norwood carnival turmoil!

I think we are all a bit over it. Let things run their course and we will await what happens. He has a clean record and had not ever been reported for fighting. Let BASA do their thing until then stop speculating and making more outta a situation that has smeared what was a good carnival for all. Why dont we all put in our time on a positive topic.

this topic is dead leave it be

No probs.

I never said what I thought what they did was right. It was stupid, very stupid, they should accept and be gracious in whatever punishment they get. No spectator should ever enter a playing arena - what's the fine for cricket, $5k?

But what I didn't like was alot of things being said by people, with no response. X punching X etc. Probably the same person posting with 4 different names. (Mod: Doesn't appear to be.)

Lommax - directly from Scotty:

"No punches were thrown, I came on the court and grabbed Benny (I'm guessing Matthews?) and took him back to the bench. There was at no stage any altercations with any Woodville players, I was not ejected. I did have a conversation with a Woodville supporter on the way out of the stadium (ie after the game?) - the dad that reported me."

And the other info comes from Chris Donaldson's brother.

I'd suggest whoever posted the crap about throwing punches etc should watch what they say next time, because people have a) lost their basketball jobs, and b) been severely reprimanded before over their comments on the forum. Read the terms and conditions, because one day you'll get sued.

agreed libertine. First true post on this topic!!

Having heard from the horses' mouth what happened and a spectator at the game, you guys really like to exaggerate and talk shit, aye?

Spectators should not be making reports .
If officials cant see what has happened then they can ask others .. but who is to say how reliable a witness on either side of the court will be ?

Very sticky ... i'd like to defend my client under those terms... would be very hard to make a clear ruling!

eyewitness being the player who started the fights dad. His little boy got more than he bargined for and now is out to attack the Norwood Basketball club.

The woodville guy that came off the bench #32 got off with nothing as the umpire didnt see him. He ran on first and when scott saw him going in to attack he went to jump in. I still havent had anyone come forward with the bruises that this black belt would have caused if he had punched anyone. This post just shows how most of you have your opinions, make up shit and then everyone else joins in. I also gather that the people who said he punched someone would be woddville players. Without being at the game you have no right to comment as you didnt see what happened. The 2 players will be punished accordingly.
