Crystal Palace captain Jason Puncheon has admitted lashing out at nightclub doorman with his belt.The contempt of court charge for Ben Chorley was quite funny
Puncheon was given a community order requiring him to carry out 210 hours of unpaid work, and pay the doorman £250 compensation.
In a twist at the end of the hearing, Bromley footballer Ben Chorley, of Oakfield Lane, Dartford, was charged with contempt of court.
After taking a photograph of Puncheon while he was in the courtroom, the 35-year-old father-of-two was fined £1,000.

I hope he has to spend all 210 hours cleaning dog shit off the streets of Croydon.
That should get rid of about 5% of it.2 -
It’s a tough one because I normally couldn’t give a shit about random comments/jokes regardless of who it effects but knowing someone who lost an eye to a belt buckle, I don’t find his wanky little fine and sentence laughableAFKABartram said:

In a lot of professions, people who do things like this lose their jobs. These players are role models and you have to wonder why football's standards are so low. I'd give him a year ban for bringing the game into disrepute.0

Sadly, he won't lose his job because the club is run only as a business (not saying others aren't) and the bottom line is he'll cost more to replace than the value lost to the club's good name. In comparison to what Cantona did at Selhurst Park, this is far worse but the punishment by the club and/or FA will be far less.MuttleyCAFC said:In a lot of professions, people who do things like this lose their jobs.
