Lets get a few facts correct shall we.
Regarding the incident with Beaulieu. Blake Knox incited Beaulieu
by spearing him with a stick. Beaulieu retalitated. At the point the linesman
intervened and held Beaulieu with his arms pinned to his sides. Blake Knox took the
opportunity to get 2 or 3 good punches in at the point with Beaulieu unable to defend
himself,the linesmans was not sure what to do at this point. It was only when another
Steeler came to his defence that the linesman let go. The video replay even appears to show one of Knox's punches
landing on the linesman. It was also Nottingham who cleared the bench first.
Until Sunday the Steelers had one of the lowest penalty counts of ISL. We also have 6 trophies to our name, so yes we
do have a team that is "mostly hockey orientated".
