Yeah? Since when has any club done that?

Because it was dirty and really stupid.
On the spit thing: Again, he clearly spits. But there's no
evidence of where he spits, no sign of him aiming, no sign of
who it hits, and no complaints from Wasps. What exactly do
people want here? Ward - who I think is a liability, for the
record - to be tried and convicted because BT want us to believe
that it was deliberate on the back of no evidence?

That wasn’t the issue. I was answering “it’s a stamp because
treading isn’t an offence”.
Which isn’t true according to the match officials.
The club have presumably punished him because it’s a
humiliatingly awful thing to have done and damaged our
reputation on the day that should have been about a discord HQ
crowd.
But it could also be for laughs.
Either way the slow mo clip everyone bangs on about proves
nothing whether you think he did it or not.
It’s one angle and you can’t tell where he is in relation to the
player or anything - which everyone at BT knows well.

Andy Goode has already completed a thorough online investigation
and found him guilty by opinion. Nick Abendanon did say in reply
that yes he did spit like most players but did say there is no
proof it was aimed at anyone.

At a guess, I'd say it's to teach him a lesson and to send a
warning to others. It also shows that we are getting our house
in order and won't tolerate foul play; better to address it
immediately than to wait for possible citing and (maybe) get
away with it if there is none. It won't do the club's reputation
any harm, and if it sets a precedent that's a good thing IMO.
Self-policing was very evident in the days pre TV cameras...

Well, Quinky, that's probably the most balanced response, but I
certainly don't think this is over.

I think there's a chance he gets cited for the ankle tread, and
a very tiny one he'll get cited for the spit, but only if
there's some proof that BT have so far failed to provide.

Wards not the sharpest tool in the box, also has a particularly
bad rep for some other unsavoury incidents
Also, he’s a rubbish hooker. Great round the pitch but his
throwing a abysmal. We really need a top class hooker
Marler is equally dim, getting warned he might get a red card.
Just STFU
