I hope you are. The drone activity in question was expressly, explicitly prohibited by not only competition rules but also civil aviation rules. Youre genuinely stupid and morally deficient if you think that, sorryFitzy
Am I the only one who honestly doesn’t care that much about the drone thing? Not in a ‘it was bad but she’s done her time’ kind of way, more in a it wasn’t actually that big of a deal kind of way. Seems to me she’s been made a scapegoat for a practice that was pretty widespread and which honestly doesn’t seem to give teams an enormous advantage anyway. Not that I’m ensuring the behaviour necessarily, it’s just that it doesn’t quite feel right to label it an integrity offence when this feels very different to (for example) match fixing.
It’s a moot point given she’s done her time now. The main thing for today is that this is a bloody good, and quite remarkable, appointment for a club like ours. Great to see.
Edit: she also tried to lie her way out of it and throw her subordinates under the bus after it was discovered. What she did wasn't unforgiveable and I don't resent her and am quite happy she is now our coach but what she was complicit in was very seriously wrong and she was very appropriately punished
FFS Talk about an over reaction "Youre genuinely stupid and morally deficient if you think that, sorry" Certainly hope neither you or any of your family ever make a mistake that requires some level of compassion or forgiveness. Pretty obvious from her press conference it has affected her deeply. Your kidding if you think it has had any lasting affect on any of the Kiwis involvedFitzy

I dont often disagree with you my man, but on "drone-gate" you're way off. This was an intentional breach of the rules, she and her team cheated! Pure and simple. There was no mistake! It was totally planned and proven to be something they'd done before. Dont get me wrong, I'm happy she's here and with us, because, despite a slightly questionable moral compass she's a brilliant coach with the results to back that up! I just hope those results were genuinely gained so our ladies can benefit from her knowledge.
