Being naive and wandering into a strange area is not 'asking to be mugged'. Being drunk and/or acting obnoxiously is not 'asking for a beating'. It's a strange world we inhabit that anyone can think Seaborne's condition was in any way 'deserved'. How do we grade how much of a beating is allowed when someone annoys you, IR?

The club has released a statement saying that his condition is not life-threatening, which is a relief at least.

You clearly don't understand what I've been saying, and I don't think it's really appropriate to hijack the thread further trying the obviously futile attempt to explain to you.

No, no, you explained your views perfectly, I just disagree with them.

The Daily Express chose to publish a picture of him with a blood spattered face.(during a game)

According to the Mirror (I know)
he got in a fight because he was hitting on women (who had boyfriends) and bragging about his £5k a week salary and googling himself on his phone to prove it.

Massive pinch of salt, but if it's true, even though it doesn't excuse anyone from giving him that sort of a kicking, I'd struggle to find sympathy for him. All behaviour has consequences and regularly behaving like a twat makes it quite likely someone will give you a kicking eventually.

All that a side, I wsh him a full recovery. It would be terrible to have your life ruined by a stupid youthful mistake. Even worse if you did nothing to provoke it. I hope the people who did it are caught and locked up, they're obviously a danger to the public.

Well I hate spaghetti bolognese, but actually I love spaghetti bolognese.
