I was there. Bodi didn't swear, he pointed toward the stands and asked Carney why he was slinking off down the tunnel and ignoring fans.
Carney let rip with "Fvck off, ya fat cvnt" (both heard and seen by myself, a good 12 metres from the tunnel)
I'm sure Bodi will agree when I say the tone in which he expressed his disappointment was heated, without being offensive to anyone (except perhaps Mr. Carney)
I can also understand the frustration that most/all players will be feeling straight after another poor result. I probably would have felt like doing the same as Carney (the tunnel walk, not the swearing).
Actually Gypos were the first with the Academy team playing in NSW state league 1 in 2012.
We entered youth into NPL in 2013 I'm pretty sure, happy to be corrected.
Part of the whole NPL revamp from FFA was to get A-League youth team's into the NPL some have done it sooner rather than later.
Phoenix always had a good relationship with Team Wellington in the ASB premiership but now this season Phoenix fielded there own team in the ASB premiership.
Does not surprise me. The lack of accountability at the club is reaching epic levels when the club won't take strong action against a player swearing at the fans.
How he is up for selection this week defies belief. A competent admin would have seen he was dropped from the squad and bullshit like this was not tolerated
The argument that he should not be publically punished is complete new age codswallop.
Dave Warner got publically exposed for off field discretions last Ashes in UK and was dropped and to his credit took it on board and has worked hard on his game and is reaping the rewards of knuckling down and making big personal contributions.
Competent admin has seen the situation dealt with so as to address the issue and set an example to his peers and Warner and done so to protect the future image of Cricket Australia and keeps the public sponsors happy that CA are on the front foot and pro active with player issues.
Yesterday Greg Bird copped it and had to front the press and the exposure of his weekend indiscretion. Today it is all over the paper
Contrast that to our inept club who sweep all issues under the rug deal with them in house in secrecy and then wonder why their fan base have no trust in them and they are on the nose with the community and sponsors
It is all about the culture of the club and the failings of management to adhere to values we want should have.
Birraz BK Griff Kew Peppz Kanta Neville all made the time to sign autographs and pose for photos. Why are they able to do it yet this bloke thinks he is above it all???
do we have any evidence to support Carneys argument of whether Bodi is or is not a ****?
I feel that Hamma chap is needed to confirm.
Could sway the case IMO.
