MR

Lui's actions, if proven, are reprehensible, and of course they are significantly worse than Carney having another bender. The coverage each will attain in the news though is dependent on other factors. Carney has 50 times the profile Lui has. Every media outlet in the country, not just News Ltd, would have given Carney significantly more coverage than Lui. That's because he's more well known, and as such more people are interested. If they want to devote more column cm to Carney that's their business, and who really gives a fark? No-one does, apart from the barking mad flips who frequent this joint. If it worries you that much, sit at home all day like the oldies and pump out letters to all the papers, and all the TV networks, and all the radio stations, and tell them how upset about it you are.

What can't be argued though, is that to refer to someone in the way PG did, is also reprehensible.

Bullshit

What other media outlet stalked Carney to and from Bondi Ink??

What other media outlet wanted Carney in prison???

What other media outlet had a reporter "handy" to take photos of the guys coming out of a pub on a dead night in town???

Of course "Mick the Cabbie" brother of "Joe the cameraman" was on hand

What other media outlet has a running shit fight with Nick Politas??

Apart from Family, what are the 2 closest things to Politas???

The Roosters and Gould !!!!!!.

The telucrap targets both constantly

It is New's way through an egotistical drunk of a Journo to hurt him most.

The superleague war is done and dusted, it is time to get the fark over it!!!

[chook 56]

maybe the print media learnt a lesson from the Inglis case.

ROFLMAO

You mean that they aspire to the the truth/facts?????

Geez, gotta climb back onto my chair.

[Guest]

Lui hasn't been convicted yet.

Look what happened in the Inglis case.

The headlines read something like;

"LOWEST ACT"

"INGLIS ARRESTED FOR HITTING A WOMAN" [or GIRLFRIEND]

...then the truth was revealed at his trial.

He said he had pushed her out of agitation after she "got in his face".

Girlfriend puts new slant on Inglis row

THE girlfriend of National Rugby League and Melbourne Storm superstar Greg Inglis has revealed new information to police that may ultimately clear him of assaulting her.

Sally Robinson yesterday handed investigators a lengthy statement that provides a different version of events to the one she had previously given.

The signed statement is believed to reveal specific information about what triggered the altercation. It is understood to refer to Inglis trying to disarm Ms Robinson while she was in the process of self-harm.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that a knife was mentioned in that case.

I'm not saying Lui is innocent, but maybe the print media learnt a lesson from the Inglis case.

Lui has never denied either.

The reaction of the club says everything for mine

I hope no one confuses "not guilty" with "innocent".....

[bondi-boy]

Then there was the Bird case:

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/spo...-1225802251656

KATE Milligan was high on prescription medication, drunk and "crazy" when she lunged at former NRL star Greg Bird with a glass during an argument, she has told a court.

Ms Milligan had been snorting her ADHD drugs "like cocaine" and drinking heavily when she argued with her famous partner about the pressures of being a "footballer's girlfriend" in August of last year.

After sleeping at a friend's house, she let herself into Bird's apartment the following morning while he was sleeping and ripped up a photo, smashed a photo frame, threw water and flowers at him and eventually lunged at him with the empty glass, she says.

It smashed into her face, causing a broken eye socket and cuts to her eye for which the former Cronulla Shark was charged with reckless wounding.

After being found guilty in the local court, Bird was sentenced in June to at least eight months jail time, with a maximum of 16 months, but was immediately granted bail after lodging an appeal.

On the first day of his appeal hearing in the Downing Centre District Court on Monday, Ms Milligan said she had started the fight and been "punching and scratching" and attacking her boyfriend while high on drugs and alcohol.

"I was just trying to get a reaction, it was very childish, very immature," Ms Milligan told the court.


#####

He didn't attack and assault that woman in the niteclub either, CCTV cleared him of that.

Wouldn't it be nice if the cops actually did more investigation into cases like this before they charged people.
Jake Friend's niteclub case, for example...CCTV cleared him of hitting that woman who was allegedly punched.

I'm not saying Lui is innocent, but often there can be two people involved in drama.
Being drunk is no longer an excuse for assaulting people, so I believe.


