@ said:Every weekend at junior football it is shocking , and that's just from some of the kids younger than their older brothers and sisters , parents at the same games are just as bad
I think easier way of putting it , if I was to get up and tell the parents to watch their language around my 11 year old daughter at junior games I could probably guarantee I'd end up having to look after myself if that makes sense

I coached my young blokes team and on more than one occasion had to sort out a few spectators. It's amazing how quickly they quieten down when publicly shamed.
I'm an old bloke now but it saddens me the way some people carry on. Looking at the bigger picture, the 'game' is trying to clean itself up and promote itself as family friendly - to the extent of having 'women's rounds' and actively promoting the game to the ladies. I'm sure the club, particularly with the new leadership, would be of the same mind. This sort of behaviour undoes all that in an instant.
Imagine the reaction from a first time female spectator if some moron starts dropping the 'c bomb' right next to her.
Don't get me wrong, I swear like a trooper, but I'm very careful of the time and place and never in front of women and kids, and definitely not in front my wife or kids.

@ said:@ said:Good story. Unidentified person does not use racist language, Chairman retorts against racism.
No offence Nofo but just pretend you can't hear idiots like that. They are trolling you for a reaction, and bingo you've given what they want.
Yep, I agree.
You'd think being an adult he would have a thicker skin than that.
Having a whinge about it on social media isn't going tog et you much sympathy.
@ said:@ said:I'm not questioning Nofoaluma on this , but I'm wondering why a Roosters supporter would say that …...
It just sounds like something a WT's supporter would say , if that makes sense , not in the sense that we are like that , but a Tigers fan is more likely to be frustrated with Nofoaluma ....
If a rooster supporter thinks he is that bad , why would they care , if he is that bad wouldn't it only help his team win ........
Yep thats what I was thinking, more likely one of ours. Pretty poor form regardless

I've always thought - complaining about something on social media is like shouting into a valley. Maybe some folks will hear you, but likely nobody gives a toss.
Unless I missed something and Nofo has more followers than Elon Musk or LeBron James.

Well I suppose there is a chance it could have been a Tigers supporter who had a big TAB payout riding on a Tigers win the last time they played Newcastle.
@ said:Wow, the Roosters had fans at one of their games?
Look Nofo shouldn't have to cop it. It's bad form on their fans to just berate an injured player. If I was there, I would have given it straight back to them with language not allowed on this forum.
Soccer has this thick skinned approach. We don't and I don't think we want too much sledging.
Probably not racism, but not cool that a non white player just seems to be targeted.

I was at Newcastle game back in the day just after Joey got busted with drugs, And his own fans had banners with a macca's cup on it saying "he loves his coke and ice", HIs own fans.
Its football….....weve already lost too many traditional aspects of the game to over sensitive members of our sporting community.
Lets not loose the sledge.....Please.

Because true "sledging" was fun .. what happened to Nofoaluma wasn't sledging
Like banter it could be aimed at the opposition , could be aimed at your own players …. :smiley:
I have read the some of the sledging made by West Indian cricket supporters , they got it .

In my opinion that"s exactly what it was….....A good old fashioned sledge.
Imagine what they would have been yelling out to Raudonikis when he left the field.
Its only because we have a young man with a twitter account that were even talking about this.
