Now on BBC, Daily Mail, Sportinglife, etc...

Morgan must be pleased with the timing as well.

Most RL players should be banned by their clubs from using social media such as Facebook and twitter until they have retired from the game or undergone at least 3 years full time social awareness and the ability to think and express yourselves training

Shameful, again!



Isn't it?

What do you actualy know about what's involved in achieving a degree in sports science?

I think your denigration of the subject, what's required to obtain a degree for it and the honest efforts that a number of decent young players put in is also shameful!

Ditch him, don't let the sport be brought down by this one creature.

Briscoe's out long term, so I don't expect HKR to sack him. Hopefully Stevo won't lick his ass as per usual on Friday.

It's not facebook or twitters fault. It's that thick racist idiots.

Do we think that Cockayne is intelligent enough to realise that the P word he used is a racist term or did he think it was an abbreviation of the full word?

He's only like any other player no worse, It smacks of racism that you are all singleing him out, could it because he's white?
Rampant and infested!!!!

Hmm, so what did he think c**t was short for then?

I think the biggest joke is that they didn't get rid of him last time around.

Shorpe? I think he was trying to convey the point that this Pakistani gentleman hailed from Shorpe hence shortened to "P**i c**t". Either that or he is a brain dead Normanton knuckle-dragger (of which there are plenty).

I know quite a few players and ex players and none of them are like that.

Just when the guy gets a chance to prove his worth to rovers and gain a regular spot in the team he comes out with this. by now we shouldn't be surprised and the fact twitter/facebook is becoming increasingly more popular amongst sport stars it could become more a regular thing (not just racist comments).
I think it should be down to the clubs to come up with policies regarding social networking and its use. They dont specifically have to ban the players from using it but just make them aware of what it can potentially do. Governance issues around social networking are massive and until now have been ignored. At the end of the day its not only his own image he is denting but the clubs as well so its the clubs responsibility to deal with this.
Could be time for us to find a new full back.

Whilst i have no time for Cokayne this thread could be retitled " not very clever players thread", seems Ryan McGoldrick could be in that bracket. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 156655.stm If we were looking for bright or articulate players John Wells would seem to be the best. Sinfield is quite bright and i always think Eorl Crabtree comes across well.

You don't need to be academically inclined to know that you can't use that sort of language. Presumably it must be in common use in the social circles he keeps which is why he seems to think it's acceptable.

Are there many ethnic minority players at Rovers these days now Gene and Aizue have moved on?
