What is your opinion on the way he and the committee have handled it? Of course it was the right decision he had to go language like that is not acceptable especially from someone holding a position like he did. Unfortunately there are no winners in this issue, the West Region could have handled it better as one of the committee should have addressed it right away as soon as it was said, and then spoke to Mr Robertson after the meeting offering him the chance to resign. The Robertson haters and that’s what it was didn’t cover themselves in glory either as none of them who attended the meeting said anything at the time, and couldn’t wait to run to the papers with it, some of the language used against him was appalling. Not any better than he used. Lessons to be learned by all I think -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy25 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Scott Robertson should have been put out too pasture years ago.An embarrassment and a relic from a bygone era.

It's like all your posts I struggle to make sense of them It made me think of the episode of father Ted where Father ted did the chinaman impression and was caught. A man from the village says I hear your a racist now father. Is this the churches position? I'm not sure i could give much time to.the old racism father. The sjfa version would be longtime lurker saying I hear your a racist now to scott Robertson. Is this the sjfa position.

The lack of challenge isn't the issue. It was a self inflicted wound that did the damage to an individual who was already unpopular.

Rochstar1920 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Has he though? Time to move on now that he has resigned the Association will go from strength to strength and all will be well with the world. The haters will need to look for someone else to hate. The president for Racist and Bigotted language has been sent so hopefully that will send a message to all member clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His language was unbecoming of a Secretary of The SJFA West Region & it is further disappointing as he is an ex policeman, who ought to know better. To the little bitchy delegates who gave the story to the papers; well done. Well done for bringing unnecessary attention to this matter which covers the region, it’s clubs and various individuals in absolute ****. Maybe you want to resign as well as Scott and go join an OAPs tea party where you can spread as much gossip as you like without there being consequences for football clubs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unnecessary attention. The only people covered in "absolute ****" as you put it are the man himself and the WRJFA for not immediately condemning his remark. "Unbecoming"? It was racism, pure and simple. The story will have been picked up from here (one of the quotes is directly lifted) and from social media. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I posted, nobody was big enough to challenge it and let it become someone else’s influence to to do the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try you're fellow mates on the committee first, Scott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
