Should the Dogs be docked points?

[innsaneink]

id much rather see docked points for continuous or repeated 'dissent', which is what was showed by Graham and Klemmer towards the referees.

Would go a long way to seeing ugly scenes of players in refs faces yelling abuse which inturn angers fans and rises tempers.

I'm not saying Graham or Klemmers actions caused the actions of the fans because its hard to say if Graham and the dogs had shut their mouths and let the refs rule on the game the fans wouldn't have still reacted the same way.

But setting an example on the field towards the ref will go a long way to cutting this bullshit out of our game.

A bit of sense...refreshing. :thumn

People over at the Kennel congratulating the fan that took out the interchange official saying they deserve a medal. Yep, because it was the interchange official's fault they lost :roll:

Greenberg will go soft on them.

Graham 1 week.

Fans banned but no fine or points docked.

 

[Harold Bishop]

Really bad look for the game on a day where a lot of families and young kids were watching.
Disgraceful from Klemmer and Graham.
Disgraceful tantrum from the fans.
This isn't what the kids should be looking up to.

I'm having a hard time working out what's more embarrassing for the dogs

Game breaker in here, leg breaker on the field or ref breakers in the crowd

Yvonne Sampson just said the bottles came from the dogs members area

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Throwing bottles is pretty unoriginal.

Passing around, and spitting in a bucket, and tipping it over the refs had so much more class.

The only thing that will come out of this is another stupid rule change made by people who wouldn't know their @rse from a hole in the ground -- charge-downs will now incur a penalty. No more charge downs. Someone might get hurt!

C'mon Eels and Tigers supporters, let's show 'em how a 50000 crowd should REALLY behave at ANZ Stadium!

 

[Willow]

Please!! Should the referees be fined there match payments for that garbage?

So you condone the post match violence.

We all get pissed off with the refs, but we don't all throw bottles at them. It's a cowardly act.

Graham yelling in the face of the ref was unacceptable. He cost your team tonight, big time.

Even your coach and Club CEO have apologised, maybe they are wrong too.

 

[Card Shark]

Des insults refs > players insult refs > fans assault refs. Don't agree with "club shouldn't be punished" stance

This has substance.

It all starts at the top.

They are the ONLY club who would've acted like that today. From the captain to the players to the fans, today they should be absolutey ashamed. Utterly disgraceful and unacceptable.

No one will ever attempt to charge down a field goal again -- if it's going to incur a penalty it won't be worth the risk. Better to give up 1 than 2.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Didn't the Sharks kick five penalty goals last week? Good thing they didn't play the Dogs. f**k me, Graham would have gone atomic. :sarcasm:

Lmao, not quite, but get the point

That's an overeaction. It's OK to charge down as long as you don't connect with the legs of the kicker. It's pretty straight forward.
