hey thanks sash,,,,,,

mate i love football. for the football...none of the other shit......played for 17 years coached for 8 and love it.....

look forward to meeting you at a game soon

PM me to catch up.....!!!!

I love my club. Ive been attending games for close to 20 years. If my son played against my club he'd be the enemy for 90 minutes

Anyway, good win today after a few poor weeks. Vital 3 points

It was great to see Pavlovic back, he's exactly the kind of player we've lacked

:lol:

:cool:

also good to hear that Pavlovic is back and played well.

Good tough game at Lambert yesterday between APIA and United.

A draw would have been the fair result in my opinion, but that's football.

Some nice banter between the fan groups which made for interesting viewing.

Unfortunately after there was a bad tackle by APIA no. 9, the United ultras completely lost the plot. Then the threats started, with spitting at players, threatening them, throwing sticks at them as they were playing, even one fan screamed out that he "wanted to rape your Mum" at an APIA player and when D'Apuzzo was being stretchered from field they chantgin "hope your children gets AIDS". Let's not get started on them trying to enter the playing arena to attack the players following the game.

I am certain the older United fans were extremely embarassed and disgusted. Even their president Sam K was very apologetic after the game, and they can be thankful that exists an excellent relationship between Sam and Tony R that will mean that no complaints will be made by APIA.

One thing to cheer on your side, but the threats and attacks became much more personal, racial and violent.

Not even the most stanuch United fan can defend their actions of yesterday.

well given you asked for it, here i am and yes im very happy. thats 10 points from our last 4 games and it should of been 12. not a bad start at all for rudes! we dominated and then switched off. still should of got another one at the end. mcallister came off the bench.

the young kid alex scored again which is good to see. the team is playing really well and thats without our best player sash tiroski who is injured. good to know we have somedepth across the park as well.

im spewing because we should of beaten blacktown, sutho and wolves earlier in the season and we would be flying high. never mind, im much happier now than i was 4 weeks ago thats for sure.

agree re spartans not ebing able to play away from their synthetic. no point whinging about it either.

should be a great game sat night against marconi. will not be easy.

oh they will. were all overreacting remember just like when i noted the poor behaviour of a small minority of their fans when they played us both this year and last year, and i stress small minority. they have no place at a PL game or any game of football.

It was only about 5-6 of them. The balance were respectful.

This is where clubs need to show these minority the door. Peer group pressure can be tried but it appears they do not even respect their own peers otherwise they wouldn't behave as such.

Show them the door...

Football in Australia is where it is because of people like you Batfink!

You support Parra because your son is there, why don’t you do the right thing and pay membership at your club? Clubs are about community and they need money to run, some of that money comes from sponsors and members.

On the subject of BWE supporters (do not call them ultras, please) singing and abusing your team, there is two ways of getting back at them:
1st/ Win the game
2nd/ Bring your supporters and sing louder

Now this is what really happened at the game.
I was there for the football game that I really like, I’m a member of my club and a season ticket holder, I played the game, coached and my son is also playing I also volunteer with many duties at my club. I agree with Sydney Croatia (never thought of saying this, please never mention it that we agree on something) that if my son played for the other club he’ll be my enemy for the 90min.

This is how I saw the day and this is my version of the event:
U18 Great game BWE v Parra 3:1

U20 Excellent game BWE v Parra 1:0 hard physical game, could have gone the other way, really sorry for D Han hurting his shoulder and your defender that was stretched of (how is he?) he was brilliant in holding the defence, hope nothing serious.

1st grade: Great start from both teams BWE have all the possession and a couple of chances, Parra very disciplined and organised holding the shape, fast counter attack through the left and shot on goal. Parra’s away jersey is terrible to read the numbers, BWE have more chances through H Gaitatzis who passed 4 players to have a shot but the goalkeeper is excellent. BWE got the brake from a free kick and keeper dropped the ball in the path of M Long who scored, ten minutes later A Canak pinched the ball from the left defender passed it back to H Gaitatzis who tried to chip the keeper from about 35 meters and full credit to the keeper’s brilliant save.
Both teams played great considering they played mid week and appeared tired. What is up with this Waratah Cup, what is the hurry? Another game mid week this Wednesday.
BWE had all the possession, more corners, more shots on goal and 1:0 never looked safe as Parra did look capable of equalising.

Batfink did you coach you number 3 who had two foul throws?

Crowd about 500, cevapis great!

That was a great day to enjoy football if you know how to appreciate the game, otherwise be a typical Aussie reporter who on the news brings you the riots footage but forgets to mention the result. Saturday lunch time on 2UE I heard that Australia played Croatia and lost 3:1 only to find out later that Croatia played Estonia.

you will beat Marconi......good to see you happy again...LOL...:-"

I agree with lot of your comments....don't have a problem with the result, as sterry said we were flat and played about 40% below the previous 3- 4 games......BWE deserved the win. i never questioned that.....my complaint was about these supporters groups or ultras as they like to be known as these days chanting filth.....

happy for them to chant at the games as loud as they like but keep it civil........

