Danny vs Joel ( click to see more! )

yeh but the monkeys would be trained. thats an unfair advantage for the monkeys.

Neither the ref nor the AR knew of the punch- Joel Griffiths was cautioned for verbal dissent, NOT dissent by action, despite what the FFA website says. 

Surely you Jest... (hehehe, play on words there). The AR put his flag up as soon as he flinched from being hit!

rosko - if you watch the clip, Griffiths actually said something at the time.

I've been reliably informed that the AR called the ref over regarding what was said.

Griffiths definitely deserved to get the more severe action taken against him, but it seems that certain Referees hold Godly status, and even more so rich sugar Daddy's lining their pockets, so have two sets of rules, of which to always stick it up the Mariners, is one of them, especially when we're talking those f***w*** Shields and Breeze. And what's with the dickhead Griffiths getting all the accolades, the guys a total loser, looks like Uncle Con is paying bigtime.

Love the passion Poetry... (and I share your sorrow at losing Tommy btw) .... but I believe that references by a few people on here to corrupt conduct by referees for money are very far fetched.  The twin theories of incompetence and stuff-up are a lot nearer the mark I believe.

Not specifically relating this to your post but all remember that this is a public forum and an attempt to resort the laws of defamation is open to people aggrieved by things said here.

Also makes us look a bit silly when done to excess.

If you've ever posted in the heat of the moment and read an old post weeks or months later you'll realise how badly you can come accross.

Imagine how it looks to trolling journo's if 90% of the posts are unreasonable. Then imagine the spin they can put on things if they selectively quote 1 or 2 of the worst examples they can find.

BTW IMO this thread is, in the most part, quite reasonable compared to some others.

its obvious that griffiths deserves a longer ban because he actually hit the ref in a place which really hurts
