OT: Association Football

[phantom eel]

Meanwhile...

How about you comment on the issue I raised, rather than looking for a bit of sympathy?

How about you give a link, instead of just a photo... and a whinge about others?

 

[phantom eel]

Selective criticism?
If you want to be critical of A-League fans, be critical of all of them, not just those from teams you do not follow.

Meanwhile... just 12 posts above, in a post you directly replied to:

The RBB - and other groups like them - are one of the main factors holding soccer back from generating the type of money (through bigger regular crowds/interest, and hence better ratings and broadcast deals) that A-League needs, to become sustainable and emerge as the giant (summer) sport that we all know if can be.

Selective reading/whinging, perhaps?

 

[strider]

Agree... though it would be interesting to see whether that behaviour followed/was in reaction to the use of the offensive tifo, or whether it occurred before that.

Also 15 arrests from both sides for a variety of offences during and after the showpiece game isn't a good look for the A-League either. Hardly family friendly... Yoshi won't be choosing any soccer team at this rate.

I dont care if it was before after or during - trashing the place is unacceptable f**ked up behaviour and they have shown themselves to be a pack of hooligan wankers .... bring on the southern sydney franchise for all us civilised people

 

[phantom eel]

I agree... Southern Sydney side without the idiot "active fans".

As stated earlier (and just repeated for emphasis), the RBB - and other groups like them - are holding the sport back in this country.

Didnt know they had trashed the place - f**kin imbeciles .... and i would consider that behaviour more f**ked than the enormous penis .... the enormous penis is just f**king dumb, juvenile stupidity

not a good look for the a-league at all

I didn't know about it either, and I'm sure the media would have made a song and dance if it had been any other supporter group with dick-mouth banner. I'd say that's what has overshadowed the destructive behaviour of the SFC fans, just like it's overshadowed the Wanderers' gutsy win.

And I think I agree that the destruction of property is worse than an offensive banner. That shit costs resources to fix, whereas removing the banner cost nothing.

Agree. Homophobic banners get more media coverage, just like Fred Niles' views around Mardi Gras time.

So of the five people posting in this thread... four didn't know about the SFC supporters' actions, and only one (who for some reason got personal, called two of the four "f**king hypocrites", and never provided a link) did.

 

[strider]

you're nothing special bart - he called us all hypocrites

 

[phantom eel]

Lol, my mistake.

The good guys go into the new day truce with a 2-0 lead.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fred Nile is definitely a homophobe but the Graham-Arnold-Mouth-Rape banner is not.

The RBB desrtroy seating EVERY game. Some other clubs supporter bases do it every game too.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well that's why ticket prices are so high. You're losing money if you don't wreck your seat.

 

[Gronk]

So some smartarse bookie placed odds that the (fatf**k) Sutton GK would eat a pie during the match. So for LOLs he did.

Now he is in hot water as he is ......

...... in violation of FA rules that prohibit players from enabling "any person to bet on (i) the result, progress, conduct or any other aspect of, or occurrence in, a football match or competition." On Tuesday, Sutton announced Shaw's resignation.

I wonder if #piegate has anything to do with #pizzagate ? @Hollywood Jesus ?

 

[emjaycee]

@emjaycee... i think calling other memebers hypocrites counts as instigating/winding up behaviour?

I look forward to you commenting, as you had previously said you would....

From memory I said I would call Suity out when he did the same as you (i.e. respond in a derisive manner to your post). The claim of people being hypocrites above wasn't aimed specifically at you, unless of course your internet persona took offence because there is some truth in it?

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Ouch, I'm wounded beyond recovery. How will I ever be able to go on after such a shellacking?

 

[emjaycee]

@emjaycee I'd say that calling someone "the other dick" is example #2 of Suity instigating trolling/personal abuse on the forums. So 2-0...? Looking forward to your promised comment calling him out...

Again, he wasn't replying to your post so not sure why your internet persona is concerned, but I will call him our just so you feel better.

 

[emjaycee]

Fair enough, but you hadn't raised the issue until I mentioned it.
Like I said, no word from you or the other dick until it was brought to your attention, and don't say you didn't know about it as it has also been in the media.
Selective criticism?

Hey Suity, don't call peoples internet persona's "dicks" - they get upset.

 

[forward pass]

It's also ironic that there has been no mention of this from you blokes........... the damage caused to ANZ by ESFC fans and the seat frisby they played...........
f**king hypocrites.

If it had been the RBB that did this you'd be all over it.

Yep - f**king disgraceful behaviour too. I hope they cop a huge fine also and a suspended points penalty.

Vandalism v Offensiveness - that is what this game has come down to.

 

[phantom eel]

But I will call him our just so you feel better.

Thanks, glad to see you're at least begrudgingly attempting consistency...

I look forward to you being more proactive - and equally as defensive of my login as you have been of his - the next time he is found to instigate personal attacks while pointing the finger at others (instead of simply connecting with issues being discussed).

The RBB desrtroy seating EVERY game. Some other clubs supporter bases do it every game too.

That's probably why the merkins want standing seating - so there's nothing to destroy!

So the WS Stadium designers have taken a pragmatic approach to the newly approved safe standing areas then ?
