Sab Deol said he was punched twice by Discipline inside the VIP area at the club, prompting his cousin to intervene.
Both men said they had done nothing to provoke the attack.
Discipline smiled and nodded at the jury as he was released from the dock to join his parents, who wept with joy.
He shouted “Yes” before hugging girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa, 19, who plays Lauren Branning in the BBC soap.
Had the case not been thrown out she had been due to give evidence in support of Discipline.

Simultaneously awesome and odd:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_Strand
I found that name after reading about another Roar Strand, a fighter pilot:https://www.i-f-s.nl/accidents-incidents-1980/
"During a ground controlled approach to Bodø Airbase, this F-104G suffered a substantial loss of engine power. The pilot, Roar Strand, realised he would not reach the runway and decided to eject. He landed with minor injuries in Valnesfjorden."
So there are or were at least two people in the world called Roar Strand. In fact Roar is apparently not all that unusual - it's the Norwegian equivalent of "Roger" - and there are a tonne of footballers with that name:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_(given_name)
Including Roar Christensen, Roar Hagen, Roar Johansen, a different Roar Johansen, and Roar Stokke.
Is Norway one of those places where there's a limited number of names, as in e.g. Iceland? I don't know much about Norway.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 18:27 (four months ago) link
or e.g. Wales
― Buckfast At Tiffany's (Tom D.), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 18:52 (four months ago) link
Not really limited as such, but heavily subject to trends (as I'm sure is the case elsewhere). To see the popularity of e.g. "Roar", visit the homepage of Statistics Norway, look for "Navnesøk", enter "Roar" and click the button, and you will find that out of Norway's 2,737,332 males, 6,581 have Roar as their first forename. Click the "Historisk utvikling" dropdown, and you'll see that it was particularly popular from about the end of WWII to the early 1970s – with a quite spectacular drop from 1973 to 1974. Intriguing.

i agree honestly, except think the 'oh' sounds are awkwardly situated. abysmal names to me are like hard white consonants and vowels mashed up together. parents who should have known better, somehow they missed that the full name was objectively ugly. mr. and mrs. gardner thinking that 'demarr' is fab just because grandpa was named that or w/e. when you say demarr gardner you sound like a yorkie barking at a passing car imo. that is probably way too much thought about what an abysmal real name is that no one asked for.

That cricket website is a goldmine for anybody writing a novel set in the late 1800s where the villain is a British imperialist. It's almost like a random name generator but with actual names. All you have to do is smush together a forename and some surnames. Obviously you can't use real names otherwise the people who owned those names would take legal action. As per e.g. Ernő Goldfinger, who tried to sue Ian Fleming for using his surname but decided against it, perhaps foreseeing what would come to be called the Streisand Effect.
William Conrad Francis Smeed is an evil-sounding name, and yet instead of dedicating his entire life to evil he decided to occupy some of his time with cricket, so he can't be entirely evil. He might not be evil at all! NB I'm writing this in case he googles his own name and finds this thread. He's a trained cricketer with access to body armour and a cricket bat. It's sad clicking on some of those names and seeing that they last played in 2020. Sometimes I forget that COVID ever happened, and then something comes along and reminds me.
