Footballfirst Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-48855542 150 hours community service and a 12 month football banning order Quote A Hibs fan who punched Hearts goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal during a game has been banned from football matches in Scotland for 12 months and ordered to perform 150 hours of unpaid work. Edward Harrold, 21, from Musselburgh, was found guilty of the attack at Tynecastle Stadium after a trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in May. Sentence had been deferred until Wednesday for reports. Sheriff Alison Stirling said Harrold had a previous football conviction. The attack happened during the Edinburgh derby match on 31 October last year. Head down In his evidence, Zlamal had told Sheriff Stirling how he had gone to collect the ball after it had gone behind his goal into the Hibs section of the crowd. He said: "I was going to pick up the ball and throw it back into the game when someone hit me." Zlamal said he did not see who had hit him, adding: "I couldn't because my head was down. "My nose was sore, but it was not anything. "I was looking if there was blood from my nose, but I was not bleeding." The goalkeeper said he had fallen down because of the shock of being hit and added: "After I checked my nose, I felt fine and got on with the game". When defence solicitor, Ross Jenkins, asked Zlamal why he had gone back and clapped to the Hibs fans, he replied: "It was the best way to answer the fist, because some people who are hurt punch back, but that is not my way". Mr Jenkins put it to Zlamal he had been "tapped on the nose and theatrically fell to the ground". The keeper replied: "I never in my life was making it up. I don't like to be pretending to anything". During the same game, Hibs manager Neil Lennon - now the boss at Celtic - was hit by a coin thrown from the Hearts supporters' section of the stand.

Manny1874 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Very surprised he wasn't banned from football matches for longer, particularly as he has a previous football conviction. John Wilson was banned for five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 So maybe when it's being talked about in the media they can change from "allegedly" and "appeared", or as it's reported in today's Sun, " a Hibs fan infamously aimed a punch at him". Eh no, he was bloody hit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobboM Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hold on a wee minute here. He's been previously banned but when it comes to a high octane Derby game the Hibees say, "Here you go pal.

Kiwidoug Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I agree with the poster who said forcing him to watch Hibs every week would have have been a much stricter sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 150 hours community service is about right, solicitor probably claimed he is in full time employment 12 months ban seems very light, hopefully Hearts ban him from Tynecastle for longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morph Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Couldn't care less about the community service but a years ban for attacking a player ffs Examples need to be made of these arseholes, including any of our own fans caught lobbing coins or doing similar.

They are difficult to monitor but if found to have breached it then custody likely as it’s a blatant breach of a court order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
