Daft lad goes out and has a few beers and gets into a scuffle shocker .
The above comment is not aimed at the current subject of this thread .

BUT .

How many of the people that are lining up to cast stones at Cas and Mr Owen if the rumours are even anywhere close to being true are guilty of such behaviour themselves ?

I am . Therefore I will not (as much as I would love to ) be involving myself in and slating of either the club or the player .

It ain't uncommon for lads to get involved in a fracas on nights out /take drugs / have an affair/ drink and drive / etc etc etc. There must be thousands of such incidents every night of the week . Some happen to involve people who are considered to be public figures .

Yes they should know better , but so should your average Joe .

We all make mistakes . I have made some of biblical proportion in my life .

Some people really need to lose their holier than thou attitude . The fall from those high horses can be very painful so I hear .

Ditto regarding Hull .



[sizePS THIS IS JUST MY OPINION ON THIS SUBJECT . IT IS NOT ME HAVING A LOVE IN WITH THE FIVE FINGERED INBREDS FROM UP THE ROAD [/size

In fairness its not all of them mostly just the usual suspects, some wakey posters are being objective.










Lets not have another slanging match just because a few of the wakefield fans are eaten up by bitterness towards us. We have some that are just as bad.

All seems reasonable to me:

There is an investigation in law ongoing - therefore that is being respected with privacy and that is right and proper.

Secondly, regardless of if Richie is charged (which he isnt yet and being charged is still an acre away from being convicted or in fact guilty bear in mind) he has admitted and the club have sanctioned him becuase guilty or not, he has breached a proprtion of his responsibilities and as such a sanction is warranted.

Without judging on the rights and wrongs, I have had my say on the thread already abotu this - I fail to see in a society that has an innocent until proven guilty justice system what anyone else wants to see? Civic justice is doing its thing, but regardless of that the club has moved quickly to punish a player and he has moved quickly to be contrite and apologise and say as much as he can for the moment.

Seems a very positive position at the moment, door still open if some allegation is proved for further action/statement. End of story.

BTW:- I wonder what username "G.Price Sandal Wildcat Fan Club" is using these days!!

I think you've summed it up well; the club appear to have done everything they can reasonably do at this stage.

As for the bit in bold - has anyone called for anything more? I don't see a great deal of moralistic outrage about this case and from what I've read, apart from reasonable comments about the follishness of young men in drink, there doesn't seem to be a mob baying for blood.

It reminds me a bit of our own handling of the Gregg Johnson case last season; he was subject to a police investigation and rightly, the club didn't apply any sanctions until that investigation was concluded - when it was and it found him guilty of a serious assault, he was dismissed.

It would be interesting what some of their holier than thou posters would say if, for example Ben Cockcayne scored the game clinching try in the Good Friday game,or clinched a play off place / Wembley final place etc
