Goulding incident dropped

He isn't a champion as he hasn't won squat

I agree that the league needs to reward good defence with good calls. Players shouldn't need to sell the contact to get a charge call.
That isn't what Goulding is up to though, he's creating contact and then exaggerating it to fool the refs into making a poor call.

It isn't cool or nice to watch and it also makes the league and the refs look like chumps to the casual observer and is worse being as Goulding is marketed as a "Superstar" in the NBL. He (Goulding) needs to act like it, quit the moaning every time he gets called for an obvious foul and quit with the grabbing and touching of the refs and play some basketball.

Pet hate of mine is when you're saying something factual and people come out with the "Haters" call.

No, were not hating. We're speaking in facts. Goulding flops/ he is a flopper.

It's not hating if you're giving facts as far as I'm concerned.

agreed Chalmers.
If it was in Townsville there would have only been 3 or 4 fans in the building, not a lot of people to question and there were a lot of people of FB who reckoned they were there when it went down.

Ooh - he stared at someone. Let's suspend him for the rest of the season. The United bashing/conspiracy theories are getting really boring.

And here come the faithful defending someone for getting into it with a kid... If you read it, it's not because he stared a kid down (that's just ridiculous that a grown arse man would do that) it's because he took it further once the father felt like he needed to step in... If a dad has to step in between someone confronting his kid, that's a serious matter... If Bubbles doesn't want to get heckled for flopping, stop being a flopping twat, or take it like a man... Plenty of players get heckled without losing a battle of wits with an 11yr old... Maybe if he wasn't shooting 20% he would have taken it a bit better? He doesn't mind putting on a show when he's well in front and nailing them from the carpark...

Chris was probably thinking of something clever to say as a retort ......after 20 seconds staring he should of just conceded that the 11 year old had him covered.

Goulding should have flopped, the spectators would have been ejected and the legacy would continue.

Apparently:

"The NBL already is investigating allegations against Melbourne superstar Chris Goulding in the aftermath of United’s narrow 66-63 escape in Townsville on Thursday.

A young boy in the crowd allegedly taunted him for his tendency to “flop”, prompting a staredown at which point the 11-year-old’s father intervened, suggesting Goulding let it go.

Witness accounts say Goulding instead exacerbated the situation.

NBL general manager Jeremy Loeliger confirmed yesterday the league was aware of the incident and looking into it."

If an incident can't be sorted out in 11 years then it should definitely be dropped. Fair enough I say.
