Morons.







What do you think about the FourFourTwo article FFV To Probe Bob Jane Fracas?
UPDATE: Football Federation Victoria has launched an official investigation into the abandonment of Sunday’s South Melbourne-Heidelberg United clash.

Have your say.

Bahaha no way south Melbourne ate getting into the A-League now. It's wonderful news. No ethnic club for the best team in the OFC. Congratulations you have destroyed yourselves.

Exactly why clubs like South Melbourne were NEVER going to be part of the A League.
These people aren't supporters, they're mugs.

No excuses - the guys who jumped the fence and celebrated by the side of the pitch were idiots, the three tools who ran to the penalty area and had words with the keeper deserve to be forced to watch NRL for a few years.

The 3980 who weren't involved in the trouble, and who booed the pitch invaders, and the committee members who've worked near miracles over the last few months to raise the profile of the club (and who removed at least two memberships from the offending 'supporters'), will once again suffer due to the actions of a few idiots.

Sthmelb and HellasJohnny

Once again a large group of your clubs fans and officials have reinforced all the prejudices against ethnic soccer and undone all the good work. How f...ing boring is that!!.
Your club which is in its death throes anyway now should be removed permanently from the premier league and end this fiasco once and for all. If for no other reason than the club failing to control a section of its dysfunctional fans, attacking players and abusing and attacking linesman and officials which as you know are all major breaches of FFA Regulations. Your excuses for this behaviour, I dont want to hear there simply are none.

The reason why you don't hear as much about pitch invasions at HAL games is because the FFA/clubs spend thousands on security so there's loads of security and police personnel at games. But i see it all the time at Hindmarsh, MV fans jump the fence and head for the pitch but get picked up immediately because of tight security.

The FFV should invest more in stadium security... i'm assuming BJ Stadium has CCTV? Get their identities and ban them for life. Bit by bit, it will catch on amongst the other tossers when their mates can't get in anymore and they will learn quick. It needs to be done ASAP because all the club's hardwork (new stadium, Oceania award, SMFC TV, Singapore FA Cup etc) will be undone quickly. Much like the A-League has it's detractors from rival codes, these old NSL teams have their own detractors to deal with.

PS: my signature link has nothing to do with pitch invasions or this story! But check it out, still important reading!

Skinet, Your MV lot are by far the fucking worst of the lot! But i aint stupid enough to say "Ban Melbourne Victory from the HAL" for i know just as much as you, that's a stupid thing to say, just because a small minority has fkd it up for the rest of your members and fans.

For the record - I've made it quite clear how upset I am by the idiotic behaviour of the pitch invadors - particularly the three who ran all the way to the box to verbally abuse the keeper.

However it must be made very clear - not one finger was laid on any of the Heidelberg players or the officials.

End of the day - no supporter should cross over onto the pitch, there's no excuse for it, so I'm not defending or condoning the idiots - but the facts should be clear.

As for the RedEye's comment about CCTV. Yep, it's there and the tapes are being checked. 2 memberships were cancelled in the clubrooms immediately after the game (including the clown who confronted the keeper).

It's a real shame that South Melbourne farewelled their home in this way. I'm one of the biggest supporters of traditional football clubs in Australia but this is definitely a major backwards step at a time when South Melbourne were getting lots of positive media attention.

I'm assuming some action is going to be taken against this post.Fair enough if you're disappointed in the antics of a select few fans as i am but there better be some consequences for the generalisations in that post.

first of all no officials or players were attacked lets make that perfectly clear, throwing out south melbourne is a bit extreme dont you think? do we throw out MV as well because they nailed a player in the head with a flare at the same venue? imo a far worse incident.

some of the opinions on this forum are downright scary such as "fcuk off greeks", im not even greek and i find that offensive, the biggest shame is the complete blowup of this incident, the only thing i'll accuse those people who ran on the field of is pure stupidity, im not gonna call them thugs or violent ppl because they never acted in that manner, if we are gonna start throwing out teams for jumping on the field to celebrate a goal well we may as well pack it up and quit, some of you posters should be ashamed of yourselves.

