Quote ="ladyref"Worried is not the word however I am always happy to see anyone who thinks that abusing match officials is OK get their just deserts. I'd hate to think that you were condoning his actions but then again maybe it's just a case of standards.'"

It has nothing to do with England it has everything to do with this man's actions and his abuse of the officials. The man is an absolute disgrace and has brought the good name of our sport and the Australian team into disrepute.
Anyone condoning such behaviour is no better than he is and that really is bad form.'"
