Wouldn't his brother fit into the supporter category?

I thought they were all Blues fans.

I think BJ just showed a little poor judgement to do it where and when he did I have no problem with him supporting and helping rehabilitate his brother, but to all the parents who have lost children to drugs I think it was in bad taste.

If I had a sibling in jail for something like that, - and no one is more anti drugs than me- I'd still try to be supportive during their 10 long years in jail . It's not an attempt to justify his brother's crimes, or defy the legal system , or anything offensive to the public.

well said. i dont see how it is offensive to law enforcement. they got their man. cuffed him and locked him up. hes doing his time. that noel guy is really pushing the envelope. its just something he did for his brother, who im sure got a real kick out of it.

Didn't bother me in the slightest. Tim Cahill did it. Michael Gardiner did it. Others have done it. Meh.

The way I see it Goddard did the wrong thing from a team point of view, I don't like showboating (even though this was very very mild) and IMO it tells me he had more than just the match on his mind.

As for the social ramifications I just think they are completely insignificant.

Yes his brother is clearly a wanker for doing what he did, but does that mean his brother shouldn't support him? if your brother was thrown in jail would you just cut them off, pretend they don't exist? of course not, you would go visit them, talk to them on the phone and support them in any way you can.

The message was fine, but there's a time and a place, I don't expect to see it again.
