Wanderers fans at it yet again!

A MOBILE phone video allegedly showing a gang of Western Sydney Wanderers fans belting into a lone Newcastle Jets supporter after Saturday’s game has emerged on Facebook.

The 12-second clip shows about a dozen people crowded around and punching into a man with a top or jacket pulled at least partly over his head, restricting his movement.

Even so, he defends himself to the point where the crowd scatters as a woman yells at them to stop.

On his Facebook page, the man who posted the video says he ‘‘just got f...king rolled by 15 blokes by the WSW justwalking along the street in Sydney’’.

‘‘Bit of a shock but got away with just a couple of bruised eyes and a fat lip. Good times!! NOT!!,’’ he wrote.

The clip was uploaded at about 9pm on Saturday night and had been viewed more than 6800 times by 11am on Sunday.

There would be plenty more to it. The merkin probably had a big mouth and was talking shit, you don't get rolled by 15 merkins for no reason.

Throw the Wanderers out of the League! and give a $1000 fine to every man, woman and child who's ever been to one of their matches!

So someone "having a big mouth and talking shit" is an excuse for a group of cowardly f**kers to set on him?

f**king please, grow up.

Well said I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't think anyone is condoning what happened to this bloke Tim

I was merely pointing out that antagonising a group of opposing fans at a sporting fixture is likely to have an adverse affect on one's wellbeing

 

[Mr Angry]

Did not know where to post this....

Is anybody watching them???

Was flicking through channels

Looks a shyte ground, very soggy.

 

[WireMan]

So 15 hooligans attack a lone fan and the lone fan not only got away with just a few bruisers and a boo boo on his lip he scatters them?

:lol:

Aussie hooligans are just an insult to hooligans the world over.

 

[God-King Dean]

Because that's something to be proud of.

 

[WireMan]

Because that's something to be proud of.

I don't think anyone is proud of any part of this story.

Except maybe one guy from Newcastle who managed to fight of 12 of Sydney softest.

Yeah, because soccer-androtops don't start random acts of violence unprovoked ever do they?

Moron.

Seriously, the entire sport of soccer is emphatically un-Australian.

 

[Jimbo]

If that's what I'd said, you might have been justified in getting all pre-menstrual about it

Moron.

Sticks and stones...

 

[strong_latte]

That was the implication of assuming "there's more to it".

Funny though - gotta love 15 on 1.... that's pretty well the soccer fan mentality in a nutshell.

 

[Jimbo]

That was the implication of assuming "there's more to it".

You don't think it's at all possible that this bloke might not have just been standing there minding his own business?

 

[strong_latte]

I reckon when you've got 15 on 1 it tells you all you need to know about the situation.

 

[Jimbo]

Fair enough

I disagree though

 

[saint.nick]

I can't believe a Wanderers fan tried to assault a player he supports...no wait, I take that back. I can believe it.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Wanderers are a product of their geographic audience. Nothing more. I'm honestly surprised Bankstown is still standing after all these years

Fans are great when things are going well but geez, look at them now
