ok, lets reproduce the context word for word

now remember there is no further context in which Clarke puts his statement, this is the beginning of the paragraph, the only paragraph, in which Clarke discusses Mcguires injury with simply the name and affliction changed, the principle and context and words are exactly the same.

are you really arguing that the statement Gregory's illness could well act as a lesson to any other player watching that it doesn't pay to cheat.Perhaps the rugby Gods have punished him for his unsportsmanlike play.

isnt offensive?

Or are you just trolling because Keith Swiftcorn told you to

I did use the what clarke said, i simply changed the name and the afflication, i used it word for word.

Unless of course you are saying it was the context (and not the word perhaps) of a players career threatening injury which removed the offence? Because there is no other context which Clarke brings up. If not maybe you could indulge me and explain what other context Clarke is using and where he explains this?

But by your avoidence i think we can accept that you do find the statement offensive (like any normal person would)

And now I know why Leeds are nicknamed Whinos.

Stop crying over something who has nothing to do with the Wigan club has said.

I'd hate to see how you'd react if our head coach accused one of your players of intentionally injuring a player then another one of our players spouted more bull about unsportsman like behaviour.

Bring on Saturday...

No, im clearly not. Only an idiot would think I was, I am saying quite clearly that that statement would be idiotic and offensive, the same as it was about Mcguire
no, he didnt, whilst Mcguires injury correllated with him breaking the rules it would be nonsensical to suggest it was caused by it. It was caused by chance. The same as Gregory. Neither were responsible for it and it is offensive to say so.

obviously you are now seeing your own hypocrisy and you dont like it. I dont for one minute believe the statement i put. But i put it to highlight that you would find the same statement applied to a different subject matter very very offensive (which you did) not to offend you to but to hopefully show why Mcguire (not me, not any of the fans on this board nor anybody else) didnt deserve his injury, and certainly didnt deserve Clarkes publicly made statement, which YOU defended.

is that where you draw the line? somewhere between career threatening and life-threatening.

maybe it will make you think again when you say someones unfortunate circumstances are deserved or down to Karma, because when it applies to one person it applies to us all. Maybe now you can see why others found the comments abotu Mcguire insensitive and 'low'. The guy has a serious career-threatening injury its no small matter.

If karma applies to Mcguire it applies to all of us.

Yes you are moron. You're using his name, and his illness to try and score points. You're using Gregory's illness in DIRECT COMPARISON to the Clarke-Mcguire statement. The context doesn't matter - the words are there for all to read. Christ you're stupid.

Understand this
Shut up prick.

McGuire's injury was caused by chance?? You're so full of sht you're licking yesterday's lunch. It's clear for the whole world to see how he got injured, if you're too fcking stupid to see it and keep waffling crap about 'chance', you're just too stupid, end of story. He grabbed Carmont, and AS A RESULT clipped his foot, then AS A RESULT he was off balance, and AS A RESULT his knee buckled.

Ok, if it was 'chance', he increased the chance of screwing up his knee to 100% when he grabbed Carmont and clipped his heel. The plain, simple, obvious truth is no, he didn't deserve it, but he caused it.

Now just get lost.

Now THAT's karma!!!

Probably the most disgusting method I have seen on these boards to try and win an argument.

You vile cretin

I don't find the statement offensive because I can read without a pitchfork in my hand and hillybilly music playing in the background.

It's pretty obvious to anyone that you need to read the whole thing to appreciate the context and meaning. Something you seem incapable of, to the extent you need to drop what happened to a completely unrelated person into the McGuire context. Mental.
