I grew up in Newark, so hard to forget. Barras deserved punishment, didn't deserve execution.

A Blast From the Past. Do many remember the case?
I used to see Brendon Fearon quite a bit - what a complete d!ck head. A real wannabe.

RIP Mr Martin, you did the UK a big favour and stopped a scumbag dead in his tracks, pity the other one wasn't wasted as well as you would have got a great BOGOF.
I can remember reading how Tony Martin was living, upstairs with his staircase taken out. No one deserves to live like that or be forced to live like that. I didn't know personally of Fred Barras but it seemed like he was a bad kid. Fearon was a heroin junkie who wanted to be part of one of the big gangs in Newark, who I can't name as it could lead to a ban.
I think Fearon tried to get hefty compensation pay out for being shot. but public opinion stopped it from happening.
We all know - its on the front page of the BBC News - (is this forum now becoming a News Bulletin service) In other news, Notts have signed!!!
It did say O/T. However much we all love Notts, it would be much more boring if we just waited for Notts stories before we posted.
It's generally the O/T posts that keep the board ticking over, and if you don't like 'em, don't open 'em.
