Hope a report goes to NNSW and this bloke is dealt with, considering a spectator was banned from Lisle Carr for two weeks by NNSW not too long ago.Originally Posted by Jono469
This should be dealt with big time, as sounds a massive level above what our bloke done.
Lets see NNSW deal with Edgeworth this time ??
Same Olympic player was involved in after game spat with Ayden Brice on the Wednesday night
I'll admit straight up that I wasn't in the tunnel when it started but I saw and heard it as soon as it blew up. He ripped the pocket off one of the Lakes officials shirts as he tried to throw punches absolutely going off his chops. Apparently all because Lakes wouldn't let him take his 2 young daughters into the sheds.
I was at the Lakes - Edgy game as well and I couldn't believe the lunatic in the Edgy shirt.
Everyone in the stand could hear and see him carrying on like it was 2am on a Saturday morning outside the Kent Hotel.
He wanted to fight anyone that came near him and his language was the worst I have heard at a football game.
A terrible portrayal of Edgeworth as a club if this guy is on their coaching staff.
Why didn't the ground official do anything about him?
They did. Looked like they told him to leave or maybe some Edgy officials suggested same.
The whole thing was done and dusted in just a few minutes.
Short but very intense.

Lake Macquarie having been doing this for years not letting supporters into the sheds after the game especially when they lose, I remember it happening when Wallsend smashed them in a semi a couple of years ago and they brought their song outside. NNSW are well aware of Lakes ridiocolous rule which incites opposition supporters when there not allowed in.
I just watched a video of all Olympics supporters in an away shed singing the team song at NNSW's pet club. NNSW have to tell Lake Macquaries castapo to pull their heads in, once the referees and players have passed thru then they should allow supporters to stream thru and if they want guard the home and referee access doors or this will continue to happen, not that I am condoning some Edgeworth goose going on like a pork chop i hope his children didnt get to see all the going ons.
I think Cardiff had to sing the song outside when they beat them in FFA cup. No excuse to carry on like a clown, like I say, will be interesting to see what becomes of it, we had a bloke banned for two weeks for a minor indiscretion, lets see what NNSW hand out to Edgeworth, AND Magic for that matter.
Cardiff got told by the duty officers that only the people on the team sheet could enter the change rooms.
Serious question why would Lakes stop people entering the sheds? Some of my best football memories have been singing the victory song with friends, family, old boys, etc in the sheds (home or away) singing along.
Do Lakes have an Old Boys day, and if they win tell Danny Burt he can't come into the sheds to sing with them? I highly doubt it.
OK
Abusing the referee isn't a slight indiscretion
Change rooms after games isnt a place for a bloke and his 2 daughters for mine. He can fo
Maybe after the gf where all rules are thrown out is the exception.
Correct
The last thing I'd be doing is taking my young daughters into a males change room after a game of football. Looks like common sense prevailed here in not letting a couple of little girls in the sheds. The afters reaction is obviously a different story and not great, but no need to take girls in there.
Agreed. Whatever clown thinks it's a good idea to abuse a ref after the game when nothing can be changed or done regarding a decision in the first half is hardly a minor indiscretion. Certainly the club didn't think it was a minor indiscretion. Having spoken to a few who are aware of the FACTS, the club officials who were present after the match all supported the referee in taking action against the muppet. Maybe if NNSWF followed the Rugby (NHRU) who gave 12 weeks to a person from Uni who abused a ref, we too might be rid of this blight on our game. Maybe then we'd have more than the 5 or so referees who seem to be the only ones good enough to do First grade. And if you think they're bad, who else? Keep abusing them and you'll have no one. Maybe those who think it's a minor indiscretion to abuse a ref should go ref if they think they know better. Actually put up or shut up. Or maybe those who get suspended for abusing a referee have to go referee for two weeks or never be allowed entry again. There's simply no need, no matter how dismayed you are with a decision it's just rediculous to think you're that important you need to go and abuse someone. The sooner that club gets rid of this person for good, the better off they'll be IMO.
Before a ref gets to first grade they must put up with crap from players, team officials and spectators for several years. Many potentially good refs don't get to higher levels because of these people and they just give it up. Who would want to get abused every week from people that don't know the rules properly. In the last few years we have had Digby, Allen, Davies, Archer, McGilchrist and probably a few others give up. All these guys seemed to be around for ages but gave it up for whatever reasons....... did they have enough as well?
Anybody guilty of referee abuse should be made do "community service". They should attend a condensed referee coaching course and be asked to officiate at games that would normally not have a referee.
Herald article, and video, of Ruben Zadkovich post-game vs Olympic:
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/46...-video/?cs=306
Ruben & Magic should be embarrassed. And I have zero idea how/why the refs & federation, let alone the police, aren't taking it further. Which funnily enough, am I right in saying the guy Ruben pushed IS a police officer?
George Calombaris got charged with assault, and has to face court, for an almost identical same thing, but to a fellow spectator, at the A-League Grand Final.

I genuinely see little to no difference between what Ruben did, and what Calombaris did.

OK
I think the difference is that the Columbaris issue was initiated by the victim who went to the police the following day to press charges. On the actual night, and the footage shows this, the incident was witnessed by security/police nearby who spoke to George straight away but did nothing more other than moving him on. They mustn't have thought much of it similar to what the referee and NNSWF made of this event. Now the alledged victim has gone to the police to press charges and it will be on him to prove that George committed an offence.
With the Ruben incident, if Olympic aren't doing anything about it and they agree with the Referee that there wasn't much too it (as stated in the Herald article), then the only reason the police would get involved is if the victim (as you rightly pointed out, is a police officer) lodges a complaint. I'm sure he's well aware of his rights and what does/doesn't constitute an offence and if he does nothing about it then I'd say it's safe to assume this was just a bit of handbags that doesn't look good but really doesn't need anything more than what's already been done.
Do we know why Ruben reacted like that? Was something said to him to provoke it? Was anyone there who saw it or heard anything?
It doesn't what was said by either Ruben or Scott Smith ( the Olympic player ) .
At the end of the day a First grade coach has over reacted and lashed out ( pushed ) an opposition player. A bad look for our game , A bad look for Magic and for mine a worse look for Northern for sitting on their hands and doing nothing about it.
As usual , they want a club to be the bad guy (Olympic ) and put in a for a formal complaint before they will take any action. Everyone can see what took place and as the governing body, it is Northern's responsibility to deal with this matter
