The SMH is actually running the story as their top story online tonight.
As they would, the attention is gone from the poor performance of the refs and 100% on the Bulldogs...... because Greenberg played it better than Castle did by a long margin.
Ok cool , thats your opinion and you're entitled to it , my opinion is that fighting it would create more animosity towards the club from everywhere , media , fans , companies looking to invest via sponsorship and I don't think that is the best way to go about it , you gotta pick your battles and that (again in my opinion) would be a losing one
Is this the same ahe cee from 2003/2004 on the kennel??
Don't think so, I was lurking back then, pretty sure this has been my only account.
No I was referring to the "haters can go fu(k em selves" part, it's exactly the reaction the haters want from you .... Rise above & don't bring yourself down to the haters level. No I'm not going to be reporting anyone , I wouldn't know any of them if they stood up in my soup.
Out of our hands. Let them have their glory with stories on the bad dogs. Notice the bali9 duo rarely get a mention. Eventually it will just be another incident in the memory bank. If fans can't stomach the stigma they might be following the wrong club. Sucks that some spectators overstepped the mark though but that's life. They weren't molotov cocktails at least.
I misunderstood your post. My sincere apologies RO11LR
Parra fans threw coins 3 years ago but their fans still feel safe at games. Why? Because there isn't perpetual outrage attached to every move made by Parra fans. The NRL and the media don't go nuts unless it's Bulldogs fans. A few waterbottles get thrown by Bulldogs fans and suddenly it's the bottle-ocolypse ©.
All good mate , you're are obviously a passionate fan too , I think we both hate seeing our club dragged through the mud
Well done Symm, couldnt have said better.
Well said. I don't support or justify the throwing of things onto the field, or at the refs, but the hysteria over it is alarming and ridiculous. It was made out to be MUCH worse than it really is.True, although even back when scrums where real and you didn't get a few week ban for accidentally hurting someone in a tackle, it still wasn't allowed (and, you don't have to look that far back to see when its happened before).
Personally, I'm not looking to defend anyone who did it, I more so just don't really care.... its the NRL and the media building it up like its a first, and the biggest deal in the world. Seriously, they where water bottles.... where it not for a clumsy ref trying to dodge one, slip and break a bone, we wouldn't even he hearing about it.
I say ANZ are behind pumping up the story to avoid the clear OH&S issue with a ref slipping on the flooring and breaking a bone to avoid a compo claim.
Throw a half empty water bottle at me right now.... I'll say "ow" then move on, its really not such a deadly weapon
Well if Bulldogs fans don't throw said bottles there is no need to request equal treatment , yes ?
Well thats just stupid.
lol you calling someone who got 94/100 on the IQ test stupid, whatever you think buddy
No , you're putting words in my mouth , if our fans don't throw bottles then we are better than fans that throw anything , those that threw the bottles are bring themselves and the rest of us down to their level , I don't want that.
