Khod Hand Investigation

What Phil Gould actually said/meant (translated version):

"I love all the post-try celebration stuff. I love the way the media gets distracted by it. I love the way the players react to the fans the way they potentially offend fans. When you score a try against the Bulldogs, celebrate with your teammates, and make sure to bring the carry on. Because, if you want to promote all that and do all that, then you're going to get this sort of stuff, where the media actually forgets about us losing to the 3-time wooden spooners on the back of signing the greatest kid I’ve ever seen, but never actually met and parachuting him into the team going 4/7 wins compared to the 10/12 without him. "


"I like post-try celebrations. I like players running up to the crowd and celebrating, because that distracts everyone from the teams performance," he said. “The league will deal with this (Tigers incident) and no one will remember the game itself. So, if you keep wanting to promote that stuff…particularly in the rain, it muddies what everyone sees and this is what it's going to lead to."

You are all very welcome.
 
What a nark.

Phil Gould criticises promotion of post-try celebrations​

Speaking on the 'Six Tackes with Gus' podcast this week, Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould said the NRL only has itself to blame for the over-promotion of post-try celebrations. That's despite 'Try July' – an NRL/Sportsbet initiative which encourages players to perform animated routines after scoring - raising close to $2 million for various causes since its inception in 2020.

Gould said: "I hate all the post-try celebration stuff. I hate the way we encourage it and promote it. I hate the way we promote the way the players react to the fans. When you score a try, celebrate with your teammates. I don’t like all that (carry on). But if you want to promote all that and do all that, then you're going to get this sort of stuff."


Gould did not mention Try July by name, but added: "I don’t like post-try celebrations. I don’t like players running up to the crowd and celebrating, because that leads itself to whatever you’re going to get," he said. The league will deal with this (Tigers incident). But if you keep wanting to promote that stuff… you want the rain, you better put up with the mud. This is what it's going to lead to."

Is there anything that Mr Gould is not a self-professed expert in?
About football?
About life?
About anything?
 
You've not read my post correctly judging by your response. Including my sarcastic dig at your occupation.

No idea as usual.
weststigers...if your aim is genuine dialogue with @Bus 2 Terrigal , then lines like "no idea as usual" and sarcastic digs at someone's occupation, whatever it may be, don't help.

They don't clarify your pov, they just cloud it.
He has raised points worth discussing, and you reducing it to a personal swipe undermines meaningful conversation.

We should be able to disagree without resorting to condescension.
 
Gould is quite cranky these days ..always complaining about a sport that has employed him all his adult life and literally paid him 10 million plus
He thinks he owns the sport.
He has contempt for the administration, the judiciary, the media and the fans.
His revisionist history is pathetic.
The bloke is they worst thing in the code and the sooner he disappears the better.
