I was there and it was a great night- amazing atmosphere and one of the best Wanderers performances ever imo.
I agree Suity about the "**** the victory" chant. Older kids would hear worse at school - although I doubt the young uns would of.
I don't know, I thought it was kind of funny I guess - but my issue with it is that it is antagonistic towards opposition supporters and is meant to provoke them and I think will lead to problems down the track. I support the RBB, they are generally fantastic - but that just concerns me to be honest.
Having said that - what a great win.
Mate, I've been trying for several years now to protect Jumpsuit from that chant. It's not the sort of thing I want him to hear, let alone chant.
He's 13 now, so my excuse of they are saying 'fudge the Victory" doesn't wear anymore. He know's what they are saying.
He got right into it and what am I to do? He didn't say the word though during the chant, even though he knew what it was.
It is what it is. I full well know he hears worse at school. He's told me.
So, I thought at the time, so be it. I can't stop it, nor do I condone it. At the same time, it was funny from an adults point of view and we both looked at each other and smiled. He knows it's not right, and I hope that he know's when to say it (hopefully never) but that ain't gonna happen.
I certainly don't ever say it in front of him.
Is it antagonistic? Maybe. Probably. But it's only the douchebags who would take offence to it and retaliate.
What did you do? How did you respond?
I was certainly surprised that the chant went stadium wide and certainly around me, in the Eastern stand, everyone was on their feet.
Suity
