What pisses me off mostly is this.

I beat up a taxi (alledgedly), I had to settle out of court so I wouldn't get charged with criminal damage. £700.00 fecking pound. But I still get charged with Drunk and Disorderly and bound over to keep the peace for a year.

Why weren't Bowyer and Woodgate charged with D&D??

I spent a night banged up on my birds birthday and she was not amused.
 
I reckon the clubs taken legal advice and realised Bowyer will lose a civil action. There a good chance he could go up for perjery as well.

They want to off load him now before the shit really hits the fan.
 
BOWYER TRANSFER LISTED!
by <a href="http://www.leedsunited.co.uk" target="_blank">www.leedsunited.co.uk</a>

United star Lee Bowyer has been placed on the transfer list for refusing to accept the club's punishment after breaking the club's code of conduct.
Chairman Peter Ridsdale released the following statement:

Following the conclusion of the trial last Friday, Leeds United Football Club, as previously indicated, has reviewed appropriate internal disciplinary action against Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate.

The Club acknowledges and accepts the verdict of the jury that Lee Bowyer was innocent of all charges. Nevertheless, and in his own admission, he was under undue influence of alcohol in the city centre late at night, which is against the Club's code of conduct.

Jonathan Woodgate was found guilty of affray and was sentenced at Hull Crown Court. The PFA maximum fine ceiling is two weeks wages. Following the internal disciplinary meeting between the Manager, David O'Leary and myself, Jonathan Woodgate has been given a fine of eight weeks wages. Jonathan has asked that this money be put towards funding work within our inner city communities, which we are more than happy to agree to. Jonathan will commit to work within our community programme. Jonathan has also been given a final warning regarding his future conduct.

Leeds United has imposed a fine of four weeks wages against Lee Bowyer, we would also insist that Lee work at the forefront of our community programme for the whole of the balance of his contract. Lee has also been warned regarding his future behaviour both on and off the field. Regrettably, Lee Bowyer has refused to accept this club disciplinary sanction and has, therefore, been placed on the transfer list with immediate effect. As a result of this Lee Bowyer will not be available for team selection by David O'Leary unless he accepts the club's disciplinary sanction.

Peter Ridsdale
Chairman

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has nothing to do with the charges Bow faced and as you will see they make refence to the FACTthat he was found NOT GUILTY this is an internal breach of the clubs code of conduct and relates to Bow and Woodgate being drunk.
It makes me laugh that you are joing the media bandwagon that this was a racial attack when all the evidence says otherwise. In fact as Najeib threw the first punch and was throwing verbal insults around to start the chain of events perhaps it is he that should be on a charge of racism....but hell would freeze over before something like that would be allowed to happen! Justice my arse :mad: B4E

More bollox! Bow lied to police to protect his mates in initial interviews and this led the CPS to THINK they had a better case against him than they actually had - he did not lie on oath and therefore cannot be charged with perjury! If you are going to post get your facts staight

:rolleyes:

They always go for the most serious offence when charging someone and the CPS etc thought they had good cases on GBH ....sadly for them and the Najeibs there was a distinct lack of something very important...EVIDENCE

I was far from an angel in my teens (and in the end I paid for it dearly), not something I'm proud of. Drinking, using drugs and fighting - instead of getting an education, a job and maybe pursuing a football career.

What get's to me when people shout 'Racism' when things like this happens, is because it happened to me. I had a fight and beat up an asian kid. It had nothing to do with him being Asian, it would have happened if the bloke had been white, brown, yellow, red or blue. We had a drunken argument, and it ended up in fight, from which he got injured. Happens all the time. I was later arrested for this, and got charged for ghb and RACISM. fecking stupid

Thats it you tosser pick and choose what words the judge said you want to believe as long as it suits your case......he did say that but he was refering to the statements made to police. Why did the jury come to the conclusion he was guilty of nothing! Not even affray!!
As far as Bow is concerned he has been found innocent of all charges and is pissed off he is being punished by the club - I think he might reconsider paying the club fine when he realises it is nothing to do with the court case and reflects the fact he was drunk.

Could not agree more mate..

I wonder why nobody is interseted in news like this.....

A SCHOOLBOY had his head kicked like a football by a gang who attacked him as he walked home from a Christmas party.

Lee Fleet (14), of Schofield Street, Hathershaw, was left unconscious after the gang dragged him to the ground and battered him.

He had been to his rugby team’s party when he and two friends decided to walk the short distance to a shop.

However, as the Royton Tigers players crossed on to Heron Street, Werneth, the gang of between five and seven Asian youths jumped on Lee and punched him to the ground in what has been deemed a racially-motivated attack.

They then kicked him so violently that one eyewitness said she thought they were kicking a football.

Lee’s father, Anthony Fleet, said the woman called him later to ask how Lee was. Mr Fleet added: “This woman was distraught after seeing what these thugs were doing to Lee. She told me she was physically sick afterwards.”

Mr Fleet, who also has two step-children aged 16 and 13, said he does not like his children to go out at night because he fears they might be victims of violence.

He added: Lee doesn’t hang around the streets at night because he is aware of what can happen. This has only proven the point, and he is really upset by the whole thing.”

The youngster, a pupil at St Augustine’s School, sustained cuts, bruises and concussion in the attack and is still suffering from the effects of shock.

Lee and his friends were in Heron Street at around 8.30pm on Friday. They heard the gang approach from behind, and Lee was grabbed.

