Stupidity!

Thought Id tell you about my disciplinary hearing on Wednesday night.

The player pleads not guilty to punching. Fair enough I thought. Perhaps he was pleading provocation or he hadn’t actually made contact. No, his arguement was that he slapped the guy not punched him. In my mind it was clear. In the law book it says “striking” so doesnt matter a jot either way!!

Anyway, after explaining what he thought had happened, his club chairman says “We’ve also got this video that proves it”. In the vid goes, and lo and behold, shows exactly what Id said in my report. A clear right hook, to the face, after the whistle.

I couldnt believe it and the look on the panels face showed I wasnt alone.

 How silly. They found him guilty and he got 3 weeks.
