Doncaster Rovers have sacked Niall Mason after he admitted a charge of ***ual assault

[CASPER-64-FRANK]

I’m taking about criminal charges not just ***ual offences.
Extra baggage
Mason says there’s two sides to every story and don’t believe everything you read, he would though wouldn’t he ?
He originally appealed the sacking then changed his mind.

Putting aside the question over whether or not he received dodgy legal advice. If he had pleaded not guilty Donny Rovers would probably not started internal dismissal procedures on the basis of “innocent until proven guilty” and he would continue playing. He would also stand a chance of being found not guilty, thus playing on.

Doesn’t give much of an incentive to plead guilty does it?

He originally pleaded not guilty and his club stood by him. When he changed his mind to guilty Rovers rightly suspended him.
There's an article in the Daily Mail from 31st January giving details of the case.

He was at a private party, he was sat next to the woman,the main bit is ; he put his hand up her jumper and grabbed her right breast, they shut the bar and police were called.

He admitted being there but didn’t touch the woman which was later proved he lied by her bra which was took for analyst .

I wonder if he made a ‘ clean breast ‘ of it after the dna analysis.

A pal of Masons asked the woman “ do you like him, he’s a footballer on 4K a week “
She replied she wasn’t interested and already had a boyfriend.
