He's apologised to the victim, publically or not he's still done it.
Funny how (although found not guilty) Kyle was willing to take a pay off from Ben yet because he was nearly caught and this has happened he's now taking the moral high ground in the press!

NOT EDITED
You've got the wrong end of the stick. The point of this thread was that the HDM have gone over the top in the reporting of this story (which I think virtually everyone would agree with) and that as a consequence Rovers supporters should mount a public show of support for him. I was pointing out that to the national press and tv audience, who don't know about the HDM's coverage of the case, this will just look like condoning what he's done.

Fine I will compromise. I will be there tomorrow with my banner saying: This is a banner to show Ben Cockayne we are supporting him in this time as a result of the media witch hunt but are in no way condoning what he has done.
Ok?

The victin said himself in his first interview, that Ben had apologised since the incident (although he obviously wouldnt accept it) Looking at his interview in todays rag, poor little Kiel appears to have a bit of an 'aggressive' pose doesnt he, whats the finger pointing and pouted mouth all about?

At this time, neither the Club nor Ben’s advisors consider it appropriate for him to make any public comment at all on this matter. He does, however, wish to repeat his expressions of genuine remorse and disappointment for those he has let down through his actions and is firmly committed to work with the club, as outlined above.
Just wanted to bring this back up, didnt want Wormy or Mrs B to miss it.
So, will you apologise yourself, being you got it wrong, again, or will you be too embarrassed?

Nah - regardless of any alleged private mumblings publicly Ben has not apologised to club or victim, - depspite what the club has said on his behalf - and certainly not before the club's statement the other day.
But please find the quotes to prove me wrong - I'm very open minded
