Row rumbles on as Glasgow Rocks owner hits out at 'belligerent' Everton Tigers coach - the Glaswegian

GLASGOW ROCKS owner Ian Reid has hit out at Everton Tigers coach Tony Garbelotto after his antics following their recent visit to the Kelvin Hall.
As reported on the Glaswegian's website at the time, Garbelotto, pictured, indulged in an hysterical touchline display of referee intimidation and bullying of a university student who was taking photographs of the game as part of a work experience programme.
Reid, writing in last Sunday's programme notes, took issue with Garbelotto's filthy behaviour and at the referees who he felt were influenced by the Tigers coach in Everton's narrow 88-87 BBL Trophy victory.
He wrote: "In the...game, the Everton coach is belligerent and bellicose throughout, ankle deep in profanities aimed at the referees, our volunteers, his players and our cameraman.
"He walks on court with impunity (we have the film) and he has to be held back from confronting the referees when things were not going his way.
"The Rocks' percentage stats were superior to Everton's. So how did we lose?
"Turning point was the Everton coach's half-time rant at the officials and in the second half, we went to the (free-throw) line seven times and they went 23 times and go on to win by one (point).
"The game was won by the Everton coach and the influence his presence had on the game. Good coaching? You decide."
Reid also went on to add that the standard of refereeing has been a long concern to the Rocks.
He added: "Uneven foul calling is not a unique experience to us - it's been on going week after week, season after season.
"The RSJ inserted under the scoreboard in the close season has arrested it tilting to the left under the weight of the (foul call) lights.
"We have got used to seeing the homes side lit up like George Square at Christmas while the away side shows an occasional glimmer in the darkness much like Clydebank during the blitz."


deffo sounds like a goodfella to me.
 

from the same rag....

ON-COURT antics aside, a nastier edge to Everton Tigers coach Tony Garbelotto revealed itself with a heated verbal exchange with a photographer after the Merseysiders had beaten the Rocks 88-87.

The snapper in question - a work experience student - was treated to a volley of profane invective over what turned out to be a mere issue of temporarily blocking the coach's view earlier in the game.

A simple "out of the way", you would have thought, would have been sufficient but regardless of whether or not Garbelotto had a legitimate issue, there is no excuse for such filthy behaviour.

His assistant Henry Mooney offered his profound apologies to the photographer on Garbelotto's behalf but really it is the Everton coach himself who should be doing this.

After all, a coach as experienced as Garbelotto should know better then to trash-talk with a student.


glaswegians complaining about swearing ?

next up, Rafael complains about premier league spending in the transfer market.

love the assistants name as well btw, 'coach see's his arse' is a headline waiting to be written
