New Tour Card holder Callum Goffin receives suspended sentence and community service after fatal pub fire

Callum Goffin surprisingly won a PDC Tour Card at the Q-School earlier this month, but it remained to be seen whether he could make use of his Tour Card.
The Welshman stood trial in court with his mother on Monday for involvement in a fatal fire at a pub in Morecambe, which killed two people.
Goffin and his mother were convicted of violating safety rules at the working men's club. When a propane gas cylinder ignited, the emergency exits were closed and there was no emergency lighting. This prevented the two victims from getting out in time.
Callum who was working behind the bar, was given a suspended six-month jail sentence and 200 hours of community service. The mother of Goffin received a harsher sentence. She was seen as primarily responsible and must serve an eight-month prison sentence.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
