Scandal Alastair Clarkson whacking port fan

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Drunk idiots on the street should be locked up.

 

[Play by Numbers]

Hamish and Lethal well prepared for the interview. Asking all the right questions to pour water on the incident. Clarko responding well.

Thats not really their job though, to do club PR.

 

[Bollox]

Twit got the attention he wanted.
No problem with Clarksons action...there's a line that was crossed.

 

[peppy la pew]

How do you defend this person?

Lowlifes tend to stick together

 

[I am Jack]

Clarke with the 'fearing for my life' line.

Not really. The gist of what Clarko is saying is that this guy was a pest. Judging by the footage, I'd agree with Clarko.
What gives fans the right to infringe on another individuals personal space, in a threatening manner - while intoxicated?

 

[Nikita Blue]

god the Dorothy-dixers from Hamish are painful

 

[Cosmogramma]

He's talking it up a bit but can't blame him for what he did.

 

[MaxHunt]

Sounds like Matthews would have snotted the guy

 

[Tulip]

Shit they way Clarkson has talked about it he could convince the viewers that Hitler was innocent

Christ you're an idiot.

 

[Hydrurga]

The bloke was a total campaigner. If it were anyone else he was harassing, he would get his face caved in. Clarko did the right thing under a circumstance where there weren't a whole lot of options.

 

[outabounds]

Clarko shows no remorse on Channel 7. He was scared that something might happen so he hit the guy. WTF

 

[Scotland]

He'l have to be banned from coaching for a week or two at least, anything less would be bordering on corruption. A Player doing something like that under any circumstances would see them banned for a month.

What kind of punishment is that?

Whenever he is away his team wins.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

More spin than a centrifuge.

 

[RedLegs#5]

I've seen Clarkson at the footy many times. He sits quietly (usually with his kid) and is quite pleasant to those around him.

He's allowed to push the guy away.

Absolute garbage.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

And then theirs hawthorn supporters

Brilliant.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Pissed idiot copped a whack.

World order restored.

If you have the reasonable expectation that somebody is going to hit you, you can legally push them away.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Guy deserved what he got.

 

[RobV]

Great interview by Clarko and on viewing that second video I gotta say I agree with everything Clarko did. Those guys were harassing Clarko and Fagan and Clarko's response was justified, hopefully the police charge the yobbo with assault and if he is a port member he gets his membership torn up.

 

[Cosmogramma]

shocking footage

HAHA my god. The media should not be allowed to post this shit.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

You do know he was at the hotel and not at the ground right?

Yep, like I said, I think this sort of heckling would occur from time to time to plays just out on the street or in bars wherever they may be. If you just ignore it like players would all be trained to do it goes away within minutes and you can get on with your life

 

[BobHawk]

Thats not really their job though, to do club PR.

Don't think it's their job to sensationalise the incident and take a moral high ground which seems to be how the media reacts in most cases.

 

[manureid]

Hamish, 'So Clarko, what can society learn from this'?

Twunt.

 

[The King!]

Yep, like I said, I think this sort of heckling would occur from time to time to plays just out on the street or in bars wherever they may be. If you just ignore it like players would all be trained to do it goes away within minutes and you can get on with your life

How do you ignore a guy all over you filming you?
