You're a bogan.

Now you know why I bang on here about protecting Freedom of Speech and Civil Liberties, this country is losing them fast, and the bogans are too busy worrying about MasterChef and NextTopModel, to even care...

haha correct, i was at Euro 2012 went to a few games in Poland, Russia 4-1 Czech Republic, Croatia 3-1 Ireland, Croatia 1-1 Italy, Germany 1-2 Italy and holy shit ask the Russian or Croat fans once and they are obedient but if you come back and tell them something else is wrong, all hell will break loose :twisted:

Blood oath m9

And the world is flat.

This is a perfect oppurtunity for a flex your muscle type excercise.

Asian visitors need to learn about Australian culture, that means petty bureaucracy hassling them for no purpose at every available opportunity.

Drove on the M4 in Sydney this afternoon and noticed that the 'ANZ' from the large "ANZ Stadium" sign on the outside of the stadium had been taken down for the tournament.

I keep forgetting how petty the AFC is with regards to advertising at their games. At the ACL games at Parramatta they had the Coca Cola logos covered up with paper at the canteens.

...but Hahn Super Dry on their beer cups is fine

Many from Asia are used to a heck of a lot worse.

there will b many death

Would absolutely LOVE to see some of the macho dickhead seccos we have in Aus have a dig into some Argentinian or Russian fans :lol: Would be positively sensational!

RIP

Disappointing to read.

Haven't seen any troubles in Sydney or Newy yet.

More poor behaviour from the usual suspects yesterday. The whole affair was a fun day with no malicious intent from anyone bar the authorities, who are constantly the only source of trouble at these games. Police felt it was necessary to come into the stands in numbers and continue their usual bullshit in the active bay (who were totally harmless), trying to confiscate tifo and Palestinian signs made by supporters.


Meanwhile around the ground, the many fans who brought in Basque, Scotland, Ireland or Catalonia flags in solidarity with Palestinians also were harassed by seccos and police. There were a bunch of Celtic fans with a Irish flag in the corner who got a visit from police who told to sit down and shut up for the serious crime of standing up and chanting to loud.

Sydney has been great from what i've seen so far. Seccies were high fiving Iranian supporters while telling them to settle down every once in a while

Yep,

Saw a guy get removed from the stands for displaying a Scottish flag and showing his support for Palestine.

We need to film the security, and collate it together to show how fucking retarded and overbearing they are. It has to stop.

I was the one with the giant north korea flag at the ksa game that got taken down, it was due to the size of the flag not the flag its self, I wonder if the restrictions are different for you average a-league game and the asian cup

I wish we got the world cup

Security tried to confiscate 'Freedom for Palestine' banners at yesterday's game. Did not succeed when they saw the crowd react as one.

I would say that this was interpreted as a political statement, which is not allowed under FIFA rules.
Whether it is right or wrong is not up for debate, as they are clearly the laws.

Re-evaluate your life.

Sitting next to Japanese supporters, they've already had a banner taken off of them because they were taking a photo with it and were standing in the aisle

Fucking laughable

Disturbing to read many of these comments.

I hope visiting fans from overseas feel the Asian Cup is a positive experience.

was in the active area for japan last night some bloke behind me told me to sit down.. then he called aami staff and seccos who also told me to sit down otherwise id get booted out.. eventually pleaded my case saying people in front of me were standing and i couldn't see although i had no intention of sitting regardless they continued trying to get me to sit down until eventually one of the seccos agreed with me and let me be ffs

The lack of flares has been in all honestly disappointing.

Disappointing? Yes
Surprising? No, I Mean most of the RBB don't follow Australia so what chance did we have to get some pyro?

Saw a security person at the Japan V Jordan game at AAMI Park allow 6 spectators in through the gate by shifting the side barrier. They quickly ran through without scanning any tickets. not sure where they sat, but they certainly got in.
