I think the point in the article IIRC was that if it was football, the player would be dropped pending a court case, which I'm positive Gerrard still has.

I understand the lad who has been sacked has played only one game in the reserve grade all season and he's 20 years old, evidence to suggest the kid was not gonna make the grade so they conveniently used this opportunity to sack him...

But I think this case was different from the very fact that there was cctv evidence and therefore a stronger case than presumably most other cases before the courts.

Whilst you just cynically used that in a pathetic attempt to hide your own clubs total lack of moral courage - that is poor.

I wouldn't have a problem if ALL convicted criminals in the professional game were dealt with but they haven't been so I don't see why my club should be singled out.

Not the case at all - you suggested Cas wouldn't have done the same had he been a regular first teamer. How do you know this and how is that an excuse for HKR not doing something about Cockayne. A player as it happens with a long history of being trouble - always comes across as a bit of a cheeky chap who doesn't mean any harm - aren't they always the worst. Come on Zod you know better.
