Hock spoiled what had been a pretty decent performance in comparison to many of his team mates today, then he goes and ruins it with an idiotic stunt like that.

Will more than likely pick up a lengthy ban, fully deserved too and I don't think you'll find many Wigan fans who'll argue it either.

Yes, we want our team to win but we won't back our own players who commit fouls such as that.

Gouging is an E-F grade, same as biting. 4-8 or 8+ games.

no place for that in our game. a lengthy ban is deserved sorry to say he has let the club down

Looking forwatd to seeing whether Wigan try to concoct some cock and bull defence for the disciplinary or whether they accept the fault lies with Hock alone.

After the way the club has stood by him he wants a dry bumming.

Haven't seen it yet but if it is as was described to me by someone who has, I'd be tempted to say I don't want the guy in a C&W shirt again.
Not after all that's happened and how the club has stood by him

But I'll wait and see it

Yep, gouging is awful. The same as hair pulling. Hock shouldn't play again this season for that, Lima should get a ban too (for a change) for his treatment to King.

Really can't see how they can come up with any form of defence for that action, like as has been stated earlier he'll have to take any ban he receives without complaint.

Disgraceful if true, I havn't seen it yet.

the guy doesn't belong in the game, he's just not "right in the head" imho

looks much worse in full motion too.

Very bad. 3 matches.

Odemwingie, take it from me, it doesn't make for cheery viewing. There's no defence for it.

Gouging is minimum 4, I think he's likely to cop 6+ given his record. Then perhaps another for the punch.

I didn't see it at the game, but from comments on here it sounds as though he did it. If that is so then he deserves a long ban.

His record? He's done nowt wrong for 2 years.
