Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
Tony Shaw also claimed Ray Shaw was contacted for comment before the article was published and said his name was not to be used in the story.bigcarl wrote: ↑Tue 25 Aug 2020 11:59amI agree.

Still Robbie would have a good chance of successfully defending any action but only an idiot sues someone with no money and I'm sure the ABC ran it past it's lawyers first.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
Filthy footballers, both the Shaw brothers. Tony was known for being a foul mouth on the footy field and yes, his brother for spitting. The younger generation isn't/wasn't much better.happy feet wrote: ↑Tue 25 Aug 2020 2:54pmI remember my Dad saying in the 1970’s that Ray Shaw was known in VFL circles as “The Spit”.

What else would you expect from the filth. I remember going to Filth park as a kid kitted up to be a mascot as clubs were wont to do in those days and being spat on by adult filth supporters. My hate to this day knows no bounds.
The absolute best day of my life was when we beat those shitbags by a point in the 1966 grannie.
My second best day came the year before when we beat those mongrels in the finals, also by a point. Can't remember if it was the prelim final or the second semi. Someone will know.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
IIRC the article stated that Muir was reported for striking Ray Shaw and he claimed at the Tribunal that Shaw spat on him.
If that is an accurate portrayal of what occurred (report and defense claim) then there is nothing to sue for - it's a historical fact.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
Didn’t the umpire say that there was a lot of spit flying around?
Didn’t Tony Shaw a few years ago speak about his regret of racist insults he used to upset indigenous players. I think he said it was “just the way things were then”.
A claytons apology if I ever heard one.

Ask a Collingwood supporter about it and they have no idea even the filth that frequented Vic Park back in the day will deny it saying all clubs were the same.
I went to all the grounds and never saw anything like what went on at Vic Park. Nothing changed at later venues.
They really are a $hit supporter base.
In a sense if the narrative gets hijacked by the clubs and individuals mentioned in the article and/or other media outlets see an opportunity to leverage from the ABC piece then that will be a shame.
It's not about Shaw or Geelong. Hopefully the ball keeps bouncing towards the goal.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
I agree - the key tenet early of the story was that Rob would help anyone in need out of the goodness of his heart but, when he needed help; it was pretty much just Coco and the tumbleweeds. My supreme dislike of Geelong has almost none to do with Rob, his story and his experiences - his recollections of that day merely re-affirmed my feelings towards them and their hick supporter base.Secret Kiel wrote: ↑Tue 25 Aug 2020 4:50pmHate breeds hate, I don't think that was Robs intention.

That sounds about right. Ray Shaw cannot decide that he is not to be mentioned in a report on a tribunal hearing that happened 40 years ago.Mr Magic wrote: ↑Tue 25 Aug 2020 4:38pmIIRC the article stated that Muir was reported for striking Ray Shaw and he claimed at the Tribunal that Shaw spat on him.

Re: Collingwood response re: Robbie Muir
I was standing in the outer at Victoria Park the day Robbie clocked Ray Shaw. It was in the vicinity of the Bob Rose stand, the members' on the opposite side, and Robbie was running towards the railway end and Shaw the opposite way. Robbie turned around and sprinted towards Shaw and laid one on him. I was told after the match Shaw was alleged to have spat at him. This incident, as well as Rene Kink being suspended for slagging at Jezza, became part of the Aussie vernacular as a "Collingwood Handshake". Similar to the headbutt known as The Liverpool Kiss.Enrico_Misso wrote: ↑Mon 24 Aug 2020 10:58pm"Shaw" is a four letter word!
Robbie was quite upfront when the Tribunal asked him why he punched Shaw; threw him straight under the bus. Robbie copped 4 weeks, Shaw got a pat on the back. Effen disgraceful. With the Kink / Jezza case, no punches thrown but Link copped 6. The difference between the two cases? Robert Muir.
Disgraceful.
