My point is, why do sky constantly feel the need to show the coaches sat in the stands? The same can be said of the incessant replays of every incident, regardless of how trivial.

I thought that's exactly what Freedom of speech was.
I appreciate a certain level of tact is necessary, but that should be up to the individual, not the authorities.

Don't see what the problem is really. Wane's reactions are always pretty entertaining.

Yep, Stevo has come out with a few amusing comments about them this season.
His "I thought he was going to break out singing I'm the king of the swingers" comment a few weeks ago being my personal favourite

There is no such thing as Freedom of Speech, anywhere. Every Government restricts speech to some degree.

So do refs.

i agree with this!
it's so frustrating when you want to watch the next play, say after a big hit or bit of biff but instead we get a replay of the aforementioned incident, and i don't want to see a coach's reaction to every dropped ball or mistake.

I like to see repeated shots of Wane just to reinforce my own prejudices.

Made me chuckle...

So if I were to find out all of your personal details, because you think I should have the right to a complete freedom of speech, I can just post it all online? Bank details, pin number, the lot?

The data protection act stops that freedom of speech. And a bloody good job.

There are lots of laws that prevent people from being allowed to just day what they like. And to be honest it's a bloody good job. You're not allowed to go around calling people what you like or share information. It can be bloody dangerous!

I prefer the American system. Over here it's too easy for the powerful to use freedom of speech legislation to bludgeon the powerless.

To be fair to Wane, all coaches probley shout abuse about refs whilst sat in the stands. He just had to be more careful as he was on Sky Sports. Bit unfair if he got into trouble or even fined. He should just be reminded to be more careful on the televised games as viewers and people could be offended.

I love how this thread is about the name calling that Wane made during the game, either commenting on the indication of no try which was unanimously overturned by the video refs (you could argue that it would be an indication of bias) or sexuality (which would be somewhat out of context, but don't let that get in the way of Wigan bashing). And yet, it's perfectly find to make a personal insult of "ape" when referring to Wane, shame that it's a factual point you bunch of monkeys.

Oh noes, I used the word monkey which could be taken in a racist manner. I guess that's a reflection on your prejudice and use of words rather than mine, I was thinking of phylogenetic distances.

Doesn't really work like that, does it? Just because some people don't get caught doing things they shouldn't be doing doesn't make it ok. Speed cameras would be pointless then.

I'm not saying Wane was right to say what he did I think it's totally wrong but it wasn't said directly at him, and not in an offical press conference so he shouldn't be punished and we probley won't hear nothing about it. We hear players swearing all the time.
