bye bye ben

He's a VERY lucky boy if that's true.

He is one lucky lad, lets hope he learns from it and becomes a better person off the field.

Don't understand this at all, he was awaiting this court appearance when they offered him his new deal, they cannot no act shocked.

They would not have seen the ctv evidence which I imagine is not a pretty sight, maybe this may have a bearing

Actually is there a source for this? The court listing shows it continuing



Edit - listing now shows it's finished

What I can't understand is why the judge remanded him in custody...seems pointless if he's not going to sentence him to Prison.

As has been said, I hope he realises what a lucky escape he's had and moves on from it.

He'll be fined by the club and hopefully that will be the end of it. Edit... This story is interesting now www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

Lucky lad, I'd have sent him down without hesitation, but then again, I'm mental.

Scare tactics i believe, i reckon the last thing Ben expected when going to his hearing is to get locked up there and then giving him time to reflect on his actions

I would imagine they will have to see what impact the Community Service will have on training and playing etc and this may well be reflected in the wage payments the club make to him.

Due legal process has been completed now and that should be it with regards punishment.

Lucky t1t - hope he gets what is coming to him (his p45) then the FC fans can sing
Where's your charlie gone

Cant see it to be honest, the club gave him a new contract in light of the allegations. Ben did the crime and has recieved his punishment

Your sig betrays your age numpty.

Grow up




We have to remember that Ben hasn't "gotten away" with anything, his sentence is still very serious!

I think he has let a lot of people down and has a lot of work to do to make up for that if he stays at Rovers. But if anyone's going to try their hardest to prove a point, it's Charlie.

With any luck, on Good Friday, it'll be in under your sticks.

The same as what happens when someone commits a racially motivated attack you mean, jog on.

Hardly, keep out of trouble for 2 years and spend 240 hours doing community work rather than months/years banged up in Doncaster nick. I'd say he's got off amazingly lightly.

Lucky lad.
He's hot-headed, always has been. Let's hope he can sort himself out.

Very lucky boy !!! The fact he is a rugby league player would have helped him out and i think his time in jail before the trial was just a warning shot to him - He's a decent player and do you think if he did calm down his aggression he would lose an element of his rugby ability ?

IIRC he was ready to sign for Cas until the RSG boosted Rovers original contract offer. Maybe Rovers were prepared to let him go, but fan power won the day.

Just a thought mind
