Ben Flower v 2015 standard!

Post by cpwigan »

Off the ball/late/attack to the face of an opponent/far more likely to lead to several weeks missing owing to broken jaw /cheekbone etc and 1 match with EGP :lol:

P.S Not sure how but keep it clean or the thread will be locked for some arbitrary reason :roll:

Well actually it is consistent though

if you think of LH punishment for his part in the incident wasnt it 1 match bad and he took BF off the ball with direct contact to head

so in a way that is a consistent ruling
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

What LH did was far far less punishable than what Green did.

WGAF now he's back soon and hopefully he's learnt his lesson, even he admits he was completely in the wrong so what don't you understand about the situation. Stop making excuses for him because no one is asking you to

What you don't seem to understand is no one has said what he did wasn't wrong and also nobody has made excuses for the 2nd punch, just that there are mitigating circumstances meaning he wasn't the only one in the wrong!!

No one is asking you to comment on the thread but you do!!

Think you need to re-read this forum because certain people have indeed tried to justify his action to a point that he was in the right to throw the second punch.

What I don't seem to understand is why you always jump to defend cp, is it a second account or are you his mum?

I think you need to read the forum properly because CP has never tried to justify the second punch only that it wasn't as forceful as some other posters make out!!

I am not defending CP and have disagreed with him on many things in the past, but I agree with him on this topic!!

No his Dad actually!!
