'Mikey' as he is known too friends and foe has refused to comment on the incident leaving all public relations up to his manager. In a brief statement his manager confirmed that the incident took place and that Robinson was deeply regretful about the brutal attack which forced the Victorian Cricket Association to cut his contract short leaving him once again on the outer of representative cricket after having been cut from the under 14 WGCA rep site in the late 90's for being intoxicated at training and over staying a curfew set by the league. Eye witnesses have seen their hero 'Mikey' at several pubs in the outer east since his public humilation.
