Nothing new - this was last November!!

Aye, but its nice to see the crown following through with something for once (or appearing as if they are).

 

The case will collapse or be abondoned - mark my words...

[barassie_afc]

was that not part of an earlier case where the charges were dropped?

[Monkey]

Must be quite a serious assault though if it is on Indictment as this would mean a jury trial with much more serious sentencing powers if he's found guilty.

 

Anyone know the actual ins and outs of what has meant to have happened?

[tup]

Was he dressed as a sheep when he did it?

 

I'm sure David Robertson was Little Bo Peep

Premier League footballer David Goodwillie has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a man in a city centre.

 

The 22-year-old Blackburn Rovers and Scotland striker is charged with assaulting John Friel, by repeatedly punching him on the head and body and kicking him on the body on November 3 last year in Queen Street, Glasgow.

 

The player's lawyer submitted a not guilty plea by letter to Glasgow Sheriff Court, said a court official.

 

A trial date has been set for October 28 at the same court.

 

Goodwillie, from Stirling, moved from Dundee United to Blackburn this summer for a fee thought to be

It was one of our office clerks that told me an indictment had been served, im going to check that though - she's a dumb blonde.

 

 

If he's found guilty the maximum sentence that can be imposed by the sheriff court on indictment is 5 years imprisonment and/or a

Why would he get life for an assault? 9 times out of 10 these are dealt with with a fine.

Don't be radiculous i never suggested he would get life.

 

All i was saying was, that if he was found guilty and the sheriff reffered the case to the high court for sentencing the maximum penalty they can impose is life imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

 

I was just making people aware of the maximum penalties.

Move your reply away from underneath my post then smartie pants.

If im talking to you, I would quote. Its a general reply smartie pants.

[Tommy]

Nae often you're called smart Dazzy.

 

 

I wanted him jailed when he was at united now i aint fussed seeing as he aint there or at the huns.

[King Street Loon]

Opened his account for Blackburn tonight and played the full 90.

[GK55]

scored a cracker too!

 

and had one chalked off for offside

[Scarface]

watched the blackburn game yesterday and have to say that goodwillie looked out of his depth. the lad has clearly got potential, as illustrated for scotland against lithuania the other night, but he's clearly got some way to go before he can fully adjust to the rigours of the epl. granted, playing as the lone striker for a team like blackburn away from home against two giant brutes like senderos and hangeland is no easy task, but yesterday i thought goodwillie looked slow, immobile, relatively unfit, and generally poor (although, to be fair, i think the commentators said he hurt his hamstring early on) as typified by one chance where he fortuitously raced clear of the fulham defence and curled his shot well wide when he should of squared it for his team mate to score on a plate. anyone else watch it?

[barassie_afc]

Thought he looked slow etc v Lithunia and I didnt see what folk were raving about him

Genius hears the sirens & makes a run for it but straight towards them

[tommo1903]

To be fair to Goodwillie, I'd have done the same.

[fine-n-dandy]

To be fair to Goodwillie, I'd have done the same.

 

 

Took him long enough though stood stunned not knowing what to do looking at Swanson sparked oot whilst the boy that did it just hovers around in the background.

 

Then when he finally does do something (& for getting there in the end) he runs TOWARDS the fkn cops

[The Highland Don]

Danny Swanson took a hit like a champ! Jesus christ that was mad haha

[wee jock poo-pong mcplop]

To be fair Goodwillie did good.

The boy in white deserved everything he got (And more) for that cowardly attack

Liked him running into the bin though!!

[Dynamo]

Fucking bams

[The Highland Don]

Liked him running into the bin though!!

 

Nearly pished maself with laughter at that part, wasn't expecting it at all

I don't see why Goodwillie is getting shit for that... the guy he hit was clearly a threat. He'd already knocked out his mate and was obviously threatening Goodwillie. Sucks for the guy that he squared up to the wrong guy and got put on his arse, but he was the one looking for trouble.

[tightbreeks]

blindsided, that's takin fackin liberties.

 

liked the boy attacking the immovable object, the bin.

[Pash]

Boy stumbling in to the bin after getting crumpled by Goodwillie was the best.
