The Age article

The court heard how King, who was celebrating his wife's pregnancy and scoring a winning goal only hours earlier, was repeatedly cold-shouldered by women revellers in London's packed Soho Revue Bar last December.

The court was told that, when the slightly-built university student rejected his advances, King, a father-of-three, replied "I'm just out of your league. I'm a millionaire."

She replied: "I don't care who you are, take your multi-millions and get away from our table."

His single clenched fist blow was so powerful that two other revellers - one of them holding on to his arm - were also sent flying, the Press Association reported.

Props to the chick for standing up for herself. He'll never live that down, ever. What an arsehole.

...the judge added: "I appreciate this will cost you an enormous amount of money, but it is difficult to be sympathetic when you were boasting about your earnings in the way you did."

BAM!

What a wanker.

The judge told the player in addition to the jail sentence, he would have to register as a sex offender for seven years.

What is that about?

"This is a clear case of institutional racism. You should not be up there... Up the National Front. Heil Hitler."

Whats all that about?

I'm more impressed that a pussy soccer player had the strength to even hurt an infant, let alone a chick.

some (presumably white) liverpool player got off for an assault recently, so they're accusing the judge of being racist.

but really the circumstances surrounding the two incidents were very different, which is a more plausable explanation as to why this retard is going to jail and why the other retard got off.

He 'groped her' (earlier in the article).

I was in Berlin waiting for the train at an U-bahn station and these two Turkish guys walked straight up to this cute blondie (mid-20's) and started grabbing her breasts. My mate and I couldn't believe it. She handled it pretty well, and my mate asked her if she was ok, but other than that we didn't do anything.

If I could take that moment back I'd consider violence as an option. We talked about it later and there were cameras everywhere, we should have reported it and made the girl report it. We were just so shocked we didn't really know what to do. And you're in another country, etc, etc, you just don't know what to do.

I'd know what to do, imagine if it was your mrs they felt up instead of some random girl
you'd cut sick, right?

well, people like that tend to pick on the weak - so they themselves should be picked on when doing such a thing
I enjoy those kind of confrontations where you pick on someone who is picking on someone weaker than they are

nothing better than seeing a bully squirm

Yeh I read this on a news site too...

It was the 'another country' that held me back mostly. My mate was German living in Berlin - if he had have gone for it I would have jumped in for support. And he's a big guy and was in the army. So him holding back sort of made me second guess.

But yeah, what they did, and the way they were laughing - just no respect for women (or anyone, really, is the gist of it). It was really unbelievable.

You are right about if it was my missus, that's true. But these guys wouldn't pick on a chick who was standing with a bloke, for sure. Girl was standing on her own waiting for train.

"I'm just out of your league. I'm a millionaire."

Who would serious say that?

Like I understand that someone could express that sentiment, but who would arrange their words that way?

Thats gotta be paraphrased right?

Who would serious say that?

Plenty of people.

Wankers.

being locked up overseas would be less than ideal.

admittedly being arrested in germany is a world apart from being arrested somewhere like bolivia, but it still would suck absolute balls.

That part right there gives you enough info on their mentality, if they're that weak that they wont approach women near men - they're weak in general imo

If I got locked up over helping out some strange women I'd write it down to an experience, but chances are in your favor if you're helping an innocent victim

If I got locked up over helping out some strange women I'd write it down to an experience, but chances are in your favor if you're helping an innocent victim

Yeah, but then something goes wrong like in today's paper and suddenly you're probably not so happy to 'write it down as experience'.

Too true Pinky.

Even the government warns you... one punch can kill. Stay out of fights. If you attract trouble when you drink maybe that is something to think about.

The guy will be sitting in jail thinking how something so stupid got him in jail. We all know that 99% of arguments on the piss are over nothing or something stupid.

And the fact that he punched a woman??

The bitch f***ing deserved it.

He should serve time.

would have thought a soccer player's instinct was to kick, not punch!

deserved.. move along nothing more to see here

She took a dive imho

Marlon King is a s*** soccer player anyway
