Cowardly thug disguised as a Barrow player has quite rightly been charged with GBH. He should NEVER be allowed to kick a football again. A great opportunity has been presented to the FA to set a president that should permiate into every level of football. I wonder if they'll have the balls to do so.  |

I have to disagree with you on this one, Frankie.
For a start, Cotterill may be a thug but I don't think breaking somebody's jaw could ever be described as the act of a coward.
Second, banning him from football for life would give him no opportunity to show that he's reformed. Everyone deserves a second chance, no matter what they've done. In my view, a two year ban would be severe enough. And that would be on top of any punishment the courts may hand out.
I assume your reference to the FA having balls was a pun!

I never really saw or heard much of the incident (yes, I have taken to living under a rock). Ergo I have no valid opinion.
Doesn't mean I won't give one anyway, I don't support lifetime bans because as already said they don't give a chance to reform.

Apologies for belated reply as I have been without t'internet for last 7 weeks.
Phil Wilson has always liked a thug in his teams (including when he was boss at Leek)so it didn't come as a surprise to me.
I couldn't wait for the post mach interviews to see if he was still an unnatural shade of orange.
I thought the Beeb missed an opportunity in not having a 'please do not adjust your set' message on screen while he was on screen. ;D

I guess there are thugs in every League. What's the general Barrow record on bookings and suspensions, by the way? Though 'smash & grab' is a Journalistic phrase in common use in football, how would you feel about this?: www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=39204Puts "handbags" or "elbows" into perspective, in a way....  |

I feel a bit better about having Carl Gibbs play for us now...  |

I feel a bit better about having Carl Gibbs play for us now... Hmmm. Not overly pleasant, is it all?  But I guess footballers are chancers by nature, and young men with egos, drive, testosterone and a certain amount of confidence, so it's hardly a big surprise if some turn out to be human off the pitch as well! |

Another Barrow thug got a red card for an elbow on Dennis Pearce on Tuesday night added to a punch against Mark Danks back in February. They are one of the most unpleasant teams in Non League football.