Calm down, just tongue in cheek banter... If the MV trouble makers are not as bad as AU trouble makers or SMFC trouble makers are worse than MV trouble makers... who really cares ey? Violence is violence? Right? Or are you one of those people that sees a strange difference between the "Ethnic violence" of the NSL and the current "Territorial violence" in the HAL??

And that was the point of my post... calling for a ban on SMFC from the VPL or justifying their absence from the HAL because of this is as "genius" as me or you calling for a ban on MV or AU clubs for all the trouble that has been caused between these 2 clubs.

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame.

And as predicably expected, benjamin and his troupe will come on this forum now and excuse and defend the indefensible.

What a shame.

A South Melbourne home game between 2 clubs of the same cultural background was abandoned because of crowd bad behaviour.

What a shame, what a disgrace and what an embarrassment to those working hard at FFA headquarters to convince the sporting public of Australia our game has put all this despicable shit behind it for good.

Hang your heads in shame you bastards.

On the 'football hooliganism' scale I give sunday's incident a 1/10. No need to label it 'ethnic violence blah blah' just your typical organic low grade act of stupidity seen whenever MV plays Adelaide or Sydney...... A few clowns run onto the pitch to celebrate after a undeserved 91st min equaliser against the arch enemy Heidelberg at our last ever match at the old BJS, one fool gives their keeper some lip and cops a backhander, gets up and walks away with hands in the air .....It was more comedy than hard core violence. Shit like this shouldn't happen and can't be excused I realise, but every club in every league in every country has a few idiots that fuck it up for everyone.
Small scale celebratory pitch invasions are pretty common in the lower leagues, it's wrong but it happens and it's usually a case of immature teenage over exhuberance.

I feel sorry for the board and volunteers (all unpaid) at South who are doing a top job in strengthening the clubs future having to deal with this type of stupidity.

I make no excuses for sunday's incident. We'll simply have to cop it on the chin.

The 'fan' concerned has made full admission to the club and FFV. And no it wasn't me!!!!Too old for that sort of shit nowdays....

Yeh it probably fucked up our A-League chances completely now :roll:, from zero to zilch.
Still it's good to see people's venom and hostility at all things South.

How on earth is no problem when 3 wankers run onto pitch and try to assault a player mate!
How would you feel when 3 grown up man run towards you?
Would you just laugh at them or be scared?
I am pretty sure you would be shit scared when there have been ongoing violence between two clubs over the years.
Nobody is allowed to run onto pitch and assault anyone and you have rated the incident 1/10!
I think there is something wrong with you mate

On the 'football hooliganism' scale I give sunday's incident a 1/10. No need to label it 'ethnic violence blah blah' just your typical organic low grade act of stupidity seen whenever MV plays Adelaide or Sydney...... A few clowns run onto the pitch to celebrate after a undeserved 91st min equaliser against the arch enemy Heidelberg at our last ever match at the old BJS, one fool gives their keeper some lip and cops a backhander, gets up and walks away with hands in the air .....It was more comedy than hard core violence. Shit like this shouldn't happen and can't be excused I realise, but every club in every league in every country has a few idiots that fuck it up for everyone.
Small scale celebratory pitch invasions are pretty common in the lower leagues, it's wrong but it happens and it's usually a case of immature teenage over exhuberance.


How on earth is no problem when 3 wankers run onto pitch and try to assault a player mate!
How would you feel when 3 grown up man run towards you?
Would you just laugh at them or be scared?
I am pretty sure you would be shit scared when there have been ongoing violence between two clubs over the years.
Nobody is allowed to run onto pitch and assault anyone and you have rated the incident 1/10!
I think there is something wrong with you mate


he wasnt assaulted and nobody attempted to assault him! the person mocked the keeper and the keeper retiliated by shoving him to the turf, 30 seconds later everyone was off the pitch, no kicks, punches, slaps and other rubbish that ppl have made up who werent even at the game.

