| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"No such thing as bad publicity is wrong.
A few Twitter messages.
Barrow Police: "When out and about tonight don't act like @WiganWarriorsRL Ben Flower or you will end up #bangedupinbarrow"
QPR midfielder Joey Barton: "Actually feel a bit sorry for Ben Flower. Lance started it with his elbow. Superb first dig from Flower. Second when he's KO'd is out of order."
Former England rugby union player Brian Moore: "Ben Flower - his first punch was retaliation for a cheap shot on him; second one was unforgiveable."
Former Wigan winger Martin Offiah: "Second punch Flower threw was over the top but in Rugby League if you forearm somebody in the face you can't complain if he clocks you one if I had done what Lance did I'd expect a slap. You play with fire you get burnt man. Lance Hohia will never attack Ben Flower again. Not condoning second punch on a prone player. I don't remember trying to take on a prop. You don't attack props and there was some provocation. If by stating that it makes me Satan then so be it."
Former England striker Gary Lineker: "If only other team sports could match the on-field behaviour of football."
Former England striker Michael Owen: "In China but just seen those punches in the Super League Grand Final on Twitter. First one was shocking but the second one was a disgrace. Can you imagine the outcry if a footballer did that? Can sort of understand the first punch after being provoked but to hit someone again when they are already out cold is hard to understand."
It will bring nothing but embarrassment to the sport.'"
Feckin footballers taking the moral high ground? Whoever would have thought of that. Would also suggest they watched the same edited clip that didn't see flower instigating. |

Tbf if there's two footballers who can take the moral high ground it would be Lineker and Owen. |

Not great is it. Paints RL as an outright thuggish game. |

Jim Mills called it indefensible. That's JIM MILLS. |

Probably right about Lineker but Owen is widely reviled in football as being egotistical, selfish and thouroughly unlikeable. |

watched the highlight of incident on BBC sport website. Flower definitely starts it all with a swinging arm to the back of Hohaia's head when he chases the high kick which knocks Hohaia to the ground, to which he reacts to.
Hohaia doesn't appear to block Flowers run...this to me was a ploy by Wigan to rattle Saints only recognised Half back.

But on the flipside of Linekar and Owen you have Joey Barton, a right little skidmark of a 'professional' sportsmen, says it all that he praised the first punch and feels sorry for Flower.
Actually seen a couple of people say they feel sorry for Flower as he'll feel ready bad and it was just a moment of madness.......not seen anyone say they feel sorry/bad for Hohaia. His first final over here in England and it lasted two minutes and even though his side won he probably won't even remember much of tonight's celebrations.

Would imagine that sort of talk could land him in trouble. That might be a pain to his next club, him being banned at the beginning of next season. |
