well Gronk, he denied it completely...what more did you want him to say? :?

I think the general consensus Stagger is that he's way out of his depth. Good on you for being rock solid with him though, he needs his mates at a time like this.

Zap denied everything .... so gotta either believe him or not

only answer I found a bit weird was the $20K payout - he said he knows no details of it - ummm, aren't you supposed to be the CEO?

Oh FMD, I remember that ticketing debacle now.

Parramatta Leagues Ticketek :crazy:

3rd September, 2005 -

me and the girls had been out on the piss all night, went back to Helens car in the Leagues club at about 4am and there were people lining up (we laughed)

Returned the next day and joined the end of the queue down O'Connell St towards Victoria Rd.. (didn't laugh)

Spent 3 hours playing "Eye Spy" with rowdy, someone brought a stereo and we were dancing in the streets. I had a nap in a gutter, before giving up and paying full price from a normal ticket the next day.

funny funny funny day...

All this article has done is remind me of the painful six or seven hours spent in that damn line. That was a farce, and should have been a bigger story than Zappia letting his mates jump the queue.

I don't like Zappia much, but this isn't news. If Magnay is trying to seperate herself as a 'respected' female footy journo from Bec Wilson this isn't the way to go about it.

Stagger, where not talking about whether or not he denied it, Zappia's overall presentation and the way he held himself didn't impress me. I speak to junior assistants at work each day who could have done a better job of answering Vossy's questions.
Sometimes you can talk absolute crap, and get away with it - much like Gould does.

ok, he's out of his depth then, unlike plenty of people here I'm not an expert at media relations so I wouldn't know, but what I saw last night was Zap deny it and Magany sticking to ger story..so someones obviously lying, but the general concesus is there we don't need a jury because everyone seems to have already made up their mind.

but hey that's cool.

Why wouldn't of the lady in question press charges against Zaps for attacking her/assault???

Was the $20k a pay out because her job was made redundant?

again that's cool, I'm not an expert at this, I'm just a punter....

the other thing about Zapps and the black eye thing I found weird last night was ..

Magnay said "I've heard nothing from either Zappia or the woman"

well how the hell did you get a photo of her black eye if you have never heard from her?

Zaps and Sharks have the right to seek damages if its a fabrication. It would seem that Magnay has solid sources however.

His credibility is questionable when he chose not to respond to her written questions early in the week other than a short SMS on the eve that they were due to go to print. :?

Magnay wouldnt have gone to print unless she was certain her story was rock solid - she held the line well in the footy show.

Not saying Zap is lying at all - just saying I believe Magnay would be convinced her story and sources are solid.


Why wouldn't of the lady in question press charges against Zaps for attacking her/assault???

I dont think any of the reports have questioned it was an accident?

Which made Gould's questioning on that last night bizarre - banging on about these accusations about Zappia and the girl, when the only new part of the story was the 20K.

Was the $20k a pay out because her job was made redundant?

You would think a CEO could have answered that part.

Was it compensation for the injury?

Was it a redundancy?

Was it a combination of the two?

Zapps has been all over the media saying it was accidental, if she has heard nothing, she's deaf.

If it was as simple as that they would have said it. I would guess that it's hush money backed by a confidentiality agreement. That's why both parties are :-#.
