Gus Gould's take on the Latrell incident is getting him pilloried

By The Roar / Editor

Fans aren’t happy with Gould’s use of the ‘if you haven’t played the game’ argument in defence of Latrell Mitchell.

Hey Gus, I don't have to have played the game to identify Latrell Mitchell as a problem. This last incident should be enough for people to say, GET RID OF HIM. While we are at it, it may be time to get rid of some of the prehistoric attitudes no longer wanted in todays game. I'm looking at you, Gus

I hate the "you haven't played" argument. I've watched a lot of football and am entitled to my opinion. In some ways, views of impartial, non-involved observers are more insightful than those of insiders, who can be too close to things happening in the game. Anyway, Gould's argument is astonishingly arrogant. If he doesn't think fans are entitled to express valid opinions, let me know and I'll cease being a fan

I normally don't watch the post game stuff, knowing it will be dribble. But was interested to hear what Robinson had to say. I was right, it was dribble. I turned off straight after they showed Robinson, any longer watching and I would have spewed.

Gus has disgusted me with his viewing this. I usually have time time for his view but he isn't seeing what others see. Nor does Wayne Bennett in this case.

Big mig lost the plot when he was conceived. He is proof pudding of the dangers of drinking while pregnant.

You’ve lost the plot if you truly believe Gus is the voice of reason.

Most value Gould and Gal's opinion more than the ignorant and outraged over the top comments i am reading here on the Roar, Gus is the voice of reason.

Except it looks worse in real time Gus. Is the camera now lying?

Unbelievable. 1)It was a shoulder charge, followed by 2) A swinging arm and 3) It was high causing 4)A broken jaw. Its crystal clear. Most fans have "never played the game" but we watch it and essentially pay for it. We demand action. There is no place for this in the game or the commentary on it from the so called experts.

Unsurprising dribble from Gould. He's been consistent in his belief that stars shouldn't be suspended and that fines are preferable. It's a criminally dangerous position to take. He would condone weaponry on the park if it was a star player holding it.

Gould's haven't played the game argument. Well Gus, you don't have to be a chef to criticize the cooking.

Fortunately for everyone else Gould's 'defense' doesn't work in a judiciary

I guess the folks who are giving Mitchell a 6 - 9 week holiday have never played the game and/or don't think much of Gould's argument.
