I spoke with Richard Horgan after the game and he said they are certainties to win the flag
Embarassed to be a Tiger supporter is a bit harsh, dissapointed would be more appropriate.
To be honest whilst not scoring in the second term and at half time four goal down it wasn't beyond us to stay with Redlegs and mount some sort of challenge in the second half. However a 5 goal blitz in 5 minutes by Waybacks showed the quality of players WFC have and we were simply outclassed.![]()
The dissappointing factor was after the 5 minute blitz the body language of our players changed and the heads dropped. Marti would have felt like doin a Blighty and leaving the oval for sure, suddenly no numbers at ball, no second efforts and many un manned opponents allowed Waybacks to dominate and give us a thrashin that brought back memories from years ago.![]()
Whilst we need to make statement, i think we need change like a safety net for the League & Tribunal as in set penalties (pretty simple) when finding a player guilty to take away the burden of deciding penalties and any repercussions. It's easy to critisize the representatives at present but if we have set guide lines for them to follow it would avoid the situation we now have.
The statement BFC need to make is win a god damn game.
Well said, couldn't agree more.
Personally think that the BFC needs to stand up and make a statement that they will not be intimidated by the MPFC...by showing up to play.
Video tape the game for all it's worth, but unless it is an official PLFL organised video then it is inadmissable for tribunal hearing I think you will find. OK for civil action tho..........
After the last incident, there will be that many official observers (incl Police) at the ground that nothing will happen. Probably 3 umpires will also send a message.
The BFC cannot and should not hold the PLFL to ransom over this matter.
