Banned from Birmingham for life, but is that enforceable? I'm sure that are ways and means of getting a ticket. | |

14 weeks in prison for that Birmingham fan... on 16:10 - Mar 11 with 4463 views | BrixtonBlue | My initial reaction to some saying Birmingham should be docked points was that's ridiculous and unfair on all the decent supporters just because of one idiot's actions. But then hearing Alan Shearer suggesting just that on MOTD changed my mind. It would still be harsh but it would be a massive deterrent, and you probably need such a deterrent before someone gets stabbed. | |

Just repeating what the panel on MOTD were hinting at. With the problems of knife crime in this country it's not that hard to imagine is it? | |

I'd be more troubled by having my passport taken away each time when England play... Wasn't there someone on here who had to go through that for going on the pitch at Norwich? | |

Not sure that prison is correct, we are constantly told that prison should be about rehabilitation not punishment, it seems that breaking the law at a football match is one of the last crimes where punishment is dished out as justice . | | | |

It was assault. Not only assault either- a cowardly one, from behind to someone unsuspecting (and tiny). Being at a football match shouldn't lessen that. | |

I've no idea if the sentence is appropriate or not. I am surprised at how quickly it was dealt with though. Call me cynical, but it was a nice easy one to play out a 'get tough on crime' message in the public domain. | |

Was the assault as vicious as the assault by Ben Stokes? Did he continue the assault after the victim was unconscious? Double standards abound . | | | |

Don't follow cricket so didn't really see the story. If that's what happened and he didn't get jailed then that is frankly shocking. | |
