However I thought the Dog players especially Kimmorley are to be congratulated on their actions in trying to calm the crowd.
Ever since the gang rape allegations and a few minor incidents like SBW+Candice Falzon (or whatever her name is?) and recently Roberts+Idris+Te Maari, the Bulldogs players have been fine.
The major problem with Canterbury doesn't stem from the club itself .. and I commend Todd Greenberg who, apart from his ridiculous suggestion to move the game from Kogarah, is doing a very good job at that club. His appearance and statements on The Footy Show on Thursday night was commendable to say the least.
If only the fans of that club - and a lot of Canterbury's fans are fine, it's a certain type of them who are the trouble-makers - could learn to follow Greenberg's example, we wouldn't have situations where the ground capacity is reduced solely to provide for extra security staff and lower the risk of crowd problems .. and we wouldn't have situations where they decide to throw junk onto the ground because they are very angry at a decision that has gone against them.
When the Bulldogs Army (is that what they're called?) started throwing all the crap onto the field, I said "What a disgrace." I was seated on the direct opposite side of the field basically .. my father blasted me for saying something that obvious aloud, because there were Bulldogs fans nearby and he was scared they would turn around and start beating the sh*t out of us.
There's a reason that fans of 15 clubs are only worried about / scared of the supporters of 1 single club in the Bulldogs. It's not the club's fault that they have attracted the following of a particular demographic, but that minority group of supporters have to clean their act up. It's simply not good enough.
