Their convictions are a disgrace, a knee-jerk reaction based upon tired political assumptions about background and character.

I know of a lot worse 'crimes' that have been commited with less of a sentence. Yes, maybe you want to show it is not acceptable to run on a pitch without permission but this has/is ruining a persons life which is not okay. Make people more aware instead of ruining people's lives all together just because you have the power to do so.

Ridiculously high sentences. There should be NO custodial sentences for this...6-12 months suspended and a fine would've been sufficient!!

Far too harsh a sentence. A hefty fine and a football match ban would have sufficed! Total injustice.

I consider any custodial sentance for this crime to be ridiculously out of proportion. Why should my taxes be supporting an out of touch judge and feeding boys whom shoukd be doing community service, which would be far more beneficial to those lads and beneficial to the community. It's a shocking outcome.
