Isn't he defending Pryce and the club there?

I put Andy Wilson at first but meant Danny Lockwood.

which is why I edited it

Wilson defending Saints? What ever next?

How he got "violent street thug" from pushing someone into a pedal bin is a bit of a stretch.

Violent street thug, inside a flat, not on a street.

Poetic licence applied for

lockwood is one yorkshire git only cares about yorkshire, middle of last year he was talking about man of steele, he said himself and members of staff were discussing it not one of them came up with a players name from lancashire. i wrote explaining there were players this side of the pennines who were in running for mos didnt even get a reply from him. .

Danny Lockwood is generally really funny but I read his article in the press and I really couldn't believe how totally off his head he went. I think he made a right ass of himself, actually, given that he was discussing one bloke shoving another and, well, that was it really.

Silly man. Reading his silly article just left me with greater sympathy towards ole Leon.

I appeal

Upheld.

Play the ball from the 10?

If I'm thinking of the same person, it's quite surprising to hear a good word from Andy Wilson. Quite a positive article from him.

Danny Lockwood could be in bother if Leon wanted to chase due to his half d choice of words.

To be honest, I think Leon should start chasing as some comments made in the press/on the Internet are close to the bone. Lockwood's article is a good example. If it's potentially career damaging and it's in print, people need to consult their lawyers just to make sure.

Why?

For expressing an opinion. Like it or lump it, Pryce has been in court twice now for violence related cases. I have had a luagh at the expense of the morally sanctimonious regarding this case, but there is a line to be drawn and that is their right to voice an opinion based on facts.

At the end of the day, it was more about shoving a bloke. Intimidation can be unerving in it's various forms and Pryce was stupid to accompany a vacuous head case such as Reardon (who makes a Plankton look intelligent) to his ex missus' flat.

He's had one serious incident and one shove over a bin. Hardly the lifetime achievements of a street thug?

Neither inident have been on the street though so he does have grounds

He's a bad Mofo...

Aye, using the word "street" in the description is well OTT

Shut your mouth.........

He's a complicated man, and no-one understands him but his woman.

To be fair, people are making light of his involvement and almost giving comendy value to him pushing someone over a bin, but at the end of the day, two meat heads went round to someones house and kicked their door in. For me, the intimidation and forced entry is enough to warrant a serious conviction.

Well, what he did was hardly murder but it's been talked about as if it was by a whole load of people on here so it's a big relief to finally just treat it for what it was rather than what people wanted it to be to satisfy some twisted thing in themselves.

Don't make O'Brien out to be some kind of pushover (oops). He did have a rounders bat in his hand remember. What did he intend to do with it? Tickle Leon's tummy?

I'm willing to call Leon an idiot rather than a thug because that's what I believe he was. Next time he needs to let his mates sort out their own divorces though.

Oh, and when will people read the facts in this case? It was Reardon who barged the door, when his wife opened it. Leon had nothing to do with that.
