barney_b64 Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Barnard found not guilty, hopefully he can now get back to football and the form he showed last year.
Marsdinho Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 I heard that a couple of the jurors woke up with horses heads in their beds. Draw your own conclusions...

the wedge Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Wow. I think Breivik should give Lee's defence barrister a call. Delighted the boy's back and able to play without this huge weight on his shoulders anymore.

doddisalegend Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Just seen Nigel was in court as a character witness and NC sent in a written refrence seems the club stood by Barney. Glad to see it's all been sorted out now to celebrate by thumping Middlesbourgh on saturday.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Excellent news. Seemed a good lad when I've spoken to him outside SMS & always has time 4 a quick chat with my 5 year old too. Should-a been a character witness too! Does this mean he's not f**king hard now though?

manji Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Excellent news. Good to see NA and NC supporting him too.
saint si Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Now what odds on him scoring the goal that sends us to the prem on Saturday?

Mowgli Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 good. now we can sell him! W*nker. Have you forgotten the role he played in getting us up?
Shroppie Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 I'm delighted he's been cleared and it obviously vindicates his consistent not guilty stance. Makes me think that the evidence against him can't have been very convincing, and from what I've read it seems far from clear what happened in a general fracas. I'm just sorry he's missed a full season in the Championship after being an important player in League 1. If we go up, it will be a big ask for him to step up to that level but I wouldn't write him off, even though he's well down the pecking order now. Maybe he would do better to rebuild his career in a lower division, but whatever, I'd thank him and wish him well.

Sour Mash Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 W*nker. Have you forgotten the role he played in getting us up? He'll be off in the summer without a doubt. Very lucky to get a Not Guilty for that.
simo Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Tbf if a load of professional gutters were giving it loads I wouldn't rely on just my hands to fight them either
Barry the Badger Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Lee Barnard Barnard Can't remember how that shard of glass left his hand so scarred Lee Barnard Barnard
Shroppie Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He'll be off in the summer without a doubt. Very lucky to get a Not Guilty for that. Maybe if we get clubs coming in for him. I think he's got 2 years on his contract still. Why was he lucky? Were you there? Did you see what happened?
Viking Warrior Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Where are the posters who were convinced of his guilt and claimed to have seen or heard what happened when this story broke ?
Thedelldays Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Where are the posters who were convinced of his guilt and claimed to have seen or heard what happened when this story broke ? full of pure, unadulterated shyt
mcjwills Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He'll be off in the summer without a doubt. Very lucky to get a Not Guilty for that. Were you in court listening to the evidence to make that informed decision or are you just making it up as you go along. 12 of his peers listened to the evidence and made an informed decision "Not Guilty", so the evidence must have spoke for itself.
EBS1980 Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 On south today it said it took jury less than an hr to find him not guilty.
up and away Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He'll be off in the summer without a doubt. Very lucky to get a Not Guilty for that. Was he lucky? I can only assume he got off of those charges, given the statements from the "victims" side, because the jury believed those statements to be lies. From all that I have heard so far I am surprised, although someone did state the "victim" was pushing people to the side. Whereas the "victim" denies any involvement. I suppose if you are carrying two bottles in each hand and one in your mouth you are hardly going looking for trouble. Add in, if the "victim" was found to be lying to even a small degree, then out it all goes. The jury came to the decision in hardly any time, so it seems very clear cut from their side, even though it may be puzzling from what we know.

dellgirl Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He is one of ours , the Club stood by him and I would hope that most Saint's fans on this site will be happy with the outcome.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 W*nker. Have you forgotten the role he played in getting us up? Totally over the top response from a forum hard man, fact is Barnard wont survive the premier league cull. A loyal ambassador and a good servant but I fear his times up here.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He might yet have a part to play this season and he was given a 3-year extension to his contract this season so he may well be around for a while yet. A useful man to have on the bench IMO (especially over the next 10 days).
Leicestersaint Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 This case should never have gone to court - a waste of everyone's time and money. As for Lee Barnard in the PL - i can't see it myself.
Saint_Donovan Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 This case should never have gone to court - a waste of everyone's time and money. As for Lee Barnard in the PL - i can't see it myself. Why shouldn't it have gone to court? I'm sure if you were the one who had been bottled and left scarred you'd think differently.
buctootim Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Why shouldn't it have gone to court? I'm sure if you were the one who had been bottled and left scarred you'd think differently. Because if the newspaper reports are in any way accurate, the evidence was too weak and contradictory to get a conviction, regardless of whether he did it or not. And so it proved.

MarkSFC Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 W*nker. Have you forgotten the role he played in getting us up? why take it so personal? No....haven't forgotton what he's done but doesn't mean he is good enough now or for the prem. I dont understand why w*nkers like you get hung up on players who have done little and would go tomorrow for 50k extra.
Shroppie Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 either: "He got off with a guilty charge" or "He left a boxer scarred" Is it just possible he would prefer somethimg that doesn't refer to the court case that has hung over him for so long? What's wrong with the original "He's better than Frank Lampard" (except of course he isn't, but then does Adam really make Messi ......?
Mowgli Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 He'll be off in the summer without a doubt. Very lucky to get a Not Guilty for that. We'll see. Interesting that his drop in form/ injury conveniently coincided with the start of court proceedings. He now has no excuse for focussing on the job in hand - and still only 27.
Leicestersaint Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Because if the newspaper reports are in any way accurate, the evidence was too weak and contradictory to get a conviction, regardless of whether he did it or not. And so it proved. Exactly - it took the jury less than one hour to come up with a unanimous not guilty verdict - the prosecution case was simply far too weak to justify bringing it to court - and it is simply ridiculous that it has taken so long to get there and be resolved. The first time they turned up at court it was all double booked! What a waste of money and time - and the stress on Barnard must have been dreadful. The CPS has shown absurd incompetence (as so often).
dune Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 Just goes to show what a good (expensive) barrister can do.
sadoldgit Posted 19 April, 2012 Posted 19 April, 2012 The CPS would not have prosecuted if they felt the evidence was too weak for a conviction. These things go through extensive processes so as not to waste the public money. If the jury were not convinced of his guilt, so be it, it does not mean that the prosecution decision was not correct. That is why we have a defence system, to put the other side of the story.
