Remember the guy who ran on the pitch in celebration and gestured in Enkleclowns face? Didn't he get sent to jail?
Yet the guy who ran on in anger and attempted to lamp Lampard, gets a fine and a banning order.

Where's the justice in that then?

"london bias" my @r5e

brummies would be better off making birmingham into a european second city to rival barcelona, milan and frankfurt rather than getting all paranoid about london... if the chips on your shoulders get any bigger you'll start getting mistaken for jocks...

Perhaps it's you who has the chip on your shoulder - against moaning brummies?

Ever thought of that? See what I did there? I switched it on to you.

Take that chip off your shoulder.

It is nowt to do with geography.
It is all about consistency, uniformity and even-ness when it comes to the law being administered in different parts of the land.

Your problem shouldn't be about a mythical "London Bias" - instead you should address the local (Birmingham) beaks and their ability.

The police are paranoid in the midlands about football, and they maintain this fever pitch ignorance by moving matches to silly travelling times, over policing local roads as if a mass demo was about to happen, and generally inconveniencing anyone out and about on a Sunday afternoon. "Football" gets the blame for all this over reaction, and magistrates get caught up in the general "football-hysteria".

So, in more sophisticated and less paranoid areas like Manchester, London, the North East, you get a more objective and less reactionary response from magistrates.

It ain't a London bias.
Its a Midlands paranoia, fuelled by the police's paranoia.

With one eye on the exorbitant costs that they will rip off from each club.

It suits them to have everyone, especially the local media, believing that we are on the edge of civil unrest and rioting. And all they get is some stupid guy who ran on the pitch and made an obscene gesture - no wonder the magistrates thought it was the end of the world.

Agree, nothing to do with London bias and all to do with the culture the West Midlands justice establishment believe we are living in.

In both cases the offender deserved a severe sentence.

Agreed, but a punishment, not a sentence.
And the punishment should reflect the intention.

The Birmingham magistrates were wrong imo, totally over the top.
The London ones...probably too lenient.

Yeah, I'd go with that assessment, but unfortunately the idea of making an example of the fool who came on the pitch at St Andrews didn't work, because then there was the gimp who went after Savage in the return, and seemed more than pleased with himself.

There's still an awful lot of nobs that hang around teams in the Midlands under the guise of being fans of football, unfortunately it's that more than anything that keeps the authorities a bit edgy.