I'm not a hater of South Melb, in fact i have been quietly impressed with how they seem to go about their business, but the reality is this type of behaviour can't be condoned or minimised. The reality is idiots entered the field, an incident occurred with the goalkeeper and the match was stopped.

This was no doubt by a few idiots who I'm sure don't represent the club or the majority of supporters...Unfortunately for the game this reinforces every fear, misconception, fact or untrue about 'ethnic' clubs....it is always a few idiots who ruin things for everyone else.

indeed, but calling for the expulsion of the club as some have is silly.

you follow mv joffa, im sure you wouldnt like it if people put you in the same category as those victory fans that chucked flares aiming them at south players and hitting 1 in the head a few yrs ago would you? we are in the same situation, every club has undesireable fans.

Absolutely, every club has dickhead fans, and the actions of the few, whilst they obviously don't reflect the views of the club or the majority , they do tarnish all.

If this happened at MV I would condemn it as I would if it happened at any A-League club. I guess what we all need to understand is that these idiots are not people we want supporting our clubs...and if this type of behaviour is endemic to the State League in Victoria as some have suggested...it needs to be eradicated post haste.

The biggest problem that I see is that public consensus and discussion is now evolving towards the implementation of a second tier and a Cup comp. These types of incidents reinforce every ugly stereotype Football in Australia has had to endure.

As a sport we need to stop undermining ourselves to move forward. My biggest concern in reading some of the comments is that whist some have been over the top, each way, not all have been in condemnation of the incident.

i have condemned the incident from the moment it happened on sunday, i think everyone has, but i think the discussion needs a balance, as angry as i am at our fans, im sick of other ppl who most likely werent even at the game trying to make it out to be the biggest scandal ever, a bit of balance wouldnt go astray.

One hell of an own goal scored.
Security was non existent and unable to cope with any incident.
Shambles and disarray mixed with dismay.

Tip rat victory fans who weren't even at the game ready to stick the boot in at any chance. 10, 15 fans ran onto the pitch? 1 teased the keeper from a meter away, only to be confronted by the keeper, pushed over as he was backing away and kicked by a few heidelberg players. laser light was from a crazy heidelberg fan. Match is not officially abondoned as result still stands, ref blew for full time. investigation is under way.

Will the keeper face sanctions for pushing a fan? you guys make me sick, stupid kids who discovered the world game 5 years ago, no respect for what made soccer in this country, what produced your socceroos. Such bitter, jealousy and hate. At least at south we are members club, where as you morons are customers of a plastic franchise, owned by geoff lord the wanker. too many non football people in this A-league including you johnny come lately bandwagoners. Fuck you all

The fans of some of these old clubs remind me of Chopper Reid the way they snap and can't control their emotions. 99 times out of 100 these 3 fans wouldn't even consider acting the way they did but every now and again they do just snap and embarrass everyone who supports football in this country. Even though this a minority there is still hundreds of fans at these clubs that could at some point just snap, be overcome with emotion and do something crazy.

What will happen if you came into the A-league and all the hardcore people who don't currently attend come to the games, it would be a ticking timebomb. Sorry Jimmy your going to have to settle for the state leagues

He hasn't a clue, let alone a point.

The South Melbourne supporters he despises so much have all condemned those who invaded the pitch.

He's been told several times that his allegations of multi-posting are incorrect - by moderators other than me (although I suspect he probably thinks those moderators are my multis).

So is it only fans of ethnic clubs that have the potential to 'snap' as you called it. You are sar far from the mark it's funny. You act as if there is Jo crowd trouble in the A-League and all it's supporter are fuckig angels. Where the fuck do you get off claiming that most of the fans at 'these' clubs could snap
and become crazy and violent.

And people wonder why fans of the old NSL clubs hate the A-League and it's fans so much. It's the assumption that all these effniks are crazy and just a timebomb waiting to go off. It's that stereotyping that pisses us fans of the old NSL right off.

Since when did a pitch invasion in a highly passionate match become an Us versus them Story.

