The part you're talking about is at 4:15.

No I've never heard another player in a scrum shout out "shut up", use a curse word, and then ask everyone in the media, "have any of you played the game?" No, I have never seen that before. Then he engaged in a debate with Farhan, Farhan turned around to defend himself and Joe launched into his joke in front of everyone. I've never seen a situation like that.

What you said is not at all what happened. He at no point said he'd never heard the Canucks say something off colour. Your description is completely invented. The fact that you can persist in repeating your utter BS when there's VIDEO showing you're wrong is hilarious. |
Botchford says he's never seen a situation like that? Oh really? Would he be surprised that a situation like that has come up, in Vancouver and he wrote about it?
Here was an exchange between Duncan Keith and Karen Thomson:
Quote:
Keith: “What did you see?”
Thomson: “Well, there it looked like there was a penalty that went undetected. You seemed a bit frustrated.”
Keith: “Oh, no. I don’t think there was. I think he scored a nice goal, and that’s what the ref saw. Maybe we should get you as a ref maybe, hey?
Thomson: “Yeah, maybe. Can’t skate though.”
Keith: “First female referee. Can’t probably play either, right? But you’re thinking the game, like you know it? Seeya.”

And here's what Botchford wrote about it:
Quote:
In short, Keith was being a jackass playing his “you never played the game” card.
Would he have done it to a male reporter? Would he have done it to me?

Botchford might be able to get off on a technicality, being that Keith might not have been in a scrum, or he might not have used the words 'shut up'. Botchford was well aware that Keith said that Thomson hadn't played the game. If you are going to lie to the media on TSN, at least make sure someone can't find it by using Google for 30 seconds. What he said yesterday is patently false and shows us his true colours. I hope he gets fired.
