no player from Cas has ever done the same, identical things don't happen in Nottingham each and every week, I'm sure. The lace market is all guitars and hymns of a friday evening...
Can’t say I remember any other players calling people sluts and whores, nope. Nor have I heard anyone doing the same in Nottingham (though doubtless it does happen). Of course unpleasantness happens. But just because it happens, doesn’t mean it should be condoned. I wouldn’t support any player at Cas who did the same thing.

So why are you repeating the same guff? No one on here has condoned Kellys actions far from it but the baying mob (you being one) wanting him strung from the highest lamppost for drunkenly spouting off is over the top.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I've witnessed worse, far worse, IN the Palace of Westminster, from elected members (and believe me, some really are "members"), he should get a telling off. Had it been any other player nobody would care. Vile KR fans perpetuating a non story.

Didn’t realise I was to be honest. Might have posted roughly the same post twice thinking it was on the VT - many apologies. I’m not in the ‘baying mob’ I don’t think. If he was my employee, he’d be dismissed. Not doing so would send out completely the wrong message to female workers in my opinion. However, there are other options I suppose that will show that the club doesn’t condone the behaviour but allow them to keep his undoubted on-field talents. As a wider point, I think clubs have too much of a vested interest in not addressing player misconduct. From Hull’s perspective, they aren’t going to dismiss him as we all know he’d simply sign elsewhere. That’s why the NRL introduced an independent integrity unit to deal with such matters.

dismissed, on what grounds. He has a PRIVATE life, no COMPLAINT was made no ARREST or CAUTION.
Kelly abuses women, and it's nothing new we haven't seen before and blown out of proportions.
Sound priorities there fella.
FWIW him been hammered doesn't bother to me, in high pressure environments people need to let off steam. But you can't go round insulting strangers regardless of whether you are pro athlete or not. ( hence so many people getting banned off social media nowadays)
To brush it off as KR trouble making is laughable and those not condeming this action and subsequent consequences are really putting there head in the sand on this. If this happened say in leeds on a night out instead of Hull i feel there would be eternal condemnation, but the supposed KR fan involvement is making people have black and white blinkers and its not a good look.

If he was your employee and you dismissed him for doing something in his own time you will find yourself in court for unfair dismissal.
