Bristol City fan in Jail for

throwing a programme at a Cardiff City player during the 6-0 thrashing we gave them.

Surley this can not be true.

I was at that game and there were about 400 fans throwing progammes on the pitch.

This is fuckin stupid!

What do you think?

Should have been their manager for tripping Chops. (different game I know, but still eh?)

Thats pathetic tbf i would act in the same way as he did in court if sent to prison sad bastards

I remember that, it was funny as hell. But not if someone goes to jail over it. Pathetic as hell. F--king cops could be out catching real criminals

wow reading that, it sounds like the guy who was brought through the corner by us (annis you will remember) :

She added Crehan had suffered huge embarrassment after the incident, that the Cardiff fans were laughing at him and making fun of him when he was arrested.

if it is the right guy he doesn't deserve 16 weeks in prison, its a mental institute he needs. He was being dragged by the cops and he was still kicking off.

And it sounds like when he was in court it was very similar to billy bright on football factories

"Magistrates said the incident would activate a suspended sentence handed to Crehan on December 9 for assault, meaning he would serve 16 weeks behind bars. No separate penalty was given for the charge of throwing the programme at the pitch."

In other words, he was jailed for a previous offence and not the programme throwing.

He has not been sent to prison because of this incident alone. He was already on a suspended jail sentance for assualt he committed about 6 weeks before the game.

I like the way his lawyer states (quote)"had suffered huge embarrassment after the incident, that the Cardiff fans were laughing at him and making fun of him when he was arrested." Poor Lad!!!

I was there, hundreds off them through their programmes on to the side of the pitch, more in disgust about their team being hammered.

was funny as f**k,
wheres your programmes gone, wheres your programmes gone ?????