Where were you all condeming Millwall and Westham last year? I understand that it is an great annoiance and those involved need to be sanctioned for their stupidity, but really look at yourselves, you are creating a Mountain out of a Mole hill.

I'm Pretty sure had their not been a large contingent of Australia's finest boys in Blue at SFC and Docklands that SFC fans would have loved to charge the field.
I know I wanted to at the Newy Grand Final but with Cops, Seco's and Undercover mingled you wouldn't get the Numbers for a charge before being smashed by someone.

I for one categorically deny making any derogatory remarks about the ethnic influences in Football in my original post.Please read it carefully. All I said and I was right there is much reactionary angst in sections of the culture of SMFC concerning rejection. The club is now struggling and is less and less relevant given the growth of other very well organised greek sponsored clubs in Melbourne who cause no trouble and have grown there own fan bases. SMFC administration is totally to blame in this case for having insufficient security at its games and must pay the penalty for this and remarks about crowds at Victory games are completely irrelevant once again reinforcing the view how much many SMFC fans hate the A-League. The reactionary behaviour of some SMFC fans just reinforce the predjudices the broader community has against this club and a section of its sometimes violent fans. I believe and it is only my opinion that it is highly unlikely that SMFC in its current form will ever grace the stage of elite level football in Australia again.

Let me start by saying I have always been and still continue to be a believe that in the long term South Melbourne in the A-league would be good for football.

However there is no doubt that the club still struggles to overcome the past. Incidents like this, while not ruinous by themselves, do expose the issues of introducing clubs that once represented the NSL back into out National Comp.

I find it amazing to see comments if not justifying the action seeking to downplay their seriousness. The fact is incidents like this just reinforce the perception that an Australian Cup style completion that mixes A-league with State league clubs is a recipe for disaster. Think how the media would react to this in a televised Victory vs South match.

It seems that sections of the SMFC fans will continue to do the club no favours and sadly that means the game continues to be held back.

First half is pretty much on the money with regard to the way the club was run through the 90s - alienating people left right and center. This is something the current committee is aware of and has worked extremely hard to fix over the last year or two. Which is why Sunday was so painful - a year of hard work semi-undone by a handful of morons.

My only critisism of the club itself was that the security staff were on the wrong side of the pitch, but it's easy to say that in hindsight. One of the benefits of the stadium refit will be that jumping a 3 foot fence won't be enough to get you on the playing surface once all the work is done.

As for the reactionary behaviour of some of the fans - I'm pretty sure supporters of any club, anywhere in the world, including the 'new' Aussie sides, would react the same way if their club was critisized. You say Victory fans are badly behaved, they will say Adelaide are terrible, or that they are much better than the old clubs, etc.

No one believes that SMFC in it's current form will ever grace the A-League, which is one of the reasons that SMFC is working so hard to change its current form.

Make no mistake - that pitch invasion pissed us off far more than it pissed any of you guys off.

I wouldn't let it get you down too much mate. At Adelaide United, a minor scuffle in the stands or on the street often gets blown up to ridiculous proportions. The Advertiser newspaper is reknowned for hating our sport and our team. Meanwhile 100 arseholes get thrown out of the cricket at Adelaide Oval and they'll keep it quiet and play it down. Trust me, it absolutely kills the spirit.

Unfortunately for you, some of your detractors are not only the mainstream media, but also those within our own ranks. All i can say is the initiatives that SMFC has come up with in the last 6 months is something that i am envious of - and i am an inaugural AU member. Keeping pushing forward.

Sunday's events will have absolutely zero effect on 'our game'. The A-League isn't affected, if anything the fuss about an old 'ethnic' club having some bother strengthens the A-league's claims of being safe and wonderfully cleansed of all the 'negative' elements.

What we are seeing here, in a microcosm, is a classic example of what has kept football down over the years. A few nuggets do something stupid and inexcusable, then the media over-reacts, then 'outsiders' who don't know what actually happened run with it and make out it was something far worse than it actually was.

