– He has crossed the line and made a mistake, says Norway’s national team manager Thorir Hergeirsson to news. There has been a storm around Vipers Kristiansand after sales and marketing manager Christer Paulsen wrote “ho fat på Byåsen” in a Facebook comment. Photo: Skjermdump / Facebook Norway’s handball profiles at the national team meeting have caught on to the incident. Hergeirsson says that he knows Paulsen well. – I have had good relations with Christer through the work he has done in Vipers for a long time. He has done a wonderful job, but he has made a mistake. What was done is unacceptable, says the national team manager. Reistad: – That’s not how you make Byåsen goalkeeper Lipman admit to news that the comments affected her. – The first five days afterwards felt like five weeks, said Lipman. After the match against Vipers last week, the Byåsen goalkeeper was greeted by a standing ovation. The former Vipers goalkeeper greatly appreciated that. – It was very fun and very nice to get it. It’s always fun to come here, she said. OUR SHELF: Annick Lipman. Photo: Tor Erik Schrøder / NTB Paulsen first responded to the comment by saying that he had been hacked, before afterwards he laid completely flat and admitted to lying. – To the individual concerned, to Vipers, to Byåsen, to the referees, to supporters and supporting players, to all of Handball-Norway: Sorry. Pardon. Sorry, said Paulsen. Norway’s national team star Henny Reistad calls the incident “unfortunate”. – It is not a good thing. You shouldn’t do that, anyway. At least not in the public media, says Henny Reistad to news. NOT GOOD: Meiner Esbjerg player Henny Reistad. Photo: Beate Oma Dahle / NTB Aardahl: – Mistakes also afterwards Vipers have had to endure harsh criticism from both experts and their own sponsors for both the comment and how Paulsen and the club have handled the situation afterwards. The sales manager, who is now on sick leave, was punished with a written warning for the harassment and lying, and was allowed to keep his job. – It is a serious breach of trust, but it is not so serious that it has consequences for the working relationship. A joint board has accepted Christer’s apology, said daily manager Per Geir Løvstad. REGRETS: Christer Paulsen in Vipers, who wrote the Facebook comment. Photo: Liv Eva Welhaven Løchen / news – I feel that they could do a little more. I’m not saying he should lose his job, but it could perhaps have been a little stricter. But it’s not up to me, said Lipman. National team player Maren Aardahl is not a big fan of the incident that has affected Handball-Norway in the last month. – I think it was unfortunate and he has clearly realized that he has made a mistake. The way he handled it afterwards was also wrong. But he has also expressed that he is aware of that, says Aardahl. PS!
