then i retract my statement

he should be fined 2 weeks salary (which one though?



)

IF it is disciplinary, no confirmation from anywhere yet.

Wasn't cookie's wrist injury self inflicted?

When he was with us?

No, he wasn't a such a w@nker when he was with us

Can we at least keep one thread were we dont end up talking about those across the darkside?

If Tansey has breached the club's discipline code then they are quite right to punish him. Hopefully it will send a stern message to the squad.

Our attacking threat on Friday looks even weaker now though. Looks like the usual low scoring boreathon that we usually get at home to Harlequins.

What's more Tansey is in my fantasy league team.

He'll be back next week!!

Be nice if we knew why he was missing though, Airlie night was a perfect opportunity to let people know. Seems like all the good work in the communications department is going by the wayside again.

Rule is not on every week, they alternate with players. I don't think it's Clarky's place to discuss individual players' potential disciplinaries on the radio, let alone get the likes of Reece Lyne to comment on it. I agree the club could make a statement that there's an internal disciplinary breach but don't think it's appropriate to discuss it on a radio show about the club's young players personally.

No discussion on the coming game at all though Mrs B. We have a website which they can put info up on but all we get is a snippet of info which then leads to rumours etc. It could even have a detrimental affect on the crowd on friday with those who pay on the night for games.

Totally agree. A simple statement on the website will suffice.

Indeed.

The club put a brief statement on the website last year when Lee and Burnett were suspended so it will be interesting to see if anything appears tomorrow.

Whyt should they put anything on the website? Do the council put details of all of their staff who have been disciplined in the public domain? It's between employer and employee

They set a precedent last season though regarding Lee and Burnett.

Not quite the same though, is it? A professional sporting team are more newsworthy than local government staff and there is bound to be speculation in the media regarding players' abscence.

Well course he will, a one week suspension will mean he misses one week

Local government or local sports player, it makes no difference to the staff members right to confidentiality.

Why are we entitled to know?

If thats the case i want a statement on the website detailing the pay of each director and exactly how they have been paid off

I never actually said we were, but as the club did last season for the Lee/Burnett incident I don't see why the club cannot just make a simple statement. If Tansey has breached the club code of conduct that's all they need to say, no details are required, just a statement then we all know and Agar won't be pilloried for dropping a player when in fact the player is at fault.

We have no rights to know why. Simple.
He's dropped for a reason, and a valid one I am sure of.

Let's forget about him and concentrate on the game we've got coming up.

Never did when the Council disciplined me anyway!

On certian cases, yes they have.

Indeed, still think we've got enough. Last week was poor but I'm willing to give them a chance to redeem themselves, especially this early in the season.

Looking at the Quins squad i wouldnt be worrying too much. They only have one recognised half back and a handful of in-experienced kids thrown in due to their injury crisis.
I would be amazed if they beat you at the KC.
