Me = Punched Up!

[Mat]

Guys, I came back from the tribunal last night with some good news, and then some not so good.
I will start with the good news:

Good News:

The good news is all the Warnbro players who punched me and attended the tribunal all pleaded guilty and have coped 2 week suspensions. The Aboriginal guy who punched me never showed up though.

I have also been cleared to play this week in football, unfortunately that comes with a catch!

Bad News:

Well after waiting 1 and 1/2 hours in a chair whilst my spokesman and Vice President talked to the tribunal board, he came back and told me that the umpire who issued the report never showed up. They rang him up to find out where he was, and he was sitting down watching the T.V. and he had lost the umpires report. The spokesman asked for the case to be thrown out, but I have to attend the tribunal AGAIN next Tuesday.

If the umpire doesn't show his face, the case should be thrown out. And I found out what I was reported for. I apparently struck someone. I can't remember me doing that, my dad said he thought the saw me swing a punch but I don't know. I hope I didn't.
And Droid, for some reason, in Australian Football the laws just don't seem to come into effect. If a player punches another player, we don't even think about sueing.

Oh man.

Bad news at first.


But now, if the case is trown out, you don't get any suspension right?

Well good luck with your case.

[qonnen]

very strange indeed
so the TV is more important than a tribunal?
I hope you win and teach everyone a lesson not to punch you again!

That's right. I hope I play good tomorrow, it could possibly be my last game in a while, but I don't know. I hope they believe me, the truth and let me off, but I really can't be completely certain of anything.
