White man directing abuse at coloured man is a society no no.

Punch an oppo in the face - generally 2 game ban;
"Low grab" generally 4;
Namecalling 6+ !

Sticks & stones and all that. It doesn't matter how bad the name is (eg Wiganner), Bongser would much rather be called it than get a fist in the mush from a big so & so, or have his personal bests squeezed, twisted & pulled!

The world has gone mad because it is listening to a vocal minority.

Anybody heard what was said? The Wire folk are suggesting it was a word I have not heard used since mullets were popular.

From what I can gather, Josh McGuire used a word that rhymed with plastic, but I don't have a clue what Tom has said.

I think it was supposed to rhyme with "thong". McGuire seems to think it is storm in a teacup. All a bit unpleasant, but not sure it is worth losing a quarter of the season for.

From what I believe Amone used 2 words. The first relating to Mcguires lack of vision and another one which is sometimes edited out of a famous Christmas song. Mcguire is a top drawer wind up merchant and has probably spent his entire career copping for and dishing out insults. Unfortunately, there's no way you're getting away with it anymore.

If he’s said it tough.

Alright this is all very unsavoury. One winding the other up and then taking it too far. Does this warrant 6 games plus. Sounds like they need their heads banging together a fine and caution for anything further to result in a ban. Or am I out of sync with the times.

Banging their heads together would only be a 4 match ban.

Sledging used to be part of the game, but you cannot use such wording.

My Mum used to get all kinds of abuse in Yorkshire when i played and she was never there !!. Pity really because if she met them, she would have kicked them up and down the M62 !!

Footballers swear like troopers, rugby players give full respect to the ref in both codes but if they said what they said they are both very silly men !!

Not guilty for Tom
