Never realised it was his only ever red card. That surely should go in his favour.

Reckon that puts to bed the theory that this is just a smokescreen exercise.

It was only the [isleepwalkers[/i who were suggesting otherwise Kosh.

He plays for Hull FC you know!

What are you talking about - "smokescreen exercise"? Who mentioned one of those?

I said it was a counter-attack. I.e. Hull are alluding pointedly to Long's (genuine) concussion and are emphasising the fact that it was caused seconds before his strike by an unpunished head-high blow. I presume that they are doing this to force the committee to look at the severity of the previous incident and thereby give Long a case for mitigating circumstances. Those being a) the concussion affecting his judgement when he went into the tackle and b) the injustice and inconsistency once again of the idiot Child.

A logical strategy and a just one imo. But please, don't let that stop you jumping pompously down people's throats any more. It's hardly your inaugural attempt, is it?

Illness????

Head injury induced.

Concussion. See previous page, but be careful how you comment on it

Calm down - it wasn't aimed at you. Not sure why you'd think it was TBH.

Take a look through the various threads and you'll see some of the usual suspects using that exact phrase.

Or possibly the truth.

I consider myself pretty cynical but at times the level on here beggars belief.
