Re: Murray Football League
OUCH!!
I must be missing something. . . . Because i was playing i guess i had a touch of tunnel vision, so i dare say the best prospective would come from a third party just watching. But surely the senior game wasn't as "bad" as this bloke make it out to be. . . .Was it??(ringo if you weren't playing i reckon you might have a bit to say??)
I never saw the incident in the two's so i can't comment on it. But as for our kid's I don't think their as bad as this letter points out. I'd just like to point out that our club doesn't condon this sort of behaviour at all and it is quite embarrasing to have us implicated like that but because of our wide spread supporter base, we (or any other club for that matter) shouldn't be hung out to dry for the actions of individuals that haven't/can't been readily identified as active club members But had this really happened and I saw it, and these "visitors" were infact part of our club, rest assured they would be swiftly punished!
had a flick thru todays pastoral times (deni's local rag) and was interested by this letter on the back page:
Sir,
May I through your newspaper express how disgusted I was at the behaviour of a visiting football club at the weekend.
As a visitor to Deniliquin, my family and I thought we would go along to see the local team, the Rams, compete against Rumbalara.
Rather than seeing a good display of sportsmanship, I watched as a young man was elbowed in the face and knocked to the ground by a Rumbalara opponent.
In the next game (I think it was the firsts), I watched in disgust as a Rumbalara player jumped on the leg of a man who lay injured on the field.
If that wasn't enough, my own children were accosted by a group of visiting youths, who threw rocks and what appeared to be tiles, at them.
I won't even go into the shocking display of umpiring.
Were the umpires from Rumbalara or were they simply intimidated by a very physical side?
Disgusting! I certainly hope that the Deniliquin Rams Football Club takes some sort of action against Rumbalara for their disgraceful display on and off the football field.
They should be banned, or at least severely fined for their lack of respect for fellow footballers and the clubrooms of teams they visit.
Shame on you Rumbalara, and well done to Deni for playing with honour against some pathetic excuses for sportsmen.
Yours etc,
