This lad has been jailed despite the fact that somebody else has confessed to carrying out the attack. Words fail me.
I think I`ll give Bulgaria a miss when it comes to a holiday, despite the Travel Industry saying that it gives `value for money`.

Considering the other guy only confessed when the trial started and is safe in the UK, do you really blame them for carrying on?

Firstly let me say that I belive that the Liverpool supporter should not be in prison if the facts that have come out are correct.
However, the Bulgarian had no choice but to continue with the trial. All that appears to have happended is that their are media reports, through solicitors that another fan has admitted to the crime. There are no legal papers or interviews with the confessors in the hand of the bulgarian authorities so all they can do is proceed.
THE SAME THING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY.

Ah yes Bulgarian justice - I have had first hand experience of that. Back in 1982 I travelled by train from Munich to Instanbul and you go through Bulgaria but need what they call a double entry/exit visa. The stupid Bulgarian Embassy in the UK only gave me a single visa so on my way home from Turkey to Germany the Bulgarian gestapo unceremoniously kicked me off the train , rifled my luggage and threw me in a police cell for a couple of yours. They then drove me by taxi to the Bulgarian/Turkish border (and made me pay a fortune for the cab). I had to walk accross the border through no mans land back into Turkey all the while under the gaze of itchy fingered border guards. The Turks just smiled when I got to their side and said "visa problem?"
