what a world.

although I did see that, and it was really quite offensive.

Yes. It was stupid. To kick a board in front of the official's legs in the first instance, he must have known it would freak him out, if not injure him.

They seem have been removed. Probably because it is a police thing now, so they have to prevent any prejudice. Either that or I just cant find the web page.

Just been in touch with David's people to offer my legal services.  I'm not sure I'll be called upon though as this is a ridiculous situation.  The police will 'investigate' as a complaint has been received, presumably from one A.Castle, but it won't go any further.

I know this is like comparing apples and pears, but here goes anyway. Yes, Nalbandian didn't mean the injure the line judge, but that doesn't mean it isn't assault. There are lots of legally different types of assault under British law. If you don't mean to kill someone, you can still get charged with manslaughter even if it was an accident.

While, I agree it's a bit of a waste of time, unfortunately that's not up to the law. If it's the line judge who has complained then he'd have been better just taking civil action. If it's someone else, then they're stepping into something they shouldn't be.

ah ffs

The line judge was doing his job when an unprovoked attack occured... If you watch the incident, it clearly shows that the raving lunatic Nalbandian kicked the old guy in the leg, if i did that in the street to an old guy sat having a corn beef sandwich while sat on a bench no doubt i would be arrested, to top it off Nalbandian didnt seem that bothered, more bothered that he had defaulted on the match! 100 hours of community service should suffice

more bothered that he had defaulted on the match! ..... why would he PRETEND to care about accidentally rearranging the few remaining hairs on some fossil's balding shin, when he's just potentially blown "who knows what amount" of prize money? (or was it a friendly?)

he has cost himself prize money but not expenses. So effectively he has paid to play in a tournament and got nothing from it.

Only on this head-cripple convention that is the Bf forum, can this descend into a 'Racism vs Assault' contest.

Well done, spastics.

Perhaps they're will fork out for some boarding next year and not something that seemed like it was stuck together in a primary school DT class

can't believe anyone is trying to defend bandy.If it was a footballer behaving it such a manner they'd be calling for "the rope". If it was you or I we'd be looking at bird.
