Fat, far too late. This gesture means nothing for me now. He is gone because he has been told to go for the good of the region and sjfa. They should have punted him first thing yesterday morning, at least then I would have said fair play to the sjfa for acting swiftly and decisively. Just no pleasing some people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRUTHERS Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Clubs have been emailed this morning. "Committee don't condone racism", although if it hadnt blown up on here and social media they looked like they were well prepared to ignore it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 He should still be subject to a disciplinary meeting and banned for life. Resigning just gives him the opportunity to crawl back in a couple of years. Any disciplinary the man has sat on involving racist conduct etc should be reviewed, thats the way to make this right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just no pleasing some people.Not about pleasing me or anyone else. It should have been done immediately after the meeting. Not almost 2 days later.He is gone, but i suspect had it not been for the outcry there would have been no action. Hence the sjfa will most likely lose more reputation by it being done this way.I actually wish they had done it straight after, it might have restored some semblance of confidence in them to lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilsythblue Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Let's not lose perspective here. What was said was totally unacceptable and he has now rightfully resigned. This is a man who has given a lot to the game and yes he used language that has long since been deemed derogatory and offensive. That said it doesn't make him a racist. He shouldn't be demonized in this way. Not one delegate stood up and took him to task at the time of the meeting. Hes the product of a by gone age, and chat like that just proves he should have been gone long before, but please let's not try to hang the man for one poorly chosen turn of phrase. Hes gone . Hes apologised. Let's move on . He should still be subject to a disciplinary meeting and banned for life. Resigning just gives him the opportunity to crawl back in a couple of years.

I don't know the guy, but he was roundly condemned for making an absolute mess of the fixtures for years and was part of the West region that has deliberately held reorganisation back to preserve the status of a few individuals. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A highly divisive individual and having been around and about the Junior game for over half my life, I have yet to hear more than a few people have a good word to say about him. It's likely this chiilled Schadenfreude has a sweet taste for some. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some of the other things coming to light in this thread suggest otherwise. Could we now get back to 3pm kick offs?No longer should the whole grade suffer for the sake of one team bus worrying about heavy traffic on the Kingston Bridge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
