OT: Association Football

[Twizzle]

I think decent behavior should be expected rather than the cops thanking the public for not causing havoc.

It's all about expectations management


I'd imagine that 7 arrests out of a 40,000 night time sporting crowd is at the lower end of the scale (unfortunately).

 

[Gronk]

I wonder how many arrests there are at a typical Parra vs Dragons match or a Waratahs vs Brumbies match ?

I'll take a stab at it.


Um... none ?

Depends whether it is a night game (more alcohol drunk), and how full the stadium is (the average Eels v Dragons match recently has been far from packed). I've certainly seen people being arrested for failing to quit at Brumbies / Raiders games and at the cricket (every game I've been to).

The ony one that shold have been arrested for failing to quit at Parra games last year was Sef Paulo.

Getting evicted at the cricket doesnt end in an arrest. Think of it like getting kicked out of a pub. Unless you really f**k up then you get arrested. 7 is a lot.

7 arrests and 40 evictions is too much for a regular event.

Funny how it's being trumpeted as a good result - yet more special treatment for A-League.

If you refuse to leave when requested by security, or attempt to re-enter, it can end in you being arrested.

Depending on circumstances, there are always a few knobs at any event.

Ironically Baz, 7 arrests and 40 evictions is the worst result ever for a Sydney derby, yet the crowd is described as well behaved. Go figure!.

I actually think its hard to judge behaviour by arrest/eviction figures

If there is some event were merkins are going absolutely f**kin berko then the police are probably just content to disperse the situation and try and get people (themselves included) out of it safe - no arrests

But if things are kinda calm - just some smaller amount of merkin-ness going on, then its probably more likely arrests will be made.

Just my uneducated, poorly backed up opinion

I agree and made a similar suggestion a little while ago. Must admit though, my post appeared much more educated and strongly backed up.

Yeah, who was I trying to kid.

Hahaha. Striders a dumb arse. Joking.

There were more cops at the game on Sat night then there has ever been. Maybe that led to the higher numbers of lack of tolerance? I don't know.
I saw no trouble, except for one ESFC douche bag enter the RBB, and immediately was ejected by security. I saw a Wanderers douche bag enter the Cove, and he too, was immediately ejected.
Other than that, and a bit of lip from an ESFC fan while we were walking back to Central, I saw no trouble. I thanked him for his taxes paying for my dole cheque, considering he was calling everyone from the west "cockroaches and dole bludgers".
And they wonder why there is a demographic divide. :?

[Gary Gutful]

"Cockroaches and dole bludgers"?

Is that the best he could come up with?

He didn't come across as very bright mate. But, he was better and smarter than us westies.
Even made comments about real estate value. :lol: I let it slide.

No they don't.

 

[Suitman]

No they don't.

It even happens in Rugby League mate.
This city is built on demographic divide.
FFS, I was even at a Parra Penrith semi at Pirtek and a chant started up against Panthers fans about ug boots from Parra fans about them.
Don't be so ignorant.

[phantom eel]

How does stating that people don't wonder why there is a demographic divide, make one ignorant that there is a demongraphic divide? :crazy:

Read the words first Suity (slowly and carefully), before you wade in with your replies...
