Same old story

Have to give credit to Dean Ritchie (daily telegraph journalist), he was fair in his article. Usually they paint us with a very broad brush


The only negative to Belmore on Sunday was social media vision of some Bulldogs fans taunting a Raiders supporter, known as Simon the Drummer, post-game.
Bulldogs fans surrounded Simon with one man trying to drag the visiting Raiders fan, dressed in full Canberra apparel, to the ground.
Even some Canterbury fans were angry at the minority of fellow supporters who attempted to humiliate the Canberra man.
One Bulldogs fan posted: “Celebration does not excuse abuse and stupidity. Simon the drummer did not deserve this.”

I heard Raiders supporters call him 'Simon the Bummer' because he turns up to their games with a drum and not a horn?

I have always thought it was an Australian N R L rugby league club not just a Lebanese club .I don't get to many games as I live out in the bush in rural QLD went to a game in BRISBANE years ago and there was another BULLDOG supporter sitting in front of where I was, he started trying to annoy the broncos' fans was an absolute clown by half time I was ready to crack the idiot. IN my opinion we don't need clowns for me to go to a game and spend money as well as on travel and accommodation I want to be able to enjoy the game as everyone should so all it takes is to have respect for other people no matter who they support.

Unfortunately there are a lot of clowns that attend NRL games. They’re at every club. Passionate but have NFI.

That my friend is a global issue for the most part, some old fashioned values still have a place in my eyes and it’s not a bad thing to tell your kid to pull their head in rather than worship everything they do including sh!t behaviour or passing it off as “being kids”…. If I acted like a boof-head mum, dad or both would have charred my ass back in the day.

My Mum handed out the discipline

My mum did too. Wooden spoon or the handle of a feather duster.

I think discipline in schools isn’t strong enough now. Detention achieves little. Working at the HSC for the last 5 years has highlighted this to my wif and I. Gee there are precious self entitled little shits that wouldn’t have survived school in my era.

Poor bloke thinks that we are the only club with a minority of idiot supporters. If he gets out more and gets for example to a Sharks or Manly game he’ll see that every club has a minority group that are just trouble. But it’s easy to just sit back and act all staunch behind a screen

Well said.

How is this fake news? There is a video of 2 people, 1 pushed him around, the other grabbed him from behind. Both were not welcomed and could be viewed as assault.

Why should we who are also supporters just stick up for a small segment of troublemakers?

Going to call me names too?

The fake element is the exaggeration on the severity of the incident. There is no way that this was the worst incident that happened across the round. The boys were acting like idiots but there are actual brawls regularly at games across the league and calls for life bans is way over the top. There is a reason that this has not been a huge media story
 
This bloke is going to be on 60 Minutes by Sunday saying Dogs fans held knives to his throat and bashed his children..

His story is getting more elaborate with each media outlet he runs to.



Defiant Canberra celebrity supporter Simon Tayoun has vowed to return to Belmore Sports Ground next season - even though he admits fearing for his life as he was attacked by Bulldogs fans on Sunday.

Tayoun - born and raised in war-torn Lebanon - says he has never experienced the fear he felt as a group of Canterbury supporters allegedly hit him, pushed him to the ground and abused him after Sunday's game.

"They did that to me after they won - had they lost, I think they may have killed me," Tayoun, aged 59, told Wide World of Sports.

"It was vicious and when I begged for help, others just egged them on and filmed it with their phones… it was horrible."

Tayoun is a legend in Canberra, wearing a Raiders helmet with horns and beating his drum to the trademark Viking clap at home and away games.

"I have barely missed a game in 35 years and have copped some abuse now and then but this was a whole new level," he said.

"They hit my helmet with sticks, one pushed me to the ground from behind, there were kids swearing at me right in front of their parents who did nothing - there was no respect.

"There was no security and it could have got a lot worse - I guess I was lucky they were in a good mood because they won.

"But they won't break me - then they win. I will be back next season cheering on my Raiders.

"Several of the players - including Hudson Young and Josh Papali'i - messaged me to see if I was OK… even fans from other clubs sent messages of support.

"I got a call from (Bulldogs chief executive) Aaron Warburton apologising for the incident so that all made me feel a little better."
 
Like the guy on the kennel podcast said if we as supporters see idiots being idiots pull them aside and have a quiet word with them to pull their heads in

That already happens and has been happening for a while.

It's always young idiots getting pulled up by older fans. We know the scum media froth for this shit.

Comparing war torn Lebanon to kids at belmore?
Also saying they would’ve killed him if we lost?
Talk about over exaggerating.
Raiders fan was a leb 100% made the story worse than it was.
