MRP / Trib. Crowley guilty of Pinching

[Outshined]

He gets off a full on throat whack and has the temerity to act like a three year old against alleged pinching. Sniper

This is the thing that annoys me. I'm not fan of the alleged pinching done by Crowley, but if we're singling out tactics like that, then more scrutiny should be heaped on Harvey's hit to Crowley's throat, Harvey pulling Mzungu's hair, the attempted eye gouge by Petrie etc.

It was a game where both sides got in each other's faces, more so than usual anyway. I'd be feeling as aggrieved as Crowls obviously is given that he's copped the brunt of the punishment when there were a number of potential incidents not involving him. Just to qualify, I don't think any deserved suspension outright, but there should at the very least be a measure of consistency. If Crowley gets a $900 fine for pinching on the balance of probabilities, then clearly Harvey should be fined for a hit to the throat.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

is that official?

Yup, was the case before Crowley's

Harvey is really showing his true colours here, has put a smear on his 350 game career

 

[leungtl]

"Rafferty now questioning Harvey. Wants his best estimate of how many times he was pinched in the first quarter. Harvey says maybe 10."

"Harvey told investigator yesterday that he lost count of how many times he was pinched in the first quarter and he didn't say that lightly."

I can see how counting up to 10 is challenging.

Oh man, what a little bitch.

...

I'm no expert on mentalities, but I'm pretty sure this isn't how you react to getting tagged.

I dunno, something about hurting them the other way or something...

 

[StingBitten]

Well, that's just awesome

 

[Cheesewheel]

This whole case is ****ing stupid.

Two grown men arguing over pinching and all the evidence is just 'he said she said'.

FML

I'm getting flashbacks to twenty years ago when my kids were growing up

????...
So what are your views on pinching?

Does not bother me one iota, it's footy, it's what happens, you get scragged all the time.
So he ended up with a few bruises, stop the bus Jason !

What I take exception to is blokes dobbing to umpires about a girly pinch.

Harvey is fast losing his reputation with every game he plays on, hang the boots up mate the game has passed you by.

North medical report says there was no injury sustained. "It was a pinch on a broken rib", says Harvey.

"North medical report says there was no injury sustained. "It was a pinch on a broken rib", says Harvey."

North might need a new medical team if they can't identify a broken rib... Or let someone play with one?

 

[valkorum]

He really played with a broken rib? I find that hard to believe

 

[Mudd]

Nothing on the Norf medical report, no video footage, umpires didn't see anything.

Will Crowls be paid for having his time wasted tonight?

Waiting for evidence of welts................

"We're now getting into the specifics of a pinch. "Was it a thumb and finger squeezing the flesh?"

"He pinched me, that's all i know"."

LOL strong answer.

 

[electricfeel]

Lulz. This is ridiculous!

[Scossie]

I'm no legal wizard, but surely if there's no video footage, and it's just one bloke's word against another's, Crowls should be given the benefit of the doubt? Innocent unless proven guilty in this country the last time I looked.

 

[Freo88]

You're all kidding right? Its a pretty dog act to pinch once let alone mutliple times. Even if he did it once he should cop the $900. No place for that. Play the ball instead of pinching someone! Im pretty confident in my mind that he pinched harvey at least once thus should cop his fine, i dont care if harvey dobbed.

Same token the hair pulling should also have been given a $900 fine. Take the purple shades off people, pinching is a dog act!

I was just thinking it sounds like something you'd overhear in the kindy playground.
