This kind of thing is extremely common, especially in the lower leagues.

It does say he made no profit so I don't understand why he would risk it, he's getting to that age where if it would of been any longer he would have to retire.

You come at the king - You better not miss. It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg



Without knowing the details that seems harsh.(albeit with a lot of the ban in the off season, like Flower, so makes it sound worse)

Long n Gleeson profited themselves and got significantly less.

Won't sit well with those of our sponsors whose business is bookmaking or internet gambling, I'd imagine. Don't think it's harsh at all, TBH.

'6 months' is a headline, but if you look at the amount of games he'll miss, not so much. considering the season is winding up.

I think Richie will be more bothered about it tarnishing his name. It looks bad on him but after reading various reports about the details it seems pretty pathetic and unjust.

Players know the rules. If you've got any sense you ensure you stay well within them.

If you get caught breaking them - presuming he has, no matter how marginally - then I've not got a lot of sympathy.

If he did, and he is contesting it as is his right then he deserves a big ban. This type of stuff is top class stupidity.

Richie gets 6 months for helping some pals out on whatsapp, Ben Flower get 6 months for assaulting a defenceless player. Let that sink in

Has anybody heard if Ashley Gibson is ok?

That's one of the worst 'tackles' I've seen in along time. Looked like something off WWE.

Very different things and you really shouldn't try and compare them other than to say neither belong in the game .

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Quote: Fallon "Very different things and you really shouldn't try and compare them other than to say neither belong in the game .'"

He was not comparing the offences, rather then punishments.
