Taken out of context if you actually listen to his interview today. I was peeved when I heard these comments late this afternoon, but upon hearing the actual interview, his words were quite different. What he actually said is that the umpires need to control the game and that they should not have let the incidents between Baker and Johnson get to the point they did. Finals are important and both players are crucial to their respective teams and they cannot afford to lose either of them.

The media have put their own spin on this story. Hell, much more interesting than the actual facts though........LOL

Yes I read it that he was just saying what RL said at the time, ie the umpires could have prevented it by stepping in and neither would have been reported.

One would think that...

But did it work for the Blues on Friday night?
