I'd recommend a hankerchief if he can't

Along with Heyward, Thompson, Raynor, Pyce, Reardon, Bowyer, Woodgate etc. etc.

Not really practical in the real world...

I like Ben as a player, but was totally sickened by what he did! I will never think of Ben the way I once did. If it was up to me he would have gone to jail.

Saying all this, the court has made it's judgement, no matter what some may think of it. Rovers could have sacked him for him to be snapped up by some other club, how would that of helped him? Answer is it wouldn't, it wouldn't teach him a thing! Our club has once again proved it's professionalism, by punishing (unlike other clubs in the same position) and at the same time supporting Ben to hopefully become a better person.

I hope he uses this experience to help make a difference.

Well done Rovers.

1. Big difference in both, if you know the full story.
2. Nope, said he had been punished, never condoned what he did. The injuries reported in the HDM I understand are a slight over exageration. never defined it as 'an everday playground scuffle' what I said was my daughter said she had seen as bad at school - they don't have playgrounds at secondary by the way.
3. I don't have a problem with the sanctions imposed by the club, but he has now been punished by the courts and by the club, there is no need for the rugby league to get involved or they could be setting a big precedent.

Are you going to disect everyone else's posts in the same way?

Probably why society is in the mess it is.

With a bit of granny spit, just the ticket

Which is why impartial courts and juries decide the outcome of such cases in this country.

.

So guess you say everything if fine , eh ? . Have you ever had a good kicking from a thug ?

It was reported on Radio Humberside by a Look North reporter that the prosecutor was amazed Keil Thompson didn’t receive any injuries apart from bruising and a cut on his face.

So what do you suggest, some sort of lynch mob or vigilante action?

A bit odd that you've been an outspoken advocate of no further action being brought against Cockayne and the next thing you know you're cheerleading the club's, er, further action against Cockayne. Added to your very different opinions on 2 players who some might say have comparably shabby characters and it all looks a bit contradictory.

He should be in Jail anyway and then Rovers wouldn't have had to impose any further punishment of this sort. As it is I think they have got it just about right when you compare it to other clubs actions against players with similar convictions.

Go on stamp your feet.

Im aware of a doorman from Blackpool, someone tried to gouge his eyes out whilst being racially abused.

Go ahead and think what you like, you will anyway

look at your avater and realise how dumb your post sounds. Who IS Feka gonna get!!!!, a bus driver

He should have been sacked. We can't have Rugby League players doing that. Same goes for my club, I for one hope that Reardon's contract is ripped to pieces over the coming weeks.

Family sport indeed.

Ahh but Reardon's a bag of brown stuff. I'd also want rid.

My understanding is that is very likely to happen.

Why would I do that?

Cos Kiel Thompsons head is there and it's the done thing???

This is something i did pick up on in a previous post, according to the judge, one of the reasons Ben was sprared jail was because of the fact that the victim suffered no serious injuries.
If that was the case then could the HDM have a case to answer for libel, just a thought!!.

Generally it is one day per week (in Humberside), where will he be doing his CS?

Seems a tad strange that the only place to mention these injuries is the HDM I must say.Saying that it must of been in the news somewhere first for them to of picked up on it
