A new bitch for someone.

[Jürgen4PM]

18 months in jail.

Wigan striker Marlon King has been found guilty of groping a woman and then breaking her nose after she spurned his advances in a bar.
A jury at London's Southwark Crown Court unanimously convicted the 29-year-old Jamaica international Thursday of sexual assault and causing actual bodily harm with a punch last December in London.

The victim, a 20-year-old university student, and two friends, who claim King pestered them as well, were among a number of witnesses who identified King.

King told the court that he was the victim of mistaken identity.

He'll be out in 9 months - pathetic.

A totally unprovoked violent attack like this should incur a minimum of a 3 year sentence (ie 6 years but let out after 3), especially as the scumbag didn't plead guilty.

 

[reuque]

LOL @ case of mistaken identity.

He might as well go on and tell the prosecuters guilty of being wacists!

 

[Judge Jules]

For all the difference this'll make to his goal tally....

Ha ! Bang goes his Golden Boot

I think 6 years for that would be a bit harsh!

Its right he's got sent down though, and considering all his previous offences that are now being splashed all over the papers I don't think he'll have much fun in there or be welcomed back with open arms when he gets out

 

[Fallon]

Having seen not one, but two players be convicted for death by drink driving and still go on to play for professional teams again, I think it's fair to say that this waste of life will not struggle to find a club when he gets out.

 

[rage]

he deserves to be locked up, but also lets be honest, bar the bit when he resorted to actually attacking the girl his general behavior and attitude towards women is more common amongst footballers than not.

there seems to be a complete absence of respect amongst certain so called 'celebrities', maybe i'm getting old but i don't remember it always being like this. was it last year or the year before where joe cole got smacked all over the place for trying it on with some girl.

he is one stupid individual though, why would you handle a stolen car when you have an income like he did?

 

[mark1975]

Slightly off topic, but the guy involved in the killing of 'Baby P' got his sentence reduced to 5yrs and because he's already served around 300 days, he could be out in 2011! The justice system is all over the fucking place.

Apparently he turned around with the classic "do you know who I am?" before punching her. I wouldn't say it's more common amongst celebs but there's certainly the criteria there for fame to fall into the hands of the wrong person, especially when you consider that alot of these people are arrogant and deluded by their own self worth. cf Collymore and Gazza for example (though it's fair to say both have had major mental issues too).

 

[Fallon]

I'm of the opinion, and have been for some time, that footballers these days shouldn't get paid out 5-50k a week (after tax) and that instead their wages should be put into a trust fund for when they retire, and while they're playing they get 1k a week (more than enough to live on by anybody's standards). Not only would this eliminate a hell of a lot of problems like this, it would also ground a lot of players who get ideas above their stations. They are meant to be professional athletes, what any footballer (league 1 upwards) is doing getting into that state on a regular basis is beyond me. Also you'd never get players like Gasgoine/Collymore/Dyer (arseholes maybe, naive and stupid most definitely) and countless others pissing it away on booze, women and horses and then having practically fuck all after a 10-15 year career at mostly top flight clubs.

True. Who was the other one (other than Lee Hughes) by the way?

I'm sure he will find another club but my point was that, although drink driving is awful, its a mistake at the end of the day. Its easier to forgive a mistake. Any teammates at a new club might find it a little more difficult to accept someone with a long string of convictions for violence against women.

Fair point but they are also supposed to be adults. They need to take responsibility for themselves.
Certainly as young players they should have more protection and advice from their clubs.

Say what you want about Ferguson but he seems to generally do a good job at not letting young players get above themselves.

Gazza is certainly the perfect exampe of where a player can go wrong. Not sure you can bracket Collymore in the same way. I think he would be mental however much money he had and I don't think he really wasted all his money in the same way others did.

Plymouth goalkeeper McCormick, I'm quite sure he is still in jail.

 

[mark1975]

Yeah sorry Richey, I misread what Fallon posted, I thought he was just asking who the other one was who was convicted.

 

[Fallon]

I forget the other lad's name but he was at Southampton at the time of the 'incident' (possibly on loan).

Tru that, but the way I justify it in my mind is that it's for the good of both the player (whether they want to see it that way or not) and the club, also most footballers these days have the IQ of an amoeba. The only reason I wouldn't say have a cut off point at 25/26, ie. they start getting paid out of said trust fund at an age where they should have matured by, is because younger players would bitch and moan about it, if you wait for a player to retire then it's the same for all (regardless of when they retire). Obviously there could be clauses for the likes of buying property (for themselves or family) or investment opportunities (not "my mate Dave said he'd give me 50k in two weeks if I can spot him 30k now).

It'd never happen because at the end of the day it is the players money as you say, shame though as I really think it'd be beneficial to the game.

King has 12 other convictions dating back to 1997, including fraud, assault, receiving stolen goods and threatening behaviour to women.

He has form, and is violent thick cunt and I'm delighted he went down

Bradley Wright-Phillips (Sean's brother) and Nathan Dyer were with Southampton early last season (Dyer was on loan) and they got done for nicking stuff from a woman's handbag in a nightclub!! No prison sentence but they were convicted. How much money do these guys need to earn before they stop with petty theft?

Are they really bleating about racism? With all that form? Fucking hell.

Yes indeed they were

'Institutionalised racism!'
and
'Steven Gerrard is still walking the streets!'
were two of the shouts from his retard family

The case against Wright-Phillips was dropped in the end I think.

As you say, its a bit absurd. It can't be as if they are skint. The only explanation is they did it "for a laugh" (which I think was Glen Johnson's defence for stealing toilet seats) but I stealing isn't normally considered hilariously funny is it?

 

[Pesam]

"Institutionalised Racism". That was also the claim from the director of South Africa's Athletic team about the sex tests for Castor Semenya. He claimed that she wouldn't have had to undergo these "humiliating" tests had she been white. He subsequently retracted this claim after it was exposed that it was actually him who first raised doubts about her sexuality and suggested a sex test!

Dubious claims of racism jeopardise authentic claims making them harder to identify (well at least for Daily Mail readers).

Please, nobody do "the police have nothing to go on" line regarding the toilet seat escapade. Thank you.

 

[manwithnoname]

The police have nothing to go on

Reminds of a Kate Moss story, La Moss was on an outdoor photo shoot and asked where the toilet was

'There's a portable loo over there, but be careful because it doesn't have a door'

Kate's response;

'Well how the fuck am I supposed to get in, then?'
