With all due respect to some posters your recent posts have been nothing short of disgraceful. Let me be the first to say what SOME (not all as you would lead us to believe) of our players did was embarassing and it was something that hurt me as a Gumeracha person through and through. But NSP has a point, it was the stupid niggly garbage that has no place in football that started it all...... 3 players just reacted appaulingly to stuff that Kersy have been dishing up for years. As for Thommo, he appeared to be standing up for our players who were being continually abused by certain elder statesmen from over the hill who are supposed to be well respected. Our players have been reasonably well behaved for the most part this season, certainly "most" of our players havent been sent off..... Saturday let us down in a big way but its a bit rich for someone from Kersbrook having a crack for ill-discipline.
Also what gives umpires the right to take hold of our players during a game. A Kersy player, who shall remain unnamed, elbows, strangles and punches one of our players and it was our bloke who gets hammered by the Ump and forcibly dragged away by an umpire. What wouldve happened if the roles were reversed ?? The player in question would be lucky to play again but nothing will happen to the umpires.
Again I will re-iterate that the IMO 2 out of the 3 players that were sent off for us on Saturday (and the 1 from Kersy who was lucky to be there anyway) deserved to be so but its our clubs "image" that rightly or wrongly saw the umpires make huge mistakes that couldve seen all these situations avoid
