I don't know about the rest of you blokes but I've seen alot of footy at all levels and I've rarely seen an opposing Trainer rush out to treat an opposing player without first checking that the players own trainers are on their way to attend the player. If the players own trainers need a bit of help to carry a stretcher or some other help then they can ask for assistance from the other club. This guy makes a massive habit of this and frankly it is not necessary. The truth is that he wants to be seen as some hero, when in fact he is actually demeaning the skills and qualifications of other trainers because his actions are virtually implying that I need to get to this bloke because his own trainers don't know what their doing.

Fair enough i suppose DTH - but a right hook to the chevy chase from someone like Tucker surely isnt the way to explain this???

If this is what actually happened...??

[Down the Hill]

How many Cove games have you watched DTH?

From games spreading all grades on Saturday's and Sunday's over the last 2 years, I've seen enough. Plus others on this forum have concurred with these thoughts.

DTH are you feeling guilty about something?

If this Cove trainer is such a pain in the Butt, why don' t or haven't BDOS made/make a complaint to the SFL or Southern Trainers?? How many times have you seen him in action?? Do you even know him, (Hero) he may just be a caring compassionate person.

FACT: He was struck by a brighton player. Not a Cove Playr. BDOS should big big enough to step up to the plate admit this FACT and take internal action at the very least.

This incident as I have said is a blight on the Brighton Football Club and as such unfortunately a blight on all the good people at the club by default.

I would imagine the next time that BDOS and Cove meet the particular player will be next to useless as he will looking in all directions.

[Jono]

The way the Brighton player in question plays the game now shows its past him anyway....Couldn't take Vick out, had two good cracks at it, so went for the trainer!!!! He probably needed to be suspended might of been better for Brighton!!

[damian]

I will definately be watching the next Cove V Brighton game!! I think the trainer should pull a guernsey on for it!!

[Down the Hill]

Because we don't like to waste peoples time making piffy complaints when there were Umpires and SFL Officials in close proximity who saw nothing. Don't start on this "blight" business. Has our club ever denegrated Cove after the shocking incident a couple of seasons back. The offender (thats a polite term) had an association with your club and not once did we ever connect the incident with Cove when we easily could have gone on a witch hunt. What about the incident at the end of the B grade game earlier this season. Cove player copped 3 games which in SFL terms is equivalent to 12 in most other leagues. Did your club take further action against the palyer, or did we complain about the lightness of the sentence, and did I get on this forum and whinge. Answer, NO.

Has your club taken any action against the "buffoon" who approached our huddle last week yelling expletives in a drunken stupor ?

Boys, you've won a final, well done, now start focussing on your next assignment.

[tatts]

DTH - I did think some of your posts were very good and that you were a smart person, however making light of "Ponytail-gate" as you call it shows that you are sadly lacking, maybe having the same brain fade as the player involved regardless of personalities, the striking of an official not actually playing the game is a serious indescretion and I hope the SFL treat it more serious than you are. I am sure that your coach is impressed about the possibility of losing a player in such a manner. I know several other club officials I have spoken to have said they would have suspended the player themselves. You have a very well run club but this is a blight on your club. I can only hope you only a supporter and not performing any official role at BDOS, if you are it is indeed a sad day for footy.

On a lighter note, anyone on here remember a controversial incident that involved lawyers around this time last year..?? That to was a very sad few days from memory...!!!

Gee Mex,you love to stir the pot,glad your on our side !!!!!!

Ah so things are becoming much clearer now! The story sounded a little strange when Kingy was the alleged antagonist, but now has a definate ring of truth since someone of the ilk of Joel Tucker is mentioned. Couldnt agree more with your comments Jono.

Hey CT, ive watched the SFL for a few years and i have never seen Tucker do anything that cheap.Not saying its not true but giving my thoughts as i have always had a lot of respect for Tucker as a player.

DTH, obviously they have done nothing to stop supporters from their club going to far. You would think after the last serious incident it would have been addressed.

And as for Joel Tucker, sure I have seen him in a couple of incidents but never from him starting them..

[vics01]

DTH I would suggest there is a big difference between the incidents. The first involved two ferals fighting in a car park after a game of football. Yes both invovled are as bad as each other. KIng though took the punishment, whilst Draper was made out to be a saint. I suppose the incidents in the SFL of late seem to involve BDOS, maybe the Chardy set are really members of the West End ugg boot set.

Big difference I can say only that it is lucky that it was only the pony-tail express and not one of
the young girl trainers, might have been a different result on the day.

No more to be said

DTH you sound like a kid in the school yard

Go the winflies and if not them then THE Mighty EMUS. I look forward to watching at both games and will keep the camerqa rolling.

[WHEELS&DEALS]

Well done M/Parks I for one have seen a huge improvment in your A grade and there are some quality players there. But as a club you must be concerned with no juniours.( a club with no juniours has no future) what is happening in this area. It is easy to have a narrow vision and just focus on the A grade and throw money at it,this attitude is short lived.
M/Magic how many new recruits this year and at what cost???
Well done to your A and good luck in the future.[/quote]

Agree shoe, juniors are very important and the club has been working very hard to put something in place for the 09 season. I don’t think we will have all grades but will come very close to getting a 14s and 18s team up. Juniors are very important to our club and we have tried very hard to get them going but when your seniors are getting thumped each week it is hard to attract kids to you club. As a club we had to get our senior football back on track which makes it easier to get kids to come and play for us.

[Down the Hill]

I give up. You win Vics01. Cove are a credit to the SFL and a definite pace-setter that the rest of us envy. Your high morals and ethics will eventually rub off on all clubs and remove us of our sins. We may even change our grounds to run east-west just so we can be like you.

I can FEEL THE VENOM running through my veins !!!!!

I think DTH has raised some good points there, at no stage is he saying the incidents were the same but yes a couple of years ago it most certainly could have become a witch hunt into the whole situation. Having played against Cove for ten years or so "Tail-gate" can be considered in both ways to either be seen to be a help, or also has been known to bait a few and have his say.

I think also with all experiences against Brighton there has not been any malice in their actions, that being said everyone has their day.

In summary I think we all cop Shit on the field and it's how you deal with it that makes the difference. Even if "Tail-gate" provoked it in no means should get a retaliation, this is where the SFL should have looked further in and once contact by any one was made it shoud be reported and then suspended.

Play on.

From what i've read on here seems to be an indefensible case, gee Brighton must have some seriously good attorney's, have heard this morning that Reynella's hierarchy are meeting with them as we speak in the hope they can also utilise their services for any "future cases" that may arise... Word is that their current advocate (who got Threadgold off) is doing an outstanding job, just needs to refine his methods ever so slightly and will lead them in their next appointment with the tribunal, whenever that may be...??

[KEYDEFENDER]

no doubt they have a template that refers to precedents... " he headbutted a bloke last time and got away with it so how can you find him guilty now''

Agree entirely! Whether he was provoked or not you can't touch an official in any capacity. If it was provoked then the trainer should be punished for this but it sounds like the SFL have just buried their heads in the sand to not rock the boat.

Come on Reynella help Cove out with some pro bono lawyering!!

[Rex Banner]

Joel Tucker, I witnessed him throw punches at an 18 year old from Port and now a trainer from Cove...whats going on???
