Nial mason 6 months suspended prison sentence!!!!

[adamtherover]

Is this a wind up, on the free press web site it says he's sexually assaulted a woman and has been sent down for 6 months? Surely we have known this court case was go in on?

Been out through "injury" a while now which probably explains it

[adamtherover]

Missed the bit where it said suspended!!!!!!    This is where the club shows its morals!!!!

[RedJ]

It says on another website it's suspended for two years.

Still, this seems a bit out of the blue if it's true.

[ian1980]

6 months, suspended for 2 years and placed on the sex offenders register for 7 years

Wouldn’t surprise me if we sacked him over this

[adamtherover]

7 years on the sex offenders register, quality player or not, we can't give opposing players who have broke the law dogs abuse and accept this, because he wears red and white.   Unbelievable!!!!

Maybe if we close this thread then fans of other clubs won’t know about it.
He is hardly Renaldo in the public eye is he.

[silent majority]

I can't see how closing this thread achieves anything, after all it will hit the national press.

[adamtherover]

It's not on the BBC football front page, let's hope.this negative publicity doesn't tarnish this fantastic week we have all been through.

It might now.

[Copps is Magic]

Mason? Really?! Staggering how you can get the wrong impression of a person.

Stupid behaviour that has no place in the 21st century.

[ian1980]

It won’t achieve anything SM. There is no way of stopping these things getting out.

I have to say, I’m actually very surprised it hasn’t come out already and equally surprised at the actual news itself.

It’ll be interesting to see what the club do now though

It's in the DFP, which is owned by Johnson Press which has about 100 other papers to its name, including the Yorkshire Post. How does this thread contribute?

[Copps is Magic]

There's a very pratical way of assesing what action the club should take and that's to look at the terms of his contract.

I trust the club will do the right thing.

There is no way this will get kicked into the long grass, but they will consult and decide from there.

[Filo]

I see he’s mived from Edlington then, to Bawtry Road Hatfield Woodhouse, where HMP Moorland is

[mushRTID]

Sack him.

[ChrisBx]

Get rid immediately.

it says the club sent representatives to support him as he was pleading nor guilty, but changed his plea at the last minute!!    This surely must alter the view of the club now?

Lucky he isn't moving into moorlands

[Chris Black come back]

What was he thinking? The poor lass he assaulted and also his career now probably on line. What a wazzock.

[IDM]

Gobsmacked.!

Reading the DFP and assuming the report is accurate, then the club knew about this all along BUT stood by Mason as he claimed innocence..

However at court he’s pleaded guilty, which puts the club in a difficult situation..  in some ways it would be better if he had actually gone down and served his time, although afterwards it would still be difficult for him..

As much as I admire him as a player, you just can’t grope someone without consent..

Very sad day, as I can see him being given the boot and we can’t complain if that happens..

[scawsby steve]

Looks like Lewis will be getting his chance sooner than expected.

[Mustapha-Dump]

Get rid at once

in this day and age, bringing the name.of the club Into disrepute is no.doubt in every contract!

[Nudga]

f**k him off. Who the f**k does he think he is?

[glosterred]

Looks like Lewis will be getting his chance sooner than expected.

Wonder if that is why he was brought in?

Not sure if the evidence of his DNA being found was known to the club previously. I'd get rid but I don't think he'll be the only one, I bet theres footballers all over that can't take no for an answer just because of who they are.

[dickos1]

He may have been advised to plead guilty to get a suspended sentence,
Plead not guilty and lose and get sent down there and then
