Darren Parkin (Sainter and SEN commentator) bashed

Post: # 1358505Post saintspremiers »

Read something horrible on my Facebook.

Darren Parkin, who used to post regularly on the forum but doesn't now he works for SEN, has been randomly bashed at Cranbourne train station last night.

Thankfully he's recovering ok with 12 stitches in his head and fractured arm.

On behalf of the forum community, I wish him a speedy and good recovery.

GO SAINTS!

Oh that's awful.

He's the all night guy isn't he?

Best wishes, how scary. :(

I'm from Cranbourne and that just gives me one more reason not to travel by train, particularly at night.
Don't know Darren as I am only new on here, but I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that they catch the mongrels who did this to him!!

Just to clarify, it's actually his hand.

Police have CCTV footage thankfully, hoping that this low life is found quickly.

Being as its the middle of the night in Oz when I get up in the mornings I tune in on the SEN app and check out the All Night Appetite program which I always find fantastic and Darren is very good at his job and was always a nice bloke to boot. Shame that a low life c**k sandwich has done that to him. I hope they catch whoever did it asap

There was a grab of him on the 7.00 news on SEN. Sounded like he was coping OK but it must have been a terrifying experience for him.

All the best, Darren !!

I agree Mullet, he's a very good sports commentator. Does his research on many sports and is well rounded.
I like listening to him. Moreso than his Dad :-)
All the best Darren.
People need to be more accountable these days. If they catch them it should be jail, no CBO.
