ticket and can afford all that drink? Where does the money come from? He lives with his mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortlandOwl Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Not sure that the courts can do much more At least they got him and lets hope hes banged up in the nick full of Wednesdayites !!

TrickyTrev Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 As he claimed to be a 'professional fraudster' on his facebook perhaps the Old Bill should be asking to see his bank account? I think that claim had more to do with the size of his wee wee tail than the size of his bank balance. Quite clearly he doesn't have the intelligence to be a professional fraudster.

H2Owl Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I don't care how much he had to drink. Drink is no excuse. What about the reason he got a banning order in the first place? And all the times he breached it? Drunk then too no doubt. If that was me waking up to the severity of my actions that i 'don't remember' i would never drink again. A disgrace to Leeds United, the wider football community and the human race. Complete scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are all extremely valid points and ones that should be asked A drunken accident/incident - fair enough - hold your hands up, take your punishment and move on and learn Repeated offences = VERY different Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Excuses, excuses. If he were that drunk as he claims, there is no way he'd scale the wall over and back and then run up the gangway like he did. And despite being that drunk, he then made an early exit asking a steward to open the gate for him. That's someone who knew exactly what they were doing and who wanted to 'escape' in case they were looking out for him. 16 weeks = absolute joke = no deterrent whatsoever.

Guest MASSIVE1867 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 But not too drunk to run in a straight line back into the crowd, and then use twitter to boast about it, and sneak out of the ground like the rat he is. Unemployed labourer Aaron Cawley, 21, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, pleaded guilty to assault and entering the field following Sheffield Wednesday’s home match against Leeds on Friday night. Cawley, who appeared at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court, was arrested after Wednesday keeper Chris Kirkland was pushed in the face during the game at Hillsborough stadium. The incident was one of a number of ugly scenes at the Yorkshire derby, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Kirkland, who has played for England, was shoved to the ground moments after conceding an equaliser in the 76th minute. A man was clearly seen running from the Leeds fans onto the pitch and pushed Kirkland in the face before running back into the crowd. The incident was caught on camera by Sky Sports which was broadcasting the game. Cawley stood in the glass-fronted dock wearing a blue T-shirt which left an “LUFC†tattoo clearly visible on his neck and a Leeds United club crest on his right arm. The court heard that he had been the subject of two football banning orders in the past, which he had breached four times. Despite living with his mother in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, he had supported Leeds United all his life and went to every game - home and away, a district judge was told. Prosecutor Paul Macaulay said Cawley told police he was so drunk he could not remember the incident, which has been seen by millions of TV viewers. District Judge Naomi Redhouse said she had not seen the footage and it was played for her in court today. Mr Macaulay said Cawley told officers he had drunk a number of cans of Stella Artois lager on Friday morning, followed by three-quarters of a litre of vodka - all before he got to Sheffield by train. Once in Sheffield, he had a further seven to 10 pints of cider, the court heard. District Judge Redhouse heard that Cawley, of Blenheim Square, Cheltenham, only realised what he had done when other people told him and then he saw himself clearly on TV. He emailed the police to say sorry and also emailed Sky Sports in the hope that his apology would be passed on to the two clubs and Kirkland. His solicitor, Elizabeth Anderton, tried to tell the judge that reports that her client had bragged about the incident in social networking sites were wrong. But District Judge Redhouse stopped her, saying she had not seen the reports and was not interested. Mr Macaulay told the court the incident happened in about the 77th or 78th minute of the match. Kirkland told police he had been already been hit by an object as he warmed up in front of the Leeds United fans after coming out for the beginning of the second half. The Leeds fans were in the Leppings Lane end of the ground - the area where the Hillsborough disaster claimed 96 lives in 1989. The prosecutor said Cawley came on to the pitch after Leeds scored and, when he stood in front of Kirkland, the goalie thought it was someone just “excessively celebrating†or “taking the mickey out of Mr Kirklandâ€. Mr Macauley described how Cawley then slapped the keeper on both sides of the face - hardest on the left-hand side. He said Kirkland told police it was like he had been “hit by a ton of bricks and went straight on the floorâ€. The prosecutor said Kirkland was not seriously injured and Cawley was quickly identified as the perpetrator on the internet. “This was not the most difficult police investigation,†Mr Macaulay said. He added that Cawley was fully co-operative with the police but told them he did not remember what happened after half-time because of his drunken state. He said he left the stadium before the end of the match and a steward opened a gate for him to leave. Cawley told police he had been drinking since 10am. “He saw exactly what he had done on TV although he did not recall what he’d done,†Mr Macaulay said. “He accepted it was clearly him on TV. He made email contact with South Yorkshire Police and Sky TV.†The court heard that in the emails he said: “It was a disgrace and I’m embarrassed by my actions.†He said he had “brought shame on Leeds United Football Clubâ€. The court heard that Cawley has a long history of football-related offending. He was given a three-year football banning order in January 2008 at Leeds Crown Court and another at Derby Magistrates’ Court in November 2008 after breaches. When he breached that order in September last year he was given 10 weeks in a Young Offenders’ Institution. The court was told that Kirkland made a Victim Impact Statement which said: “I feel shocked, upset and angry. “I think the man is a thug and should be caught and put jail. “Anyone who supports what he’s done is just as bad.†Today, Cawley admitted common assault and going on to a football pitch. He was jailed for 16 weeks and ordered to pay £85 costs. The district judge said he will be given a new banning order, probably for five years, but the details of this will be arranged later. Any little incident that goes on at hillsborough they always make sure they add the 96 in even after that person fell down a few stairs at bolton game the 96 where mentioned in papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A steward opened the gate for him Couldn't make it up. What were they supposed to do ? Have X-Ray vision and seen through the West Stand and crowd to see him smacking Kirkland then just stand there telling him he wasn't allowed to leave ?

hertsowl Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Justice system in this country is an absolute disgrace following years of 'namby pamby liberal minded tinkering !! As somebody has already pointed out, he'll be out in 8 weeks having a massive party and no doubt planning his attendances at Leeds festive games. We ought to get all the prison reformers in a room and let them spend the day with mindless odiots like this. Then perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut and allow us to jail the scum of the earth properly and sod the cost !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
