Hopefully the tw@t will be looking at a long ban for this Surely you’d apply same logic and press charges for assault. One is far easier proved than the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shezza Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 No surprise, really. Will probably be word against word, though. Hopefully the FA and the police will look into the assault on Lees. Needs to be handled, and Mellis has a history of violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, innocent until proven guilty etc and I have my doubts as to whether Pearce heard what he thinks he heard, but if it's true I hope we sell Forestieri to the highest bidder. Racism is abhorrent and has no place in football. If FF says he didn't say it, then whats the next move for the authorities? Surely it's one's word against another's, just can't see how they can prove it one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 How do you go about proving or disproving this? I'd imagine review of the footage plus witness statements etc... but apart from any physical violence (looks like quite a lot from Mansfield), how can it get beyond anything more than "it's our word vs theirs"? As has been said... if the ref heard it he would have shown red. If he hasn't, then I don't see how this can be fairly or objectively resolved either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Innocent until proven guilty. My only concern is if the FA decide to back the victim regardless of if the allegation is proven or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneTheOwl Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) It’s easy to prove FF did it when the rent a witnesses come along.... its easier to prove the section 47 assault on FF though !! Edited July 30, 2018 by WayneTheOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Jay Rodriguez case ended in nothing the other week, reporting something doesn’t mean instant guilt. Backing Fernando here and hope they get something for the assault on Lees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markowski77 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Something very similar happened recently with Bong of BHA & Jay Rodriguez from WBA it was all a lot of hot air, and unfortunately for Jay Rodriguez affected him mentally through defamation of character. In the end he was found innocent. in this day and age the race card is chucked about too easily & often, and personally the accuser should carry a large fine/ban if they have been found to making allegations up. on the other hand if FF is found guilty, of which I highly doubt. there should be no place at SWFC back him to the hilt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he say the 'N' word if he was speaking in Spanish? I can't see anything coming of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, guess you are right but witnesses can lie or mishear, in the general melee of the event, it would be difficult to pick out a word with any accuracy.
