Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

[Woolly Mammoth]

Go tell that to the Scott brothers

That was the hilarious thing about the 'Clarko in strife again' thread on the main board, Geelong supporters getting on their high horse, didnt Chris Scott physically threaten oppo players?

 

[DunderHead]

But they are ****ing campaigners

 

[Coopersbeer]

ount" it says.

Feels like a total stitch up, but **** me, would be nice to just have one week without bad news or controversy coming from the club

AFL on a vendetta over the legal proceedings with Clarko and Brissy Coach in the background ?

 

[Caracas]

"We want angry Clarko.. ."

Angry Clarko appears.....

"OMG.. this terrible...."

In fairness, the people who say “we want to see angry Clarko” are not the people who say “OMG… this terrible…”. The people who are saying that don’t want to see angry Clarko. They’ve seen more than enough of it for one lifetime…

I remember getting the rounds of the kitchen when I said “bloody hell” in my house on July 28th 1979 when I was about to turn 11.

 

[TheKanga]

They wouldn't want to hear what I called the umps during the Good Friday match.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

If they're going after Clarko for saying naughty words. I can't wait for the couple of years of suspensions they hand Chris and Brad Scott.

I mean, they cut to their coaches boxes for reaction images of them losing their shit, you telling me that they're not swearing during those moments?

 

[Cyber_punk]

Don't give a single shit.

Anyone that pretends to such as the media or the main board don't either, and are just using it as another opportunity to sink the boots in while we're down.

 

[Chadwiko]

North cheer squad should start a "effing C-bomb" chant at our next home game.

 

[Roo202]

 

[Intothewind]

The umpires on the bench are yet to deny the accusations allegedly directed towards them.

Let's hear their defence....

 

[Passmore]

It's like primary school. "You swore, I'm dobbing"....

Pathetic.

You’d have to be off your meds to report this type of ‘incident’.

Baffling.

 

[Chadwiko]

This "investigation" should be pretty quick.

There were three broadcast cameras setup on the benches at Bellerive to capture the Coaches (both Clarko and Hinkley coached from the bench) as well as the players on the interchange. Highlighted two of them in yellow below (with the third being the camera taking the footage of Clarko pictured).

Even though those cameras don't capture audio, the footage is clear and unequivocal. If there isn't footage of Clarko looking directly at an umpire and mouthing very easy to lip-read words, then this has to be dismissed as nonsense and Tom Morris should have to publicly apologise to Alastair Clarkson.

5 people. In other words, half of the crowd.

And theeeey will never... tear up our tarps!

 

[King Corey]

Who gives a ****.

Just makes me want to stay on the bus.

Next time hope he throws a Molotov Cocktail into the umpires quarters too.

 

[Horizons_00]

It's like primary school. "You swore, I'm dobbing"....

Pathetic.

This. We are behaving like little kids.

 

[Horace]

If indeed, Clarko did utter some profanities towards the umpires, then surely he is entitled to rely on a truth defence.

Who of us here would disagree with the veracity of those alleged profanities?

 

[Engimal v3]

Clarko should argue a truth defense. They are ****ing campaigners.

 

[Horace]

Let us not forget that this is the very same Tom Morris who was sacked by Fox Footy for this.

‘Deeply ashamed’: Fox Footy reporter sacked over offensive remarks

Tom Morris has been sacked for making offensive comments, including remarks about a female colleague, which were leaked to social media following his confrontation with Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge on Wednesday night.

Why is he back as a football reporter after that behaviour?

Oh and isn't it just "absolutely wonderful" to see that well known North hater, Damien Barrett doing what he does best, being sticking the boots into our Football Club.

He is not one of us and I doubt if he ever was. Loathsome individual.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Imagine the scenes if Horse started coaching from the bench

 

[DrZaius]

Gee what a whole lot of nothing.

If said directly to/at an umpire it should be nothing more than a quiet please explain from the AFL and indicated to apologize privately. Instead they have made it into a clickbait issue purely for the optics which as we all know is the right way to run a professional sporting league.

****ing campaigners

 

[TheKanga]

So surely this is wrapped up today?
Club can't even enjoy the bye without any BS

 

[Roosurgence]

Coach goes off at incompetent umpiring……..

Tom should just stick to telling his mates that he wants to nail all of his lesbian colleagues.

Hopefully Clarko gives him a call and calls him a ********er.

Who isn’t yelling profanities at the current shitshow that is AFL Umpiring.

The outcome of the investigation into North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson’s alleged expletive-laden outburst will be shaped by whether Clarkson was merely expressing frustration or directing the language at officials.
The AFL probe was grappling with that question on Thursday morning, and it will determine whether the four-time premiership coach will be suspended or not.

The league was speaking to officials in the vicinity, including a security guard, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident who spoke confidentially because the investigation was in progress.
The league on Wednesday confirmed Clarkson was the subject of a probe for allegedly using “profane language” in reaction to an umpiring decision while coaching from the bench.



The two sources indicated that the words used were: “f---ing c---.” What was said is not being disputed, it’s whether the language was directed at anyone that is being investigated, and that is very much in doubt.

Under typical AFL practices, merely swearing on the boundary line would not bring a punishment.

Alastair Clarkson cleared following AFL investigation

The North Melbourne coach has been cleared of directing profanities at an umpire, following an AFL investigation.
