Bang 'im up, bang the Argie up ..... :hmph:

damn argies... first the faulklands, now this.. what cheek!

Pathetic, it was obviously just an accident

**** happens in the heat of the moment of sports. This is stupid.

Rules are rules - the assault on the adverting board was intentional not accidental, the line judge was clearly visible, inches behind it, and the injury was both bloody and painful - it could have been worse if, say, the judge had gone into shock and died - I hope the Argie gets a massive fine and a stretch at HMP ..... :pipe:

He just got a bit pissed off and directed a kick at an advertising board, it accidentally gave the judge a bit of a cut but as if there was any real possibility of serious injury, never mind death from it. He was disqualified from the final of a tournament he was looking likely to win and missed out on nearly £40k in prize money, that's punishment enough

Hasn't done anything wrong.

I disagree.

If he's a professional, he should act like one, not like a petulant schoolboy.

To paraphrase Candide:

"Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon d'emprisonner de temps en temps un joueur de tennis pour encourager les autres."

:pipe:

the advertising board was like 2 inches from the judge, how could he not know that it would hit the guy?

Well it's more of a box, he probably thought it was a lot more sturdy

He should have thought harder, longer before lining up his "free kick" ..... :hmph:

The Old boy sitting down
had Blood on his leg.


Thats why he was removed

Assault being checked

I can't believe they give excuses out to the scum of the earth, yet treat cases like this seriously, wtf is wrong with the law? it was a god damn accident unlike some of the other cases I could point out where they got away scott free.

Absolutely pathetic the reaction to this, Sue Barker used the word brutal to describe it yesterday

Get

a

grip

:nono:

I believe that you are grossly mistaken. The video clearly shows deliberation and intent from the Argie - he was reckless as to the outcome of his assault on the board.

:idc:

Obviously, that's what the Argie should have done ..... :shrug:

Yes Argie Reckless


Bang On Right

I think disqualifying him was even a bit harsh, and unfair on all the people who'd paid to watch it, should have just given him a massive fine

I just love the way the women who find amusement in murdering their children are left to roam free whilst such trivial matters as this are taken so seriously. Absolute disgrace.

This is tennis we're talking about. The line judge was sitting inches away but the professional sportsman couldn't control himself and lashed out like a petulant child. The assault thing is a bit far fetched because there was no intent, but it was right he was disqualified, or at what point of unprofessional behaviour do you draw the line?

This, and don't forget the 3 Muslim girls that beat the white girl up calling her a white slag, and the woman in Southend yesterday having 4 people beat her up yet I bet they won't even be taken as seriously as this.

Im not saying he shouldn't be disqualified, but seriously why has it got to be investigated? there's been fights in loads of Football matches yet they've never been investigated.

I think it's just.

Don't you DARE start on Sue.

Exactly. As I say, dickheads exist in every shape, size or form and if they called her a 'white slag' there's no justification whatsoever on the race issue. Just a month or two back we had that Essex woman hurling vile abuse at people she deemed to be 'foreigners' (which was utter nonsense). She gets banged up for five months yet the Muslim racists have nothing happen, bar a caution. Talk about equality.

He certainly did act like a petulant child, as you put it, and he most certainly deserved to be disqualified but the whole 'assualt' thing is bollocks.
