For anyone reading this and bitching because the post has been removed, read on.....
As you're well aware, some mainstream media are grubs and will scour this website for the slightest thing that looks like half a story, which may in term may bring the
league's reputation into question.
Therefore, this is a small part of the reason that the rule here is, that we don't mention it, until the tribunal has dealt with it - after that, OR if the media DO happen to get a hold of it in the meantime, then obviously there's not much we can do. It then becomes somewhat of an open slather
Usually, when people blow up on here, it's because they're personally and emotionally invested, meaning that most of the time, what they write can be inflamed and or/exaggerated (you know, one side to a story)
OR in this case, the post was more about poo-pooing on another club, rather than being concerned about the actual incident at-hand.
ie; "there was an incident on saturday, in which a scotch player ended up in hospital "allegedly" as a result of a behind play incident from a Broadies player, we're not happy with the incident and Scotch may lodge an investigation" is much better than;
"a scotch kid ended up in hospital as a result of a dirty dog act by a filthy broadview player, they've always been filthy ever since 1879 and they're a pack of spineless ****"
This also gives just enough information so then this also avoids the clubs in question being involved in a media circus, not unlike the TOSsers a couple of years back.
So again, we need to look at the bigger picture. Ok, if you think it's ok to crap all over another club then use another website to do it because it won't be tolerated here. There's a fine line between banter and sniping.
Unless it's Bedge and he's going savage on your BBQ, then you possibly deserve it, so step it up
I for one, have more important things to do with my day than go back and forth with empty threats from clubs to "take it further" if things aren't taken down. Seriously, you're grown men, take your squabbles elsewhere.
Rant over.
