clarifying a small point about Roy.

Standard Mariners justice is upheld.

Time to rally behind the club now and not let him respond negatively to the shit slingers that have started on his case. Mistake made, penalty handed down. Move on and continue to work hard on the paddock. Damn shame he will be limited in his chances with Garcia tho as his workrate and a decent 10 surely would have seen him net a shit load.

And while I'm talking about shit slingers... There are some F'ing morons on Facebook who claim to be Mariners fans who have no idea. They pass judgement having no clue what they are talking about and end up making our club look worse because of the shit they spout. Which fan honestly comes out and says...
"I am a Mariners fan... Good! This clown is a rubbish player and an embarrassment to our colours "

You can think it but not put it out there without anything to back up the comment. one incident doesn't make you an embarrassment. If it did, there'd be no NRL players left to be employed.

Moron.

Sorry, rant over

On Insta an idiot was spewing we sold our best player.
Click on to his page and has Fab as his fav player in whole league
Let him know to give himself a face palm. He came back with o but I meant this or that. Just take the burn and shut up.
Much prefer to be here

Wrong thread?

 

[Rowdy]

Not really. Conversation just flowed.

Yorky's post is about Roy & some muppet on Facebook.

The fact that the keeper was not cited by the MRP for this is absolutely beyond disgusting, after Roy's incident. Absolutely no consistency or integrity from this organisation - but there never has been from the MRP. Utter disgrace to the sport.

ordinarily I would say that beggars belief that there was no action taken either at the time or by the MRP....but this is Sydney we are talking about, not some pissant little regional team outside of Sydney.

Amazing how quickly time flies, he's already served 4 games (Victory, Adelaide, WSW and Nix).

From here he misses Roar, Radelaide, Heart and ScumDerby 37, returning for our home game vs Victory on March 6.

I actually like the fact they did nothing to be honest as there didn't seem to be too much apart from a little push and shove off the ball. There were no punches or headbutts, yes there was an over reaction from the keeper but nothing worthy of a red card or ban. Thought MRP did a good job on the Monty sending off to and all that can be said of Roy's that it was in line with the crime he committed. Others may have got away with lighter bans that they should have but for what Roy did 8 weeks was fair.

Here I was thinking attacking someone off the ball was unsporting conduct in itself.

Ran up and tried to elbow him in the head. It was a red card offence.
Didn't it knock Mackay over? If so then that would make it an arguable red card even without the attempted strike.
And of course, inept refereeing (the referee and near AR weren't really supposed to pick up on it, but the other 2 officials were supposed to...although competent refereeing would have dealt with the late tackle that started it).

Hello.

Sydney rules apply here. They can do what they want and FFA/MRP rules don't apply

Again, in Association land he could be looking at violent conduct and up to 5 weeks. It's *miles* off the ball, completely unnecessary and could've started (and on a park probably *would've* started) a brawl.
