But i cant wait to see him back hopefully chomping at the bit too.
How can you say 2 wrong do not make a right Gruffy and then suggest it matters what the game it takes place in is important.
Re 2 Wrongs. Hypothetical your son / daughter is raped, they kill the rapist. Should your son or daughter be treated like somebody who kills somebody in cold blood for no reason or would you and the Barrister offer mitigation?
If the TV cameras hadnt been there and such a high profile game it wouldnt have made the headlines that it the fact of ity was the showcase game he was always going to get a severe penalty.
Forgetting your annolgy and ive just watched it again (it doesnt get any better looking at it either)if that sort of thing had happened in wigan town centre and the police got involved it would surely have been classed as assult simple as that,he hit a man on the ground and that in any walk of life is utterly unacceptable.
In my view the club acted quickly and desivly and quite possibly saved Flower from further action given that some football players have been prosicuted for similar types of offenses.
Im not going to get into an arguement with anyone,you have your views and I certainly respect them as I hope you'll respect mine I can't wait to see the lad back in action and I really hope he's learned his lesson from that,we all go over the top in life and if we go to far we have to pay the piper his due just as Ben has done.
And in answer to the original question is this season Ben's fault no of course not.
