Exactly there was pre-meditation in the assault, however deserved. The fact that the security cameras (allegedly) were covered would suggest he wasn't the only one involved either. The huns lawyer being involved from the beginning suggests he was worried. What's the difference between this and the Santos incident?
The Czech player got the maximum length ban (right or wrong). All these huns on social media calling for the team to be banned from Europe, should keep that in mind the next time burst into a rendition of one of their favourite songs, give nazi salutes or make monkey gestures at opposition players.
I'm not entirely sure what bans, on their own, achieve? You would think a multi-national organisation like Uefa would have charitable partners to devise some kind of training programs to re-habilitate and re-educate.
Also, when are we going to hear the huns come out and condemn their own fans for the abuse of the keeper who got his skull fractured in the other assault, by Roofe?