Ahem, even Her Majesty was reportedly involved in a 'domestic':


http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/...927-1kvi8.html

IT WAS a right royal tantrum. The front door flew open and Prince Philip charged out.

A pair of tennis shoes and a racquet flew after him. An enraged Queen appeared in the doorway, screaming at him to stop running and ordering him back.

As a fascinated Australian film crew watched, cameras rolling, the Queen ''dragged'' her husband back into the chalet in which they were staying, and the door slammed. The crew had been waiting for the Queen to appear so she could be filmed looking at kangaroos and koalas, according to a new biography of the monarch.

It was March 6, 1954, and the Queen was halfway through an eight-week tour of Australia - part of a six-month world trip after her coronation. The couple was having a weekend break on the shores of the O'Shannassy reservoir in the Yarra Ranges of Victoria.

Naughty naughty, throwing things at husband...and enraged screaming at him.

Also the same journo who wanted him in jail and out of the comp now wants him at the club he supports.

That's where wankers like Rothfield and TOK are shown to be men of very little substance.

Very good point as there quite clearly is a difference. Coffs Harbour, Sharks sexual assault incident for instance??

[mightyrooster]

[QUOTE=theGman;156804]Crap! The SMH didn't order reporters and photographers to follow Carney & Myles around after their indiscretion and publicise the
fact they engaged in retail therapy, caught a flick, followed by how many coffees that had etc...That's stalking, trivial and above all
trashy.
IMO, the SMH reports the details without over-sensationalising or overdoing the story.

Excellent points.

[mightyrooster]

[QUOTE=fitzy;156835]Also the same journo who wanted him in jail and out of the comp now wants him at the club he supports.

I bet there won't be such a need to report Todd's acts of stupidity / benders if he ends up at the Sharks. The Robert Lui approach might be the better option then.

[Kingbilly]

Teabags there is no defense of the media.
They deem themselves the ones to determine who gets the coverage and pretend its the "Sales" and their reading public. Absolute crap.
Are you going to get upset if I call Whatmough a "fast" carnt because he drove 50 kms over the speed limit yet didn't get near 50 lines your paper.

The main issue here is, and you need to be reminded, that its your halfwit of a rag that is determining what gets the coverage, nothing else. And because of the way its done its pretty bloody obvious there is an agenda and you guys are nothing but professional hypocrites

But it does amuse us when you try and justify it all

Disgraceful that everyone's dismissing it as a joke.

Yes he harps on about it instead of the main issue but at least you can acknowledge it's wrong and then continue to the main issue.

Fair comment Geo.

I agree it can be wrong what PG said. I wouldn't say it that way personally but will admit I didn't even notice PG used the term originally.

I guess a lot of respondents know PG personally. We know he's a lovely bloke and someone I wouldn't call racist especially knowing his heritage and some of the people he's employed/employs. In fact I'm sure over the years PG has been subjected to many slurs similar in nature, about his heritage.

I also guess age has a bit to do with the race issue. Older blokes are a lot more loose in general with their language I've found. They've grown up saying it as they see it and at times forget we live in a time where you can say black but not carnt.

That's the issue I've always found strange. Even in a newspaper or on this forum they will censor the c word but not the b word, but the b word causes all the angst where the c word is fine without the b word attached. In fact the c word won't raise a headline without the b word attached.

I know playing footy over the years I've heard a lot worse said around the boys. The black issue is something that I can't recall ever being a problem back in the day.

I attended a school with every different race creed and colour imaginable. Multiculturalism was a big issue then. I'm a skip and we were always refered to as dumb skips, lol, it was just the way it went.

I remember playing soccer for sport also revered to as wogball. Now the teams were always wogs vs skips. Funny thing was there were a number of skips in the wog team and vice versa. It was more about who you hung out with. And the wog mob were the ones who named the teams, they called themselves the wog mob.

IMO it's wrong to incite hate about a persons race creed or colour. IMO that was never PGs intention. He was angry about what Lui did, not his race. I don't think anyone's excusing anything or anyone.

Teabags has started this to deflect from the real issue at hand. He's the real carrrrnt.

Written like a true News LTD lacky. And as per usual full of shite.
