Bignall in trouble?

[Dirk Gently]

Would it kill this thread stone dead if I told you that Bignall was on duty in the hospitality area today?

[Royal Lady]

Hopefully Dirkers!

I think people now realise that a "drugs" offence = bye bye

Speeding, fighting or whatever results in a "shame on you, now go put your boots on"

[Dirk Gently]

Surely a drugs offence = a transfer to a Premier League club.

I meant Byron Glasgow. I was talking exclusively with regard to RFC players m9.

Will fit in well with Lee Barnard then!

Anyone know anything about Nicholas Bignall being in trouble with the law? There's a guy listed at Reading Crown Court soon of that name with the same date of birth for AOABH and having an offensive weapon alongside two other guys.

Errr, not quite. Bignall is not accused of having an offensive weapon.
The third guy was and the CPS say they will now be presenting no evidence so the weapons charge is dropped.
But that's not Bignall anyway

No, of course. Bignall's just been charged with smashing a guy's face in with his mates

I'm not discussing whether or not Bignall HAS BEEN ACCUSED (but not found guilty of)
injuring another person. I am making no judgment, good or bad on the man.

I'm simply making the point that he was NOT charged with carrying an offensive weapon

Best place for him

If only "pride of the South" had an L in it

[Maguire]

He definitely did it, IMHO

[Snowball]

He definitely did it, IMHO

OK, that's Maguire on the jury. 11 to go.

Any more fair-minded, listen-to-all-the-evidence-first members of the public care to volunteer?

Look, the original post clearly implied that Bignall
had been carrying an offensive weapon (eg a knife)

that sort of "carelessness" shouldn't go unchallenged.

Unchallenged it ends up as "accepted fact" even though

(a) Bignall WASN'T charged with having an offensive weapon

(b) The charge against the other guy (for carrying a weapon) was shelved.

It's not "pedantic" to want the truth, especially when it might
involve a 20-year old's freedom or imprisonment.

Just my opinion, happy to be wrong.

Suppose Madejski might buy off the judge or something

[Snowball]

But why "form an opinion" at all, without actual evidence,
presumably you weren't there, weren't the person attacked,
don't know anyone who was actually a witness, haven't seen
the police files or attended the first court hearing.


So on a very minimal newspaper report you "decide",
basically prejudice yourself, even though you're
"happy to be wrong..."
