Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
He's had this to say outside court.
Outside the court, the paid-up Bulldogs’ fan said he was stranded in Brisbane because friends had taken all his identity papers when he was arrested.
‘‘Mr Fevola came over to the fence and started abusing the Bulldogs’ supporters,’’ Davey said.
‘‘Jonathan Brown had just kicked a goal ... and instead of running back down the ground Mr Fevola ran over and started gobbing off at the Western Bulldogs’ (fans).
‘‘I shouldn’t have done what I did, I accept that.’’
Davey said he could not remember what was said, but some fans were ribbing Fevola about his admitted gambling addiction.
‘‘I got a lot of beer tipped over me by Brisbane supporters, but the police didn’t seem to worry about that,’’ Davey said.
Police had told him Fevola had pointed him out as the beer-thrower.
‘‘I actually thought they were just going to throw me out of the ground, I didn’t think I’d be strip-searched and thrown in the cells and all that," he said.
‘‘I don’t think me (sic) wife will be too happy.’’
As to an apology to Fevola, Davey declined the opportunity.
‘‘He gobbed off at me and I threw some beer at him, I think that’s a fair exchange,’’ he said.
‘‘I don’t talk to idiots.’’
For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
