Joey will mentor the lad (through his own experiences) then hopefully and we'll get a focused goal machine this term. That's the worry. Sometimes a sinner can save a fellow sinner - so I've read!

Does this decision put Weal in a difficult position as he stated in July 2021 the following in regards to Joey` court case? But after widespread criticism of the club's statement, Wael Al Qadi said in an open letter today: “Firstly, I think it is really important to confirm that as a club we stand firmly against any form of violence. Any individual that is found guilty of any such offences will be dismissed immediately.27 Jul 2021 Hello newbie

I just want to throw a different spin on this for a moment. Regardless of the rights and wrongs in signing Brown, I find it astonishing (so far) that the club have yet to say anything. Surely they would have been prepared for what was likely going to happen today and what would be said. The club will get a lot of stick and no doubt Brown will next season, but given the outcome, the mention of alcohol and sporting chance, I would be expecting the club to come out and publicly support their player with those issues (Again regardless of what anyone of us things about him being her/the club signing him) as I presume they are doing privately Not just the club, Adam Tutton resigned from the carnival not even over a criminal offence, just a t shirt being sold?! How does he and his team go into the community on this? I said wait until the court evidence, damning CCTV evidence. I’ve done jury service, many others will have done on this forum, this isn’t a random opinion on it all, a jury of 12 have found him guilty, we are told you can’t be 99% sure, you have to be 100% sure and he even admitted it! Having your hair pulled doesn’t give you the right to hit women and spit in their face. The owner publicly said when Barton was arrested that anyone found guilty of assault will be sacked. The manager’s wife was that desperate she dialled 999, video evidence was used in his case but he got it thrown out as the trial would unfair, his wife got her story wrong. We are now signing players who hit women all this for the sake of success, what have we become? Adam and his team can continue to do their good work in the Community - I believe they are run separately to the club. We are a football club, and will continue to be a football club. The Magistrate found him guilty - have you ever watched cases in the Magistrate's Court? Best one I've seen was a woman charged with not sending her child to school (we are talking 100's of absences, and she was given all sorts of support), she tells the Magistrates her sob story, gets let off and the Magistrate also wiped her outstanding fine for not having a TV licence from the record. It can very much depend on who is in the chair.

Deeply embarassing.
Spitting at someone is revolting - it’s assault and can spread harmful diseases. Jevani should be ashamed of his actions.
That said pulling of hair, especially dreadlock length hair, can be extremely painful.
As for a slap - this can vary from what amounts to a tap in self defence to an absolute stinger. It’s difficult reading the article as to what intensity these slaps were. But it seems a long way removed from a severe assault.
Ultimately given the court verdict and skimming through the article this sounds like handbags to me during a night out rather than GBH. Neither parties are presented in glory here. The player sounds remorseful and has accepted the fine and apologised.
sh** for all parties - the individuals involved and his previous and now our club to be tied to this. However it’s probably best for everyone to move on from this.
Importantly for Jevani he has shown a willingness to change his ways. He’s a Bristol Rovers player now - hopefully the club can help him achieve this successfully and put his past behind him.

My best hope would be that Mr Brown does some sort of work in the community, encouraging females or youngsters to participate in sport. I did read that he was quite supportive of Exeter's ladies team, so he could build on that here.

Trial by jury became a joke when the mob that toppled the colston statue admitted and pleaded guilty to criminal damage and got found not guilty by a jury !! Hahaahaha How does *everything* always circle back to the bloody Colston statue FFS Well it was situated on the city centre, so geographically its pretty likely 😋

Not really a good example to set any player, let alone one in the same boat! what were the two court appearances ? was it 1) for something he did at Fleetwood and 2) when the 'family fracas' case was not proceeded with?

You are right Tilly, there are many a councillor, mentor who are able to, and do help troubled folk by calling on there own experiences to help folk through troubled times, i can well imagine Joe Barton helping the lad to improve on and off the pitch, some folk may ridicule the notion but i think it better to try rather than give up on someone.
