It appears that Gawwy did have a good point after all http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/jan/19/rugby-league-bradford-greg-bird-leeds To quote The Hood: "There is such a thing as being innocent until proven guilty," Hood said.

Whether he was right or wrong doesn't really come into it.

He should not have opened his sanctimonious mouth in the first place.

How's the Greg Eastwood signing coming along?

Do you have a link to the story where Hetherington condemns the Catalans for signing Bird?

To be honest, all I really see here is that Bradford have got away with it. If he'd been allowed to play before court, he certainly isn't going to get a UK visa now, so they'd have been a bit screwed now.

Apparently Catalans are trying to get him on a flight back to France. Is he allowed to leave the country before sentencing.

As for Hethrington, he can say what he pleases. It's not the first bit of sparring in the press between Headingley and Odsal, and it won't be the last. I tend to not take too much notice of it. I agreed with most of what he said, for the record, but I doubt he'd have said it publically if it hadn't been Bradford doing the signing. Speculation, of course.

Is glassing someone really such a contentious issue for the more gormless fans, who believe onfield performances excuses all other behavior?
