The pre-78 solo protest.

[Wombat]

F*ck me - SIX PAGES!! Anyone here watch European soccer?
I do, and it's embarrassing and tedious to watch the Players surround the Ref and dispute the decision when he penalises the 'rule breaker'.
They're not going to change his mind, he's made his decision according to the rules. 
But on and on they go... harp, rant, rave, whinge, bitch, moan, groan and carry on!!

Look, the opposing camps are obviously divided on this pre '78 protest saga and I can see both sides - no really, I can.
But if you think the rules need amending, if they're too bloody anal and pedantic  - then have a go at changing them.
Put forward your proposed amendments and see how you go.
But right here and now the rules are what they are.

This drama shows why we have a rule book. The protest was considered, the Gurus checked and the protest was upheld.
Seriously, what's done is done and it's been done as per the current set of GCR's.

I'm looking forward to the Qld titles in a coupla weeks time...

Nicely put Wombat. Let's move on.
