Read my post you jumped on again, I said could, not would. Bullying comes in many forms in the workplace and it's often down to how the incident(s) make the recipient feel even if the perpetrator wasn't being vindictive. Employment law is a minefield heavily weighted (it seems to me) in favour of the employee.

I never said that radford's comments have ever amounted to bullying, merely that public criticism of a player could be classed as bullying - a general comment, not one aimed at anything radford has ever said. I doubt a pro sportsman would ever take such action anyway as their career would be over

When one poster on a public internet forum has a difference of opinion to others and everyone jumps in to "have a go" because they feel safe in the "crowd". Wouldn't happen on here of course

nope, I wasn't bullied, I was a big lad for my age up until last year at high school, played in the rugby team until I fell out with the sports master (a certain ex HKR winger whom was a of epic proportions) and have always being able to stick up for myself. What I have done throughout my life is stick up for those that didn't deserve the kind of shat that often gets directed at them in varying ways on the back of doing nothing wrong.
What the senior players do or don't do doesn't stop Radford from being a bully and directly have an effect. There's no guarantee that a senior player would say anything, why would they feel the need to intervene, have you asked them specifically if they have anyway? do you know if they've even recognised it themselves?

I based my opinion not just on that radio interview but on a fair few things he's said and the way certain scenarios have panned out with players. If you don't want to see it that's fine it's not a problem, however Radford IS a problem with regard to how the team performs as well as individuals and how they are treated/respected...think about it and try to look at certain instances where it's so obvious what's going on!

You went to bransholme & that teacher was jed Dunn.

correct, I respected the fact he was a professional RL player that had played at a very high level(England rep honours IIRC) so was obviously a decent larker, I thought it fantastic that we had an actual RL player as one of our PE masters.

But he was a bully, his attitude as a teacher stunk and he was up his own arris. He certainly reacted badly to having it 'up him' if you know what I mean.

I went to that school it was called Winifred holtby by then though, he was great if you played rugby but awful to some, I remember he used to make people swim in their outdoor PE kits! Couldn't get away with it nowadays.

We were speaking specifically about Radford

So he treats his staff " a la Radders". Kill 'em with kindness!!

Haha,he better prepare himself for a visit from his players solicitors as he has had the audacity to call their 2nd half performance against us PATHETIC,he's nothing but a bully.

Yeah, that's the only form of bullying that exists. I never said radford was a bully BTW