The other two boys knocked on doors in the street asking for help and one family walked them to safety.

The gang ran off when two women stopped the car they were travelling in.

Police are now appealing for any witnesses to the attack to contact them on 856 8861 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555 111.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Racism works both ways but we as whites cannot say it for fear of being called racists
 
feck off marching Bowyer didnt get done because of insufficient evidence, this doesnt mean hes innocent, it means there wasnt enough evidence for a SAFE conviction.

Lets get back to the facts, how many Leeds players and their mates attacked this ONE guy, nearly killing him?

You support this wanker because he plays for your team fair enough, if you want to be a stupid cnut thats your business but the fact remains, these cowards beat the shit out of one man and nearly killed him.

Want do you expect, the guys got history in the "lets beat up some Pakis" department.

P.S. Say hello to midtable for me

Course it was racially motivated. One group Asian one white, obvious innit?.......... :rolleyes:
This is one of the many reasons why British justice is a piss take. It is heavily biased in favour of ethnic background and every body knows it. :mad:
Regardless of how good the evidence is in a case like this, those representing an ethnic minority will always play the race card to their advantage.
I like many I guess, have been "lagered up" in the past & stepped out of line. It happens.
And I've seen AND known Asian friends do exactly the same.
Bottom line (until proven otherwise) it was run of the mill agro. Wrong full stop and definately wrong for these two to be involved (being in the public eye).
What pisses me off about this is IMO, after the first trial folded they were NEVER going to go down.
I'm bloody amazed that Woodgate even got the affray. :eek:
fecking waste of money and any civil action is going to be the same.
Bollox the lot of it. ;)

Yes I follow LUFC but I have said all alongh that IF anybody was found guilty of these offences they should be punished in line with anybody else - what is happening now is simply a witchunt. The verdicts are in so that is the end to it!

For christ sake get past the colour issue you moron ...it makes no difference if they were pink black or green

then your fans deserved to get stabbed in Turkey based on your thinking,that he started it so he deserved everything he got.


Your racist fans goaded the locals in Istanbul...racist cnuts.

Agreed Fergie - I would love to hear your answers to these questions.
1. Who exactly heard that said?
2. Who is supposed to have said it?
3. Were there any independant witnesses there when it was supposed to have been said?
4. Did the prosecution use this "evidence"?
5. If not why not?

Go on anser them one by one!

Excuse me Giggsy but where have I said Najeib got what he deserved? He most certainly did not!
You cannot be so blind to think that anybody would be interested in this if 2 famous footballers were not involved. The punishments were given and were well deserved and that should be the end to it as would be the case in 99% of all other GBH and Affray cases.
 
you sound racist now marching

you are prepared to believe everything that white guys say and nothing the asian lads say.

there were a lot of things that werent allowed to be said in court because not many people carry a tape recorder round with them, it doesnt mean it wasnt said however.

in any attack people tend to use verbal attacks as well as physical.

have u ever heard a fight in complete silence?

the fact that he nearly got murder, gets overlooked.


BTW, it was your Leeds mate that implied he deserved it.
 
No one is arguing that beating the shit out of someone is out of order but on the other hand it is horseshit that everytime someone who isn't white gets a beating it is a racially motivated attack.

Someone pulls their fist back to punch you are you not going to hit back because they are not white? What if you win and they are on the floor are you a racist? and are they going to say you attacked them as some sort of racially motivated attack? That card is used too much.

He got beaten up by a gang..hardly the same as getting into a fight with one person.
 
Bowyer handed over a blood stained jacket, where did that come from, picking his nose?

Woodgate handed over a different pair of shoes.

I would have thought a dignified silence was in order here, I know I would if it was a UTD player.

And what about Bowyers previous assault on Pakistanis, is this all just a coincidence?

Are you a fully paid up member of the BNP by any chance.

P.S. send us a postcard from mid table
 
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> I knew you would not answer the questions so I will for you.....
1.Sarfraz Najeib
2.Someone in a white shirt
3.NO
4.No
5.Because nobody else heard it and independant witnesses said it was not said and nobody there at the time had a white shirt on.

The law states that if anybody feels a crime to be racial then the police must investigate it as such - this was the case here so the police spent a lot of time trying to build a case against Bowyer etc based on race. However they could not find any evidence and that includes statements made by Sarfrazs brother whoi said race did not play a part in it.
So the prosecution agreed to drop the matter there and then.

Shame now when money is involved it is raising its ugly head.

That's complete bollox.
If the mindset of the attackers is violent then colour is irrelevant.
Many years ago I got a major "kicking" because I was in the Armed Forces.
If people want a ruck they will use any excuse. There's no sliding scale of violence in these situations.

:mad:

like u say, u can believe what you want.

i have seen quite a few fights when i first started going to football and a lot of people got beaten up, one on one fights gang fights etc.

but i never saw any go as far as what happened to that asian lad.

i mean i have seen people pint potted, have their ears bit off etc but once someone is down took a beating and is obviously defenseless people stopped.

That's things that get said in the heat of the moment. Not good, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the attack was racially motivated.

I've many a times said f*** off black this and that on the footie pitch, just as I've had f*** off blondie etc thrown at me - without me or anyone else being racists.

Having been on both sides of this situation I can agree on that.

What's annoying in the context of this thread, I think is the apparent throw away use of the "race-card"
