A relative of my wife was a policeman on duty when this happened. I spoke to him convinced he must be guilty but he said he thought he was innocent and that it was his reputation that had created the headlines.
I imagine Bristol Rovers when they took Barton on, were given assurances about what happened. Though at least the court case is well timed for them if they now need to find a new manager...
So they had a barney, Stendel got a slap, big deal. Can’t believe this has gone so far!
Had a Barney, Stengel got a slap, Barton goes to jail for 14 days to learn that you can have an argument without punching someone, big deal. Can’t believe it has taken so long and that Barton is all lawyered up. Why can’t he just man up and accept it.

I should think he’s getting the best lawyers he can afford because he could go down for this. He’s got previous so that will be taken into account.
He (possibly) pushed him rather than punching him, and Stendal "was knocked to the ground and when he looked up he saw the defendant passing him" - if Barton has decent lawyers that may be grounds for reasonable doubt.

If he thought he was going to ge a whack he got in there first.
Small man syndrome
I'm not a fan of him at all
The trial will be next year, provisionally on the 1st June. Great timing for Barton and Fleetwood
So many courts closed, Govt won't employ enough judges and other court staff and so it takes far too long for cases to come to court.
Police and CPS also short staffed which adds to the problem.
So many cases and people left as "released under investigation" and may or may not ever be followed up.
