Longacre_red Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Any news on the 'injury' suffered? And was it definatly an 'assult' (sp)? and do you think he will press charges if it was an assult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collis Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hmm Butler has severe facial damage, and the the other guy has an injured hand. I'm no judge, but something doesn't add up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Aparently Tony Butler is the type of player who constantly chips away at opponents the whole game with little comments and insults etc. to try to get a reaction. It seems this time he messed with the wrong guy. Until it is known exactly what was said, I will reserve judgement on whether he deserved the whack.

No? on my own? ok, ill get my coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest No9. Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 It's part and parcel of the game to wind opponents up during the ninety minutes play. I play myself and I am always trying to put the opposition off and wind hem up even if it's just to get them to foul me (Hopefully in the box) but I always make a point of going up to said player after game and shaking his hand and having a laugh with them about incidents. For a professional player to use his fists to get back at him is totally not acceptable (Unless butler made a racist comment ut I doubt that for a second). I did actually say to my mate at the start of the second half that coles and murray were having a couple of words with one of their players and it looked like it was going to kick off.....

Longacre_red Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 ye, the only 'good'(if you can call it that) reason for plat hitting him, is if butler was racist, in which case deserved the 'beating' and should never play for city ever again!

tower crane red Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 speaking to alan walsh after the game he said it was a unprovoked attack and that butler does not want to press charges,but why not if butler as AW said was unprovoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Surely with seven teeth missing he would have said " I do not wiss to presh chargesh." ← brilliant. I think that Butler is the true professional and has been around long enough to know whats right or wrong. If it was unprovoked and also has been witnessed by the fourth official, I think Platt will at home now wondering how long a ban he will get.
