Bourbon bek is gone. The select few remain. 

Surprised this hasn't been discussed more. Bump it up.

Calm down trooper. I have always generally been against the way the police and media treats sockah. Sometimes they are right however.

Wtf? Youre the first person to propagate bullshit about sockah fans. You ridicule the NPLs and the FFA cup...And now youre the white knight of sockah? Gimme a break. 

Best just to ignore. The game grows despite this so it is only a minor disturbance.

Seagull capital of the world......

"The police on site were reluctant to comment on crowd behaviour, saying that it’s hard to ascertain the overall behaviour when you’ve been stationed in one spot all day".

Of course they were reluctant, it's not sockah after all.

shhhhh, just tell me about flares at the wanderers games.

Boys will be boys says the chief police commissioner to everything except when it comes to sockah.

Here's one fashion criminal who has been extensively featured:



Is she losing her mind? Did she dress in all white because she thought she was going to be married to someone? IN any event let's hope the fashion police take stern and swift action.

In any event she fell over giving rise potential "beaver" shots for the photographers on hand...

Interesting. I like to know how many racing spectators were declared louts, unruly and criminals during the Melbourne Cup with their names splattered front page of the papers.

...seeking an epilogue to Wilson's article, we asked the watchdogs: what happened? As is often the case with information law breaches, the answer was: not much. Though not nothing.

If she thinks it's OK that banned football fans have no appeal rights and agreeing that crowd trouble in the A-League is akin to terrorism in France, then I think it's OK to bring up her RBT records. She and the media have never shown any morals, we can play their game too. I've learnt that whether we do good or bad, we're still all going to get tarnished with the same soccer hooligan brush.

The RBT comments are fair.

These publications are branding these individuals as criminals. As her interview suggested, she justified publishing the faces of these people by claiming that they were a danger to society. If that is why the names and faces were released then her 'Shame File' should be made public as well.

A can of worms has been opened.

Exactly, the RBT comments are playground stuff.

Journalism is a vitally important part of society.

To say "you can't comment on public safety because you did something dangerous in the past"

If 's she's right she's right, if not, sue her.

That's the issue. NRL/Cricket/AFL don't ban their fans. They may be ejected, but they're back the next week.

but RW turns it into a "football has a problem" rhetoric

#DrinkDrivingIsACrime

Also, we know that every sport has its ass hats. Visit the photo gallery of "fear of a round ball" on facebook to see huge bundle of AFL and NRL violence.

My question is - do the NRL ban there trouble makers. Some of the A-league bans were 2yrs for entering the field.
Hardly inciting a riot. But is the difference she states also due to the fact that NRL fans are just boys having fun.

Would be Ironic if true as she claims FFA do nothing. Wonder what NRL do???

Question

The 198 are banned for various reasons and for various time periods?

SOME (a very small some) of those are banned for violence issues, most are not.

The NRL have a number of players who have been Convicted and jailed for Violent issues, some of those have been signed almost the minute they walk out of jail and are playing in the NRL again. These animals (grubs insert whichever label the NSW Police force gives us football fans) are allowed to enter the stadium and play. How come those players who have a history of violence are allowed?

Glass houses. Over 90% of those "named and shamed" have no criminal charges against them. She does.

when she claims her motivation is public safety then she deserves it.

No fuck her. She's made a living by writing horrid things about people and creating divides in society. Fair game to do the same. She should be have her credibility constantly attacked and hounded until she no longer feels comfortable in the public sphere anymore.

I despise Wilson as much as everyone else - but play the ball, not the wo(man). Everyone keeps bringing up her drink driving charge rather than her incompetent 'journalism'.

just spoke to one of the editors at the daily telegraph and told her of a great front story. Pics of all nrl players who have assaulted their girlfriends/wives........didn't go down too well

Galleries of fans now taken down. Something is happening behind the scenes and it's about to get good.
