Soccer Betting Lines

12/15/2008 - Edinburgh, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hibs midfielder Filipe Morais has been fined $765 after pleading guilty to an assault charge.

The 23-year-old Portuguese star admitted to kicking Robert Brown's head while he lay on the ground following an argument between the two men at Maxims casino in Edinburgh three months ago.

Solicitor George More, defending, said Morais was being 'pestered' by Mr. Brown and lashed out 'in frustration' after being provoked.

"Young footballers are quite often harassed or picked on or spoken to when they go out and my client went out that evening for a drink with a friend," said Mr. More.

"My client kicked out when he was down as an act of frustration because the last part of his evening had been utterly spoiled by this man."

Morais has already been fined $1,220 by Hibs for being out on a night before a match and is expected to be docked a further two weeks wages' for the assault.
