Footballer attacked bouncer with handbag

A Championship footballer attacked a nightclub doorman with his girlfriend's handbag, causing a three-inch cut to the victim's head.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, attacked 37-year-old doorman Greg Smith outside a nightclub in Plymouth, Devon.

The 22-year-old striker was ejected from the Candy Store with friends at around 4am on November 11 last year and an argument started on the pavement outside.

Prosecuting barrister David Gittins said CCTV footage showed Ebanks-Blake holding "something over his head" which he hit the doorman with.

He said: "It was his girlfriend's handbag.

"Having been ejected from the club there was a fracas. We do not know what was in the handbag.

"There was a two to three-inch cut on the man's head."

Ebanks-Blake, of Renaissance Gardens, Plymouth, pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm and a second public order offence of using threatening or abusive language.

At Plymouth Crown Court, Judge Francis Gilbert QC said he was a man of previous good character and gave him credit for pleading guilty.

Ebanks-Blake was ordered to pay a fine of ?1,350, compensation of ?500 and prosecution costs of ?650.

Everyone is probably still laughing at it because it was a handbag. Although that still isn't a excuse.

Yeah, but you know that championship w.a.g.s. carry a kosh in their bra and a brick in their handbags, due to their blokes don't get paid as much as

premiership players.

Well they could blag a jewellers whilst out on the raz.

I'm still a bit pi**ed off at this. He should have got a jail sentence. There was even CCTV footage of him attacking the guy! I'm glad he doesn't play for us anymore.

It's a bit freaky, though. 3 current or former Plymouth Argyle players have recently had run-ins with the law. Ebanks-Blake here, Vincent Pericard is in jail, and our goalkeeper, Luke McCormick, looks like he's going to be in jail for life after that tragic car crash. He deserves a life sentence anyway. He was over the limit, and he didn't have insurance!

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
