Yes, Ivan has set a very ugly and dangerous precedent and encouraged young people to abuse officials.
We all remember the very ugly incident when Andrew Fifita threatened and bullied a child match official. This was in ivan’s precinct as well and Gould had to ban the giant cabbage for brains from their junior league catchment.
You would think Ivan would know better, but he doesn’t because all he is too concerned with how important he is to worry about the good of the game.
When you think about it, it is consistent with ivan’s generally shameful and selfish character and that’s why it’s pleasing and a tribute to the game that karma is having its way with him.
The entire league was more than uplifted when the panthers played like burnt crumpets against park footballers dogsters and lost their best player for a trip.
We can only presume that Maloney’s trip was another one of ivan’s superb coaching techniques ( pointless Ill discipline) in action but there will be no bullying of the officials of judiciary that this clown can lie his way out of.
The game waits for lyin ivan to go too far one day and to get struck off the roll of coaches.
The panthers are a club beneath contempt for their continued support of him. Mark my words, he will betray them too and they will come crawling back to us apologising for their unseemly, corrupt and unconscionable conduct.
Lyin Ivan the match official abuser, being creepy in the tunnel.
Another dark era emerges for righteous rugby league fans everywhere.
The game needs to cleanse itself of people who abuse officials. They are the bottom of the barrel in my book.
