Another Hardaker moment??

Clearly says "F'ing Bent B4stard'.....

May as well bring it up before Leeds fans do.

He is a complete gobe

Bent also means crooked doesn't it ?

No.

Because the word "bent" legitimately means someone who is corrupt or biased.

It is also a slang word to refer to a person who is homosexual. This slang for a homosexual is based on the aforementioned definition of "bent".

So he is just a F'king B4stard then

It's a non issue, just like the Hardaker incident.

Should still warrant RFL lip readers looking into it.He may not have said "bent"?

He's sat in the stands watching the game. He can say what he wants. As already said above, it's a non-issue.

Hah.

Quite.

So now we let the thought police decide what the words that we use mean. Then we let them give us a kicking based on their interpretation. This Liberal dictatorship is stealing our freedoms. A free country needs free speech even if we give offence. You know that I was feeling really gay until I saw this and it upset me. I do hope that no cretin thinks that I am making any reference to anything other than the happy feeling that I had.

Even Leeds fans disagree over it.

Very good, I like what you've done there, but not quite the same is it?

Wane was using a word in the context of bias, Mr Zak however, was using a word as a homophobic slight.

Anyhow, Wane was wrong, the ref wasn’t biased at all.

The idea someone should be punished for something they say is ridiculous.

It's all lip-reading, which any search on YouTube will tell you is fraught with personal interpretation.

Really? So if someone said something homophobic or racist, they shouldn't be punished?

Define 'punished,. I personally don't harbour any racist or homophobic views. However, nor do I think someone else should be punished just because I may not agree with it or someone else maybe offended.

If somebody sets out to verbally harass an individual it's one thing but if somebody is merely expressing an opinion and someone feels offended then it's tough . Offence can only be taken. If somebody is offended by somehing I say then it's not really my fault. There seems to be a prevalent culture nowdays where people seek out things to be offended by and then demand an apology. If we want free speech then we have to understand that we may not like some of the things we hear.

I'm not referring to anything Shaun Wane may have said tonight.

As a fellow 50 something and not a fan of said Mr S Wane I would have to defend his vocabulary on this occasion. Bent in this context does not mean he's homophobic. The Oxford English Dictionary will be a much smaller volume if the pc brigade have their way.

Is it not time we in this country stooped doing things like this lip reading what next read every fans lips who were at the match to see if they said the same,

good god give a rest he did not say it to the refs face

All because the Ape is sat in stands doesn't mean he can say what he likes.

I don't think for a minute that Wane was making a homophobic comment, but surely calling the referee bent (in the sense 'corrupt') is pretty serious too.

Was this the "Ape" who out played your coach on the pitch.... Would you like some crisps to go with your Yorkshire bitter?

Why not?
The south stand talk gibberish at Leeds all the time
