Gleeson exaggerations to deflect attention

I thought this post was about his constant arms stretched out wide like he is offering the ref a hug for making yet another bad call.

I'm not sure about Jawai being a monkey, he reminds me of a brown bear and his tapping opposition players on the head (Maynard and tonight Sobey) reminds me of a bear too... Let's face it outside of perhaps Jett and Ere (of whom are too fat) Jawai could probably break any player in the league in half so I can only imagine what he would do to a fan or a coach that always looks like he needs a fart and a hug.

Onya Trev. Love the way you still sook about insignificant calls when the margin is close to 20 and the game is deep into garbage time. Can't fault the consistency I guess.

I'm Wildcats fan, but Gleeson needs to shut his mouth and just coach. Conklin seem to me an accident and the New Zealand thing just a misunderstanding.

The Owner is a Billionaire and he is a very smart operator and the deflections from Gleeson will be noticed.

Gleeson doesn't win the league, he will be sacked.

"What is the deflection? I am commenting on what is being reported. Try doing the same."

"But mystro said nothing was said that ends that matter."

Here's Breaker GM Richard Clarkes comments on the matter after an internal investigation into Trevor Gleesons accusations.

"Yes, and everything we've uncovered in our investigations today, all the responses from our members, from the Sky production crew, from the NBL referees coach (sitting in the area concerned) are all backing up there wasn't anything racial in what was said.

"So at worst it was a misunderstanding from Nathan, if that."

Asked if the fan in question had gone over the line of decency, Clarke said: "Not at all. My understanding is the comments were along the lines of 'Get back in your seat or get back on the bus'. That is not abusive."

"It was also heartening the way they mobilised and the number of emails and phone calls we got from members to say 'hey, that's not what happened'."

Are we sure the person didn't call him a Monkee?
Maybe they saw his face and became a believer.

Second time Gleeson has thrown Nate under the ... large vehicle.
Firstly in the aftermath of the Martin-Conklin incident, and now basically starting his own media racism shitstorm and then following it up with "If Nate wants to take it further we'll support him 100 per cent"

Regardless of what was said, Gleeson is a big sook and handled this badly. As usual.

I made a sign and had it at breakers games for 5 years that said "warm up the bus you are going home!" We would show it to visiting teams when they were loosing at the end of the games. So saying "get back on the bus" wouldn't be a new saying at NSEC.

"Since when is "get back on the bus" something people yell out at sporting events? very strange insult....unless that isn't what was said"

since Wednesday.

You do realise that the Wildcats cop it more in here when Adelaide are going middling well. What you want it for Adelaide to be top of the ladder, and you wouldnt hear book about them from the Adelaide Crew.

Breakers will be laying a complaint to the league in regards to how Perth and Gleeson handled this matter.
The first anyone heard of this was when Gleeson announced it in a post game interview before there was any complaint to the game manager or even any confirmation of what was even said.
No one called Jawai a monkey or anything else unacceptable, he was told to "sit down on the bench or get back on the bus" because his fat ass was blocking the view of the whole court.
Gleeson's accusations wrongly tarnished the reputation of the Breakers fans and organisation and after the incident in Wollongong, fans of the NBL look like ferral idiots.
Gleeson needs to engage his brain before he opens his big mouth.
