When is the hearing for this?

Tuesday 2nd as part of that weeks disciplinary hearings

Came on here expecting someone to have commented on the panel's hearing.

Carney found guilty, banned for 8 games and £300 fine. He's already missed the Widnes game, so 7 games remaining.

Apparently the hearing went on for over 3 hours, with Carney pleading guilty to the charge of verbal abuse based on race/colour, but was contesting the severity of the charge.

Can you make a racist remark in the heat of the battle and not be a racist ? Carney is an impulsive character and it's safe to say he doesn't think about his actions. I do not think he is a racist. He does have some growing up to do, especially on the field. Sadly his misdemeanours on it and off it over shadow the sort of player he can be.

He's just a ticking time bomb for me. Can't keep his emotions in check

I guess that the RFL will be accused of treating racist comments as worse than homophobic ones by some. (Potentially justifiably when a player gets a 6 match ban for homophobic abuse at a ref on national TV.)

For me there is no place for either in life, let alone a professional sport.

He's just admitted to racial abuse of a fellow player, and you're apologising for him by suggesting it was in the heat of battle, impulsive, and he just needs to grow up?

The things we'll forgive players for never ceases to amaze me.

But not on this occasion?

I do find it funny and a bit disturbing that he admits to using a racist comment but says he isn't racist.
If you follow the 'Rugby League Banter Page' on Facebook, you'd probably think Carney is an angel when you read some of the stuff people have put on there.

One person actually put the following on there:-
'I think the world has gone mad! If people stopped getting offended so easily racism would barely exist!'

It's normally white people who come out with rubbish like this. Never been racially abused and have no idea how it feels when you are abused because the colour of your skin.

Carney has serious issues. He is mixed race and he thinks it's okay to abuse a person of color. I think he has identity crises.

He deserves the ban. Racial abuse cannot be accepted

Are you labour MP Diane Abbott ???
