piltonjambo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 A football fan who set fire to a rival supporter who was dressed as a sheep is to pay his victim ?25,000 in compensation. Hibernian fan Peter Wallace, 24, of St Andrews, set Aberdeen supporter Arjuna Rabindranath alight on a train. The victim, also 24, suffered serious burns and needed extensive treatment. Wallace admitted culpable and reckless conduct, and agreed to pay the compensation when he appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court. The incident happened on an Edinburgh to Aberdeen train last October. The pair were among fans, many of them in fancy dress for Halloween, returning from Aberdeen's SPL game at Hibs. Wallace - heir to a farm said to be worth millions of pounds - repeatedly flicked his lighter near Mr Rabindranath's costume, which comprised a white tracksuit and cotton wool.

Das Root Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'll be betting given he's the heir to a farm he doesn't normally set fire to the sheep until after it's pumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
