Fan threatened with eviction from MCG for barracking too loud

[ep2018]

Someone on reddit claiming the fan called the ump a "bald headed NTTAWWT".

Gillon denied only yesterday that there had been a crackdown on AFL patrons. Dead set ******* liar.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Everything the fan said was technically true, don't see the issue.

Still a free kick if you have possession and the other arm is pinned. They just don't apply the rule like they should.

Nicholls is a Homer Simpsonesque bald boob who has an uncanny knack for offending both supporter bases equally.

Completely fair reaction to throw him out if true.

 

[Ron The Bear]

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

The Richmond cheer squad member was banned for "maggot" which some defective overheard as "f*****", but was still banned even after the insult was clarified.

The end is nigh.

Good. We don't need people abusing people at games, especially at the people that are UMPIRING the game. There are ways to get your voice heard without acting like a campaigner about it.

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

Be honest, the game is going to seed under Gillon's regime.

When will administrators realise that football is an emotional game? I'm not one to scream and yell, as a matter of fact I am quiet except for applauding when something good happens, but I have mates who are the most mild mannered people you'll ever meet, but the moment they check into a footy game, they're off their heads.

Would they prefer it if nobody came to the football?

“Umpires Matthew Nicholls was visibly shaken.”

Lol, you’ve got to be ******* kidding me right?

Maybe he should do a documentary.

 

[Shade]

Scary to think where the game will be at in a few years time from now if this is the type of stuff that gets you ejected from a game.

Ah .... so it was a baldist remark

 

[Dynamics]

If he's calling him a flog... big deal. Not exactly covering yourself in glory by screeching at an umpire, but it's hardly worth being thrown out for.

If he's calling him a NTTAWWT or worse.. on your bike, son. That language doesn't fly any more.

And Australia now!

And problems don't get fixed by throwing abuse at people, because what starts out with good intentions of calling people out starts to become harassment. We don't need that.

He was shaken so much that all his hair fell out

It is the passion of footy and its fans that have made it what it is.

 

[STFU Donnie]

Fans are provoked when umps make shithouse decisions.
These days its like we're meant to just sit there and say nothing.

Only the dickheads.

 

[Richard Pryor]

What's the end goal? Golf claps only?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

This sport is a joke pay your hard earned should be allowed to boo etc as long as you don’t cross the boundaries of racism or sexuality

Remember the sepia scoreboard at Waverley? Where the umpires were announced with a cartoon umpire shielding behind a door as he was rained with cans, fruit etc? Abusing the umpire is football lore.

Umpiring standards are at an all-time low and paying patrons are merely responding in kind.

Don't shoot the messenger, fix the ******* umpiring!

Like Flog Goodes ?

Yeah no, the fact you think abusing people in any situation is stupid.

It's the footy, abuse occasionally happens. The funnier, the better.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

BS.

No one gets thrown out for that.

Must be more to it.

Tiger fan banned last week for calling an ump a w***er

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Some people in the area the person said it say there were homphobic words used in the verbal attack.

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

Fan booted for homophobic abuse, then.
