He could always claim he was only trying to support his injured wrist by sticking his fingers in Long's eye socket

See it all the time....at Pub rugby...dirty very dirty

Also saw that on the replay, watched it with my daughter and she and I both said that it was intentional, you could see his fingers seardching around for his eyes. Very unprofessional!

Our lads seemed to think it was deliberate as they went after Parker hard after the incident. Usually I don't like to see a player injured but I cheered when we broke his wrist.

Wow, how pathetic

Happens a lot, like players stamping on players fingers at the play the ball. A lot of players are targeting the genitals too in the last 5 years or so.

Hello Leon

Which only goes to prove what a complete t[size=1.[/sizewat you are.

I couldn't care less what has happened prior to it, RL fans should never, ever cheer a player picking up a serious injury you idiot.

I strongly suspect that C is actually for coc[size=1.[/sizek.

Have to agree - it would be very difficult at that pace to deliberately aim for the eyes. I would give him benefit of the doubt. the slow motion definitely makes it lok bad though so I could easily be wrong.

Quite correct, you can shatter someones jaw and will only get a 1-2 match ban

Are you talking about Catalans? I think use of the forearm (if deliberate) will get him more than 2 matches - it bl00dy well ought to.

Yes Chris Walker, he's been charged with Grade B which carrys 1-2 matches


Gouging also is a disgusting act, what a coward

It wouldn't matter if they charged parker with it cos he went off with a broken wrist so any suspension would only be during his time out injured.

Coward? Despite being found not guilty??

Sure he'd appreciate you calling him that (using a pseudonym on an internet forum

)

Maybe you could call him that in person when Salford play HKR, just to prove it's not you that's a coward?

Don't care what a player does but you never cheer an injury to a player.

Why what would he do ....beat up a fan ffs

Well it looks like Parker got away with it:- news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 593547.stm But maybe his injury was one of our lads exacting some summary justice?

I severely doubt it, because he's a genuinely nice bloke. That's why I didn't think for a second he'd caught Longy in the eye on purpose.

My point was that MrPhilB was unfarily calling him a coward, despite having done nothing cowardly, when he himself was arguably being cowardly by slagging him off online - the phrase keyboard warrior springs to mind - and I wonder/doubt whether he would've had the guts to call Rob a coward to his face?

I thought it was pretty straight-forward and clear what I meant TBH - the fact that you assumed Parker would 'beat up a fan' says more about you than it does me, MrPhilB or Rob Parker.

Good of you to jump to MrPhilB's defence though - maybe it shouldn't be Berrigan that's referred to in your username?

It looked deliberate to me but either way I would not wish the injury he got on him.

He felt for his nose, found it, and gouged. He is a coward, he wouldn't front up to O'Meley or Fitz.

Like most people from Salford, the "annonymous asailant" is a tag they wear, along with the one on their ankle.

TBH I'm not sure they got it wrong on this occasion. I don't think the replay was as conclusive as some seem to think, and his hand position was very odd for a deliberate gouge attempt at full speed.

People with common sense, including those at the RFL, realised it was an accident.

People with common decency, including several Hull fan, will realise the second part of your post is very childish.
