Not really a Perth based issue.
Sad to see this is still happening. If guilty, ban him/her for life. Unacceptable.

I live in Melbourne but it's idiotic to suggest this is a Perth problem. Didn't we just have a thread about this happening over here in round one?
Thanks for bagging the whole city because of one idiot OP. Similar to judging someone based on the colour of their skin.

Given BigFooty's form with this issue, I look forward to Naitanui being blamed for his own racial abuse before I sit down for dinner.
I don't understand why you'd willingly handicap your own thread from the get-go. As a Collingwood fan of all people you should know what you're getting yourself into, do you think people have already forgotten the Goodes "monkeygate" fiasco or even the Lin Jong incident from a week ago?
Eastern end suggests Freo cheersquad, pretty disappointing either way.

Perth issue, melbourne issue, hobart/launceston issue
Morons all around the country.
Every club and city has them

Sad to see and I'm totally zero tolerance with racial stuff at the footy but I really hope the article is not suggesting the term "tip rat" is somehow racially charged.
I don't think a life time ban is the way to go BTW. The Richmond supporter who abused Lin Jong last week at least had the guts to fess up and apologize. Hopefully he doesn't do it again and others learn from it. I'd like to give people the chance to learn from their mistakes. Do a course. Talk with someone from another background to understand what it is like to be racially abused. I dunno - maybe I'm just a dreamer.

It's a shame that s**t like this still happens. Racists are a minority, but they're a loud and obnoxious minority. I'd like to see if they'd still be so chripy if they were confronted by 200cm, 100kg Naitanui.
This is the first I've heard of one and he's been playing for 7 years now. Are you really using an isolated incident of racial abuse to pursue some anti-WA agenda?

There is plenty of idiots - but no club or city has a monopoly.
May not have even been a freo supporter

No tolerance for it, however will wait for the facts to come out....at the moment it is a bit hazy.
If I heard someone yell something at Nic Nat, I'd dob em.
If it is Tip Rat (which I thought was more a socio-economic insult?) and only heard by 1 person - is it possible that Tip Rat might just sound like Nic Nat.
Anyway, if true not on.

"from what I've heard", hey?
The "stay classy Perth" comment is completely unnecessary. There is still racism everywhere.
And I reiterate what others have said. If proven to be true, the perpetrator should be dealt with harshly.

I want to know what was said
These days half the stuff you hear has no racial undertone, but because it's said to someone who isn't white, it's "racial"
SouthPark were ahead of their time

It's a pity they could find the person and chuck him out. Maybe the people nearby were reluctant to point the racist out to security because they're sitting in the same seat at every match and they fear reprisals from the guy's friends.
Anyway, one loud-mouthed racist person in a crowd of 45,000 football fans isn't a bad strike rate for a heated WA Derby.
At some football matches in Europe they'll have a whole grandstand of racist idiots chanting racist slogans.
Hundreds and hundreds of "ultras" throwing bananas onto the pitch and making monkey noises at the African opposition players.
I'm proud to be an Aussie where the majority of people treat each other as equals and racist remarks are no longer tolerated.

Wasn't someone thrown out of the G last week for racially abusing someone? Not sure where the targeting of Perth comes from.
'Tip rat' has no racial connotation whatsoever. I hope that is not the basis for the article and allegation.
Me and my friends call each other tiprats, all in good fun. It's just a general remark which can be used for anyone. If it is racist, then James Brayshaw might be in some strife, one of his favourite words on his radio calls.
Great idea.
Only West Coast crowds boo the opposition though
Unfortunately this is going to happen for a while yet. Doesn't matter if your drunk they should know better.
