Are you suggesting people shouldn't be able to buy 4 beers?
Im suggesting that alcohol may play a part and it could be an avenue to explore. I have to say it pis*es me off people up and down back and forth to the bar during the game. Im there to watch the footy. Many arent. Maybe I should buy more expensive seats?

The fans are sending a message Gronky. They arent happy. It can either be ignored or addressed. Understanding why may well provide an opportunity to find an appropriate response or compromise. Of cause the other option is to do nothing and hope it goes away. Acknowledgement of peoples frustration would be a fair starting point. Of cause there will always be those that say. We are right, they are wrong so fu*k them.
OK so the boing of Jake is a necessary and unavoidable symptom of the problems at the club ?

I guess I respect you opinion, but IMO there is a line in the sand that should not be crossed.

If people could only buy 1 beer at a time they would be up and down a hell of a lot more. Maybe you should get seats in the alcohol free area?

Maybe but my luck Id get a spot behind someone with a weak bladder or kids waving flags in my face. Nothings perfect in this world.

At Jamie Lyon ?


That's the one.

I think the Dragons thing I remember is the crowd bood the heck out of the team at half time.

Its been an entertaining morning guys. Ive enjoyed my coffee and had a giggle or two. Life is to be enjoyed.
Im looking forward to TLT, watching Captain Rankin and hoping for a BA miracle on Friday night. Bring it on.
Now back to work for this silly old merkin.

I stand corrected - Eels fans threw coins in the field after out 39-6 loss against Penrith in 2012.

We also threw coins at Jamie Lyon in 2006.

Classy bunch.
There was a time at old Cumberland Oval were they would send children around the ground at half time with a blanket stretched tight and encourage coin donations to the thrown. I don't think OH&S existed back then. 😂

Luai is the favourite.

Wouldnt surprise me if Cleary will cop it as well.

Dylan Edwards gets under my skin as well for some reason.

Throw in the trainer he might cop a spray from some drunk in the crowd somewhere especially if he stops the game again when parramatta are attackimng.

If the game remains close unlike last week's bloodbath i reckon the atmosphere will be huge.

The lads just have to turn up and compete for 80 mins.

It does make them gutless because they were doing it from the anonymity and safety of the mob.

True.

But how many people get the chance to see players face to face?

As I said, I don't condone it at all - but the way the OP fixated on the word "gutless" just came across as very childlike to me.

The world has billions of shades of grey, but she acts like it is either black, or white - rather naive, imo.

One thing I do sincerely hope is that Brad is protecting Jake as best as he can - mental health is no joke, and I am genuinely worried about whether Jake is handling things OK.

Have you noticed that you accuse people of being sooks, telling people how they should think and of being condescending (high horse) ?
