Certified Legendary Thread The New Carlton Thread: 31st season without a flag for the eternal dickheads

[BillyElliott]

Unfortunately - Pies fans. With a grievance against a security guard. And it was another Pies V Blues game.

Yes, I knew it was a Pies Blues match. Couldn't believe it as I heard it on the drive home from the game.

 

[Pistol Night]

Carlton defence holding up strong. Only 3 unanswered goals this quarter. Could have been worse.

Is now..

 

[IlovethePies]

Jathanas expressed it better than I probably will, but for me thing to remember about a joke is that context is king.

I'm a stand up comedy fan and a couple of guys who would defend their right to tell an "offensive" joke more than anyone else had this to say about context:

"You can joke about anything, but not anywhere. You need to understand your audience and the setting. Context is everything." - Ricky Gervais

"It’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it… deliberately. But you have to know what room you’re in." - George Carlin

A joke about murder amongst mates or on a footy comedy show is not equivalent to a message left on an official channel dedicated to reporting adverse behaviour. It can't be, because the context is so drastically different.

Five years is pretty hefty and I reckon that's where the debate is.

Good post.
Got me thinking.

 

[BillyElliott]

Orazio injured? I’m speechless

Did that happen in the warmup?

Because I hadn't noticed he was playing.

I think it happened putting his socks on

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Am I the only one who thinks we should try get Curnow?

Given the deeply sinister connotations of the word “get”, I’m going to say “yes” in case you mean “whack”, “cap”, “neutralize” or “liquidate” Curnow.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Are you suggesting we should kill Curnow?

Goddamnit you pre-emptively murdered my joke.

 

[ZEV]

Don’t get too confident boys, if Carlton sneak the next 6 goals there’s only a goal in it…

 

[Pistol Night]

There’s only 7 straight kicks in it. Unfortunately for Carlton they can’t manage that many a week in total throughout the whole field

I’ve seen a few straight to Brisbane opponents…

Hammy, apparently. I didn't think he had any.

 

[Pistol Night]

He’s strained his lower arse/upper knee

 

[Exambolor]

Charlie has now gone a month without kicking a goal

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Well in that case we need something random.

 

[BigVic]

Carlton are the biggest pretenders

 

[Black_White]

Got to hand it to the Blooose. Played the top 2 sides and stayed within 10 goals at the end.
What a team!
What a coach!

You'd think you'd get a discount for self reporting to the anti-social hotline.

 

[The Phantom]

How does that message even get air time?
It could have been ignored, treated with the dumb contempt it deserved.
Instead, blowing it up has been more damaging than the dumb ass comment.

Far worse has been said about other coaches. Including on here, about Buckley in particular.

I wonder who the prominent person was? That’s the only twist left in the story.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Sam Pang’s joke about ND’s most difficult opponent during the Big Freeze show. That went down like a led balloon.

Yep, much worse then some wowser tryna imply 23 blose folk are gonna murder Voss.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Guaranteed the guy is a privileged buffoon. Deserves the ban.

Yeah might be valid in an authoritarian dictatorship but not in our liberal democracy.

Expose the tool and drop the ban, drop the knee jerk over reaction.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Sorry for the intrusion, but I agree that this was just a spot of risky humour. All hotlines get nonsense messages.

It seems to me that the MCG security have told Voss of a possible threat, without giving him the actual wording. Some transparency early on would have prevented this media hand-wringing.

The first clue was the police saying 'meh'.

Geez I wish mods on here could ban the media.

The media are the worst in all of this, clearly let this be incorrectly identified as a disgruntled blues fan threatening death to the coach. Even had Voss saying 'you don't belong here' i:e thought was an angry carlton fan threatening murder, when it wasn't.

That is some sick stuff in the chase of creating click bait.

Reckon whoever in the media was behind this should face some accountability, not the clown who sent the text.

CFC haven't covered themselves in glory either, playing politically correct advocate isn't gonna go down well with the fans and public in general.

The club should take down this statement, it's a knee jerk reaction.

It did feel a little bit like an exercise to take the heat off Voss and the team's performance. We are being told to support the club the right way i.e no anger.

0.9 to be exact

Hi and welcome!

Sincerely, you do a great job with Carlton’s post-game thread.

You can tell by the tone of this thread, that our rivalry remains fierce.

Cheers

Were they Pies fans with the guns? I assumed they were Blues supporters too

Yes, it was reported last week that they got into an altercation with security at a game at the G a few weeks prior - Bulldogs v Pies.

What is the common denominator here?
