Chris Gayle banned from ALL future Bash seasons.

[Lazza]

Sorry but this is YET AGAIN political Cuorrectness gone bloody mental. WHY cant these PC wankers get a balance between life and attempted humour? OK, so he was criticised, vilified, warned, fined 10k and was told in no uncertain terms that this type of banter no longer happens in the fun police run country of Australia. Point taken, albeit with a huge laugh.

But to BAN him from all future seasons??

WTF? Over reaction much by the femi nazi's and the skirt wearing man brigade?

Where is the old adage of giving all people a fair go, especially where such behaviour is regularly accepted and seen as a bit of halmless fun in countries like the West Indies and even Sri Lanka?

Please tell me my beloved Australia hasn't lost all it's sense of being a larrikin because in that case, I'm a dead larrikin walking....

I would like the players to refuse to do interviews on the ground in support of Gayle. Some football player will cop it over some remark . Just the sort of thing that Caro will use to link back to Swanny.

The banning of Gayle is because more serious allegations have been raised. He allegedly flashed a woman during the world cup and said do you want this?

[Jezza]

Gayle has denied this and is planning to sue Fairfax Media for defamation.

Another pox trial-by-media fiasco.
Judging by the reaction in the background from Gayle's team mates, it was obviously a set-up for laughs which he was put up to.

Girlfriend can pull her head in.
Maybe she will get the message when blokes stop approaching her.
F*cking Princess; get a sense of humour - they're free.
She has no actual people-skills to defuse such a situation.

The whole BB concept is hit&giggle by my perception.
And that goes for any interviews too.

If it was said off camera, then yes, it would have been sexual harassment.

Gayle is a Flog and Why would anyone want to play with him?

Ron, the last Collingwood vs. Essendon game at Vic Park was rnd.1, 1986.
Dixie didn't start with those flogs at ch.7 until 1988, after they regained the rights from the ABC at the end of 1987.
Could it have been another teams supporters harmonizing with us in the outer, singing old American folk tunes?

Was a while ago. Might have been the aints.

[piedys]

Mate, not meaning to labour the point, but i'm doubting the Aints; think we played them once in 1988 at Linton street, although we did host them in 1989 at Vic Park in a classic battle. I can't recall how long Dixie lasted though, until she vanished from our screens....
