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).
Yeah sorry I didn't get on to this earlier. Life got in the way.

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 ?
Did anyone see Foran munching on a chunky steak on the sidelines last year?

The reason for the different treatment is that you're a troll. Suitman isn't. You are both cocks though.

Sends a strong message.
And almost halved the size of the RBB in the process?

Not saying there was only 28 of them to start with, but about half will now likely stay away from games in protest at this "outrageous" treatment... lol.

Looks like the Wanderer's strong statement may have been a reaction to stronger statements by their rightly disappointed sponsors?

Western Sydney University condemns Wanderers' RBB supporters’ actions

Long-term partner of the Western Sydney Wanderers, Western Sydney University, have today condemned the actions of the club's RBB supporters at the recent Sydney Derby game.

Vice-Chancellor, Professor Barney Glover, says the unacceptable actions of these supporters is damaging the reputation of the club and its sponsors and partners.

"Western Sydney University embraces diversity and promotes a culture of inclusiveness. In doing so, we seek to develop relationships within Western Sydney and across the globe with partners who share these values," says Professor Glover.

"If the Wanderers share these values, they must act swiftly and firmly to deal with the perpetrators and ensure that their supporters reflect the values of the club. Equally, we expect Football Federation Australia (FFA) to ensure its ongoing commitment to respect and inclusiveness across the code nationally.

"Western Sydney University will continue to support the Wanderers' W-League team as a demonstration of our commitment to the growth of women's sport. Until we feel the club can demonstrate they have appropriately dealt with this issue, the University will require its signage from the remaining A-League games this season to be removed."

The University will continue to consider its partnership with the Wanderers within the current term of the sponsorship agreement and beyond.
Not much to argue with there.

Why didn't the RBB "brains trust" just do something like this for their banner?

Just as funny (funnier?) and not an ounce homophobic... would likely have avoided 18 month inidividual bans, avoided the club's $20K fine, and avoided the club's loss of major sponsoships.

The sooner the WSW / FFA close down the whole RBB/Active end, the better imo.

Direct enough for you, @emjaycee ?

Lol, since when is expressing opinion on a current event the same as trolling? And just because you don't like or agree with the opinion, doesn't make it trolling.

I repeat... it's not all about you, Suitman.

"Paranoia paranoia everybody's coming to get me..." :eek:

I hope Sydney get a descent punishment for their indiscretions but really you need to stop using other clubs mistakes to downplay your club's. You know 2 wrongs don't make a right and all

I'm not and I agree.
We have received our punishment. And deservedly so. The sign was crude and abhorrent.
I just want equality.
Surely it's not too much to ask that the supporter base of an opposition team receive equal punishment for crimes that not only are destructive, but are equal to the same shite and accusations that have been accused against the Wanderers in spades here in the past?
Surely that's only fair?
