How could one prove the refusal to consider? Surely the act of stating a refusal to consider is in itself a consideration?

Crikey you've got issues brother. Something's clearly rattled your cage. Shall we all write in size=200? Does it make any difference? The Paul Sterling fallout ended in court as it was proven to have been racially aggravated. Not because Dean Lance didn't want to consider him / select him / think about selecting him / consider thinking about selecting him.

Depends upon each circumstance. Shouldn't be too difficult though.

I don't think it is.

I think telling a player he won't be considered is fine, but only when the player has been a liability all season, then in his final chance plays even more abysmally and gets banned for 2 matches. A performance which arguably led to us losing the game. Why persist with a player who clearly can't be d any more? He's going anyway & we've found a far better fullback. No sympathy for Webb, as I stated before (a point that you failed to grasp) look at Ali. He was told he wouldn't be required any more, took it on the chin and got on with life. A true team player.

PS which part of the Sterling events have I fudged? Was it :

a) the court case being for racial issues?
or
b) the court case being nothing to do with the fact he'd been told he was surplus to requirements (since this on its own would never get to court?)

The finding in the Sterling case was - IIRC - that he had not been discriminated against on grounds of race, but that Leeds failed to investigate his complaint properly in the first instance.

Fair enough, my bad.

Hope Webb doesnt choose to bite the hand that feeds, claiming racism. Who'd be an employer?!?

We still on with this? If i could picture a world where Webb was probably very realistic and apologetic about his showing at Wakefield then i could believe he's been hard done to. But this is Webb, the man who is always hard done by and never in the wrong, his reaction to a probable bollocking and dropping will of sucked and rightly got told that with that attitude he won't be playing again.
Ali last year and Hauraki in one or two of the recent games have played when the coach knew they heading out of the door so i don't buy it's because Webb won't be here in 2013. Bailey too was in the bad books it seems after Wembley but he's got himself back into the team and played well against Wakefield.
Some will feel i'm being harsh to a guy who has played so well for us in his time here but lets not pretend that Webb's ever had the best attitude.

Webb had a bad attitude on the pitch sometimes, that doesn't always equate to a bad attitude off it, how do we know he has had a sulk, and he isn't actually injured, dare say non on here know either way

It's a non point. It's completely different. Ali was considered for selection right up to the end of his contract.

.........because he didn't throw the toys out of the pram........only saying

It's quite a sad way for Webb to end his Leeds career, with all his troubles recently he has been a great signing and player for Leeds,

I'm lubed up ready to go
