Woodlands punishment
For walking off the pitch because they didn't like the ref and some of his decisions, Woodlands Wellington last night received their punishment. They were docked 6 points and various bods were fined a few bob!!!
For openly flouting the rules and conventions of a professional sport, for mocking the paying customer and treating with contempt the man charged with enforcing the rules and laws of the game Woodlands Wellington Football Club get a slap on the wrist!
Can they appeal and get it reduced I wonder?
At least we can put this story to bed but does the punishment fit the crime? What message does it send out about professionalism?
