It’s not about my needs, it’s about highlighting those who abuse people who disagree with them. Then they usually get outraged and grab their pearls collectively.

You either want to have a forum where people are made to feel welcome and can express themselves or you don’t.

Just don’t get all shirty when people defend themselves from personal attacks when they didn’t start anything with anyone and just voicing an opinion.

Anyway you have gone into battle with the herd, you are stuck there, you won’t admit or concede any misjudgment....so be it.

Enjoy your stay, chill.

A mod that joins the pack and abuses dissenting voices?

I don’t think he would be asking for your help.

You would be as welcome as Paul Green turning up to Marys house with coaching advice.

If George had sunk his finger into Robbies eye as alleged, I don’t think Robbie would have cured himself seconds later ( as Madge said) with a few blinks.

The worst of the contact was simply finger tip over closed eyelid. Happens in every other tackle when players are trying to wrest the head off an opponents torso.

Kungl's worst alt.

A whiny bitch

Anyone else get the feeling this bloke is Bunniesman?

Topic all but forgotten as the pack wipe each other’s bottoms.

To suggest George meant to hurt Farah doesn’t hold up under any forensic or medical scrutiny whatsoever.

It was an ordinary facial and despite all the moaning and outrage, there was very little or nothing in it.

2 weeks for stupidity should suffice.

Irrespective of the intent or apparent lack of, its not in the spirit of the game. Hence the reaction from the referee and the judiciary.

Couple that with previous occurrences of foul play and its hard to suggest its an overreaction.

We don't need that shit in the game. There's plenty of other ways a prop can assert himself on the game without needing to be caught up in that shit.

Don't flatter yourself. there's no conspiracy or pack mentality.

We are all independently calling out your dumb shit.

There is a bullying mentality by some of you for sure and above you are just proving my point despite your plea of innocence. You are clearly the lord idiot of your electorate and a person people secretly despise and loathe in real life.

Back to topic you scruffs:

The “gang of the gouges” have lost the argument because there is no footage or any other evidence able to be adduced to suggest that a finger or part thereof is in his eye.

Once again, the footage and stills show that his fingertip or finger is upon his closed eyelid, forehand and face.

Robbie has no damage to his eye consistent with a gouging.

How do the “posse of the pathetic” explain that?!

Why you miss this most simple of observations is because you want to believe that George is some kind of monster when he is a simple idiot for putting himself in the position to be accused of the offence.

Not even Madge thought it was serious.

Exhibit “a” gouged eye from stock media. Eye is mangled, bruising present.

There are degrees of eye gouges, just as there are degrees of broken bones, hamstring strains or concussions.

Just because Robbie’s eye didn’t look like that doesn’t mean a gouge didn’t occur. His eye was pretty damn red, and there is video evidence of Burgess sticking his finger into his eye.

I propose a definitional meeting of minds as to the term gouge in the context of this incident.

I can accept that his eye was a tad reddened afterwards ( although no media has checked to see if his eye was red beforehand).

But I would argue that the redness was the natural result of a vanilla flavoured facial, that is caused by friction of his hand across his upper face region including the externalities of the surface of his eye socket.

The bold claim as to existence of footage into the eye itself, well I have not this in common media. I have seen images that suggest this only, but naught conclusive.

Unless it’s beyond a reasonable doubt, I can’t subscribe to this overbearing public outcry that embraces crude and destructive stereotypes.

On that basis, the possibility of a standard facial (albeit couched in obscene visual atmospherics) remains not only alive, but indeed, likely.

Thank you for your post.

I doubt a “vanilla flavoured facial” would redden the eye that much, if at all. You would need to do some serious rubbing of the eye to get that level of redness without any actual insertion.

If my eye gets itchy I will give it a rub. Probably harder than a vanilla-flavoured facial would be. My eye doesn’t turn out red like that unless I’m rubbing it regularly over a long period. A two-second long facial without a gouge wouldn’t do that.

You're 58 ?

Have you always taken life this seriously ?

Relax a little.
