6 months on half pay?

Seems very harsh to me.

Looking forward to getting him back in the team. Cracking talent.

Way OTT but completely in tune with the sack cloth and ashes attitude that must be displayed in front of the pitchfork brigade these days.

Did the club run this by you first? I hope so, hopefully you won't be still recycling the entire episode in another 6 months. I come on here every now and then, and you always seem to bang on about the same crap. It's like rl fans version of the Dave channel, nearly as annoying as Clarkson reruns.

Personally think 50% is a little OTT. He's already had a big ban in terms of matches.

Anyway time to move on now and hopefully he comes back fully recharged and looking to make it up to his teammates and fans in the lead up to and in the playoffs (Without getting too emotional).

Correct JJ. He's already been banned for 6 months thus losing any win bonuses. There is no guarantee that he'll get back in the team in any case, thus losing further bonuses, as others may grab their own opportunity in Ben's absence. He's been punished enough.

I hope he has a decent trade union because losing half your salary for 3 months is a hell of a lot. These guys aren't on that much money anyway to start with. They are not professional footballers.

He's being punished twice for the one 'crime'. I'm afraid this is simply unfair.

Don't think it's inappropriate at all.
Given it made news on the other side of the planet and got everyone talking about league in the UK for all the wrong reasons he's lucky it wasn't summary dismissal.

He seems to be genuinely contrite & recognises the fault so he should be welcomed back with a line drawn under it all. Any lesser player or anyone with less of a clean record would have been turfed out quicker than a gnat's fart.

He now needs support, but no doubt all the various Mesdames Defarge (esp those with long yellow necks) will rattle on for another while yet.

The fact that it made news has got absolutely nothing to do with justice. So it's 'Trial by Media' now is it? Let's just hand over the disciplinary code to Rupert Murdoch and have done with it.