I've watched the A League for 5 years, barely mising a home game at the Mariners and I have never seen any violence and only once saw fans try to invade, and that was the last home game of the season. I have great sympathy for the old NSL supporters and the like and can understand the frustration at the disconnect between them and the A League but this minor incident does nothing to dispel the notion that old ethnic clubs cannot be a part of the future.

Peopel who rip flares, Throw Computer parts around and generally try and pick fights with families and lads just off to the game for a good time are the exact same lads that jump on to the pitch and cause havoc.

Could peole who are lookng down their noses at the "old soccer" supporters please climb down off of your high horses as your teams are not immune.

I remember SFC and other A-League supporters jumping on the moral high horse when 20 odd West Sydney Rovers Supporters causes a bit of Stick after the SYD V Perth game in Feb.

Same type of incident yet no one called for the removal of Rovers and such that is being bandied about on this forum at the momment.

Nah, I was just having a bit of fun. I thought my response was pretty quick. ;)

There's no one on this forum that could post anything more upsetting to me than the site of those dickheads running onto the pitch - or of them trying to justify their actions as they were escorted from it.

As you said earlier, there's plenty of bother at A-league games - none of it worth discussing though because it's all "meh". Same with Sunday's incident - f*cking stupid behaviour, but no one was hurt and nothing was broken. The FFV will deal with the incident.

Thankfully due to us being part of the AFC we are required to have this become a reality due to our desire to continue participating in the ACL!

We're also required to have a system for promotion/relegation, I can't see that happening too soon.

I suspect that there will be a lot of fiddling with structures to find a way that the FFA can maintain control of the A-League whilst it 'appears' to be an independant competition - but the situation with Archie Fraser and Ben Buckley this week demonstrates clearly that there is currently no division between the two entities what-so-ever.

The fact is that everytime someone does something like this at an old "ethnic" club, all the old jealousies and stigmas will resurface. If you are an "ethnic" club, surely people will, rightly or wrongly, understand that. If it was an A League game, the media will just call them soccer hooligans. If its South, or Sydney United, or Bonnyrigg etc, it takes on the racial slant.
Not saying its right, but thats the way it is.

Why the fuck does race have to be bought into everything on this forum. FFS..!

These idiots did not run onto the field (to the best of my knowledge) yelling "Greece for eva!!" or even "NSL Rulz".

Sounds like the actions of a few morons. Every club has morons who support them, no matter the background of the club.

I love the A-League, and I thank the football gods every day that it was started, but loads of A-League clubs have had problems with their fans (Middleby incident, pub smashing by MV supporters, CCM supporters crashing threw the fencing etc) yet people like Ton of Bricks choose to ignore them so they can continue their passive racism.

The biggest issue facing football in this country is ‘the enemy within’. Not every supporter of non A-League clubs are like solympic, believe it or not, many are just football supporters who have stayed loyal to clubs they have been following for a lifetime.

If we want to achieve anything in this country with our sport, the olive branch (no pun-intended) needs to sought. When the FFA launched the A-League they used the motto “Uniting the Tribes”, well I don’t think anything but a widening gap as occurred.

Ignore idiots like solympic, even his own fellow Olympic fans think he is an idiot, and try not to turn everything into us vs them…….we are all football fans after all.

The biggest issue facing football in this country is ‘the enemy within’. Not every supporter of non A-League clubs are like solympic, believe it or not, many are just football supporters who have stayed loyal to clubs they have been following for a lifetime.

If we want to achieve anything in this country with our sport, the olive branch (no pun-intended) needs to sought. When the FFA launched the A-League they used the motto “Uniting the Tribes”, well I don’t think anything but a widening gap as occurred.

Ignore idiots like solympic, even his own fellow Olympic fans think he is an idiot, and try not to turn everything into us vs them…….we are all football fans after all.

The fans of some of these old clubs remind me of Chopper Reid the way they snap and can't control their emotions. 99 times out of 100 these 3 fans wouldn't even consider acting the way they did but every now and again they do just snap and embarrass everyone who supports football in this country. Even though this a minority there is still hundreds of fans at these clubs that could at some point just snap, be overcome with emotion and do something crazy.

