I disagree entirely. Utterly no place for it is any professional sport. Grade F all the way and should carry a very lengthy ban. If he is guilty of deliberately and aggressively spitting at somebody, I have no sympathy. Disgusting.

I must say I think spitting is absolutely disgusting, really vulgar. When I see someone doing it in the street I just feel sick and think the person doing it is a complete scumbag. Bad enough spitting in the street but at someone, inexcusable. Lengthy ban needed.

If found guilty then he should be given a major bollocking by the club. Any similar incidents and he should be shown the door.

No place in sport for spitting, absolutely vile.

He's playing tonight in Toronto

league one disciplinaries are a week after Superleagues' (god knows why)

Flat pass from Miloudi puts Jordan Lane over for a try

Unfortunately, spitting in public and on sports fields has become the the norm, very similar to swearing. Almost every footballer and rugby player of both codes, for some reason or other, constantly spit????
I'm clueless as to why??? Give him the benefit of the doubt but grade F, you're having a laugh. Rob Burrow assaulted Jake Connor with his head and got grade B, if that had happened on the street, he'd have faired a lot worse than if he'd spat at him

Isn't it a part of their vocabulary?

Sorry dont agree with the exercise thing.Its a habit not a nessessity

I do it when I have to, and usually it's at the start of a run when I'm struggling to clear my throat despite drinking water. I ran a half marathon yesterday and didn't do it once so it's not a habit, however it is sometimes necessity.

Karen,the fact that you have said its usually at the start of a run is where it becomes your habit.Its something you have to control,that is if you want to.
You dont see vocalists coming on stage to sing and have to clear their throat by spitting

Vocalists shouldn't be out of breath meaning they cannot swallow.

Spitting at someone is pretty gross but to class it the same as racial abuse is a joke

I like a crafty phleg now and again.
Beats the blocking of one nostril whilst snorting out the other one which seems the modern fad nowadays.
