football only thing keeping mellington on the rails there for a while. 7 weeks off will either make or break the kid.
O&M Live on their Facebook page are saying he will only serve the 3 matches, with the other 4 suspended for the 2017 season.
If this is right, what is the point of having suspended sentences if they are not automatically triggered if a subsequent offence occurs in that period.
Makes a mockery of the whole process.
I haven't even seen the incident so not commenting on if the sentence is appropriate, just the flawed process of the suspended sentence...
