The 'death threats' aren't serious, just dumb kids posting 'oh he's a dead man' and 'his final days are approaching' then panicking and deleting their twitter accounts once they hear the Police are investigating.

How do you know?

It's clearly not an excuse.

So they have a previously clean record?

They didn't. I'm stating a FACT!

I'm glad it's up to the police and CPS to look into this and not you.

You should read the state of mind website before calling for people to be hung drawn and quartered.

I must be missing something?

Which side are you defending here?

I haven't asked for anyone - Not Ben Flower & Not the ones on the internet sending him death threats - to be hung drawn & Quartered so why do you keep repeating this?

So "Who" has a previous clean record? I don't know what you mean? I'm stating that whoever these people are that have sent death threats to Ben Flower, Did they send them to those other players as well?
You stated that it was Ben Flower that started it which implies that's the reason they started the death threats?
If it was then I am merely pointing out that if they are so outraged then these internet people should be sending death threats to lots of sporting people who they are outraged by? Which is clearly ludicrous and clearly they are in the wrong no matter what ben Flower did or didn't start.

Youre glad its the police and CPS looking into this - Looking into what? Ben Flower or the Internet Death threats?
Because either way - so am I - But then again show me anywhere were I have stated whether either party should be punished?

My original point was that you had made an excuse for the internet death threats by saying Ben Flower "Started it".
You don't see that as an excuse I do.

The rest of your posts I just can't understand which side your on and what point your trying to make?

I'm not defending the crackpots that issued death threats but Ben Flower did instigate it.

Really? Did he issue death threats and others responded in-kind?

I make a point of never replying to one of "You know Who's posts" as best I can so I'll let you know.
He Doesnt.

I'm also not sure what certain people mean by it would be daft if these people don't get in to trouble when it was Ben Flower who "Started it" & Ben Flower did the crime and isn't doing the time?

I can only assume said person thinks that 6months - 13 matches isn't enough and only Jail time etc. will do?

Maybe Ben Flower should now be punished for inciting people to write death threats to him now?
Maybe we should hand him over to Islamic State and let them decide what punishment he deserves?

This prick, from Salford, is the main culprit: @scholzac. Not that he appears to be a Salford fan, more United. Just a scrote with a big mouth. So blindingly stupid he hasn't deleted his account.

I don't understand why anyone has a twitter/facebook account but especially people with the slightest ounce of fame. It must be exhausting letting utter buffoons constantly into your life and a strain on your mental health. I hope for Ben's his sake he comes off the stupid thing as he'll no doubt be targetted by clowns forever more.

RLBandit are you a Wigan fan by any chance? Not having a go because I don't have anything against Wigan but there's does seem to be a lot of club bias in your posts.

Yes. My beliefs are that:

a) Ben Flower committed a very bad act that deserves a serious punishment.
b) He got a fairly serious punishment. I'd also have been fine with twice the length of ban.
c) He didn't knowingly 'walk over' and punch a man he knew to be unconscious.
d) Wigan's disciplinary record, especially when compared to other clubs, doesn't support the thesis that their coach is some kind of animal bent on dirty play.
e) I, and the Wigan players understand that fiery talk in the dressing room is not a literal instruction to punch people unconscious.

If you think that one or all of those views could only be held by someone biased due to being a Wigan fan, then yes, I'm biased.

He's a young lad that made a mistake. Do you know he can cope mentally with you outing him and splashing his details everywhere? I though with state of mind you'd be a bit more knowledgeable about the consequences of such actions.
