Funny .. or what?

[Woodsie]

What is everybody's opinion of the security guard tackle ?

 

[jbb/james]

Im in the what camp.

Just some monkey wanting to make a name for himself by taking out someone prescious trying to make a name for herself

If that had been a copper , the noise would be deafening,

IF that isnt his x wife, i just dont see the need, joking

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

hard to say...
Part of me thinks they're plain disruptive ant-social & deserve whatever they get.
On the other hand, yes, more force was used than what's required.

Guess if she's bruised, then tough!
If permanently damaged (unlikely!) then I would feel a little sorry for her

 

[double hoops]

Its a nice tackle.

 

[Woodsie]

Its a nice tackle.

Yes, it was ... but I think old mate will regret it.

He was security, and no patrons were in danger, his actions were in my opinion out of all context with the circumstances ...

Looks to me like an ex player who just got carried away by testosterone performing in front of a crowd ..

If he was a bouncer on a door i think he would be in trouble.

 

[Eagle 1]

Its a nice tackle.

but not as good as the Copper who was doing an interview about a criminal on the loose, then stopped the interview, and then put on a copybook tackle on the crim who was on the run in front of him.

for sure, even in cases of self defence, excessive force is huuuge

No mention of how much grog was consumed before she did it.

Streaker speaks out after being crash tackled by ‘heavy-handed’ security guard

Javon Johanson interrupted the game between the Titans and the Eels, dodging one security guard before the second didn’t miss.

I'm not particularly sympathetic towards the girl because she did a pretty stupid & selfish thing & I think legally the security guard was within his rights to do what he did.

Was it overzealous? Yes, & I reckon old mate thought "you bewdy, I'm entitled to stop & remove any threat to the players safety so I've got carte blanche to smash her" but it's not like he coathangered her & she HAD already run away from one of the other guards so he was doing his job.

She either won't be as keen to invade another pitch or will work on her speed, step & body height instead of running upright towards security again.

The pitch invader at the Sharks game showed how easy it was to get close to the players with a lit flare so player safety could be an issue with these muppets.

 

[47MVEagle]

Also the Titans bloke claiming it was too heavyhanded is just covering his bases in case of public backlash IMO.

When you look at a wide shot she was a lot closer to Moses and the ref than I first thought. She got a way from one bloke and made a b line towards those two. Now, I think it was all reasonably innocent but he wasn't to know what her intentions were.

On a close up it looks a bit heavy handed, but on the wide shot he takes her out just before she got near Moses and the ref. That's ultimately his job.

 

[voicefromthehill]

Seems her significant other felt it was a problem. Also given she broadcast it before the moment I would suggest the attention seeker got exactly what she wanted, more attention

 

[Ranga]

I think it is fine - no issue. If it was a scrawny bloke who was on the receiving end, I reckon most would find it funny.

Also, from memory (it’s been a while…), a well executed tackle actually doesn’t hurt that much.

And, the one who should be hanging their head is the first security guard who missed her!

 

[Raven Mad Manly Fan]

Yes it was funny as.

The silly idiot got what she deserved. (She might think twice about pulling another stupid stunt next time!)

 

[The '47ers]

I read option #4 as "desexed"! Damn, I thought, must've been a huge hit 😳

 

[Disco]

It's tough because you dont want to hurt people but also security are there for a reason, remember Monica Seles...

They can be just assume people are out there for a harmless laugh. For mine if you end the field without authorisation then you have to be deemed a threat to player safety.

I'll preface that I am a hypocrite though as I was on the SCG after Buddy's 1000th

 

[Snake]

The whole thing was funny. Great entertainment for her to run on the field and great tackle. No one has suffered any lasting effects from the whole drama so we move on. Classic!

 

[double hoops]

She should have been made to play the ball.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Its a nice tackle.

Agree.
Got his head in the right position, driving through the tackle, shoulder to the midriff disengaging the attackers momentum…. I give it a 9/10

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Streaker ….Pfffft

Could of at least got her top off !!

It was however a little over the top ( pub intended ).
