Fan threatened with eviction from MCG for barracking too loud

[The Falcon Strike]

This’ll be another opportunity for people to extol how morally superior they are

Whilst I think it’d be a pretty pathetic thing to get banned over, some of the **** the bogans spew at the footy is appalling. Go scream at a TV at home if you want to carry on like a pork chop. You’d get kicked out of a pub for screaming at the staff like an immature flog, why not the footy?

How are you comparing umpires to staff?!

Ha ha.....perhaps if your steak came out with mushroom sauce instead of pepper sauce? Booooooo

Can’t comment on that because I haven’t seen those games, but I’m sure she wouldn’t be alone. Umpiring has generally been atrocious. So what now, the AFL are introducing 4 field umps as a trial ? Is that correct? So that’s potentially 4 different rule interpretations going on in one game? What a mess!!

She isn't alone, but where the other umps give away soft free kicks she is giving away free kicks that aren't even remotely close to a free kick.

Disgrace if he was thrown out for that but if he did indeed use “NTTAWWT” instead of “flog” then absolutely it shouldn’t be tolerated

We have to tolerate it from the commentators.

Ray Chamberlain and Matt Nichollis just can't stand life without seeking attention......sad !

They're employed by the AFL thus being their staff? Pretty simple concept to understand I would've thought.

All a bit puzzling to me. After all, we call the granny "the big dance". We watch players on "the big stage".
Its as much theatre as it is a sport. And theatre invokes and demands a response from its watchers.
Are pantomimes policed as stringently? Lot of kids in the lock up if so.
Direct threats of violence or overt racism aside, the sport and the event of it needs supporter involvement.
Bald flog. Spare me.

Problems don't get fixed by silencing those who point them out. Unless you live in China

We'll be living in china soon enough with our government crackdown on a free press.

[hoss]

They've been protected by the AFL for so long, with almost zero accountability for incompetency. That's resulted in these thin skins.

He even admits to planning a (score review) bunker. Fourth Reich here we come.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

That's surely what it was - coded communication between two brothers, sadly misunderstood by over-zealous security.

That is *en hilarious!

 

[hoianbulldog]

If it was clearly stated upon entry that abusing an umpire would get you thrown out, welp rules are rules. But I had not heard of this rule being put in place?

In 48 hours it will be afl policy for all grounds.

The incident the other week with the Richmond cheer squad member i kinda agreed with because he was part of an official group that represents the club.

Supporters chucked out for questioning an umpire call or commenting on hair style is nuts. Its sport ffs, its emotional, it was a throw away line.

How the hell did an umpire hear that comment anyway. Doesn't sound like he was in the zone for umpiring.

Meanwhile, us plebs on level 3 got away with hurling abuse about the umpires #poorGApleb

Of course he didn't call him a flog, he called him one of these

You can't boo players or curse umpires anymore. Rip AFL.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Problem solved.
