Here we have it, although we knew they were not all like the others, but a Hull fan with common sense and an understanding on the game.

I think most of us knew he wasn't a Peter Tatchell but thanks for confirming it!


Classy though to use it as a means to attack a player.

I knew his standards had slipped over the year but he's reached desperation levels now when he's had to resort to going over to the Hull board to chum up with them, of all people, about the lack of class in some RL supporters.

He might as well go the whole hog as the barrel has been fully scraped and start praising the 'enthusiasm' of Widnes fans at the CC Semi.

Ar[is[/ieholes, he's a fawning idiot

Journalists don't simply report news, they try & create news. That is what they did with this instance. Hope this helps.

Hardaker did nothing more than call Mark Flanagan a plucking flick, but look at what it became thanks to journalists, the morons at the RFL & the social media lynch mob.

Zak Hardaker has had to face all that having done absolutely nothing wrong. How is that in any way right? The search for a victim certainly found one.

Is Mark Flanagan a fawning prick too? He has no problem with Hardaker calling him a plucking flick.

I wonder how all these self righteous idiots now feel on the Andrew Gale issue?

Not a game that gives heat of the moment emotions. Just a simple reaction to another, and now terming a word the cricket board use themselves into a racist comment.

Of course this was direct at someone who applies to that, so in those terms worse than the Hardaker one. But shows how ridiculous governing bodies have become, with this politically correct nonsense.

Wasn't aware of this indecent but just read up on it... sounds like what we used to call "banter". How calling someone a "Kolpack f*cker" can be construed as racist escapes me.

Cue comments from Kolpak Stiff and Homer Phobe, and possible Chris Chan

I find the relative amounts of coverage equally bizarre. Andrew Gale was a name I had never heard of before this morning. And I watch all the news & sports bulletins across many channels.

Is Leeds CF&A a breeding ground for bad boys?

Do you watch them on mute? He just captained Yorkshire to the County Championship!

Cricket is played in long pants and as such does not qualify as a bona fide sport

Why have you stopped adding a no really?

I think part of the issue was the preceding phrase:

Prince told gale "f**k off back to cover point"
Gale replied: "Well you can f*** off back to your own country you Kolpak f*****.”

All the same its clearly a reference to the fact that Prince shouldn't be allowed to play for lancs as they already have a foreign player and he only gets in (taking a place from a young English kid) due to being a kolpak.

Bloody stupid case for the ECB to have pushed on with...they're doing a good job of making the RFL look good

What's a kolpak, am I missing something

Quote ="rollin thunder"What's a kolpak, am I missing something'" A foreign player who isn't allowed to be counted as a foreign player due to a court ruling... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolpak_ruling

Quote ="Omar Little"A foreign player who isn't allowed to be counted as a foreign player due to a court ruling... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolpak_ruling'" So why is that offensive.

Calling someone a Kolpack when they are is very similar to calling someone gay when they are.
Maybe get another ten more pages out of this thread now.

I do hope the ICC will be banning any Australian cricketers who refer to any English cricketers as Pommy's then.

If someone called James Child a bent barstweward in realtion to his performances would it be homophobic?

Hopefully young Hardaker can now focus on his game instead of the endless speculation and coverage of him callling Mark Flanagan a plucking flick.

Beware the lip readers.

Is this still going? Jeez

We thought we'd keep it going in anticipation of the next faux outraged lip-reading moron to spot something that Hardaker didn't say. It saves time trying to find this thread in a couple of weeks when the Sky cameras catch young Zak mouthing "fancy a beer" to Josh Charnley.

I'd have thought you'd have got bored with the self-pity and "everyone is out to get Leeds" now

Nope. Just getting our petition ready to ensure Micky Higham is now brought to justice over his disgraceful language to Thaler today.
