Why don't you read the bloody book?

From page 49By the end of the night, I'd downed five or six pints of lager and a few shots of vodka and I was well drunk. It's hardly legendary boozing but I was only 18 and new to drinking... Anyway, I rolled out of the club at around 1am and staggered into the road and into the path of a car full of girls. Despite my best efforts to charm them by dancing inches from the bonnet, and making gorilla noises, they were blasting the horn for me to get out of the way ...

One of the girls was well drunk and she gave me loads more abuse than her mates. She started pushing me ... I knew I'd been a pain in the ar$e but it was all just high spirits; I wasn't prepared for things to get this nasty with a bunch of girls. Then she totally lost it and began punching me again and again.

Next thing I knew, I instinctively swung back at her. But as I threw the punch, the girl who'd been driving stepped in to drag her mate off me. My fist ended up landing square on her chin and she dropped to the floor ... [/i

Satisfied?

PS: I'm not defending him over the assault. I am defending him against someone turning him into a child beater when he wasn't! It is wrong to imply or state that he had been charged with the assault of a child when he had not.

She was a teenager i.e a young girl, which is what I stated. You said child not me.

Maybe, but not a "child beater" as insinuated.

Ermm

you said a 10 year old girl mate! perhaps your confusing her with yourself

It always makes me laugh, Wigan fans going on about his off-field behaviour being the reason for his release, as if it mitigates the decision.

Whatever, his off-field antics have never affected my life in the slightest, but having a legend and champion player entertain me in the red V for the last 12 years certainly has.

You can take the moral high ground but whatever way you look at it, Wigan got the very sh*tty end of a very sh*tty stick. They lost out big time, and their loss has been our gain.

I never said a 10 year old girl.

Jusy to clear things up

I said young girl.

What will be interesting is Saints supporters reaction to Long if he plays against Saints next season if your club gets dragged through the mire again because of his accusations.

Burn him!

It will be also interesting to see Wigan fans reaction if Long does something wrong when playing for Hull and Saints. I suspect there wont be as many threads as we are currently seeing.

But they subsequently tried to get him back TWICE despite those and further off the field antics.

Ssssh!

Dont let facts get in the way of a jealous pie eaters rant

Define teenager

13 to 15 you could say a young girl, 16 to 18 you could say young woman, which one is it to be.

Young woman, young girl, does it really matter? He was sacked for punching a her in the face.

Nothing that happened years later in respect of them resigning him alters that fact.

This thinly veiled attempt to justify it by making out she wasn't a child, not something that was said anyway, is pretty pathetic really.
