LOL.

Sharknows and emetic, let me know if you want to borrow a shovel.

You seem to be wearing yours out.

Well, while he's thinking about it, you can answer mine !!! :?

maybe salaried staff? but even if it is $50 an hour i still don't think the direct cost per beer would be more than a dollar (there was 4 people in there pouring beers constantly with the triple beer tap, i would say they were clearing more than 200 beers an hour), my $1 per beer to pour it was very generous, and hence my argument still stands.

i'm not saying, or have i said that it is right to deliberately ruin a fence, but it was an accident, underdesigned fence, and the profits from the group who contributed to the accident outweigh the costs of the outcome.

It was a pretty stupid question. I'd like to see plenty of supporters at every game. As long as they don't celebrate the wrecking of public property.

Do you want to see drunken yobbbos justifying their vandalism because they 'paid' for it' with beer drinking?

Word of advice, don't use the beer dollars 'logic' on your next compo claim.

Suffice to say, the relevance of your point is only matched by your grip on reality.

The last time I went to your Leagues club you cut up one of our jumpers and gutlessly beat up one of our former players . Is that your idea of welcome ?

No I didn't!

i'm sure the group was celebrating the narrow victory over long term rivals

vandalism is deliberate, there was no way that fence breaking was a deliberate act from sharks supporters

why would i make a compo claim?

i'm glad you think my post is very relevant then, and it obviously is as the title is "who foots the bill", i have explained how the bill can be footed.

"wrecking" " trashing" "malicious damage" etc etc

All extremely subjective terms in an attempt to infer that the fans on the fence there waiting for their team to come over deliberately pushed the fence over. And all totally wrong terms for the situation.

We are lucky, the game is lucky that thankfully no one was hurt and that this debate is simply about sour grapes Drag'in fans being upset at losing and taking their anger and directing towards opposing fans at the game, fair enough.

However I think Willows personal distaste at the event is based on past issues with the CSSC and his rather transparent accusations and attacks in this thread should be read with suitable portions of grains of salt keeping that in mind.

If anyone has any doubts about motive or intent when judging the fence collapse incident then there is plenty of clear cut evidence on video as shown by fox ( which also clearly shows rather a few more than "20 odd" people as claimed in this thread ( funny how you over exagerate hugely when describing the actions of the sharks fans on the fence, yet totally under-play the size and numbers of the sharks fans in that corner of the ground which totally outnumbered the Drag'in army numbers at the northern end...........but hey, don't let bias get in the way of a good story))

Sure......

You seem to be quite in agreement when others were celebrating the property damage.

Scummer: It was f**ken fun. Go to the ground, sing, drink watch footy and go on a bit of a rampage.
emetic: "here here"

What do you do for afters? Throw house bricks off the overpass?

why don't you show the rest of the quote about the passion showed by fans being the best he had seen. thats what the here here was to.

you have a problem of only reading what you want to read don't you willow.

Probably a bit like a Drag'in fan going for a beer in the city.................

Had no intention of maliciously damaging the poop tube of a non english speaking male dancer that he met at a pub in Oxford street, but after the event, looked back and thought " well it was bloody fun"

No intent there, but hey, accidents happen !

We presume the alleged victim of the Alleged attack was a scummer ?

Geez... is that paranoia or your own sense of self importance at work here?

Don't put words into my mouth.

I already said that I didnt know which supporters group it was. Someone else mentioned it.

For all I know it might have been one of the sharks supporter groups that come and go. Have they all run off to a monastry? I have better things to do than keep up with political machinations of shire supporters.

Read back and see if you can find where I fingered CSSC (post #41 is your key). Then post your retraction.

I've not gone anywhere mate, and there's no need for a retraction of any kind.

I think your attack is due to your past history and that your bagging the CSSC is a sly dig at some get back. I'm entitled to express my opinion, and that's my opinion.

Sorry you didn't get the 2 pts last night, but your feeble attempts at painting the fence collapse as some kind of despicable act is purile and transparent.

I thought they'd jumped the fence and hence was pissed off with the security and police for allowing them free reign when they should have been beating them back and detaining.

But seeing the fence break and them fall on the news was quite funny.

The game clearly means a lot more to the Cronulla team then it does ours. I'd say Stuart has drilled it into them as when the final whistle went about half the Scum team threw their arms in the air and where celebrating big time. The kind of thing that you'd normally be embarrassed to do if you'd just held out against 12 men, but not if those 12 belong to your biggest rival*.

*From a Scum perspective.

I think you're spot on there Carlton.

Wins mean sh*t loads to us, we haven't had as many as your team over the years. I like that Stuart has instilled such a sense of worth on every two points , something we havent had in the past. So yeah, we carried on , we were relieved, i think the players were too and it showed, we've dropped a few games this season at the death after leading and that the boys hung on against a fired up and gutsy 12 man Dragon team was bloody pleasing. IF the dragons hadnt showed up and hadnt put it to us I doubt the same joy would have been displayed. But it was very very hard to get those two points last night and it showed.
