1. Flags that have nothing to do with the club SHOULDNT be at game days ie. National flags at domestic league games whereby the flags only serve to incite ethnic tension.
2. Ethnics arent ruining the game because the FFA already got rid of the NSL.
3. I'd much rather have the system we have in place now where we have a RELATIVLELY strong domestic league thats run professionaly than the farce that was the NSL where it wasn't South Melbourne Vs Melbourne Knights; it was Greece Vs Croatia.
4. Goeff Lord has invested millions into the club. It's fair to say he'd want a return on investment. Wouldn't you?
5. Fans who ruin the game day experience for others with violent and inappropriate behavour ARE pieces of shit and ARENT true supporters and should get fucked.
so melbourne victory sign two costa ricans. Carlos Hernandez and Jose Lopez. I want to bring my costa rican flag to show them that we are welcoming them. I am CLEARLY inciting ethnic tension.
-the ethnic comment above was referring to the media, police's and FFA's reactions towards football fans, and the way they support.
-Your memory must be extremely short, some of the best quality of football this country has ever seen was in the NSL. Of course you and those around would be unaware of that. Old soccer is bad. All that ever happened in the NSL was riots. They could never finish a game.
Please do not forget that superstars of this country like Culina and Viduka started playing in the NSL. Its a shame that you don't realise that this "farce" ran for 30 years. Doing extremely well for a league that wasn't run professionally.
-You mention Geoff Lord investing millions to the club. Geoff Lord would have never watched a game of soccer in his life. He grew up livng and breathing AFL. How can someone that has no idea of the culture behind the sport get involved the way he has?
-Now my favourite bit
I am one of these pieces of shit you mention above. I love this city and my team to death. I spend a substancial part of my life around football and my mates ive met through the football and the "terraces" supporting this team. When an opposition fan gives it to me, I give it back. I will not take their shit.
In this sport passion runs deep through the veins. In AFL its ok to be friends with the "enemy." Carlton and Collingwood fans go together to games to watch their teams. They give each other hi 5's when each team scores. Fuck that, thats not passion. That's not staying true to your club.
I do not understand the culture of it. AFL cheersquads sing songs about hating the enemy yet when one enters their area they let them sit down and even invite them for a drink post game.
if thats how you want to support, go ahead support. But remember when your on your arse one day, remember its the pieces of shit that will probably have your back
