The guy is a complete buffoon, when he got banned for the cocaine i was ecstatic, no more Hock at Wigan, then they stupidly gave him a big shinny new contract, i was infuriated, i stated straight away he would be nothing but trouble and be a disrupted force within the team, it wasn't long before i was right, the day he finally left Wigan i was that happy i had a little party for myself with cup cakes, fizzy lemonade and salmon sarnies, it is a shame that Koukash thought he would be a big crowd pleaser and brought him to your club when he could have used the money better elsewhere, get rid and let him finish his career at Doncaster
or some other lower league club

You didn't want him given a leg up?

I think this is far too clever for me, I just don't get the pun.

Hock baiting seems to have moved from the field of play to twitter now, it is great watching from the outside, as it's like a random generator as to what he will do next.

Great entertainment factor, but only if he's not in your side.

People should be a little more responsible though. Constant bombardment of someone on social media is relatively new but the effects can be very random indeed. Ranging from nothing through to suicide, and everything in between. We've had a big push to recognise mental health issues in RL after some pretty bad happenings. I'm not sure the world of 'Bantz' has come to terms with exercising restraint when required. While Gaz is his own worst enemy sometimes, the bombardment he gets is not justified in any way on social media. He's had people telling him he should 'off himself' like his best mate Newton in the past. That's just not acceptable, and while I think he is stupid rising to the bait, it must be really difficult under certain circumstances.

Twitter leaves me feeling uncomfortable at how easy it is to get under someones skin. It's not good. Why provoke, undermine, and offend someone for no other reason than 'for a laugh'?

Pointless, and can only lead to negative outcomes.

Shinny. Leg. Not sure it really worked to be honest.

Agree with The Butcher here. The anonymity and lack of real world comeback afforded by the internet lets people act like proper bellends. I've done it myself. Twitter in particular, whilst brilliant in many ways, is really bad for knee-jerk bandwagon jumping. Hock would be far better off if he kept his account private - having it public is inevitably going to be a recipe for disaster, sadly.

3 match + £300 fine per charge. Returns vs Wigan in RD9.

6 game ban

Not unexpected. Harris now has to plan without him.
Time to cancel the contract?

The lad needs enrolling on an anger management course. He runs hard and he's got a talent for slipping out the odd ball in the tackle but he's let the club down too many times now.

The trouble is it's not anger or frustration, just dirty play.

Fair point he doesn't actually seem angry when he makes these indiscretions. More like a cold blooded assassin.
