Poor Kingy has been fined $5,000 for saying what we were all thinking
http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,865 ... l?from=rss
MELBOURNE Storm centre Matt King has been slugged with a $5000 fine for publicly ridiculing NRL grand final referee Paul Simpkins this week.
Addressing a contingent of Storm supporters as part of the club's fan day on Monday, an intoxicated King called Simpkins a "dickhead" after the whistleblower's handling of the controversial 15-8 premiership victory by Brisbane.
"As everyone knows, Paul Simpkins is a dickhead," King said.

to be expected - right or wrong (in this case right), you still can't say that

Yes Kingy was right, but maybe if he said.
"Yes, Brisbane are premiers,
But
Really
Only
Number1
Cos
Of
Simpkins"

Although every1 here agrees with him. He knows he can't say that, but what he could have done was get any1 else there up on stage and asked them what they thought of simpkins. Then just agree when the person says what he said

I returned to work and was dreading it because I thought everybody would be stirring about the Storm getting beaten, WELL wasn't I wrong, every single person voiced their disgust at how the boys were shafted by the referees, even the one eyed Bulldogs supporter who serves me my coffee in the McDonald's drive thru was clearly disgusted!
Matty was only stating what everybody knows and far worse has been said since Sunday night!
Onya Matty, and I reckon if everybody put in $5 the fine would be well and truly paid!

Why should Steve Bracks or Storm supporters pay the fine, Simpkins should pay coz if it wasn't for him stuffing up then Kingy would not have said it.

I'd seriously consider this but the only option I know of is a Paypal account which has some fees attached. If people are serious about donating to a "Kingy's a Legend" fund, perhaps the club can give us their bank account details for deposits.
