It's getting so that clubs need to send minders out with players whenever they want to go out on the town, to keep an eye on things and be ready to jump in and apply the shepherd as soon as some flog gets in the player's face. :rolleyes:

******* hell White. If this is true I've got no respect for him at all. What is this year 8 where we get called names and decide to physically retaliate. Weak.

How does the solicitor dad raise such a bellend for a son?

In no way am I condoning what White did though.

He won't get anywhere with that lawsuit. These incidents happen hundreds of times every weekend.

Mr Soccio’s dad Carl, a Melbourne solicitor, said his son had been struck by a “coward’s punch’’.
“If these guys think that because they kick a little ball wacking people they’ve got something coming,” he said.
“If that punch had been different it could have destroyed my family’s life.’’


If Dad is a solicitor, he should know better than to go making public statements like this before the case has been investigated.

Hard to say without knowing what he said. If someone had a crack at my family they'd get some kind of retaliation for instance.

It would have to be some serious provocation for the club to turn a blind eye to this altercation. I get the feeling White will be suspended for a bit by the club.

Lucky Andy McInnes has found some form...

Could be a case of slander and libel if things point to his son being the instigator of the whole incident.

Absolutely! And if that's how it plays out, I'd say go for it!
Tired of players being easy set-ups for this kind of thing.
Because of his public profile, the player's name is dragged through the mud, while the other clown remains Neddy Nobody.
