The sad reality is, we're the ones who are more likely to foot the bill. On a better note, the more we pay, the less Wanderers tickets we're inclined to sell next time.

Lol

Um, yeah if you don't think your club will receive a bill from the SCG trust for the vandalism then you're a little delusional.

Whether the WSW get sick of paying fines for your damages and start passing it on to those who cause the damage is another matter, and one which they might take up with you sooner rather than later. If not this time, then next derby.

Yep hell i rememebr joffa saying once he saw the nt start trouble because he was on the side. I told him on here umm im in front of them and the seccos started shit even though the police was handling the situation.

In a nutshell !

So let me get this right....

Pretty much everyone who was there said they saw nothing

People that wern't are furious, calling those that deny it apologists and are demanding the violence is stopped?

This was not the image of what I witnessed on Saturday. Having said that, I deliberately didn't take part in the Cove march so I could get into the ground before the WSW hordes had arrived from Central. And I especially caught the bus back to Central after the game so as not to be confronted by casuals out for sky blue souvenirs. Had ZERO issues all day or night as a result.

Drank post game at the REH near Central where both sets of fans got on fine. We all ended up enjoying watching Chelsea lose with the West Ham supporters club. =p~

What I'm trying to say is that if you are street-smart & deliberately don't look for trouble, you will NOT find it, even at a Sydney derby. I had zero problems on the night & saw my team win in more than stirring fashion. :cool:

It may antagonise the police & annoy people around them, but the lighting of flares (whether you like it or not) does NOT constitute violence in my books.

Didn't see any violence at all. Or any suggestion of it.

The only bad thing I saw was individuals from both sets of supporters being forced onto the road and getting hit because there no where else to go. There needs to be better traffic control after the match.

Walked back to Central for the first time ever due to congestion, and never seen any trouble. A couple of boozed up neds screaming in the face of the Wanderers fans ( did feel like giving them a slap )was the worst i seen. Nothing at Central either.
TBF i have seen very little trouble post match at any of the Derbies.

I get his point though because football supporters generally operate as a collective it is easier for the media to take the 'fan violence angel'. It is nonsense but the A-league doesn't need the negative publicity.

Saw nothing to concern us, we went in from the Paddo end, my 2 kids and a mate, had a great night despite a crap performance by our lot but we bagged the points late - happy ending in another way :d
We left the same way, apart from one goose looking to stir the pot screaming you stole our tifo but we won - tbh even I would have smacked him one if my kids weren't there to shut him up saw no other issues at all.

Made me laugh also. :lol:

Clearly not thought out and based on pure emotion. Probably got the shits coz his boyfriend stole his lipstick or something.

They should start an A-League Fight Club. Something about not one marketing dollar spent...

They're all quite special. Maby we should relax our ban on the Cove at Parramatta :oops:

Why waste FFA marketing dollars, when you can just schedule the Derbies in the first few rounds.

#Notadollarspent

Sorry to hear that. Was he badly injured? Where did he get hit because you did say he tried to hit him?
Like I mentioned I also witnessed minor scuffles but they were quickly difused by both sets of supporters

Broad-based clubs must be having trouble catering for all the different cultures

A few boys, both SFC and WSW fans from this forum saw the old coke head RBB fella try hit an SFC teenager.
They did post it on one of the countless 'trouble threads' Have a search if you want but that id first hand.

Like I have said previously. I do not condone violence and I am not here to deflect anything. In fact I have been highly critical of all supporter groups including our own. I have asked a simple question which couldn't be answered.

Did anyone out of the hundreds who post on 442 witness any first hand accounts of violence. Not google or media reports, but first hand. Surely someone must have seen something with all the rampant violence going on?

Odd, that there are all these extremly violent people at a-league games, mass brawls, hammers, bolts, and seats flying through the air everywhere - all this with cops and CCTV (not to mention punters with iphones covering every inch) - yet nobody can stop these criminal masterminds or capture it?

If you were cynical you'd think either the cops are incompetent or the problem is nowhere near as bad as being made out.

:lol: that last suggestion is something special.

The simple and obvious solution is to ban the RBB from attending the next few away derbies. They're a bunch of criminal and thugs and have proven so time after time. They don't weed out the rotten apples from within their own group. So none of them can attend in future.

Much stricter ticketing arrangements must be made for the WSW fans to ensure they don't sneak these wankers in. Maybe a families only policy or something.

The RBB must cause about 90% of all friction between the clubs . The solution to stopping the headlines is removing the RBB. It would then be up to the less active WSW fans to create the atmosphere for their team.

The WSW will surely be sent a bill for the damage their fans caused. The WSW should then add on a fine to all members of the RBB to pay the fine. They've got the credit card details. Too hard to identify individuals when they don't sit in the seats they bought. So they all get punished.

This is bloody sad. Grow up. Simple.

A simple google search will return a number of results which show the bashing, thieving and outright criminal behaviour of this RBB.

What violence are you talking about? Were you a witness to any violence?

I certainly don't condone violence and while I was walking back to the station there were a few scuffles that were about to break out, but they all turned into nothing. So I didn't see anything.

What did you see first hand?

Yet. The escalation of violence at WSW continues to climb and if people like yourself keep brushing it off as OK, it's going to reach a point where someone is going to be killed. Would love to see the RBBs press release then ](*,)

After every Melb/Syd derby we get the same reports "violence mars game"....next derby = sellout.

Its not ruining the sport at all. Despite how much the Murdoch press tries to.

Utterly false. A- I have never condoned poor behaviour. B- and I'm not saying it happens in other sports - I'm saying the situation is worse in other sports. Having said that I am not dismissing poor behaviour in soccer because it's worse in other codes. I'm just not buying the media bullshit. But hey, you sound like an expert on every single very vague incident that has been reported.

And why do you care what some kid on the Internet writes? I'm worried about you and think it would be better if you moved on from engaging with me.

"Well you see your Honour we did chase and bash that young fan up and stomp on his head for wearing the wrong scarf but in our defense something about an AFL match horse racing mumble mumble etc."

Congratulations. Apparently you've noticed there seems to be an ongoing double standard in the reporting of crowd trouble.

Hang on though, rather than say what a bunch of stupid clowns some fans are you keep pointing out "that it happens in other sports".

Who gives a flying.

How about we, as in football fans, start behaving ourselves and stop giving these pricks the ammunition they so desire.

Radical suggestion I know.

And the reason why these shootings are happening is because the 'sport' itself is rife with horse doping and race fixing.

Sport of kings indeed.
