Michael

The comment I was focussing on was "team driving", not "competitive" This is a trotting forum so excuse me for missing that you were commentating on Aussie gallops mainly

Fark me Gamma A post where we agree on everything This'll be a first!

You are taking the piss aren't you? To start, Tasmania is part of Australia isn't it?

Surely you are being sarcastic, facetious or attempting to be witty?

I know I'm not that bright because Chief and Brodie tell me so But can someone please tell me why the ATC President thinks that a Friday night meeting there deserves more than $150,000 in stakes funding from HRNZ (as per his Newsletter to Members) when their T/O doesn't even come close to generating that much in income for Harness Racing?

After an Appeal and submissions they reduced the penalty (which I agree with as the original penalty was a bit harsh) And? I agreed that lowering the penalty was ok. So what? That doesn't mean I critiqued or criticised the earlier penalty You're going off on a petty tirade and tangent If you agree it's ok to hit someone while he's being held by someone else just say so Chief

Yes, you can imagine my reaction....but I doubt I'd escape a conviction if my defence was "but Judge, he was mean to me verbally"

Perhaps they were short of tie ups

No bias at all, don't know either of them and don't care Your attitude is that it's ok to king hit someone who is being held by a 3rd person or persons just because he insulted you? You're being a tosser

Not at all Gammalite I've been very consistent I haven't critiqued the brawl, I haven't critiqued the penalty All I've ever done is say it was a cheap shot to hit someone being held (even if he had been calling someone names Chief)

Perhaps they only have 2 drips, and they need to take turns

Don't worry Galah Chief's meds held up by courier

I think your mind works strangely You appear to just want to take the opposing view and posture, like a Devil's Advocate over reaction I'll put it simply for you so that you can understand I don't give a rat's arse about the brawl, nor the penalty(s), nor who instigated it All I'm saying is hitting someone afterwards whist the guy is being held by Security is a cheap shot Grimson on reflection must agree, after all he rang and apologised (his words)

No doubt you support wife bashers too

No he isn't Read what's been posted, or was that your attempt at humour?

Where did I ever agree to the original penalty? Again, this is you not reading posts and imagining you know what's been posted

You obviously haven't seen the video Wasn't the cheap shot afterwards, while the guy (whether the instigator or not) was being held? That's nil

Are you thick? After an Appeal and submissions they reduced the penalty (which I agree with as the original penalty was a bit harsh) Pretty simple to understand Are you having trouble?

The same as the Inquiry It was the penalty they changed, not the findings

Well, according to the Inquiry transcript your guess would be wrong Gamma

Thank you

I thought you couldn't read my posts Brodie? Caught out lying again?

No, why would I think that's ok? You seem to be really, really thick this week Let me put it this way, if I king hit someone in the Pub and then get dragged into Court and my defence was "but Chief Stipe said it's ok because he was saying nasty things about me" what do you think my chances are of getting off? Exactly Try to read what posters are saying, not what you assume that they're saying and maybe you wouldn't be such a dickhead

Something you should learn perhaps Then your site might get more traffic, and more repeat traffic

And hit while being held by the Security guard
