Apparently on a grade F charge for attacking someone's nuts in a tackle AGAIN.
Time to rip up this guy's contract if he gets found guilty, bloody idiot.

Was this incident put on report during the Fev game?

I thought that's what happened when I watched the match but wasn't certain. I know it was put on report.

Yep. Happened in 32nd minute. You can watch it back on BBC iplayer you can clearly see GF hand move between the legs but it doesnt show if there was a grab or squeeze of anything. Giong to be hard to prove either way in my opinion. But as hes been charged it may prove difficult to over turn, especially given the incident in 2019.

After the last time....

[iJohn Kear doesn’t want George Flanagan to change.

The battle-hardened hooker is back in action this weekend after serving his lengthy ban.
Flanagan has not played since last August when he was suspended for attacking an opponent’s testicles.
But the 33-year-old returns to the fray in the Bulls’ Challenge Cup fourth-round clash with amateurs Underbank Rangers.
And Kear said

Well he knows what he's like but this latest incident goes beyond the pale.

String him up by them for 10 matches .

On the pitch he instantly denies the accusation so hopefully if there was contact it was purely accidental. Staggering however if the allegation is correct, I thought he was fortunate to be offered a new contract, after the Toronto incident that if I remember followed quickly from a ban for a sliding tackle (Swinton?).

Suspended for 10 matches and fined £250.

Looks like Berry will have to step up. We can't have an out of position HB and hooker as well and playing Doyle 80 minutes will kill him at this stage of his development.

Think he's very lucky it's only 10 considering he did it so soon after his last ban for the same incident.

I mean does he have a problem or something?

If he was like a really aggressive defender and kept getting pinged for high shots you sort of see why but grabbing another blokes cock and balls?

For someone in his 30s he strikes me as strangely immature. It's a hard enough game without that sort of grubby behaviour and it puts us in a really crap position now with Hallas out. We looked aimless enough against Feath without adding in makeshift or developing hookers in to the mix.

The bloke is a liability and has dropped us right in it.

Id be getting another 9 signed and George wouldnt be playing for me again if i was in charge.

What price a Mattie Wildie return on loan.? Nathan Peats has just arrived and Hood is the skipper so hes 3rd choice at best and wont be getting a game at Leigh.

I imagine Kear is looking at bringing someone in but at the moment it leaves us with Doyle who although very promising is still very inexperienced. Cameron Berry will be backup but I bet Kear wasn't planning on relying on him right now.

I won't dwell on Flanagan but the fact that Kear attended the hearing and it lasted 3 hours suggests he thought Flanagan had a case for defence. All academic now though...

Guess there must have been some medical evidence offrred eg bruising. As looked very inconclusive on the stream.
