Quote: BrisbaneRhino "I may be in a minority here, but as with other players who have f*cked up, I always hope they can turn things around. Hopefully if Cockayne moves to a different town he'll get his head together. I understand KR fans who may hold opposite views to mine, but far too often fans seem to delight in lads (often not the brightest people in the world) messing up their lives when it relates to players not from their own clubs.
As well as any criminal punishment, it seems a lot of fans would be happy to see life bans handed out every time a player from another club messes up.'"
I doubt many fans will criticise Ben for his efforts in a Rovers shirt, he always gave 110%, but the game is in the spotlight with its profile on Sky and you can bet your last quid that we will get national publicity when stories are negative (as in drugs cases and Bens incident on CCTV) and as such players have to be a bit savvy when they are away from the club, which Ben had difficulty with. I believe the club acted correctly and I hope if he returns with anew club the fans will applaud him for his services on the field (once) and then let him get on with it, I hope we don't get the 'Charlie' chants though.
As for the second issue of players from other clubs, you are probably right that 'some' fans would wish all ills on opposition players, which is a bit silly, but most on here have been acceptable to the return of Hock and other such players carrying out indiscretions.
