I agree to an extent. It does seem as though there’s a real
intention to drive controversy in rugby these days from journos
and broadcasters. I think Dave’s stepping on Young’s foot was
stupid and that reading between the lines he’ll get a severe ear
bending from PG but I think the way the disciplinary process is
being driven by the media is a cause for concern.

Neck roll is dangerous but to call it inexcusable is just silly
overreaction. Dangerous and illegal play and will be dealt with
as it is for all players. Hardly despicable behaviour.
Treading on his ankle is unpleasant and potentially dangerous.
Silly niggle, deserved yellow. If people think that's a stamp
then they're entitled to their opinion, but they must stamp
everywhere they go.
As for the spit, I think it's very questionable. Don't see from
the video how you could say either way. If he did intentionally
spit then that's foul and inexcusable.
Andy Goode's twitter attack is also inexcusable. He's said
before he doesn't like ward. He's s joke and I'd hope marler
would steer clear of their pod

I notice a complete lack of anything regarding Mike Brown being
taken out in the air from goode, maybe a bit of jealousy that
browny can grow his own hair

Of course Mr foode is a Wasps cheer leader, a certain dayglo
(who really shouldn't do commentary on Wasps games) unlikely to
mention anything about that. Or the white into Joe Marlers face
from a certain CM previously of this parish

Oh and to call that a stamp is ridiculous! Didn't see the spit,
other than some stills which don't show any direction or landing
of the phlegm. Just it leaving his mouth, while shouting?

CLUB STATEMENT: DAVE WARD
Sunday, 30th December 2018 @ 12:00
FOLLOWING THE PREMIERSHIP MATCH BETWEEN HARLEQUINS AND WASPS AT
TWICKENHAM ON 29TH DECEMBER THE CLUB HAS REVIEWED AN INCIDENT
INVOLVING DAVE WARD AND THOMAS YOUNG IN THE 10TH MINUTE, WHICH
LED TO A YELLOW CARD FOR WARD.
Following this review the Club has decided to give Dave Ward a
one game suspension for treading on Thomas Young's ankle.
Harlequins Head of Rugby Paul Gustard said: "We have reviewed
this episode as a club and I have spoken with Dave.
"We do not coach, condone or accept foul play and on behalf of
the team and the Club, I apologise to Thomas, Dai and Wasps for
this incident. It was an unnecessary and regrettable incident in
what was a tightly contested match at Twickenham."
The Club also reviewed an alleged spitting incident involving
Dave Ward and are satisfied that there is no case to answer.
Ward said: "I apologise unreservedly to Thomas Young, Wasps and
everyone at Harlequins for my yellow card yesterday.
"I would also like to make clear that I did not spit on another
player during the match yesterday. Regardless of what the
television footage looks like I know that I have never spat on a
player in all my career and will never do so."

Well done to the club for quick and sensible action. And well
done for knowing the difference between treading and stamping.
If he'd stamped on his ankle young wouldn't have been able to
play on.

Great tweet by Nick Mullins a few minutes ago
[quote=@andNickMullins]Only Dave Ward knows if he deliberately
spat at another player yesterday. If he did, he has to live with
it. If he didn’t, we all need to calm down.[/quote]
