Manslaughter not murder but I get your point. For it to be murder the intention to kill would have to have been there, in this case that would be hard to prove. I don't think they intended to kill him but easily could have - why the leniency I have no idea.

For once Cecil I think your a bit off - Joey Barton has done exactly what this lad has done not once but twice and done some time but still gets one lucrative contract after another. Football is as corrupt as RL in this respect, money breeds it. You can add Lee Bowyer to that list and there have been plenty of others.

how can hull kr not get rid of cockayne after that !!!!!! the lad from castleford has got the sack but cockayne was by far the most violent in the attack

Didn't he stab someone?

I think the point in the article IIRC was that if it was football, the player would be dropped pending a court case, which I'm positive Gerrard still has.

I understand the lad who has been sacked has played only one game in the reserve grade all season and he's 20 years old, evidence to suggest the kid was not gonna make the grade so they conveniently used this opportunity to sack him...

This aint america were the victims get there say, the judge as many of them do with pro sports players BEND the sentence . WRONG WRONg WROng WRong Wrong and WRONG .,

But I think this case was different from the very fact that there was cctv evidence and therefore a stronger case than presumably most other cases before the courts.

Whilst you just cynically used that in a pathetic attempt to hide your own clubs total lack of moral courage - that is poor.

I wouldn't have a problem if ALL convicted criminals in the professional game were dealt with but they haven't been so I don't see why my club should be singled out.

Not the case at all - you suggested Cas wouldn't have done the same had he been a regular first teamer. How do you know this and how is that an excuse for HKR not doing something about Cockayne. A player as it happens with a long history of being trouble - always comes across as a bit of a cheeky chap who doesn't mean any harm - aren't they always the worst. Come on Zod you know better.

cant see it being honest i think big brother is watchin on most street fights like this

could understand your point if we were talking about a david beckham or a tiger woods but we talking about ben cockayne.

Just lucky they werent on a motorbike doing 120 mph or they would both have got six month sentences





Work that one out then
