So 3500 people out of 22,000,000. That's 0.01% of the Australian population. The system is seriously flawed. https://twitter.com/wswnick/status/679185980520185856 …

I'm a Sydney FC fan but seriously can the cove change their chanting routine. It's very monotonous. Suity?

I was only saying that to my brother in law yesterday as we shared a beer.
He's an ESFC fan, and I was saying that 10 years ago, I was admiring their chants. The A-League had just started and I was impressed.
10 years later, they are still singing the same shit.
The RBB's best chant, is the one they introduced this year. Every year they bring in new chants.
Mate, that's the difference between having a English based chanting fan base, (esfc) and a European/South American based active support. (WSW). Pure and simple.

Down my way here in the South there is genuine momentum for a Southern Sydney team. I even suggested a name for them and colours to one Sutherland Sharks legend and good mate of mine. He loved it. If we get Tim Cahill to launch and be the marquee it it would be be massive.

Anyone ejected from an A-League game by the police get an automatic 5 year ban.
90 in one day eh? Must be just larrikin Aussies. :roll:
Wonder if DUI Bec will go on a raging campaign about the behavior of cricket fans?

An invitation to spend the rest of the day doing something more interesting. They should have considered themselves lucky.

lol. So right atm. :lol:

Seriously though, if 90 fans were ejected from the Sydney derby - can you imagine the uproar!!!!!
This has been pretty well hushed up tbh.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I guess it depends. You probably can't always compare. It seems like a few people were ejected for fairly low level issues (being drunk and swearing). Not all events would eject people for stuff like this.

Not completely disagreeing with you though, Suity.

Link? Since when? I got kicked out of a sydney fc game for being drunk, didn't get a ban.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'm just glad that LU don't enforce such a ban. It would be a pretty lonely forum.

Eighteen people were removed and two people issued with ban notices at the match between Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers, police said.

Were you playing centre-half?

In the words of Meatloaf, "2 out of 18 ain't bad..."

I wanna see this link that anyone who gets evicted by police gets an auto 5 year ban....

Yeh, I've certainly seen statements by people who have said that they have been banned for 5 years because they were 'spoken to by police' (that Cumbo bloke), and there seem to be a lot of blokes who have been banned after interactions with the cops. But I can't find any reference to a policy of automatic bans for anyone ejected by the cops.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The kinds of people that get banned from sporting events are all f**king victims. Boo hoo I was just celebrating a goal when the police kicked me out for no reason.

If anyone's hard done by it is cricket fans. You can't jump into the air without getting thrown out. Certainly the kind of thing you get away with at league and football matches.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

You're not even allowed to throw a BBQ chicken in the air at cricket these days. Or chuck fruit at the security guards when they're facing the other way.Or just make a beer snake. I blame JT.

 

[cleary89]

I've been kicked out of the cricket for holding up a beer snake.

Guy on reddit was saying he saw people getting kicked out of the cricket yesterday for doing shoies (sculling a beer they had poured into their shoe). I reckon at night clubs they are kicking out around a hundred people a night for being drunk.

There's a big difference between holding up a beer snake or being drunk compared to starting fights or throwing flares (yeh i get people threw shit at cops yesterday and that's not on).
