NO TROLLS Rankine handed a 4 match suspension by the AFL integrity unit for a homophobic slur against opponent

[Bluelegs]

Might have been those leaks from the AFL tegrity unit to Fox journos. Can't blame them, it got a ton of clicks. Not sure there was any truth to it mind you. I guess that didn't matter to them though.

This is an all time crash out.

 

[Angus Young]

I was obviously barracking for the Crows to win the game, but that booing was disgusting. Absolute shame on whoever was doing it.

settle down. its just booing.

Huh?

Don’t care what supporters do at the footy

They pay their money they do as they please

If the AFzl don’t like it ban 30000 from going see how that works

Bums on seats

Booing the guy that was the victim of a homophobic slur, not a great look let's be real

 

[SC_Power]

Yes it is, just that, no meaning to it.

There should be more of it in society.

I often head down to my local and boo a few people who come in and buy any beer I don’t like. But mostly boo the ones that are clearly immigrants. It’s ok because I’m only booing them because of the beer they drink in my local, if they drank the good stuff then I wouldn’t boo them.

I mean, it’s just booing.

Well I am from the straight community and will never forgive him.

 

[VinnieB]

Love the guy on the radio this morning who called in to say the reaction to the booing against Quaynor has been a complete overreaction, because they weren't booing because of his colour.....

 

[RCAB]

Didnt Adelaide recently call a royal commission after they won DV champs of Australia?

Is 57 Milner still replying to my posts? That's how clueless they are, I put them on ignore a week ago.

It wasn't anywhere near that many people booing, but the fact you believe it was and you think it's fine says a lot.

And by the way you can't "do as you please" just because you paid your money.

Apparently it's homophobic to boo now

 

[Gough]

Adelaide could have used Rankine on the field last night.

I'd argue the Crows fans have let off Rankine incredibly lightly, his indiscipline might cost them a shot at the flag but somehow that's all Quaynor's fault. It's a curious logic at play.

 

[iGNITER]

Season over Rankine. Only 1 game left for Adelaide.

 

[VinnieB]

No, but what it's saying is that it's not ok to call people out for verbally abusing any minority group, whether it's race, colour, sex etc etc.

And more specifically, in Quaynor's case, who didn't report it, that if someone is punished for doing the above, you should cop plenty of heat because of your race, colour, sex, etc.

 

[RCAB]

Quaynor is an outstanding player and individual, your Adelaide booers are not.

 

[Makeshift Park]

The concerted effort your mob was making to boo everytime he got near the ball must have been related to the ruthless efficiency with which he was intercepting then.

That’s ok, I guess we can single them out on social media as homophobes and/or bigots.

We pay our money, we can do as we please.

And they won’t get upset. It’s only words after all.

Right?

Which he apparently wasn’t doing 3 weeks ago.

Some of these Crows posters aren't as good at gaslighting as they think, are they.

I thought you would understand

“You can do as you please which is acceptable

If the AFL make booing in acceptable then it won’t be

But clearly it is because they want bums on seats, controversy, people paying $$$, us bitching about it on here

That all adds up to interest and more importantly $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Good luck with having a bitch it’s exactly what they want

No, that there’s a clear reference before Rankine doesn’t really give them much room to maneuver.

So what are you trying to say exactly?

 

[crowman2]

They love this stuff

It creates controversy and $$$$

This site just adds to it and both of us included and everyone that posts

Well played AFL you know how to create $$$

 

[Woody15]

Lol it definitely won't be. I don't think you quite understand how wound up our supporter base is right now.

The AFL have created a situation where there will be genuine concerns over safety for Collingwood players and supporters at the next game at AO. When there is a siege mentality amongst a supporter base it becomes hard to calm it.

How wound up is the supporter base this morning mate?

Season over Rankine. Only 1 game left for Adelaide.

Imagine if Adelaide go out in straight sets and Rankine still has a week carried over till next season.
This whole thing will be revived again.

There really are no winners in this.

There are losers though and that was half the crowd at AO last night (and a few posters in this thread and on the Adelaide board).
