And that's acceptable, is it? Jeez.

Sorry, I'm not offended by blokes playing physical sport using industrial language. I've played enough sport (& still do) to know that it goes on and that it generally is a case of what goes on on the pitch is forgotten about, once the game is finished.

If you are, then that's fair enough, I'm personally just bored by the culture of name calling being some sort of hanging offence.

So if he called Sangarre you know what, that'd be ok, would it?

Industrial language is one thing, racially-derived insults something very different.

If McGuire is going around the pitch randomly calling opponents names, then I agree he needs disciplining. However, if, as I suspect, its a group of barely intelligent players taunting and provoking one another in the heat of battle, then I'd be more inclined to tell the individual telling tales to suck it up and grow a pair.

So a group of players who already have a past gripe against an individual are now allowed to basically accuse him again and their evidence will be taken as reliable?

You really couldn't make it up...

Seems that way, Leigh are basically judge, jury and prosecutor. What I don’t get is why it’s got till Tuesday the game was played Friday. If the allegation is true then I would of thought he would of been charged today then ofc it goes to tribunal.

It's certainly a very odd way of running a disciplinary procedure.

If a neutral witness hasn't heard anything definite, then I struggle to see how this case could hold up, Wire, or even McGuire himself, could simply take it to an independent court?

The headline doesn't reflect what the story says. And seriousaboutrl.com isn't really a serious source.

Very true, I think most of their journalism comes from sites like this or the milkman etc etc.
