Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Yeah, the showdown sounds ludicrous every year. Wise choice I think.

My 64 yo old aunty has never been to the footy in her life. She brought season tickets in bay 117 this year. She's a school teacher and as straight as they come and loved every minute of it. It's hardly world war 3 down there.

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate, but if people enjoy chanting etc. why shouldn't they be allowed to do it. What happened on sunday sounds very, very bad, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't chant at the footy.

It was all a bit both ways. I was in the area in 116 and it went from lots of male bravado huff and puff to violence pretty quick. I dont think its all the big dudes fault as the group of Crows fans were being held back by friends from having a go at anybody standing up giving them shit. However, its very poor form from that TAC member to go the racial route. For them to try and claim and they werent involved when his face is plastered all over their facebook page is ludicrous

Well I've never been, but every time I hear of fights from posters on here, and while there is probably a fight at just about every game in Australia the showdown has sounded like it is the worst.

Maybe I shouldn't comment having not been, but I will always think separating the supporters is better, and that has barely anything to do with avoiding fights. I just prefer to cheer/chant/sing than "banter" with opposition supporters, but maybe that is just me?

Jason Singerling is the weirdest guy in the whole of facebookdom. He's getting involved in my post on PAFC facebook, haha.

That's why they deleted my posts and banned me. Gutless wonders who won't call out one of their own for a bastard act.

In fact, they are now distancing themselves from the guy who got banned. Basically saying, "he got a bit drunk, we don't condone these actions".

I would like to believe that, but it was pretty obvious they all thought it was hilarious.

Several years ago a friend of mine took her daughter to the MCG to watch us play Hawthorn where she was spat upon from the upper deck.

Compelling story brethren, it was too short. Needed more dragons, princesses and peril.

Did laugh at the train anecdote. Though I'm not 100% sure I know what he was trying to get across with that story.

 

[Asgardian]

They also denied it was them who racially vilified someone, yet more and more eyewitnesses are pouring in. Terrible group.

Can our club revoke their memberships?

Can they get lifetime bans from the AFL?

The epic tail about muslims and racism in Australia was pure political gold.

Adelaide fans are a worry these days. Seven years and dozens of games seen in Melbourne the only one I wasn't cheering vocally is when we played the Pies way back when they were shit and we beat them by 1 point. Got out of there with my wife quickly. Other times didn't feel concerned at all. As others have mentioned Crowie and Cornes should take the largest blame for it. They make out Port supporters sacrifice 8 year old female crow fans in satanic rights at each break, with then one step short of inciting crows fans who do turn up to violence to prevent it. Then they wonder why the Showdowns have turned from a strong rivalry into the current atmosphere?!?

Although IMO the run of showdown victories Port had I think also has contributed. That added a lot of chips on a lot of shoulders, that the Crows bringing the ledger up to close to even hasn't removed. That and after Showdown I, the string of Port wins, our overall showdown lead there is still a large segment of Crows fans who just can't handle we are ahead in the showdown count and look to take that frustration out on 'Dem evil Powz fans'.

Yeah, like all clubs we have our share of dickhead supporters, but only the Crows fans and their circle jerk companions in the SA media would be incapable of seeing that most of the blame lies with the supporters of the team from West Lakes, not Alberton.

The person got banned for 3 months. Soft IMO.

Clearly it never happened gutless TAC. They were all standing up having a go, stirring the pot and making it worse. Then the fight erupted.

My god that is some of the most cringe worthy reading Ive ever had to do.

I told Taylor Walker to 'suck a fat one' after he tried to be a hero by unnecessarily taking advantage after the Crows got a forward 50 free and then missed the shot from 25 metres out straight in front. Soz Doctor Feel

I'm okay with this.

This is the same group that was abusing the hell out of Mitch Clark while he was writing around on the ground in pain.

Reads like done by 12 year old's who think swearing makes you look older and tougher. I'm all for clever chants, but those are pathetic.

Joined this conversation late and haven't read every post, but the guy who did the "towel head" scarf thing was definitely TAC. He was leading all the singing when they were standing outside the northern end bar near the 5AA broadcast area before the game. Big, oafish looking guy. Don't blame the crow supporter one bit for wanting to belt him.

They can deny it all they like but it was definitely a TAC member. Apparently they were all scattered throughout bays 118 and 119 because showdown crowds are too big to allow them to all gather together.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Should see the TAC guys trying to defend themselves on the thread regarding the issue on Ports FB.

Big, oafish, and in Doctor Feel's friends list.

He's a nice bloke, has good intentions. Comes across as a bit slow but he's actually pretty knowledgable.

It's lucky you guys never got to Windy Hill in the late 80s.
