I would suggest Ace there would be no "may come under fire" but in fact they
will come under more than fire if this bloke does seriously assault another player. His behaviour is clear and consistent and it can be safely assumed a leopard does not change its spots. APFL has a duty of care to all participants.
The gutless act on Saturday should be enough for the league to realise that this type of player is not wanted in this league, the President was at the game, I assume he saw the incident that resulted in the send off,
act on it. I am also quite sure the umpire had a very good view of the incident as well.
Virginia FC it is time to show some respect to the APFL and the other teams and p1ss this bloke off now. I hear the coach is saying that "he is under control" when clearly he is not. Anyone at the game on Saturday can clearly see that you are a better team without him - cut him loose.
