| To sack him would be harsh, relative to what has happened elsewhere. Cas kept their punishment of Richard Owen in house, when he smacked Santa. They did say though that its severity, reflected how seriously they took the incident. A suspension would have looked a bit hollow in the off season. As indeed would one for Jason Crookes while both Lineham and Briscoe were fit. Events have conspired to flip that and now the absence of a suspension looks bad. Giving him a suspension if he hadn't initially intended to, to appear strong, would actually be weak - and cutting his nose off. AP's quotes read like a slightly panicked and embarrassed attempt to bluff his way through an unfortunate set of circumstances, to me. As those circumstances were not of his making, I have some sympathy - tricky situation.

I don't think it's a case of defending him. I think it's a case of trying to treat the situation as an individual case. If it was a rovers player we would be on your forum stirring it with the biggest spoon possible but if we took a step back and took the fact he was a rovers player out of it then we would come to a sensible and reasoned conclusion....just maybe not publicly ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

I don't think anyone on here is defending him. Some are saying he should be sacked, some are saying he shouldn't, but no-one is defending him.
What will you say when it next happens to a Rovers player (and it will)?

Perhaps if you took your Dobbins glasses off and actually read what people are saying, you would see that most people are actually condemning him for what happened, rather than defending him.

And would you have started a thread on the Rovers forum comparing it to a Hull player being sin-binned in a derby?
Thought not.

| Not condoning Crookes behaviour but I once witnessed a young drunken woman screaming and verbally abusing a guy in a pub and she then glassed him on the face, to which he responded by throwing his hands up to defend himself. He caught her in the face and guess who got arrested? More to this maybe?
