Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

So that explains it then, Flowers was trying to dislodge the 3 teeth he lost that were stuck in Hohia's forearm when he was punching him

Or maybe not, and Flower is just a thug

Why you would post a pic that actually shows youy to be plain wrong is beyond me but thanks for clearing it up, it wasn't his elbow.

The best Ben Flower can hope for is a 12 match ban

Talk about splitting hairs. Whether it's a forearm or elbow it's illegal. Nobody said it justifies what follows, but plenty of people refuse to believe it happened at all, hence the post. Some people simply want to believe that Ben Flower did this totally unprovoked as instructed by his coach, rather than as an idiotic over reaction to something Hoahai did.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Re: Ben Flower : Sun Oct 12, 2014 1:44 pm  
Why wiganers keep posting the picture that is after the initial swing to lance is beyond me. Either post it all from the start. Or just stick to the point that punching a player that is already out is wrong.

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

You seem confused. There is no doubt that the Flower incident is more serious by several magnitudes and it wasn't me who was making the comparison. loiner81 was still bleating about the unfairness of the Hardaker ban.



No I wasn't. I was pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of a sad & bitter old fool who trolls regularly on here. I didn't mention anything about the ZH case apart from the bitter old fool's comments on it.

Well done on taking stupid to a whole new level though.

Which was an over reaction to something that Ben Flower did, something you refuse to acknowledge.

And an elbow versus a forearm does make a difference.
