Some of you will know I have spent a little while recently winding up/correcting "Alternative Fuel Head" (or whatever he's called today) on the Evening News/Scotsman comment pages.
Well I saw this story while I was on the site: http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/scotland_star_offers_grovelling_apology_after_drink_drive_ban_1_1986721
So I took the opportunity to leave a comment opining that I thought it disgraceful that someone who, driving drunk and unlicensed, and therefore uninsured, who then fled the scene to try to evade responsibility should be given a slap on the wrist sentence, and that further I believed he, and others like him should be banned for life before they maim or kill someone.
Strong, but I didn't think that controversial. On checking back on the story, I find that my comment has been removed, as has the opportunity to comment.
Anyone else had experience of this or is just it not permissible to criticise criminal* footballers?!?
*according to the courts decision. Despite his "apology"
