Suspended already ... potentially for 6 matches!

The season hasn't even started yet. That must be a record even for him.

Apparently it's for using hurtful language. I don't know what specifically, but presumably Wire will appeal.

He’s a player you’d just avoid because he’s no use to anyone sat in the stand. I feel much the same about any links with Warea Hargreaves coming here. The disciplinary process has been a mess this past couple of years and you’ve no way of lads like that getting away with anything.

If it wasn’t risky enough that somebody like Maguire would pick up bans for foul play, he then throws this in to the mix. If he plays more than 15-20 games this season I’ll be surprised.

And so they should.

Parody I know, but maybe the poor ref can point to the doll and show where those big nasty words hurt him.

It's a joke of a sport when it comes to stuff like this. Big names = more eyes watching on TV, or more spectators in the ground. That means more money for the clubs. Instead we'll sit the big guys in the stands for 6 weeks. Great idea.

James Bentley's got some stiff competition this year.

I thought Grade F was 8+ matches?

You may be right, but surely he's not going to get 8 just for swearing?

Looking at the charge it may be worse than just swearing.

Reports on Warrington Board allude to what was said
It's not swearing

Genuinely I couldn't care less what he said. Wire fans pay good money for season, or individual tickets to watch these guys play & not sit in the stands (injuries aside).

What he's done isn't bad, unless you're an absolute soft ar$e.

There’s a precedent regarding this type of behaviour.

What a ridiculous comment to make when you don`t know exactly what has been said, the charge grade he is up against includes homophobic, racist abuse and you think that is acceptable in anyway? It`s not. Why should someone come to work to be abused?

This whole "come to work" argument is BS.

RL isn't the normal work environment is it. If I had a meeting at work, it isn't in front of 15k & nor am I putting my body on the line for it. My boss doesn't take me up to high hall for sprints at 6am on weekday etc and sack me if I don't do it etc.

Here's the thing again. It actually doesn't matter what he said as it's sport/entertainment. People will happily pay £30 to watch Fury fight and he's said some nasty things etc.

But it does matter what he has said though, as I say racial abuse, homophobic abuse is not acceptable regardless of what you say or regardless of the environment that you are in.

I’m not sure if you have ever played the game but if that is how you played it you will have lumps taken out of you.

I was a gobby player but there are lines you don’t cross, certain words, gouging, spitting etc are not things that go on and if they do away from the pro game then they tend to be dealt with on the field and sometimes off it if they are missed.

In a professional sport that has aligned itself with the Stonewall Charter and the quite obvious equality movement with the 13 seconds prior to a match then we just turn a blind eye to it would be both stupid and hypocritical in equal measure.

Basically you are talking out of your backside.
