Except 'treading' isn't an offence. It's either stamping or
trampling. So why punish him?

I’ve just watched it real time for the first time on tv.
He calls him a prick - that’s the “spit”. I genuinely thought
he’d spat when I saw the super slow mo angle that Goode has put
out.
It all comes from Healey immediately saying he spat.
I’m not a one eyed Quins fan. But can totally see why now it’s
impossible to claim otherwise.

The referee specifically says: “There’s no force. It’s a yellow
card. Happy with a yellow card John (TMO)? It’s a deliberate
action to walk and step on the player’s ankle, there’s no force,
but it is the cause of the whole incident.”
Then to Ward: “You caused the whole thing by stepping on his
ankle, off you go.”
So that’s the offence.

Unfortunately with this situation the club is damned if they do
damned if they don't as Ward through some personal agenda
reporting about it has him a guilty, it doesn't matter what the
outcome of any citing if there is one as to them he did it no
matter what happens. Some of the abuse to Marler from the 3 year
or however long they have been in Coventry Wasps supporters is
appalling.

I think the club have dealt with this very well.
In the old days of rugby, you’d get a good clip round the ear
hole by the opposition for that type of behaviour but you can’t
do that anymore so a one game ban is a fair outcome. Whether it
was a stamp, tread or whatever, I’d hope we’d all agree that has
no place on a rugby pitch.
Well done also to Ward for coming out to apologise - we’ve all
done stupid things in the heat of the moment but it’s a strong
man who accepts he was in the wrong and apologises.
Hopefully case now closed!

Ward just dribbled. It wasnt a stamp, just pressed down with his
foot. Yellow right decision. Move on

I’ve just rewatched a slo mo clip of the incident on Twitter.
I’m quite worried that it does seem that he collects spit before
releasing it from his mouth as you would do if it was
intentional. Originally I thought it was just a accidental
spray, but I think this may actually be cited as much as I hope
it isn’t...
Here’s the link to the clip let me know what you think? I’ve
watched it over and over

Fine. If it was dealt with correctly at the time why have the
club punished him?
