Seven games for almost starting a riot?

Back in February, Rob Tolfrey caused mayhem while playing for his Ryman League side Kingstonian FC, after he jumped into the stands to confront (fight) a group of fans who presumably had been heckling him. Well despite starting a fight that spilled over to involve even more players and fans, and resulted in the match being abandoned by the referee, his actions were deemed worth of just a seven game ban, which seems remarkably lenient. The keeper will miss the last two matches of the season, a possible playoff run, and whatever remains of his ban at the start of next season. Despite this, his club will be sticking by him.
