At first glance this incident barely justifies a comment, but its significance spreads much wider.
I can't begin to imagine how it was received by the dead boys' family and I don't even want to try. I doubt very much if he thought his actions would've brought so much misery to those involved, but then again, maybe he should've.
There are so many incidents both on and off the pitch which may not be illegal or unlawful but which bring the game itself, the club or the individual into disrepute but what can be done about it? Any fine would be water on a duck's back and banning him for any length of time would be a penalty on the club more than the player, him being a very expensive investment.
I'd like to see something along the lines of community work, hard, maybe distressful community work. Not only would they be confronted with a different lifestyle but they'd also see how the other half live and hopefully knock them off that pedestal and back into reality.

In this case it could be something like action likely to cause a breach of the peace. And Chris Morgan should be charged with GBH against Iain Hume. Just because it took place on a footbal pitch does not matter if it was premeditated.
