Bryce Gibbs insults Hannant

[stuke]

But if you know he has a dodgey shoulder you can run at him all day long.

One action results in nothing at all - the other could end a players season.

One is OK, the other is deemed a dog act.

if a player has a dodgy shoulder and decides to stay out on the paddock he is fair game. you can't just put your hand up and say "don't run at me". what next, because someone is out of breath they should slow the game up?

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Excellent point.

Either sledging all religions is fair game or out of bounds- 1 or the other. If making fun of a Mormon on account of his faith is permissible, so too is making fun of a Muslim on account of theirs

*opens can of worms*

Muslims love playing the victim card though, so anything associated with that is blown out of proportion.

You know it's true.

Insults against the Muslim face are rarely phrased as insults against the faith. It often crosses the line to race.

Calling a Muslim a terrorist is interpreted as racism.

Saying The Koran has the believability of a comic book is fine

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Maybe Gibbs told Hannant he looked like Gary Busey?

Fair point. The whole generalization that Muslims are terrorists is not acceptable.

But Pete's point still stands- I doubt there would be the same reaction if a player called a Muslim a ''dirty/stupid etc Muslim''.

believing in things is a choice - whether it be jesus, buddha or underpants gnomes.

agreed. how long before someone comes out crying because their political views were attacked?

 

[Highlander]

Next week someone will get in trouble for sledging the political leanings of an oppostion player.

There are 3 no go zones.

1. Children
2. Racism
3. Disability/Mental Ilness

Children??? C'mon the old "Hows your wife and my kids' is a great sledge in a scrum!!!!!!!

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Gibbs is a waste of space.

 

[Noa]

I heard every time Hannant made an error Gibbs called out "Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb"

 

[Sunshine Coast Tiger]

Gibbs is a waste of space.

This year Gibbs has been in better form than any of the Parra front rowers.

anything you have no choice about - race, disability, family.

believing in things is a choice - whether it be jesus, buddha or underpants gnomes.

it is pathetic that people try to make religion off limits. it might be poor taste, but if people are free to believe stupid things, others should be free to bag them for it.

Hence a decade of sledging Knights supporters about drugs.

I doubt Gibbs would have gone off without prior provocation - otherwise he'd do it after every loss and we'd call him Michael Ennis.

You either sledge, or you don't. If you sledge, you open the door. Seems like Hannant can give it but not take it. He's a f*ckwit is can stand beside Ennis all game and laugh at his crap, and not take it himself.

Besides, it was Hannant vs a number of Tigers - didn't Farah say he pulled Heighington away? Sounds like Hannant mouthed off like a giant blonde f*cktard and couldn't handle it.

 

[Ulysseus]

Gibbs is a bit of a dickhead, and Hannant would probably tear his head off and sh*t down his spinal column, so maybe he needs to buy Fred Ciraldo a beer or two.
Gibbs does seem to have this knack of being a dickhead, he also seems to have a knack of getting smacked for doing it, Rd1 2006 - Ryles clocked him on the chin.
Had Hannant clocked him on the chin and then decided to go on with it,................. ugh, he would be a lot less pretty now.

 

[Apey]

Illegal physical violence.


Sledges may be cheap shots & the work of a merkin, but reacting to them in any way is just plain stupid.

agreed ^^

It's tough to comment on because we're not out there playing but I think I'd rather just remember what he said for next time I run at him or he runs at me like O'meley vs Gibbs :lol:

 

[MacDougall]

Righto. I'd back in Gibbs to deck the Morbot any day of the week.

 

[Benji Magic]

Get over it Hannant, learn to handle it. If religion is so important then give up footy and take up door knockin' like all the others.

I don't have a problem with sledging during the game but when the whistle's blown, that should be it, be a man shake hands and walk away.

Gibbs is a tosser if he's gone on with it after the game and Hannant had every right to want to clock him for it.

He should have clocked the f*^*wit, might have knocked some sense into him.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Gibbs learnt that if you're going to piss a Bulldogs #8 off, do it after the siren when he can't get back at you on the field. The lesson, compliments of Mark O'Meley

I'm loling to myself knowing that the tune would be different if he was idssing a Muslims religion.
