Have just spent half an hour on the phone with Pete in Miami and this is what he had to say:
"After the game I wanted to speak to the head judge, so I asked a ref if I could go on the field. The ref said yes so I entered the field and walked toward the head judge. As I walked past the Rage deadbox they began screaming at me, telling me to fuhk myself and so on. I responded verbally and spat on the floor, at which point one Rage player left the deadbox and ran toward me. I defended myself by grabbing hold of him to stop him hitting me and I had to head-butt him to keep him away, at which point four other Rage players came out, surrounded me and basically started punching and kicking me as I held on to the guy who first went to attack me. This lasted I suppose between 30 seconds and a minute before the refs pulled the Rage players off me.
Those 5 guys couldn't even put me down on my ass which just about says it all as far as I'm concerned; I offered to meet them one at a time after the event had finished but not one of them accepted my invitation, surprise surprise :/
"I regret the incident and with hindsight I probably shouldn't have gone on the field; however, I did ask permission from a ref before I entered the playing area. I fully accepted the punishment given to me by the NPPL and as far as I'm concerned the matter is finished.
"Fortunately for me, the entire incident was videotaped, so anyone who believes internet reports about me starting the fight, going into the Rage deadbox, or any of the other rubbish that's been posted on various websites, need only look at the video. n addition to this, reports of me having any broken bones or serious injuries are similarly false - I'm absolutely fine."