What will happen if you came into the A-league and all the hardcore people who don't currently attend come to the games, it would be a ticking timebomb. Sorry Jimmy your going to have to settle for the state leagues


So is it only fans of ethnic clubs that have the potential to 'snap' as you called it. You are sar far from the mark it's funny. You act as if there is Jo crowd trouble in the A-League and all it's supporter are fuckig angels. Where the fuck do you get off claiming that most of the fans at 'these' clubs could snap
and become crazy and violent.

And people wonder why fans of the old NSL clubs hate the A-League and it's fans so much. It's the assumption that all these effniks are crazy and just a timebomb waiting to go off. It's that stereotyping that pisses us fans of the old NSL right off.


Edited by sydneycroatia58: 14/4/2010 12:34:58 AM


Your right I over reacted out of frustration when I read the article, we have these people that can't control themselves at A-league clubs as well, just not as many and they are better controlled by both their peers and security.

It is just so frustrating that a club that knows it and its supporters are under so much scrutiny still has this sort of behaviour. I think most supporters at all levels want a cup competiton and also a second divison but as long as this sort of shit keeps happening it just won't be possible.

Seeing the posts from a few of the supporters of the old clubs they seem to condone this sort of behaviour by saying that it is just passion, this minority needs to be shut out of these clubs or there will continue to be problems.

Just think how the SMFC Club Committee feel and how supporters like myself feel who try to do the right thing. With 3,000 crowd and 10 or so idiots wreck it for us all.

Hopefully they are banned for life, hopefully we can all get over the bull shit stereotyping as pointed out by sydneycroatia58 and keysor

What a shame, what a disgrace and what an embarrassment to those working hard at FFA headquarters to convince the sporting public of Australia our game has put all this despicable shit behind it for good.

Hang your heads in shame you bastards.

Tonight you and your fucking agenda is fucked for ever.

Keep drumming up support for your agenda to fuck the A-League by lobbying for SMFC to be included in the A-League, the fucking B-League or the fucking FA Cup.

Do whatever you want to me. Edit me. Ban me. Fuck me. I don't care.

But someone up there you fucking ass is looking after our sport and what has been achieved in australian football in the last 6 years and you can't change it whether I'm here in this forum to fight you or not. Your agenda is fucked.

And we have never shied away from the name Olympic :D Which atleast the name Olympic has a significance and connection to Greece, what does 'United' have connection with Croatia.

And while im ranting on and have the Croats attention. Whats the fucking deal with Luddenham United. Why are Croats out in that farm area, and worse off have a community centre and a football team out there, on roads that are not even on 4 year old GPS systems :x :x :x Biggest shithole I have been to in a while.

Doesn't appear to be too much about football on your recent posts - it seems more like a throw back to the bad old days and a love of ethnic division. Keep it up lad, you - like the other recent Olympic fans on here - are doing a very good job of highlighting how advanced the thinking of the SMFC and Sydney United fans on here is.

I don't have a problem with any ethnicities, including Turks, except with the Slav-Maso's. Why would I have anything against Cro's for? Greece and Croatia practically have no history together whether good or bad, for me to have any opinion on them. They're just neutral. I have Serb friends, I have Cro friends, i have Turk friends, hell, I even have one Muslim Bosnian mate, we all get a long and have no issues. So please don't accuse me of trying to make ethnic division, i remain guilty in hating only one particular race.

Perhaps I should clarify - "ethnic division within football", you clearly want one club for this lot, another club for that lot, and you appear to find it offensive that a club would look to engage supporters from outside their pre-defined supporter group.

Mind you we were forced to change our name. We went from Sydney Croatia to Sydney Sydney CSC( Croatian Soccer Club) but that was still deemed to ethnic so we went to Sydney United. We are the only former NSL club in NSW that has had to change their name because it was deemed to ethnic. Marconi's name has always had clear ties to the Italian community but were never told to change their name, Sydney Olympic as you stated has a connection to Greece but were never made to change their name.