most people are broad minded enough to accept the odd expletive here and there....that's fine we are all adults, but when large groups start chanting at high volume with words in the chant like, fuck, faggott etc there is no escaping it, it is intended to cause offence and hostility, which is something our game can well do without......and by all accounts its has occurred at the APIA vs UNITED game as well.....not good enough and clubs should be banning these morons from coming to the games if they cant behave like civil human beings.......i pay $15 to go and watch a football game with my wife and daughter, not to sit there and listen to chants full of filth.....so you think its acceptable for wives and daughters to have to listen to that?????

as far as supporting clubs i have done so for years until FNSW decided in their wisdom to make Penrith panthers merge with Nepean thus ending my team, i was a sponsor, a committee member and a supporter of the club for years and years.....now my new team will be western sydney wanderers....


and Football in Australia is where it is because of people like you Batfink!

really how is that....would you like me to come to your house and start yelling at your wife mum and sister that you are a faggott and your fucked?????
wonder how that would go down????:-k












Edited by batfink: 28/5/2012 01:34:24 PM

LOL at this. BWEFC top of the table, 'avin' a laugh...

David Vrankovic is playing himself into an A-League contract and it would be a gross injustice if he is not picked up by any AL club as he has played superbly thus far. He is by far BWE's form player.

Ken Chun is also worthy of an AL contract. Very gifted midfielder, pulling the strings in midfield. Has the ball on a string.

Ditto Mitchell Long, Alex Mansuetto and Robbie Younis. All have played well and deserve to be looked at by AL clubs so far this season.

You're at a sporting event. What sporting event have you ever gone to where there hasn't been foul language?

If you want fine dining and proper, polite language, go and watch a polo game with Prince Charles.

Who says women aren't comfortable at Bonnyrigg? Who is abusing daughters? Did you have a bad experience on Saturday night? Were you being singled out? Unless they were specifically targetting you, the fan in the crowd, I'm pretty sure they were singing about your team, that's it. Same thing you would experience at any professional soccer game, in the AL or in Europe.

I would love to see every team have a group of hardcore supporters who just sing and chant but the fact of the matter is there isn't.

The boys supporting Bonnyrigg aren't looking for trouble. They just sing and chant. Yes, there's swearing. But don't forget The Cove have a few songs and chants with F-bombs.

BWEFC, SOFC and SU have supporters who love their club. Despite troubled histories in particular matches, supporters stick with their club through thick and thin.

If you want to argue a point about rugby league fans, go and spend your weekends watching them.

thats just a little different than going to the soccer..... just a little.....

They are kids. They will learn as they get older. You do realise they are kids? People sing, swear and chant for 90 minutes and then go home. That's it. You are taking it to heart too much.

On the BWEFC vs Parramatta match, whilst BWEFC controlled large parts of the game they couldn't entirely dominate.

Sterrey I don't think gave his side enough credit. Whilst they weren't all too dangerous, they did frustrate BWEFC.

The goal scored was lucky as Nash parried it into the path of Mitch Long who just bundled the ball over the line with his stomach. It was Nash's only slip-up the whole game.

Bonnyrigg created many goalscoring chances, however Nash kept Parramatta in the game.

Still, I'll take the win and the clean sheet.

To be fair, a few teams that have come to Bonnyrigg seem to be (rightfully) intimidated this season. Spartans, Sutherland, Parramatta and I think also Manly were outgunned easily in games at Bonnyrigg.

Well on the crowd behaviour front I have attended all the Blacktown City home games except on mothers day and the crowd behaviour has been very good. Jovial and just supportive of their clubs.

On crowd behaviour I think the best atomsphere so far has been Sydney united and their drum banging supporter group. Top marks their fellas.

So I suppose at away games the problem supporters tend to stay at home which suits me fine. Can't say i've heard any loud swearing at City games.

Edited by Aussiesrus: 28/5/2012 03:17:21 PM

Well a number of the United fans were definitely looking for trouble.

I have never seen anything like that.

Easy to sit behind a fence and threaten to rape a players mother when you are in a big group of guys, spit at players warming up, basically threaten everyone in eyesight etc

Which human being threatens to rape a players mother?!

Very gutless thing to do.

And a poor very look on what is a proud and distinguished club.

They are just lucky that the clubs and respective presidents have a very healthy relationship or else, Football NSW would have come down very hard on them.



Edited by ralerasic: 28/5/2012 03:35:11 PM

its even easier to talk shit sitting behind a keyboard ;)

Sorry SUS, it much more manly and courageous to abuse players when they are playing and your with 20 of your mates?

How tough does that make you feel when D'Apuzzo is being stretchered off with a serious injury and one of your crew screams out "I hope your unborn child dies of AiDS"?

Or the very touch guy who said to Galbraith he wanted to rape his mother from metres away?

That is very tough isn't it?

What has this to do with anything that I said, going to football game and coming to someone’s house?

Football in Australia is where it is Batfink, not because of handful of people swearing at the games and scaring women and children away from the game, your attitude is worse for the game than this people that carry on and I told you in my comment why is bad what you are doing. You do not financially support any club unless it is in your interest and now you admitted to support a club in year 300 BC and you will support Western Sydney in the future but financially you ignore present.

Also I described to you nicely about positive things that I saw in the game from both teams at the weekend.This is how I see the games and You and others do not.

We can all hold hands at the games and sing Christmas carols this will not make one bit of difference in the media, producing quality players will and clubs need money for that.
