3 week ban so the headlines are saying........
That's Hartley anything...

[cynic]Ah, but it gets him back in time for the 6N[\cynic]
It was an unsighted reaction to being held. Feels about right to me
You don't swing an elbow whether you can see the guy or not. Hartly's a thug. England does not need him, the game does not need him.
For God's sake why do you have to bring nationalities into it?
Hartley is a thug (note I'm not saying that the English are thugs.). He's been cleared to play just in time for his (adopted) country's major annual tournament (as has hapened with other nationalities before!). That stinks as much now as it has in the past when other countries have played the same con.
As I pointed out "England does not need him, the game does not need him." England would be better served by having a player who can keep his discipline and not this idiot.
So please keep the Nationalistic claptrap out of it Browner.
Th OP mentioned England as did several others before me. The value of Hartley and in thuggish ways to England's cause was raised by, dare I say it English posters. Another English poster reference the "cynic's view" that the ban was "convinient" in length. So please Brower if you are going to chuck mud, whether in a flawed attempt at humour or otherwise, try reading the posts in the thread first.
My opinion on Hartleys status as a thug is based upon his disciplinary record. Simple as that.
