It's just political speak anyway.

Why the hell would I want to read any Herald comments lOL? Maybe if you're a masochist.
I don't really see much vitriol towards him around here?
In fact the only reason I piped up about this is because so many people were even going to the point of saying what he did was a good thing.
He was a dickhead and got himself banned for 2 games in his first few minutes of football. Let's move on and focus on the players we actually have available for the coming match.
I agree the club probably should have just dealt with this behind closed doors, no need to publicly come out and air the laundry. If they were queried about it they could have just said they were dealing with it internally and would prefer not to speak about players personal affairs in public. We don't need to know if he's getting counselling or any shit like that.
billy and goodwinfan, theherald's king cawksuckers
I wrote a comment suggesting that billy get anger management counselling instead of Joel. The Herald didn't publish it. I assume they wanted to give him my suggestion in a more discrete manner.
The short memories of some of you.
Where was all this talk of embarrassment and counseling when Kew got sent earlier in the season? Seem to recall that was over sfa compared to this.
Love to find out who that Billy Bloke is
What a contrasting fellow he is
Has all the dislike of Middleby that our very own Plague has but also has some undying love for Bridges of similar heights that My2BobsWorth has.
One different individual
How did he publically embarrass himself last weekend??
He got sent off for saying a little too much to the ref. He ain't the first and won't be the last to suffer a similar fate
Watch the footage. Griffos efforts are nowhere within the top 80% of players who have suffered a similar fate.
What really is the biggest issue here is the lack of support from his teammates. WHERE THE FARK WERE THEY???
If they had any of the passion the Griffo has they would have been over chatting to Ben Williams well before Griff EVEN got there and taking a yellow or two for the cause.
Those blokes just left Griffo high and dry and now the club have cut him loose.
I also assume any Jets player who now gets sent off for dissent will be under going councilling at their own expense and will also be publically hung out to dry by the club
DIS GRACE
The Member restores some sanity to this thread.
Where's sanchez to do his weekly foz posting?
still fapping that griff got on the field
Griff embarrassed himself and the club so the club then gets to embarrass Griff?
Has Middleby confirmed yet if, in fact, his Dad IS bigger than Griffs?
Not. Even. ****ing. Close.
The bloke includes some good old Middleby bashing in every post he makes without fail.
You should recruit him as your 2IC
Thomas477 is my new apprentice.
Bloke already lives the Middleby out lyf.
Thomas is a deadest amateur compared to our Billy though.
Your probably more concerned about ole Billy usurping you
That was a legit harsh call and not a display of blatant immaturity and bad-sportsmanship or "passion" as it is referred to on this forum.
How did they embarrass him? It seems to me like the club was trying to show the fans, most of which feel let down by what happened, that griff is doing something to rectify his actions and is clearly remorseful.
Of course I tend to read things as they are and don't sift through articles trying to find something to twist into my next crappy joke about middleby, as some members are prone to do.
....
G'day Robbie.
I'm sorry griff but one must be able to question thy god at times.
Yeah, that Thomas477 really sticks it to you.........I mean Middleby doesn't he.
Anyway, good for you that you have super reading powers that us mere mortals don't have. With your ability to sort out the 'spin' from 'fact' puts you in good stead to host your own show on Fox News one day. (You are a hot blonde chick aren't you?).
Now for the main issue:
I felt that a players brain snap (be it an outburst, a bad tackle etc) shouldn't be treated by the club publicly especially to please a certain section of the usual tin hat brigade.
(You said 'most' fans feel let down yet you have no real idea if it's true or not, you're just guessing).
Every time Middleby is asked a question on player contracts etc we get the standard "we don't comment on players etc etc etc" (which I agree with) but when it's time for JUSTICE he is more than happy to tell the world a players business.
I don't like that approach.
That's all.
I hope your super reading powers manage to cut through all the chaff and get to my wheat.
Thanks for the chat.
Plague.
Oh, and Middleby out.
Firstly your argument has kinda collapsed upon itself considering I said that I just take the articles at face value and don't try to find hidden meanings etc. So good work there.
Secondly yeah that was a guess but an educated one seeing as we are pretty much the only jets fans that exist who are so devoted to this guy and even some of us are on his back.
Thirdly that's a totally different situation and once again I'm fairly confident that airing that news was not an attempt to embarrass griff.
Thanks,
Parkesy.
