I guess dont know all the facts but these seems a very soft sentence considering the injuries

Street fight which ensued after the defendants were subjected to an unprovoked attack by the victim's mate, so there was more than a hint of self defence about the case (albeit not enough to exonerate them).

Still a little surprised that it was a fine rather than a community order or suspended sentence, but maybe the Scottish courts see a large fine as harsher punishment than English courts tend to do. You know what they say about Scots and money after all.

Ah okay that makes a bit more sense then! The fine 2000 wouldn't be that large considering they are offshore

Depends, if the second new report is true and the defendants were subject to an unprovoked attack then tough, turn up to fight expect to get battered in my opinion.
