I remember the days when we all just knew we were getting the rough deal from the referees every time. But I do not recall any of our coaches getting carried away like that and talking conspiracy in post game pressers. Sounded like psycho-Babbel.
I think various nix coaches have commented on how tough we have it in the league - referencing referee decisions - but none have been mad enough to openly criticize the refs during a presser.
Rudan (to his credit I believe) openly talked when becoming Nix coach, of stamping out such talk. Saying in Aussie the Nix setup were seen as having a weak mentality, with a constant 'woe is us' outlook.
Haven't heard Talay criticising officials much yet (apart from maybe the Fenton 'handball' decision).
Would this be the same Rudan who prompted a protest by A League officials (the covering up the 'Respect' badge thing) after he wasn't punished for his comments about A League referees and refereeing in a post match press conference? That Rudan?
