hey rogues, i live down in the black country, tividale about 2 miles from wba fc, an there centre forward bednar, was caught red handed with his bird by the cops taken n selling cocaine 3mnts ago, an is now playing again after a three month ban! seems the rules in other sports arn,t as hard on offenders as rl . how the other half live. all wrong in my opinion, cant wait for fri nite, take care.

well that's ok then!

He was caught buying cocaine. This is different than taking cocaine. He was banned by his club, not the anti drugs body like Hock, as they are only interested in people who take it. I dont agree with this mind, but ce la vie.

The ITF wanted the mandatory 2 year ban, but the evidence backed up his claim which is why his suspension was lifted.

But don't you think it's reasonable that people should disagree with your comments about IL getting 'something wrong' when none of us actually know anything?

I understand that you want to know what's going on. But all the club is really guilty of under this circumstance is not telling you anything. And this isn't necessarily wrong. They may have perfectly good reasons.

Or IL has already mislead the fans depending on how you look at it, he said in the WEP "Brian would be here to see the fruition of his work (or similar) he also said on GMR that "he wanted Brian to stay" then it turns out he had already offered his job to Kearney. If that isnt making a total mess of it thus getting "something wrong" then I dont know what is.

Unless a prop is announced for next season our recruitment is also wrong.

But again, I understand that IL can do no wrong and clearly anyone posting an opposite view is clearly "anti IL, not a real fan and trying to drive him out".

He told Higham that a last good year would get him a new contract he had a good tear but half way through found out he wasnt be retained when he found out Riddell had signed.

Il is pretty unprofessional at times I feel (opinion)

Well to be fair Mickey didnt have a good season at Wigan ever. Why should he get a new contract? Would you have given Dennis Moran a contract?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

There's no reason to have a tantrum. People are allowed to disgree.

But if you're now going back to the Kearney thing as proof of what you say, then I think you're grabbing at straws given that I thought we were discussing the current lack of announcement. In fact, it could be argued that the Kearney breach of confidence is a key reason WHY there is no current information flow - because people can't be trusted to keep negotiations to themselves.

Anyway, I'm not sure that avoiding hurting Brian Noble's feelings is, or should be, high on Wigan's agenda. Noble has applied for other jobs while he's been with us - did he do wrong too? I don't think it's an issue, personally, but by your argument, the answer must be yes. I'd also say that he's not got what it takes to move the team forward from this position, which is really the most important thing of all. In that respect, IL trying to get someone in who's a lot more promising - like Kearney - is not doing wrong, but doing right.

All the other stuff about what the chairman said re. his relationship with Noble, and vice versa, is fluff. All that really matters is moving Wigan forward. That isn't happening with Brian Noble as head coach.

Went to the world cup in his last year?...wasnt a bad year at all if I remember
