Re the Flower incident ,wasn't Hohaia having a go at Flower a few minutes previously ?

Brain fart.

Doesn’t do the fella any favours really as it was a dumb brain fart to say the least.

The punch itself was powder puff which might be his saving grace when up before the beak.

And when does he go up before the beak

Not sure but we tend to find out around 8pm

always surprises me how late these get looked at in the day

They have a meal & a few beers first.

Only after egging Eamonn McManus's windows.

May be later this one, will be ages before Wellens stops crying.

I'm not biting.

One difference I would say is that Dudson is a distinctly average player when not punching and getting sent off. When Boyd transgressed he at least left a mark. Ask Brohman.

Different era different rules SC. Apparently sending malnourished kids up chimneys is now frowned upon.

Damn I better get them down, how much do the log burners cost.

5 games for Gil. Probably lucky.

Well tariff 4-6 so he is lucky, most people in the beginning expecting double figures.

Heard that Johnstone offered evidence in Dudson's support (presumably via tinternet). Guess that must have gone in his favour.

Perhaps Johnstone had backed up a practical demonstration Dudson was giving him ,carrying on from a discussion in a previous tackle.
