three days to bring him to justice.

Why can it not always be this way.

A more successful history on the field....I'm of the opinion that the prem is better for having the biggest clubs. Catchment area wise, Leeds and Sheffield Weds would both be credit to the premiership in that respect

Fair enough. I was commenting on the statement that Leeds had more history than Millwall. Lack or success or notoriety doesn't equal with lack of history as every game has a tale, even if not an interesting one. Its one of my pet hates when people say a club has no history compared to newer clubs. There are very few Football Clubs newer than Leeds United and most of those are recent entries near the bottom.

I agree that the PL needs the big clubs and that Leeds are one of them. They have strong following and a history of success over several decades. They are certainly the biggest club outside the PL. The problem is that there are a lot of clubs with a good claim: the Sheffield Clubs, Forest, Derby County. If all the big city clubs became established there would be no room for a Norwich or Ipswich or Reading (who have a long history).

He was too drunk to get away and the evidence was quite compelling. He also couldn't afford expensive lawyers to argue that the punch was sarcastic and in response to something Kirkland did to him, unseen by the watching crowd.

What were the jail sentences for the twitter/racebook cases (the one in Swansea and the one about the missing girl)?

Edit: Oops, that should read Facebook.

Prosecutor Paul Macauley said Cawley told police he had drunk a number of cans of lager and three-quarters of a litre of vodka before arriving in Sheffield and then had a further seven to 10 pints of cider.

Bull; I can hold my drink but if I had that much, I'd probably had have missed Kirkland altogether - fell on the floor and went to sleep

I think you'd be dead.

There's no way he drank that before the match. He'd have passed out or died from alcohol poisoning.

This new evidence suggest Kirkland was simulating.

No no he was just trying to avoid injury