Also Bonnyrigg White Eagles not a former NSL club but with numerous ties to the Serbian community both in their name and emblem have never once had to change their name because of ethic ties.

So don't act as if it was United's choice to change names we were made to and fans have always wanted to go back to the old logo and name.

Mind you we were forced to change our name. We went from Sydney Croatia to Sydney Sydney CSC( Croatian Soccer Club) but that was still deemed to ethnic so we went to Sydney United. We are the only former NSL club in NSW that has had to change their name because it was deemed to ethnic. Marconi's name has always had clear ties to the Italian community but were never told to change their name, Sydney Olympic as you stated has a connection to Greece but were never made to change their name.

Also Bonnyrigg White Eagles not a former NSL club but with numerous ties to the Serbian community both in their name and emblem have never once had to change their name because of ethic ties.

So don't act as if it was United's choice to change names we were made to and fans have always wanted to go back to the old logo and name.


Hey look mate, you don't need to preach to me about this stuff, I more then fully understand. Sydney olympic's original name was Pan-Hellenic, but we changed this in the 70's (for reasons i do not know why). I understand you frustration and the many hypocrisy's that are still happening. Atleast you were able to retain the red and white checks.

Serbia's coat of arms



BWE





The flag used by Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia from 1992-1995 and the flag they want to continue using.



Rockdale City Suns





Israel's flag



Hakoah FC in State League Division 2 logo



oh and it says Maccabi FC on there jerseys



even within your own community

you have Luddenham United who have bill boards around the field saying HNK Bosna, and what about the name, Hurstville 'Zagreb' which is quite clearly named after the capital of Croatia, and they haven't been changed.

I understand the hypocrisy and frustration that Clubs like Sydney Croatia and South Melbourne Hellas must feel when these certain examples are able to go past without any issues.

will the english FA do something about those disgraceful scenes at elland road over the weekend? ppl running onto the field after leeds scored, if that wasnt enough they ran on again in injury time and delayed the game for at least a minute, deduct 9 points off them or relegate them!

Then can you explain your problem with South Melbourne's willingness to engage a broader fanbase rather than operate as the football side of a Greek social club?

It's a balancing game (and extremely difficult i know). And when any news of potentially being in the A-league comes along, you guys ruin that balance and are willing to throw away the Greek heritage the Club has to appease the FFA. I KNOW South Melbourne has a broad range of different ethnicities supporting South Melbourne, in 2004 when i went to Bali our family met a Netherlands born man who supported South Melbourne.

The club has never thrown away its greek heritage, how can you throw something away that will always be there forever? you cant change the clubs history, but you can move forward and add to it, you are a sydney olympic supporter, your club in the nsl days moved to cronulla and called themselves the sharks, it wasnt done to move away from the clubs history, they did that to try and broaden the clubs appeal and attract more support.

South Melbourne and Sydney Olympic are very similar in many aspects, you cannot compare these clubs to Oakleigh, they only appeal to 1 suburb, olympic would have fans from all over sydney, smfc has fans all over melbourne, im not greek but i love the history of smfc, the great teams and players of the past and the passion, you dont have to be greek to enjoy that.

We moved to Cronulla and retained the name 'Olympic Sharks'.

We only get our crowds from 3-4 district areas of Sydney. Sydney is very different to Melbourne geographically.

This is where you get the facts mixed up - we don't want to throw away the greek culure - we want to add to it - I hope this makes sence

spot on

smfc is a centralised club - we cannot and will not run the club like a suburban one just because we are in the same league at the moment - we are open for business and open to opportunity - we are smfc

I am involved with the juniors at the moment - seeing kids from all backgrounds and colors sharing the ball on the field makes me so happy - the look in their eyes when they score - the way they back each other - trust each other - encourage each other .......when a jewish kid passes the ball to a greek kid who then passes the ball to a muslim kid who slots the ball into the back of the net ........and then the celebration

I feel extremely proud being part of a club with greek origins that can be the link between 2 ethnicities that otherwise may not have had a linkage - and watching their parents high 5 each other - that is football - that is smfc

Melbourne has the advantage of being much smaller then Sydney and having easier access to other parts of Melbourne. Sydney is to regional.

well it gets worse for the Club.

