Wow.
So, what happens next?
How many games are left in this qualifying series? Will the whole thing be called off when FIBA decides that half the Phillipines team needs to be suspended?
Anyone watch the whole game?

The flopper strikes again. Dang it was so good he fooled kickert.
Many things to talk about here. Firstly goulding will think twice about flopping which is a good thing for basketball because like joel selwood both players objective is try to draw a free kick or foul rather than going for the ball.
Kickert should be banned for life. If a footy player did that he would get a year suspension. Kickert should get a life ban for inciting a riot.
Other than that I don't think any other player from either team should be suspended but both national teams should be banned from competing for years I don't care who the countries are.
The phillipino officials who were fighting the aussie players should have criminal charges brought against them as well as being banned for life from basketball.
That takes care of fiba punishments but now lets look at what basketball australia will do. If our cricketers were banned for 12 months for organising to rub the ball with sandpaper then basketball australia should ban the aussie players involved for life no questions.
Lastly this is the risk you take when you go to uncivilized countries which are lawless and the people don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Countries like australia should never go to 3rd world poor countries with no laws.
^Anon, you moron, Sellwood is a ball player who gets whacked in the head every game he plays, comparing him to Goulding only exposes how stupid you are! If you want to compare him to a football player just use the recent comical dive from Rance of Richmond or any old footage of the Velvet Sledgehammer from Essendon. Plenty of floppers and divers out there but your ignorance and lack of knowledge in the difference between courage and flopping is remarkable.
Obviously a cut up geelong fan who was expecting more from his poor team this year. Selwood tries to draw a free kick in every situation and is not a ball player at all.
^Obviously a moron who knows nothing about football.

Anyone who says Joel Selwood isn't a ball player probably believes Chris Goulding isn't a three point shooter.
"Selwood lad ball player who draws frees from little man syndrome, Rance lad definite Goulding (more so tho when ball is dead which is plus). With any luck DJ lad may now get a run
What?
I can. Unfortunately inserting "lad" into random spots in a sentence is not English.

I haven't posted on this site for many years but this issue brought me out of the wilderness...
Goulding needs to be sanctioned for his flopping. That started it.
Kickert needs a massive suspension. Do that to anyone in the street and you get your teeth knocked out
Finally, Phillipines needs a 2 year ban from any Basketball
"Rance lad definite Goulding (more so tho when ball is dead which is plus)"
yep, great english!
LV learn to find the correct thread next time instead of posting a new one. Looks at what you have created!

If you cant understand anything, dont comment then. Rance tends to flop more when ball is dead. Cant see what so hard to understand comment. All youre doing is trolling. Good luck at school today

Kickerts the only Australian who landed a punch.
Will Deng get suspended for throwing some Karate kicks that hit no-one?
There needs to be allowed an element of self defense here. If you have 10 men charging at you you, are entitled to defend yourself. This is what Deng was doing while Goulding was getting bashed by 20 people.
The Filipinos who ran in of the bench throwing punches from behind, need to be suspend from whatever "bush" league they play in.
probably meant Majok Deng which is mildly racist considering they are referring to Thon Maker
That is not "mildly racist" whateve the hell that means.

Whatever you think of Goulding - no one deserves to be bashed by a gang - stomped on and punched in the head by multiple people - anyone involved in that part should be banned from international competition. And also the man caught on camera punching Sobey in the face.
Disgusting behaviour.

And the guy in the white shirt with the chair is an assistant coach!?
You can also just catch the moment where Sobey gets punched in the face, just after the chair is thrown at him the first time.
@ Taylor
And kickert?
P.s if, and big if (so no offense hey), your goulding comment is directed towards likes of me, strawman if ever there was

I have worked with a lot of Flippers over the years.
At the risk of generalising, one of the weird things I have observed about them, is that they only have two settings:
Serenely Peaceful and Aggressively Angry.
What varies between individuals, is the amount of time spent in each state, and the ease with which they transition.
Many of them also have a giant chip on their shoulder and are easily antagonised by anything they perceive as Western Arrogance.
Not excusing their over-reaction in any way, but maybe explaining a little of how it happened.
Finally! someone with a good old fashioned racial stereotype to get to the bottom of this

WTF was Maker trying to do? Couldn't land a kick if he tried...Pretty embarrassing stuff by both teams but entertaining just watching Maker.
