Yep.... for shaking the goal post... with his shoulder!

At least it should only be a $2000 fine.

The last player to be reported for shaking a goal post copped a two match suspension. Was Everitt IIRC.

Not sure Adrian, but it's now a set penalty offense, $600.

how can they say he was shaking the post, when he actually only
gave it a bump a couple of times....

isn't shaking something when you have hold of it?

Don't be so bloody pedantic, he caused the post to shake regardless of how he did it. It's outside the rules and was bloody silly.

Yes Dave it was silly. But Rooboy thinks it could have cost them the game. :rolleyes:

Actually, I'd say he was trolling (again!). Not sure how it cost them the game when Sinclair kicked a goal anyway.

Shads, fair nuf!

Dave, being a member here for a few months, yet reading these forums for over a year, is it fair to say he is the greatest troller out there?

Depends on your definition of a troll. Many of his comments are so blatant it's not funny. There are others who troll as much, however as that's all they do it's pretty obvious.

Now that Joffa's gone I'd say it's a toss up between him and Pess, though half the time Pess sounds serious so I'm not sure.

For sheer quality though BSA takes the cake. Bastard :)

Yeah. That post a month or so ago (just about when i joined here) where he paid out on the EFC was pretty funny. "A coach who is a megalomaniac." lol

I remember him posting some bull**** about Jude Bolton being tougher than Hardwick. I almost replied, but was too busy laughing.