They actually appealed the initial decision and the result:

http://www.footballfedvic.com.au/files/7250/files/Discipline/2010%20Appeals%20Board/TA10007%20Appeals%20Board%20Written%20Determinations.pdf

6 point penalty!!

and the Clubs response (spin):

The Club wishes to announce that the FFV Appeals Board released its decision on the Club’s appeal in relation to the FFV Tribunal decision on the charges arising out of its recent match against Heidelberg United FC. The Appeals Board also published its reasons for its decision.
Although South Melbourne FC was successful in relation to all 3 matters it appealed, the Appeals Board substituted a new charge and found the Club guilty of it. The Club was deducted 6 points in relation to that charge.
The Club appealed the finding of guilt in relation to Fixed Penalty Charge MFP10, the life bans imposed on 3 of its supporters and the result of the match which had been awarded as a 3 – 0 win to Heidelberg.
The Appeals Board found the Club not guilty of charge MFP10, drastically reduced the bans in relation to the 2 supporters who pursued the appeal and reinstated the result to 1-1 which was the score when the match was abandoned in time added on for injuries. By way of clarification, the club advises that it appealed on behalf of its supporters because they had not been separately charged and had been given life bans by the Tribunal in their absence. As they had not been charged, the club lodged the appeal on their behalf.
Despite wholly succeeding on the 3 matters it brought before the Appeals Board, the club was advised in the reasons for decision published by the Board that it was found guilty of a different offence relating to the invasion of the pitch by its supporters and was deducted 6 points.
The Club is disappointed at the decision and intends to appeal.


As a SMFC supporter I am extremely disappointed and add

good luck in Singapore
good luck in staying out of the relegation zone for the rest of the season
good luck in your attempt to appeal the appeal
next time l get a parking ticket at the game l will ask the Club to represent me in court

Funny thing is the club successfully won all 3 matters that it appealed and was rewarded with a 6 point deduction...go figure

Football but not as you know it

I am hearing that the club may go over the FFA if it decides to appeal and take to court

A strange hearing. I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't have appealled the decision, that the two knackers who caused the real trouble should have been banned for life with or without the FFV's decision being passed down, and that we should have taken our 3 point penalty and fine and accepted it.

That said, it's interesting that the findings indicate that a riot appeared possible. There was nothing excusable about any of the actions described here (other than the referee stopping the game, which was the correct decision):

supporters invaded the pitch (our security was lax, as we admitted to the tribunal);

two of them were extremely verbally aggressive toward Heidelberg players;

the keeper then pushed the idiot supporter to the ground (the only act of physical violence in the whole incident); then

the referee and security diffused the situation.

To that point things were coming under control.

THEN the Heidelberg keeper turned to the supporters behind the goal, some of whom had just left the pitch, and in the full knowledge of the atmosphere within the ground he drew his finger across his throat... At which point - things got 'rowdy' again.

My question, whilst I accept everything that happened to our club as being fair and correct, is why nothing was done about the keeper's actions?

I think we need to move on from this one off incident - enough has been said from all corners.

Unfortunately, five clubs (of 12) have now been docked points this season, including most recently Dandenong Thunder three points for abusing a match official.

Along with South there was Hume, Melbourne Knights and Heidelberg before the season started.

I'll back South to make the finals regardless and put up a good show.

Let's move on and enjoy the second half of the season.

fingers crossed regarding making the finals - we seriously have a super squad - and all things being equal including the state of the pitches - should win the big one this year - but as you know including your comments regarding 5 teams being penalised points this year - nothing about this game in this country is equal

It's an amazing crack down from the FFV, but I think South will make it comfortably. Despite the points deduction, they are only a point outside the top five.

Not sure how the punishment has effected the playing group..
