Robbo's Big Day Out?

[Blue Dawn]

Anybody know anything about Robbo's reported shenanigans at BDO? Probably a storm in a teacup but anyone see/heard anything relevant?

Perhaps the Herald Sun planted a reporter in the crowd to antagonise Robbo just to get a good photo and story opportunity!? The Stiffy's may make Mike's top 50 this year subject to injury??

Maybe it was just a mosh pit...


But that dude there with his phone camera out shows just how easily it is for celebrities to get caught out.


Lets Hope he didn't throw any punches

 

[Kramer1]

Nothing to see here...except Robbo pulling out a fully sick robot.

 

[Bronze]

KB will be calling for a Round 1 suspension.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Classic robbo

 

[Mr.X]

Photoshopped?

Why is the hand in such clear focus compared to the rest of the shot?

Saw him a few times and seemed well behaved, was happy to take photos with fans. He was walking through the area behind the entrance to the mosh while The Killers were playing and a disabled man said hello, Mitch was so nice about it and stopped to chat for a bit. The man didn't have a phone so Mitch gave his phone to someone else to take a photo of the pair, and then he was talking to the mans carer about trying to send her the photo.
But of course that won't make the news...

There is no player on the list who treats his fans better than robbo.

Had a wrestle with his good mate.. they're about to move into a house together. Were here laughing and carrying on after it. Blown out of proportion. Move along.

 

[triplezero]

Plus yes. He used his own phone then MMS'd it to the carer. It was very sweet. He has all the time in the world for his fans. I've never heard him complaining.

 

[Silvagnis]

Judd's resignation as captain is to blame...

CULTURE.

Reads like it was you he was wrestling with

Thanks smashhman, that's the sort of stuff we're after. Doesn't appear to be much in this but mind you, if he was play fighting with a mate, there would be better places to do it than with 50,000 at BDO I'd have thought (unless it was in a mosh of course).

If true the guy acted like a clown and should know better.

Don't try and preach to me about how he should know better. I PERSONALLY think the whole football world is a ****ing joke and the majority of supporters are absolutely deranged lunatics. He isn't a 'celebrity' as someone mentioned up there. He kicks a bag of leather filled with air around a field in a testosterone filled environment and people complain when he blows off steam in an alpha male fashion with his friends. Tell your kids to look up to someone who has contributed to society through bettering it.. cancer research, acts of goodwill. It is a joke and the media makes me sick.

He is a celebrity whether he likes it or not.

Though, the professional football career, regular TV appearances, interaction with fans, and social media use seem to indicate that he is 100% celebrity.....

By the way.... I'm not having a crack at him at all in my earlier post I was saying how easy it was for outside people to make things messy for footballers. We have no context here (from the article) other than an angry looking photo and a news paper article saying there was an incident.

[zeeCFC]

Not even going to bother with reading the article....I trust triplezero 's account of things more than a photo of Mitch hyped up (when isn't he) that can be misconstrued.

We have no better interacter and indeed, tolerater of fans than Robbo.

 

[Blue Dawn]

Good work 000.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Shocked and appalled.

In the photo he definitely looks like he is taking the piss. Trust the Hun to take it out of context. It would seem The Age didn't see anything in it.

hey triplezero, do you mind if this pic is posted in other threads talking crap about Mitch and the BDO ???

I don't think anyone disagrees with you mate. But in Australia, particularly Victoria, footy players are like celebrities. Doesn't mean he did anything wrong, just that the media will exploit whatever they can. Particularly one like this when Robbo is one of the hard nuts of the game (which is what we love about him).

I have a photo that suggests otherwise. I think a fair few, including yourself, are going to be a bit disheartened if anyone else got any real footage or photos of the incident (as a carlton supporter i will defintly not be making the photo public) I love robbo, and am not saying he was not provoked in this case. However I'd suggest that there will be others who got vision of it and defiantly suggest if anyone in carltons media team is reading this to get a pretty good pr response in place, channel 7 are already all over this and interviewing witnesses as I write this.
