Mariners v WSW - Round 23

[The_Nomad]

It's a shame about the weather as that match could have been so much better, we were outplayed for 80% of that match but we got lucky and took our chance when it came.
Guys keep working on your active support, the key ingredient to a fantastic gameday experience is the the active support...it puts bums on seats!

That hill was not nice, but i did find a $10 note on the way back to the pub. Made the trip even sweeter!

Look forward to playing you guys in the GF and beating you on penalties!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Great shot of the support walking up the hill there, it's an impressive sea of red and black! Geez, you'd think it was a bloody final or something.

Aside from a handful of idiots on both sides, it's great that you can have over 20 000 passionate supporters in one place for such an important match and have no violence. Reckon that'd happen at an NRL match?

Glad to have a few of you on the board having a bit of discussion and banter too. Even if a few are being a touch sensitive about it all ;-)

 

[true believer]

Ha! Would not know King Tom, or Melita Stadium, if they 'drove past'

A lot of band-waggoners and Euro-snobs. A whole car-load with red Manu shorts on in front of me.

mona park kev. ha ha .i use to love the bochi boyz .

Why did no one from CCM/Yellow Army do anything about the racist banner? Banter is fine, but how can you tolerate that BS?
Starting to think "seabogans" is a pretty accurate description of you lot.

I find these type of accusations pretty funny and hypocritical actually, but not surprising in the age of political correctness.
At the first game of the season at parra stadium the mrs and I were subject to actual racism. Besides being called an Aussie bogan dog and her being called an aussie pig and the like numerous times during the game we were confronted by a mob of mediterranean mixed degenerate youth in the slow penguin march leaving the stadium. I pretty much bear hugged my mrs and did my best to get us through the onslaught of insults, pushing, a cigarette flicked in my face ending in a punch to the back of my head a so called 'skip c*&#t' like me apparently deserved as we escaped.
Needless to say we wont be going back to that sh#^hole, and you will have to excuse me if I could give two f%$ks about a mildly edgy banner playing on a stereotype of asian cuisine.
I suppose I better fall back in line and give the standard apologetic self defeating 'anglo' response when charged with 'racism' a modern day witch hunter expects and thank the wanderers fans for only destroying and melting some of our seats. Thank you for no reported bashings of adolescents or families walking home. Oh thank you! wanderers fans for not burning our little 'seabogan' town down.

 

[Benched]

Joe, that is very unfortunate.
As an Aussie bogan who is an RBB member, I apologise. I remember at the match at Parra Stadium some of our dickhead element tried to pick a fight with the CCM fans at the bus stop. Then, we, the RBB, stepped in and stopped it. Those blokes have since been booted out of Parra Stadium. Don't lower yourself to their level and make assumptions we are all the same.
You don't see me on here complaining about the 'banter' I copped (even though I'm a skip I stilled got called a wog?) when I went to catch up with my mate. We also won't mention the coins being thrown at us!
Best part of that though, us scabs just picked those coins up and bought some beers!

 

[gull]

This was similar to the view we had at the match. I was sure that it crossed the line until I saw the replay.

 

[Atomic]

Just proves that it wasn't a goal

 

[kevrenor]

Leaving aside the fact that it's certainly in questionable taste and picking on someone for their nationality is really not on, it's simply a dumb thing to sing. Koreans customarily eat dog, not Japanese. Japanese eat things like horse and whale, but not dog.

Perhaps Sinji Ono ate my Willy! (or not)

Careful Kev, that's racist (whales are a race right?)

 

[Joe]

No need for apologies Benched im sure it was just rogue groups not truely part of the rbb, but thanks. Good to hear they're/you're policing dickheads hopefully we can rid ourselves of ours by the sounds of it. Lol at the coin comments, the jokes probably on them really. I bet they needed that money.

 

[Troll]

So i went up to Gosford with my cousin to see what the fuss about the Wanderers and the RBB was, and damn i thought Newcastle had racist people, i almost thought i was in Newcastle at one stage, i laughed it off though, the thing that made me laugh the most was hearing the word "Housos" being thrown at the WSW fans, maybe next time before you guys say that, just remember one town.......WOY WOY!

 

[Mumbles]

Have we reached the point where we realize we're exchanging insults at a mirror?

Working class people on the outskirts of Sydney.

Can't wait till we meet again.
Just remember, we let you win

 

[Gratis]

funny thing is half the coast moved up from west syd in and over the last 25 year's, it's all just sibling rivalry.
there's
a healthy respect and general good will and the odd dickhead that is found in any large group anywhere in the world.

 

[Benched]

Let's just hope for a CCM v WSW grandfinal. Much respect between both sets of supporters.

Ah, but where would it be held, that is the question!?

 

[MrCelery]

Silly question Chris. Wherever FFA FC, sorry WSW, wants of course.

 

[Benched]

Well, actually, no.
ANZ is booked out that weekend and we know they won't allow it at Parra or BT. And f**k going to Allianz, however I guess we have no choice.

And FTR Mr Celery, has CCM ever received assistance from FFA (like most of the comp?)

 

[dibo]

FFA held a stake for some time, don't know if they still do (which would have been a cash for equity deal).

Every club gets a handout from FFA. That's how the model works. But CCM has never been fully owned and operated by FFA.

Just taking the mickey mate. Unfortunately, we have to deal with the cards we're dealt. Tis a wee bit annoying though (mainly from the Mexicans and ironically ESFC) complaining that we are funded by FFA.
