TCCANARY 263 Posted November 21, 2012 There''s lots of naughty boys and girls out there. The bit in red is quite funny! A PREMIER League footie ace has been fined £1,000 for having a police-style baton.The retractable club — like the ones riot cops use — was found in Norwich defender Sebastien Bassong’s car.Police discovered it when they stopped his car near London’s King’s Cross.Prosecutor Ellis Williams told Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court the asp baton was in the pocket of the driver’s door.Baton ... like the one found in Sebastien Bassong''s carCameroon international Bassong, 26, — who helped his side beat Manchester United on Saturday — appeared in court for the 10-minute hearing to admit possessing the weapon.Astonished District Judge John Perkins even had to check that the former Tottenham player’s wage had been entered correctly after seeing his hefty salary.A representative for Bassong said: “On behalf of Sebastien and the club we have nothing to say.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 946 Posted November 21, 2012 "ITFC striker bailed after being arrested on suspicion of assaulting pub staff"Presumably "on suspicion" because they couldn''t believe that an ITFC striker was capable of hitting anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don''t see the relevance of this TC. Are you trying to say there''s no difference between our players and theirs?

TCCANARY 263 Posted November 21, 2012 There''s lots of difference, Bassongs Baton looks very impressive (heres where Tilly brings in a Kathy reference) whereas brawling in a pub shows no class.I was given a opportunity to become part of Pickover''s Payroll but despite the state of the art key fob entry system I didn''t like what I saw.
