anyone reckon we might make a move for reardon? how crocked is he? if hes fit hes better than some of the specials currently in the team.

It's 6 years since Reardons one and only good season. I fail to see where people get this idea from that he would be any improvement for our team.

Think it's a clutching at straws thing. Some people think that anything is better than what we have. Personally, unless a very good player comes along, you should stick with your first choices. Whatever youy thoughts on the coach, it is his team and he must see something in them.

At Least We Beat Leeds

Whats funnier about the Reardon saga is Hull signined him then released him after failign a medical, surely he had a medical before he signed....

as for the court case, smacks of a complainent less case perhaps the Mrs dropped it but CPS chose to proceed without her testimoney... hence the lower sentences...

I accept that this was the most likely scenario from a judicial point of view.

Will the League exact a punishment or expect Saints to - for bringing the game into disrepute?

For grabbing hold of someone or pushing someone. It would never have got to court normally.

It does if you break down the door to get at them first.

except they didnt break the door down - they tricked there way in, somehting to do with reardons kid being taken to hospital. She opened the door for them and they pushed past, hardly the same as breaking it down imo.

I believe it's called gaining entry thru deception. It's still a crime but not to the same degree of kicking the door in

I think it would if you had "broken" into their house.

Im no legal god, this is grossely generalised and I appreciate this is a pretty irrelvent question but i'll be interested to see what ppl think:

As I see it, Price and Reardon got into a house they weren't wanted in and Reardon got abit slap happy with his ex missis. Her new piece came with a baseball bat, Leon Pryce gave him a bit of a shove and tumble, yesterdays outcome is their punishment. Its Done With.

What if someone was to gain entry to my house. Say i'd forgot to lock the door when I went to bed. They were on the rob, having a good look for my piggy bank and I heard em downstairs. First thing i'd do would be to grab a baseball bat and go investigate. I do this and find two unwanteds in my house. They slap my missis about and then push me over. Now...do think I'd be happy with the punishment given to these burglars. Because our legal system is so fair of course it would be a suspended sentance for the heavy handed one and community service for the other???Thoughts................. ???

As I said Ive dumbed it down alot, and I know some people will take the "That'll never happen, different scenarios etc etc tact. But lets think hypothetically......Go on...let yourselves.
