Word to your Mother.

[Johno6]

what if rickys mum agreed and it became consensual sex?

does it become ok then?

[RustyCage]

Mum jokes havent been offensive for years. Pettard should get over it. He started it by threating to kill McGinnity, obviously trying to get under his skin, McGinnity went harder and got a reaction. Play on.

Mum jokes and saying you will rape his mum are two very different things.

[Johno6]

your mum being so fat that gravy pours out... funny
your mum getting raped by a bunch of guys...not so funny

Yes they are but who in the world would honestly take it seriously?? If Pettard had any dash about him, he would of fired back with something like "have fun digging her up, she died last year ya sicko" Pettard wasnt going to literally kill McGinnity was he? a death threat is pretty full on too yet its being denied and swept under the rug, what if McGinnity took that further? Would there be a police investigation into wether it was possible for Pettard to be involved in possibly murdering McGinnity?? of course not. Bigger things to worry about out there

Com'n mate you yourself questioned wether she'd want it or not

[MW]

Reports from foxsports say that Petterd allegedly said to McGinnity "I will come to Perth and kill you" hence the retaliation...if true then both should of left it on the field and moved on

id ask first.....assertively.

couldnt mgigigigigity say he feared for his life when ricky said he was gonna kill him.

[tigerpie]

I disagree. For what he said he needed at least a week. Im guessing that a lot of you dont know exactly what he said but when you read tomorrows paper you will see this kind of sledging needs to be severly dealt with.
The R word should never be used on a football field.

Too true. Every one knows a ranga didn't choose to be a ranga.

haha GOLD!!!!!

In this day and age with the coin that get's thrown at them they should be able to keep that gutter trash out of the game, too many kids take this sort of thing in, I was umpiring an Under 12 game earlier on in the year and a kid did the Krackouer hand-cuff signall after he kicked a goal, he then asked me if that was alright.

The McGinnity comment was picked up by 2 umps and that seems to be real reason why it was made into an issue.
That was the impression I got from an interview with Pittard who was then compelled to give evidence.
He was playing a pretty straight bat and used the "by all reports he's a really nice guy [McGinnity]" line a couple of times.

[Aerie]

When I first heard he'd got suspended for abusing Pettard's Mum I thought what a joke, but having just read what he actually said I think the penalty is appropriate.

Anyone that makes threats such as "rape" or "kill" on the footy field should be dealt with in this manner. It's just sick, stupid and unnecessary.

Especially given, as some have already pointed out, Pettard can't go and belt the crap out of him like you could in the old days.

[OnSong]

So it's the raping aspect that effectively got him in trouble.

If he said he would wine and dine Pettard's mother, before making sweet, consensual love to her after dinner and a movie with a bottle of champas, does it become ok?

Gold OS, id love to hear someone say that on the field, the reaction would be priceless.

By dragging it through the media it has been brought to everyones attention. Shrug it off and walk away like a man and no one finds out about it/cares. If it stayed on the field like it used to I bet they would have shaken hands at the end of the game and that would have been the end of it.

It was tit for tat anyway, murder isn't something to be laughed at either if you want to get precious about everything.

Im not sure if these things should be administered by the AFL or self administered like it has been for years.
If there is a line to be drawn in the sand I'd have it right between Mum jokes/taunts (OK) and Kids jokes/taunts (not OK). But who am I to impose my morales on anyone?
Hard one.

or lack thereof?

[Johno6]

if i had to chose....

id want my mother to be raped before killed.



I AM SO SORRY MUM!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME

[Drop Bear]

Saying "I'm going to rape your mother", isn't what I'd classify as a Mum joke.
Just a dickhead thing to say.

[Wedgie]

I blame Gen Y, in my day I'd either a) belt him or b)thank him for saving my money for that week's male hooker for my mum.

[Dirko]

P: "I'm gonna kill you ****"

M: "No worries, before you do though I'm gonna rape yo Mamma"

Sounds even to me.....
